FRANK N. RYAN TO TAKE STAND
EXPECTED TO BE FIRST WITNESS
FOR THE DEFENSE.
10 Charged With Aiding in Illegal
Transportation Of
Explosive.

indianapolis, Dec. 2.-As the first Of
the witnesses for the defense and him
self the most prominent defendant,
Frank M. Ryan, president Of the In
ternational Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers, probably will
testify at the dynamite conspiracy"
trial at the close of the governments
case.
The government announced it would
close it's case with one more witness.
The defense is to follow with the GUS
tomary motions for dismissal Of GER
tain Of the defendants on the ground
that the government has not sustained
Its charges against them.
The defense's attorneys headed by
Senator John w. Kern and William
N. Harding, will then begin examin-
Ing It's witnesses. The plan is to have
each defendant precede the witnesses
called in that particular defendants
behalf. Altogether $50 new witnesses
have been summoned.
President Ryan has been at the head
Of the union for seven years. He was
present when John j. Mcnamara, the
secretary-treasurer, was arrested at
the headquarters in Indianapolis in
April, 1911. He, with other officials,
Is charged with appropriating the un-
Ions money to carry on dynamiting
campaign against non-union work in
connection with which the Mcnamara
brothers now are in prison in Cali
fornia.
Charges of aiding in illegal trans
portation Of dynamite against Ryan
are based on letters taken from Nc
Namara's files. These letters. the
government asserts, show that Ryan
and the executive board members
stopped publishing the unions expen-
ditures so that Mcnamara would not
have to show in detail what he did
with $1,000 a month. John T. Butler,
Buffalo, vice president, Michael J.
Young, Boston, Phillip A. Cooley. New
Orleans; Henry w. Legleitner, Denver
and Eugene A. Clancy San Francisco,
as present or past members of the
executive board, are among other de-
PENDANTS scheduled soon to testify.

although he would agree to being
sworn in as president on March 4, as

INDEMNITY ESTIMATED

London, Dec 2.-Telegraphing from
Sofia, the Daily Nails correspondent
asserts that the allies will demand
from Turkey as a war indemnity 49,.
100000 pounds ($s4O.0 00,OOO). The
correspondent at Constantinople of the
same paper says:
Buigarians conciIiatory.
after the armistice is signed, an
interval of a week will elapse, for
the appointment of plenipotentiaries
to negotiate peace. The Bulgarians
have shown considerable Cancellation
In the last few days.
'They are beginning to realize that
they are too exhausted ever to break
the Tchatalja lines.
Dissension Among Allies.
also the allies are beginning to
dispute among themselves, which is
an additional reason for wishing to
finish the war quickly"
The signature of the protocol Of the
armistice. which was expected Sun
day was postponed until Tuesday, as
the Greek delegate has not yet re-
ceived the necessary authority from
his government.
Garrisons Given Rations.
1t is understood that the armistfce
will extend for about fortnight If
necessary and cover the whole field
of operations. The difficulty with re.
spect to the beleaguered garrisons Of
Adrianople and Scutari is being sur
mounted by permitting them to re-
ceive daily rations during the armi:
stice.
The plenipotentiaries appear to
have been concerned so far solely in
arranging the armistice, but peace
conference is expected.
May BE Last Shot Of War.
A strong feeling is entertained that
the last shot in the war will have
been fired when the armistice is
signed.
There is little doubt that the peace
negotiations will be difficult and pro
tracted. The question of holding a
European ambassadorial conference
still is undecided, but the information
al situation is much more peaceful.
The Servian government denies the re-
ported preparations for conflict with
Austria, while the Austrian press is
much less bellicose.
MontenegrIn Crown Prince Wounded.
Paris.-Crown Prince Danielo Of
Montenegro, has been seriously
wounded, according to Rieka report
to the Matin. He received his wounds
In an assault on the Turkish position

brought to Rieka in an ambulance,
according to the reports, where an
operation was performed for resec.
ton of the intestine which had been
perforated.
