ONLY THREE DYNAMlTERs,
 tsAYS LAWYER HARDING. Counsel for Defendants in Conspiracy Case Outlines His Defense.

Indianapolis, Oct. 8.-What the de- fense will be in the trial of 45 men accused by the government of com plicity in the dynamite conspiracy was outlined before the jury today by William N. Harding, attorney for the defendants. Mr. Harding said that at outseS 1t would be shown that the executive board of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers never appropriated j dollar to be used .or dynamiting. He asked the jury to suspend judgment until after the witnesses had testified. If anyone connected with the union diverted the funds for any illegal pur- pose the guilty persons. he said. 1t would be shown, were not among the present defendants.
 When you have heard all of the testimony" said MT. Harding, i've think you will have concluded that about three men were engaged in the snefarious work Sof dynamiting, and that those three men already have pleaded guilty
 Referring to letters written by Frank M. Ryan, president of the Iron Workers union, to various business agents, which the government quoted 1 as showing that jobs" was the term used to designate explosions against employers of non-union labor, Mir Harding said 1t would be shown that 1 "jobs" meant only new work which offered opportunity for union men to get employment. He added that il would be upon the very letters which i the government quoted in the indict-
 ments that the defense expected tc
 rest its case.
 The district attorney had just com l pleted an address to the jury of 2;
 hours, covering five days. In conclud- | ing, he described the arrests of J. B l McNamara and Ortie E: McManigal a
 Detroit, saying that while in tht hands of detectives McNamara had of. fered first $5,oo0 and then $3o.o00 | 1 they would free him.
 "McNamara said it was no use t(
 arrest him, for behind him he had thu Iron Workers union, and behind thu

ble of causing rupture of the peace.
 .Second-That, leaning on Article XXIII. of the treaty of Berlin, they will take in hand in the interest of the Balkan peoples the realization of re- forms in the administration of Euro- pean Turkey, it being understood that these reforms shall not affect the sov- ereignty of the sultan or the territorial integrity of the Ottoman empire. The powers reserve to themselves liberty of action for collective ulterior study of these reforms
 "Third-That, if, nevertheless, war breaks out between the Balkan states and the Ottoman empire. they will permit at the end of the conflict no modification of the territorial status quo in European Turkey. The powers will make collectively to the sublime porte representations similar to the above declaration"
 Mcntenegro's Patience Exhausted. In declining to concur in the views of the two powers, the Montenegrin government declared that it's patience was exhausted. For over two months it had been protesting in vain to Tur- key and resort to arms was the logical sequence Even if Montenegro stood alone it was added she was unable to act differently.
 An explanation of the Balkan union is given by an official who understands the situation thoroughly. An alliance properly speaking. does not exist. For instance, Montenegro is not allied with i Servia. But Bulgaria, after signing a treaty with Servia, concluded a second treaty with Montenegro and third with Greece. Bulgaria, therefore stands as the link binding together the Balkan states, and 1t Is Bulgaria thai plays tho leading role.

GOVERNOR WILSON MAKES
 REPLY TO ROOSEVELT.
Reiterates That Steel Trust is Behind
 Him in Thought.

Kansas City, Mo-. Oct Ex-Governor Woodrow Wilson in his speeches at Topeka, Kass today and here tonight, replied to Colonel Roosevelt's request that the democratic nominee prove or retract the declaration that the United States Steel corporation is behind the third party programme for regulating trusts.
 The governor reiterated that the steel corporation was behind the third party programme in thought" and added that he knew nothing of any financial support.
 T understand from the newspapers ? said Governor Wilson in his Topeka speech, that MT. Roosevelt was dis tressed by my suggestion that the United States Steel corporation was back of his plan for controlling the trusts
 "He interpreted my remark to mean that they were supporting him with their money. I was not thinking about money. I do not know whether they are supporting him with their | money or not; it does not make any | difference. What l meant was they are supporting him with their thought and their thought is not our thought. meant, and I say again, that the kind | of control which he proposes Is the | kind of control that the United States Steel corporation wants.
 T am perfectly willing to admit that they think it Is best for the country My point is that this Is method con-
 ceived from the point of view of the
 very men who are to be controlled
 and that that is just the wrong point
 of view from which to conceive it."
 The governor charged that the
 Roosevelt programme was mot pro-
 gressive at all in its fundamentak'
 and remarked that Ebert H. Gary
 head of the steel corporation, anC
 George W. Perkins, a director, sug-
 gested the plan of governmental con.
 trol of trusts.
 And if MT Roosevelt" said the gov
 ernor. lis willing to have Mir. Perkins l suggest how the corporations ought t,
 be regulated. why will he not be will l ing to take suggestions from the sam , quarter as to the detail of the regula tion? Mark you, I am not discussinj , individuals. I know MT. George Per , kins.

Railroad Men Testify Regarding Wreck
 of Springfield Express.

New York, Oct S.-Fifty miles an hour while making a crossover from one track to another was the speed travelled by the New Haven and Hart ford railroad train which was wrecked at Westport, Conn. last Thursday, ac- cording to testimony brought out at a federal inquiry begun today into the cause of the disaster.
 No train can safely take a crossover at such speed, witnesses testified. Thirty miles an hour is the maximum at which a train should run at such a time one witness declared, while oth- i. CTS placed the customary speed at 15 miles maximum.
 E H. McHenry, a vice president or the New Haven road, testified that no train could make a crossover at 50 miles an hour, and that the accident was due to a violation of orders. The hearing was before Interstate Com merce Commissioner Charles F. Nc Chord, with whom sat Richard T. Hig
 gins, chairman of the public utilities commission of Connecticut, and E. c. Elwell, chief engineer of the Connecti- cut commission. Philip J. Doherty examined witnesses for the govern
 ment, and Edward G. Buckland, vice president of the New Haven road, was counsel for the company. Michael Coyle, for five years tele-
 graph operator in charge of the sig
 nals and switches at Westport, testi- fed in his opinion the train was going 50 miles an hour. No train could cross at faster than 30 miles, he said. Bart ley Gordon, a traction boss, said the train was eonin~ at 55 or 50 miles when he saw it.

London, Oct S.--While none of the Balkan states except Montenegro had iip to a late hour tonight declared war against Turkey, everything points to such action within a. few days. and perhaps within few hours. It is be- Iieved here that Bulgaria and Turkey are both manoeuvring to throw the onus of the first hostile act on the other, and that Montenegro's declara- ton of war was made with the cog niza6ce of the. other Balkan states to forestall interference by the powers. The latter, however, are continuing their efforts to avert war.
 Small clashes Occurring.
 Small clashes are already occurring on the Montenegrin frontier in an ef- fort apparently to hold a Turkish army corps at this point until they can be relieved by reserve divisions of Redifs. The first severe fight is ex- pected in the direction of Scutari, as 1t Is unlikely that the Montenegrins will attempt to penetrate to Novipazar. Bulgaria and Servia May Declare War

A FATAL ARGUMENT
 OVER WORLDS SERIES
File Flew While Being Used to Dem
 onstrate Batting Methods.

New York, Oct. s.-An impromptu demonstration of baseball technique growing out of a good -natured argu- ment over the worlds series, led to a pitiful tragedy in a downtown work shop late today. To illustrate the bat ting methods of a favorite player Frank Groshaus. an IS year old metal worker, picked up a 1-2- foot file with wooden handle, for a bat and had George Brown, F years old. a fellow employe, pitch to him with a bit of metal.
 Groshaus missed the first ''ball'' pitched and the file, insecurely fasten- ed. flew from the handle and hurtled through the air directly at Brown, the sharp point piercing his left side. The young pitcher dropped and an ambu lance surgeon who was called found him beyond aid He died two hours later in hospital. Groshaus was ar rested on a homicide charge.
