EDWARD CLARK SAYS ACCUSA.
TlON THAT HE BLEW UP
13 JOBS" is TRUE.
PLEADS IN TREMBLING VOICE
Forty-SeVen Other Defendants in In.
dlanapolis Trial Scow and Nut
ter as Companion Faces Judge
and Changes Front.

| Indianapolis, oct. S.-EdWard Clark,
| Cincinnati business agent OF the iron
workers, changed his plea from not
guilty to guilty, when the dynamite
conspiracy trial was resumed.
When court opened spectators saw
Clark take a seat beside Marshal
Schmidt, at the right of Judge Ander-
son, instead of sitting with his fell
| lows, and there was an air of tense
expectancy among the defendants
"a defendant who has pleaded not
guilty" District Attorney Miller said.
Let him stand up" ordered Judge
Anderson.
With his hands convulsively clasp
ing and unclasping, Clark, gray
haired up, the target for scowls and
mutterings of the other defendants.
Makes Plea in a Whisper
How do you plead?" the court de-
manded Guilty" said Clark in
trembling whisper.
Sentence was deferred, and Clark
joined McManigal in the marshal's of
flee, leaving AZ defendants in the
courtroom.
Clark's action came as a complete
surprise to the defense, and Miller
smiled toward the defense's counsel
table with distinct air of having
| put one over"
The defense's attorneys were posi-
| tive that Clarks change of front was
not brought about by Millers denun-
citation of Hockin as a double-crosser,
but was the result of the district at
| torney's strong arraignment of Clark
himself. Miller told a circumstantial
story of Clark's leadership in II dyna-
mite explosions in and about Cleve-
land. He also said that Clark, single
| handed, blew up a bridge at Day
| ton, o.
Initials on an Umbrella.
| On that occasion an umbrella with
sc. c." on it's handle was found after
| the explosion. 1t was said 1t was
Clark's umbrella, and had been put
over the dynamite to protect it from
rain.
Clark surrender has caused such
fiutter among the defendants that
little attention was paid to Miller
when he continued his opening state
ment. The government predicted that
others of the iron workers would fol-
low Clark's example. Counsel for the
defense, however, were positive that
there would be no more pleas of
guilty.
Miller Denounces Clark.
Miller began his speech with the
Los Angeles Times explosion and
James B. McNamara's story in Salt
Lake City, then worked around to
Clark of Cincinnati. The district at
torney clearly left the inference that
Clark's action was due wholly to
Hockin's double-crossing of Clark.
"The executive council set apart
5000 as the regular price for dynamite
Jobs" Miller said, "and this double
dealer, Hockin, drawing the 5000 from
the treasury, paid Clark only s122.50."
Miller told in detail of the Les An
geles affair, denouncing James B. Nc
Namara as zone of the bloodiest MUIR
derers in history"
without the slightest reason or ex-
cuse, this man destroyed thousands of
dollars worth Of property and 221 in
nocent lives" Miller thundered, bang
ing hio fist on the counsel table.
The district attorney told of the al
legged dynamitings In Salt Lake City,
and then jumped to the Pittsburg
"j6bs."

The tichu itself is of the usual drap-

the shoulders and trimmed with
dainty lace frllls. The inner edge is
also of lace. Along the middle of the
dchu following its longest line is

Reviews Recommendation.

thelcsS yields little moro than 8 per
cent OF the postal revenues
Reviews Recommendation.
The recommendations of the commits
sion rs TO the postage rates on second
class mail are as follows:
First.-The rate OF cents a pound on
copies mailed by publishers to subscribers.
to news agenss and as sample copies and
by news agents to their subscribers or to
other news agents.
Second.-Thc rate of I cent for each four
ounces for copies mailed by other than
publishers and news agents-that is. the
present transient rate.
Thrd.-The present free i'm county privi-
lege retained. but not extended
The commission also recommended
that the cent a copy rate for newspa-
pers other than weeklies and for peri
odicals not exceeding two ounces in
weight and the 2 cent a copy rate for
periodicals exceeding two ounces in
weight. when mailed at a city letter
carrier office for local delivery, be
abolished.
AS to the effect and adequacy OF tho
proposed increase of cent pound in
postage the commission says:
Such an increase will not. in the opinion
OF the commission. bring distress upon tho
publishers OF newspap pers and periodicals
or seriously interfere with the dissemina-
tion OF useful news or information \
reasonable time should be allowed. after
the rate is fixed. before II is put into
effect. While the new rate will be far
from compensating the government for
the carriage and handling of second class
matter. II will to some extent relieve the
existing burden and result in a more
equitable adjustment of rates.
Suggests a Cost System.
The commission suggests that the
department maintain an adequate
cost system. so that the effect of the
new rates may be closely observed and
a proper basis may be secured for the
consideration of any future proposals. &c
In these recommendations the post
master general and | heartily concur
and commend them to the early atten-
ton of congress. The proposed in
crease of cent pound in the second
class postage rate I believe to be
most reasonable. and II sufficient time
is allowed before the change goes into
effect it should work little serious in
jury to the business OF the periodical
publishers, while equalizing. at least
in a measure. the burdens of postal
taxation. WILLIAM II. TAFT

THE COMMISSIONS REPORT.
Recommendations Made Concerning
Second Class Mail Matter

The repor of the commission on sec.
ond class mail matter is an exhaustive
document, containing a hundred pages
of printed matter
The commission. in addition to MAX
ing the recommendations mentioned
in the presidents message, also gives
many statistics showing the relative
amounts OF he different classes of mail
matter ban lied by the postofIice de.
partment AID the cost in detail.
The cost and methods of handling
mail on railway cars are also carefully
considered
The report says in part:
The existing rates on second class
matter are those established by the act
Of 1879 as amended in 1854 and 1855.
Increase In Volume.
Our attention has been directed 10
the fact that the postmasters general
in their annual reports have repeatedly
com meuted upon the increase in the
volume of second class matter aud
upon the disparity between the sup
posed cost Of Transporting and han
ding il in the mails and the amount
received as postage. Their estimates
evidently reflected the opinion of the
officers of the department, but they
were based upon general experience in
the service and not upon scientific
ascertainment Of cost.
The first question that arises in re-
gard to the rate is whether any dis
elimination, should be made between
different kinds of second class matter.
The plan proposed OF charging Il special
rate for the portions OF magazines de-
voted to advertisements seems open to
grave practical objections. The amount
of space given to advertising is no cri-
teriOn of the educational value of a
magazine. and if the same provision
We're applied to newspapers the at
tempt to measure the space occupied
by advertisements would involve more
labor than is consistent with the rapid
dispatch Of the daily press.
We conclude that whatever increase
be made should apply alike TO newSpa-
pers aud periodicals admitted to the
second class and that II is imprac-
ticablP in the case of newspapers to
charge higher rate for space given t0
advertisements. II has been suggested
that the proportion of this space should
be limited for all second class matter.
but the true definition Of such matter
is that which is devoted primarily to
the dissemination OF news and of cur
rent literature end instruction, and we
are not convinced that this can be
measured by an arbitrary standard OF
the proportion Of space given to adver-
tisement.
A Serious Question.

A Serious Question.

The question Of raising the rate on
second class matter mailed by publish
ers and news agents from I cent to
cents pound is q serious one. But
we are of opinion that the change Is
reasonable and should he made. A
reasonable time should he allowed
after the rNte is fixed before It is put
into effect. While the new rate will he
very far from compensating the gov
ernnent for the carriage and handling
OF sccoad class matter. II will to some
extent "e'iere the existing burden and
