INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Oct 12.-John

in the many years he was secretary
treasurer of the International Asso-
citation Of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers, had many girl stenogrpah-
ers and the first two this afternoon
appeared as witnesses for the govern
ment in the case Of the forty-five men
on trial for the alleged dynamite con-
spiracy. Mcnamara was particular
about his stenographers. He requir-
ed that they be comely, and smart in
appearance, and his office always con-
tanned three or more pretty girls.
This contingent of ex-stenograph-
ers will pass in review before the
dynamite jury and the vanguard this
afternoon We're Miss Clara g. Smith,
of Cleveland. and Mrs. H. A. Hull, of
Omaha, Nebr., Miss Smith was en-
ployed by Mcnamara from February
to July, 1906 while the headquarters
of the iron workers were in Cleve-
land and Mrs. Hull, then unmarried,
was employed during part of 1910
in indianapolis. Both, this afternoon,
were used merely to identity letters
and other documentary exhibits and
to tell of the routine OF Mcnamara s
office, but it was said they later
/ would be recalled to give important
/ testimony. Another of the steno
graphic witnesses will be Miss Mary
Dey. who only recently was found.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-Never be-

rambler, today. Whether true or
false the tale amazed all who listen

there been such climax as marked

gamblers revelations.
For hours, John F. Mcintyre, lead
er Of the bar, wonderful inquisitor,
subjected Rose to fire Of interroga-
tons. Question after question was
fired at the witness and every arti-
flee known to the veteran attorney

seemed due, resented questions aimed

SHIP SANK IN LAKE

L g.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 12-Thirty
men were rescued from their peril
GUS positions on scaffolding over
the water at the water works intake
pier at the entrance to Niagara river
tonight by Captain Hugh Harris and
his crew from the life saving station.
The men were brought to the Lacka-
wanna pier in an exhausted condition.
The sixty-four mile an hour gale
which swept Lake Erie this evening
had loosened the timbers supporting
the frame work of the platform up
on which the men were working. A
huge bonfire was lighted on top of
the concrete pier as a signal to the
lookout at the life saving station. For
almost an hour the life savers battled
with the waves which rolled fifty
feet high outside the breakwater. The
men were put aboard the power life
boat and brought into port.
Pounded to Pieces.

ERIE, Pa. Oct. 12.--The steamer F.

Erie, went down one mile off North
east this afternoon and Captain w j.
Jock and ten others on the big
freighter just escaped with their
lives after one of the hardest fights
ever experienced on the storm-tossed
waters of Lake Erie.
About one o'clock this afternoon,
one Of the seams of the big freighter
parted and the water began to pour
into the vessel. Captain Jock and
his officers realized at once that the
craft was doomed and the command
er ordered all hands to secure life
preservers. There was one woman
on board, Bertha Knopf of Detroit,
stewardess.
The pumps were manned at once
and the captain directed the course
shoreward. With all hands working
the pumps, the fight against the wa
ter began. With the big boat full
speed ahead and about mile off
shore, the captain saw it was futile
and ordered all hands to the boats.
After two hours hard fighting, they
brought the boat to shore. NO sooner
were the men off the craft than the
water reached the boilers causing a
terrific explosion, cutting the boat in
two in the center. The yawl boat
with it's human freight barely missed
