MASS OF EVIDENCE
 IN DYNAMITE CASE
Alarm Clocks, Gumshoes and NitrOglycerin Cars Are
 Placed on Exhibit

Indianapolis, October @.-Alarm clocks. gum shoes, nitroglycerin. tags from dyn- amite packages and wires were produced before the jury at the dynamite con spiracy'' trial today and identified Jy Martin J. Hyland, chief of police of In dianapolis, as having been taken from tho vaults of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers on the night that J. J. McNamara was arrested.
 Photographs of packages of dynamite also were identified by Chief Hyland. All the exhibits which were introduced by the government to sustain its contention that the 45 defendants now on trial are equally guilty with the MeNamara broth CTS and Ortie E. McMangal in causing explosions, were piled in heaps on the floor before the jury.
 Chief Hyland testified that on the night of April %, 1911. when McNamara. sec retary of the union. was arrested, Presi- dent F. Ryan and other defendants were present The witness said Ryan on ad- vice from his attorney had protested against a search of the unions vaults be- fore warrant was procured.
 Out of a vault in the basement of the office building. the witness testified, pack ages containing sticks of dynamite, fuse and other articles were taken.
 T now hand you package. State whether it was taken out of that vault" said James w. Noel special counsel Tor the government.
 Yes it was. It contains IA alarm clocks" replied Chief Hyland The clocks were shown to the jury They are said by the government to be part of those used by the dynamiters in cadsing bombs to explode several hours after they had been "planted,' as was done in blowing tp the Los Angeles Times building.
 Chief Iiyland described how, guided by McManigal secretly held under arrest in Chicago, he drove to a farm four miles west of Indianapolis and there in a barn found nitroglycerin and dynamite packed In sawdust.
 "Did you notice anything particular about the dynamite found in the barn?" Chief Hyland was asked
 Yes; l noticed that the trade mark on each stick had been cut off"
 McNanigal in his confession said that 'J J. McNamara, becoming uneasy over the explosion at Los Angeles and fearing they would capture James B. McNamara, had cut off the trade marks with knife.
 The witness said such anxiety prevailed fin Indianapolis after the discovery of the explosive that to preserve the exhib- it's 1t was necessary to send them to power company outside the city limits.
 Among the other exhibits shown the jury was suitcase referred to by the government as having been especially de- signed to carry a 12 quart can of nitro glycern on passenger trains, and as hay ing been brought by Henry W. Legleit- ner Of Denver. a member of the union executive board from Pittsburg to In- dianapolis.
 The government also charges that at one time in the unions vaults on the fourth floor of the office building quanti- ties of nitroglycerin were stored.

Greatly fatigued, he then stopped work for the day.
 No visitors were received at Saga more Hill today. Colonel Roosevelt agreed with his doctors yesterday that he would do no more talking than was necessary today.
 pr. George w. Taller of oyster Bay, one of his physicians, impressed upon him the necessity of avoiding overeX- ertion If he Is to gain sufficient strength to make his spee5h next week. Colonel Roosevelt declared that he will Uldke tue speech WnelneF or not, HIS physicians fear. however, that if he Is not considerably stronger on Wednes- day, he will become exhausted and will be unable to finish his speech. The ad- dress as he has prepared 1t will re- quire about 25 minutes for delivery.
 There is to be dinner at Sagamore Hill at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, to celebrate the 54th birthday of the head of the house.
 Colonel Roosevelt today sent a tele- gram to Don M. Dickinson of Detroit, who was a member of the Roosevelt cabinet and republican leader in Michigan. MT.

Today Colonel Roose welt heard for the first time of MT. Dickinson's action.
 Your telegram has just been brought to my attention,'' he wired to MT. Dick inson. T am profoundly touched and moved by your support. There is no man in this country whose action could appeal to me more than yours appeals. This Is movement genuinely independ- ent of both of the old parties and one which should appeal to all good citi- zens alike and to the former democrat precisely as to the former republican"

ALL IS QUIET
 IN HAVANA

Havana, october 26-No further po- iitical disturbance has been reported to- night in any part of the island The only change in the political situation was the revocation by President Gomez of his ap- polntment of Colonel Pujol to supreme command Of the national police under the title of supervisor and the substitution of Gen. Pablo Mendieta, commander of the infantry of the regular army.
 Colonel Pujol Is simply a soldier and has no political affiliations. General Mendieta Is reputed to be q pronounced Zayista The conservatives interpret the appointment of General Mendieta to mean that President Gomez Is determined to throw all the strength of the administra- tlon against Gen Mario Menocal for the presidency.
 The Zuysta's say that President Gomez is so keenly sppreciatve of the import- ance of an absolute faction and the preservation of order that he considers that this demands the services of mili- tary officer of the highest rank. Tko change Is expected to be productive of increased bitterness.

 T cannot really say that Governor Will son was my first choice for the nomina- tion." said Governor Harmon, in referring to the democratic nominee, but my de- mocraey is too stanch to be upset by personal disappointment.

 Colonel Roosevelt is greedy for power and brutal to everything and everybody that stands in the way of his getting and using it as he plcases, And the only definite thing he proposes is to put the great private industries of the country, which have no public character, like the railroads, under control of a commission to be appointed by the President This Is the most monstrous proposal ever se- riously made in free country. It would fit no government but an absolute mon archy
