C. replied the witness, | 1t was the umbrella which the gov ernment charges Edward Clark, cincin- natl, carried when he attempted to blow | up the bridge and which he held over the dynamite to protect 1t from a heavy rain. The government asserts Clark after lighting the fuse, forgot the un. brella. Clark at the opening of the present tripl, pleaded guilty. The in dlctment alleges that Herbert $. tlockln, acting secretary of the tnternational Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, assisted Clark In pre- pairing for the Dayton explosion. A dozen foremen of construction firms testified about explosions. H. c Rey- holds, Richmond, Va. told of an attempt to blow up bridge across the susque- hanna river near Perryvllle, Md on June ?. 1908, when four men ran away, leaving dynamite behind.

Objections Are Overruled

Judge Albert B Anderson before whom the 45 men charged with Illegal transportation of explosives are being tried, rendered several rulings in am swer to objections raised by the defense. He ruled that evidence concerning all the 100 explosions referred 70 by the aaorarIun@at, ipclndihg the Les Autgcios Mines disaster. might be introduced as showing q motive. He said a conspiracy already had been proven by the pleas of guilt on tle part of Clark and Ortie E. McManigal. but the jury was to de- termine whether the remaining defend- ants were implicated.
 The court stated further that the gov ernment had undertaken to show that the object of the conspiracy was much broader than the mere Illegal trans-- portation of dynamite and nitroglycerin that the explosives were being trans ported to destroy property and to en- force "a reign of terror' against con tractors who maintained the open shop" As showing the scope of what evidence might be offered the court cited decisions which grew out of a railroad employees dispute.
 Tie original purpose of the employees, the court said, was not to obstruct the United States mails, but as an incident of the execution of the conspiracy to tie up other trains, the mall trains were obs structed. The United States supreme court held that all the acts constituted conspiracy to obstruct the mails.

Me Namara, secretary of the union when he was conducting a "dynamiting campaign, testified that many checks made payable to k. A. Clancey in San Francisco were charged up as advances to Clancy. The government charges the money was used to promote explosion.
 Further widening of the latitude of evi- dence to be introduced was ordered in rulings by Federal Judge Anderson. As soon as the government began calling foremen of jobs where explosions occurred. Senator Kern, counsel for the i5 derend- ants, objected on the ground that details of explosions were not material to the governments allegations of illegal inter- state shipment or explosives. District AL torney Miller held that the evidence was revelant as tending to show motive. Judge Anderson oyerruled the objection and also overruled another objection that some of the overt acts as charged were elimi- mated by the statute Of limitations.

HOUSTON MARKETS.
Special 10 The Herald:

Special 10 The Herald:
Houston, Texas, July NEARLY a
month late the new crop cotton had
not produced the first bale up to
the first Of July. From that time on
the cotton interests of Houston were
prepared to receive the initial bale,
reports coming from San Benito, Har-
lingen and other points in the
Brownsville country tina several diff
ferent patches are being groomed
and carefully handled for the first
bale.
Reports coming into the Houston
Chamber of Commerce from every Sec
ton Of the State show a favorable
outlook for cotton and a bumper crop
is expected. The general condition is
good, rains have been plentiful over
the State and because of the better
seasoning in the ground this year
the plant is healthy and more sturdy.
Only a few section report the appear
ance of insects. The boil weevil is
| reported to have shown up in the Rio
Grande valley and jim the San An
tonic district. However in both in
stances the damage is small. The cot
ton movement in July will be disap-
pointing and but about % percent Of
the same period last year, while the
August movement will not be over
10 per CEN of the total of the same
period lats year. 1t is not expected
picking in the Southern part of the
State will become general until July
25, August Is in she central portion
and as late as September l to 10
in the Northern belt.
Weather reports from over the
South show favorable and on the
whole the outlook for the entire belt
is encouraging. At a few points there
is reported a surplus of rain and in
a few sections moisture is needed.
An unusual movement for fruit
and vegetables is noted through the
Houston produce market. Peaches and
plums are the chief Texas fruit on
THE market and prices fluctuate only
on The quality Of the stock offered.
W~atermelons still continue to bring
good prices and the cheap melon is
still looked for and desired.
General commercial activity
Through the Southern half Of Texa:
is in good condition. Dry good houses
and wholesale grocers report bis
trade, which evidences optimism
throughout the rural districts. Build
ing is active throughout the South
lern territory.

Aside from this enormous loss to
life and limb, hundreds OF thousands
of dollars in property values are
wiped out OF existence each year
through the careless handling and
promiscuous scattering of fireworks.
While the Fourth Of July record
in Texas, from a standpoint Of ac-
cident, death and fire, may not be
nearly so heavy as losses of the day
in other states, the foregoing figures
should appeal to the thoughtful cit
izenship of the state that sane and
wholesome celebrations of the Glor-
ious Fourth alone a forestall tho
possibility Of injury to both person
and property.
This department would urge the
mayors and other public officials of
cities and towns in the state, to is
sue proclamations warning the pub
lie OF dangers incident to the use
of fireworks, and Where there are
ordinances prohibiting or regulating
|dhe use thereof, to see to it that such
ordinances are vigorously enforced.
AS a further precaution against fire,
trash, waste paper, old boxes and
barrels and all other useless hazards
should be carted away and destroyed.

memorate the birth of this grand re-
public, but in doing so, it is well to
remember that the non-use of fire.

patriotism than the use of them with
