HELPS PROSECUTION
indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 23.-
Rulings of Judge Anderson have
thrown dynamite conspiracy wide
open. Prosecution can now get
in almost any evidence it wants.
Anderson has now decided that
all testimony in regard to explo-
sions of dynamite is proper. The
defense claimed that this was not
proper since the defendants were
only charged with conspiracy to
carry dynamite illegally and not
with causing explosions.
Feature of today's session was
gruelling cross-examination of
Miss Dey, former secretary of
John J. Mcnamara. Miss Dey's
testimony was in regard to secret
fund of ironworkers, which was
dispensed by Mcnamara. {
Hardin's cross examination
showed that defense plan is to
throw whole burden of guilt on
McNamaras and McManigal and
absolve all other members of
union. 5

With the taking over of the Ma
tional Telephone company on Jan. 1,
the government became the owner
Of practically all of the telephone IA
cilities of the British isles.
The property Of the company be-
comes the possession of the state
and the $4,000 employees join the
ranks Of the civil servants Of the
kingdom. Generally speaking, the
officials and employees of the COM
pany are not pleased with the change
as they feel that 1t will initiate
against their chance of advancement.
Now that the government is in SUI
preme control of the telephone facil-
tiles of the country, 1t is expected
that efforts will be made to extend
it greatly, especially in the rural
districts, where the telephone is al
most unknown. Even in London the
telephone directory is no larger than
those of several cities of the United
States with population of less than
100000.
