Paper Trail Left by Labor
Leaders In Dynamite Plots

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, February Is.
Sensational and specific charges
that the dynamite conspiracy was
conducted with full knowledge of men,
bers of the executive board of the
International Association of Bridge
and structural Iron Workers, includ-
ing President Frank M. Ryan; that
the whole conspiracy, extending over
years, was recorded on paper; and that
OTtie E. McManigal, the confessed
dynamiter, who shifted shuttle like
over the country on missions of de,
struction, were made public tonight by
District Attorney Miller.
Mr.. Miller announced the contents
of an indictment known as that COW
ering "unconsummated acts" of the
cons piracy, and it is to be the basis
upon which the government intends
to conduct it's prosecution.
The indictment charges Ryan, Her
bert Hockin of Detroit, Michael ]
Young of Boston, John T. Butler OF
Buffalo, and Frank G. Webb of New
York with conducting the conspiracy
through the mail, and names all fifty
four defendants as abettors.
1t declares that a regular system Of
pointing out non-union steel and iroI
construction jobs was carried on, anC
that the executive members not only
contributed money to buy explosives
but assisted in the work which McMan
igal was to do.
The basis of all the charges liei
briefly in 10000 letters and telegram'
taken from the iron workers interna
tional headquarters. These letters pur
port to be between Ryan, Hockin
Webb and other officials and business
agents,

The principal allegations in the in

JARRETT'S PLAN
FOR HACKSTANDS

Sheriff Jarrett has handed to Deputy
City attorney Milverton the following
list of changes proposed in the loca-
ton of hackstands:
No. / stand, now on the makai side
of Beretania near east corner of Maui

King and Hotel.
No. 4, now on the east side of Emma
street near Beretania, to mauka side
of Queen between Maunakea and Ke-
kaulike streets.
No. $3.50" stand, now at E. o.

Changes in regulations are proposed
as follows:
Not more than twelve hacks shall
be registered to a stand, and they are

Hacks which wait at the opera

No hacks are to be tied on streets
away from hackstands. Hacks are tC
be registered each year, and drivers
are to notify the sheriff when they
change hacks.
Chauffeurs operating rent machines
must pay license the same as hacl
drivers, and all must wear badges anC
must register when they change cars
No games of any sort are to b,
played in or near hacks. This vii

then the hand of George Fred Will
Jams of Massachusetts, who though not
pronounced in favor Of any individual
candidate, is very emphatic in opposl-
ton to Governor Wilson. In fact, there
is an obvious ralying Of the Bryan
forces to Clark, though the Nebraskan
himself remains uncommitted and to
shrewd observers a trifie hostile.
The Bryanite feature of the Clark
campaign gives rise to certain inter
esting speculation. Almost at the mo-
ment when Folk was putting the hall
mark of success on the Clark candi-
dacy in Missouri, the House was lis
tening to a savage attack on Mr..
Bryan coupled with earnest laudation
of Messrs. Clark and Underwood by
Congressman Dies of Texas. Every
reference to the two House leaders as
superior in ability and political integ-
rity to the Nebraskan aroused storms
of applause. Yet it is to the Bryan
heads and the Bryan following that

What Europe Thinks.

We have been in Europe since May,
1911. l talked with people about
Roosevelt. It upset me to see him In
European cartoons But this did not
surprise me as much as an interview
had with a most distinguished men,
Der OF the British parliament only two
weeks ago. He said that while the
greatest admiration was everywhere
found in England for Roosevelt, both
with statesmen and the masses, his
radicalism was against him. He quot

Kaiser, which got an American ad.
miral into trouble at Manila during
the Spanish war. Why said he, it's
something worse than this He said
to me that many big men politically
felt that the speed with which RoOse-
welt acted even in international mat
ters would cause him If he were again
elected to interfere with the relation

arise, and that the work toward a gen.
eral understanding of all nations
might be unbalanced by some radical

If anyone wishes 20 know what
the situation out in California is they
will find that the real truth was shown
about thirty days ago. The Sacra-
mento Union sent out postal cards to
prominent men in every town Of bust
ness, politics, clergy and every one
whose opinion was worth while. This
was for the northern half of the state.
Taft got three Endorsements to Roose-

WASHINGTON, February 15.-The
withdrawal of Ex-Governor Folk from
the presidential race makes Speaker
Clark the most formidable of the as
pirants for the Democratci nomination.
Nobody except Folk ever took the ex-
governors presidential ambitions very
seriously, and sometimes l have doubt
ed whether he did. There was a sort
of twinkle in his eye, suggestion OF
a smile on his face when he talked OF
his prospects that more than once leu
me to doubt whether he was in any
way self-deluded. Perhaps by keeping
the field SO long, Folk has helped
rather than hurt Clark. 1t has pre-
vented his being an active candidate
and has lessened the time before the
convention in which he can make blum
jers. Not that / mean that Clark Is
more prone to blundeT than others

Now he springs into the open at the

the polls and almost invite defeat.
Might Split Party at Polls.
The game has progressed to the
stage where the Colonel they say,
could obtain the nomination only after
a struggle which would cause such
disruption in the party as to allow
an easy breach for the Democrats.
The time has gone by when he could
have the nomination come to him
seemingly as a compromise or to break
deadlock between the progressives
and the old guard.
If he should go into the convention
and take the nomination from Taft,
allowing such thing to be probable,
they insist he would split the Repub
lican party wide open at the polls,
Many of them think the Colonel
realizes this fact, and thereby they
account for his refusal to allow his
friends to declare him a candidate.
Qualification at White House.
! Taft spirits we're at high tide among
White House callers today. The re-
nomination of the President was pre-
dicted with the most confident air no.
I ticeable so far, and Republicans gen
orally declared that the President
would not only be renominated, but
would be reelected.
The steady progress being made in
all parts of the country since the Taft
men began to get into the game with
real spirit is observable everywhere in
the election of instructed delegates
and in the passage of resolutions of in
dorsement by Republican Organiza-
tions.
President Taft's managers are de-
lighted with the interest being shown
by business men in the south and else
where in the denomination of the
President. Letters received show
that it is not the federal office holder
who is doing the bulk of the work for
the President in southern states.
Many letters received here show
that Democratic business men and
bankers in the south, who extend cred.
it's and keep business alive, have
passed word to the Republican lead
ers that Taft must have the delega.
lions of their states.
The Democrats are gratified, too,
that it is not big business or shady
business that is lending a helping
hand. 1t is the substantial business
man of all shades and sorts. So far
as Wall street goes, the information
from there is that the majority of the
bulls and bears still favor Roosevelt
believing that he would be more sat,

body else. A close friend of ex-Presi
dent Roosevelt, who reached Washing

WASHINGTON, February 15.-Re-
ports coming to the Capitol to Repub-
lican senators and representatives,
from widely separated sections of the
country agree in the statement that
there is pronounced movement in
favor Of the denomination of Taft
among business and property inter
ests.
This does not refer to big business
so-called, but relates to the great mass
of substantial, careful men of prop
erty, watchful of their own interests,
and guardian for those of others. 1t
is said to be noticeable among the
small merchants, professional men,
home owners and the solid men" of
the community generally.
The reports say these people seem
to have sized up the political situation
in it's present state as being precari'
Gus, full of unknown quantities, some
of them ominous, and that gradually
but surely they are turning to Taft as
a safe proposition.

PAPA JOHNSON SAYS ROOSEVELT
IS M'NAMARA OF POLITICS

NEW YORK, February 15.-Grove
l.. Johnson of Sacramento father of
CaliforniR's governor, Hiram Johnson,
assailed Theodore Roosevelt tonight
as the Mcnamara of politics."
Mr.. Johnson returned today from
Europe and declares that even the ex-
presidents admirers abroad fear for
the peace of the country should Mr.
Roosevelt again become the President
of the United States.
Today Hiram w. Johnson is at the
Waldorf hotel and Grove L. Johnson
and his wife are at the Belmont.
Hiram Johnson, the governor, is a
radical progressive and has just told
Colonel Roosevelt that he can have
California's votes. Grove l.. Johnson,
the father, arrived on the Olympic two
days later, and says:
He Recalls 1907.
Roosevelt and the men with him
are the McNamaras of politics. Not
only will Roosevelt not get CALIFORNIA;
support, but his action on the Japan
ese school question in 1907 brought
fresh to the minds of Californians by
his present possible candidacy, will
rekindle the resentment of a people
who feel that their personal rights
were infringed upon.
Roosevelt renTesents every man in
America who has political grievance

pie who are not united on what they
wish but who wish something-thosC
who follow every ism under the sur

President Taft Against
The Reduction of Cavalry

WASHINGTON, February 15.-At
the annual banquet of the Department
of the Potomac. Grand Army of the
Republic, last evening at the Airing
ton Hotel President Taft, speaking
to more than 200 veterans of the war
between the states, made a plea
against the reduction of the number
Of cavalry regiments in the regular
army Coming from the foremost ad-
vocate among the worlds rulers of
universal peace and international ar
bitration, the address of the President
was regarded as particularly sig
nificant. He said
you are a part OF the great army
that saved the republic. You are an
evidence that in the past, at least,
though a republic we have not been
able to live without war. You are not
in love with war. You know what it
is. You understand the awful con.
sequences in its immediate happen
ing, the dreadful consequences that
follow for years, even after it comes
to an end, and ! never rise before a
body of Grand Army men that I don't
know that l find in their hearts a re-
spouse to every effort that is made
for future peace.
Should Be Prepared,
"War is an awful thing to contem-
plate, and / have no doubt that you
who look back to the real blood, to
the cruelties and to the awful sor
rows that were in war, can testify
that it is something not to wish for
but something to avoid at all honor
