Indianapolis, Nov. 27s-Sen. John w.
dynamite conspiracy trial, today
continued his cross examination of
Ortie e. McManigal.
In his direct testimony, McManigat
named fifteen of the defendants as
having helped him directly or Indirect
ly in arranging the explosions. Sena
tor Kern attempted to bring out by
his questions that the defendants met
the dynamiter merely by accident be
cause of their being members of the
iron workers union. In response Nc
Manigal insisted that the proposed
explosions actually were talked of ny
the union in various cities.
" In one instance a defendant was
named by McManigal without having
been seen by him. McManigal said on
returning to Indianapolis after blow
ing up a job at Superior, in August,
1910, J. J. McNamara said: "A letter
of thanks for the dynamiter's visit to
Superior had been received from Fred
Money, business agent at Duluth,
Minn.' ....r..
The suggestions that McManigal in
boldly blowing up jobs about the coun-
try actually was in the employ of the
detectives who followed him were set
up by defense. Mr.. Kern flatly asked
McManigal whether he, while dyna-
miting, was not employed by the Ma
tional Erector's association, an organi-
zation whose "open shop policy was
being opposed by the iron workers.
McManigal denied this,

FARGO WILL Be
AT The Meeting
GATHERING OF THOSE INTEREST
Ed IN THE DISCUSSION OF THE
RED RIVER AS A NAVIGARLE
STREAM TO BE HELD AT GRAND
FORKS, DEC. 5. ..........

A meeting mas been. called for Grand
Forks, Dec. s, at 10 o'clock, at the
commercial club there, by Lieut.. Col
Charles l.. Potter of st. Paul, to which
all interested are invited. The meet
ing Is for the purpose OF determining
what will be done with the Red river
towards making it a navigable stream,
and as there are many interests rep
resented it is expected that there will
be a large attendance.
Fargo will surely be represented
at the meeting" said President Page
Of the commercial club this afternoon,
''but think the matter should receive
the greatest kind of publicity so that
the farmers living along the Red will
all have knowledge of the date of the
meeting, as they are the ones most
interested.
There was a hearing held in this
city some time ago, when many. farm
ers who reside along the river were
present and many of these expressed
themselves as being fearful that If the
river was damned it would cause
floods and in some cases do great dam
age to the farms. / think the matter
is one that is of great Importance and
Fargo will certainly be represented"

Washington, Nov. -. - Interstate
Commerce Commissioner McChOrds has
sent word to the managers of several
large railroads to the effect that unless
they give serious attention TO. safe
guarding passengers, the commission
will urge congress to pass legislation
imposing severe personal penalties.
Among the managers to whom the
message was sent were w. J. Jack
son Of the Eastern Illinois railroad,
and Chas. G.. Mellen of the New York,
New Haven &; Hartford.
Mr.. Jackson is chairman of a com
mittee Of railroad general managers
organized to assure greater safety in
travel and is I'm sympathy with what
Mr.. McChOrd has been trying to &C.
complish by means of the safety ap-
pliance act. He is to urge the rail-
road presidents to busy themselves
with revision and rules for the oper-
alton of trains and TO hurry their
experiments with devices for the auto
matte control of trains.
ON the New Haven, safety is made
dependent on a red or white light
operated in a semi automatic way by
a man paid $40 a month or some such
sum-" says Mr.. McChord. "The
schedules prescribed are not too fast.
The trouble comes when train Is
late. Then the engineman whose
train is scheduled to make sixty miles
an hour speeds up to ninety. and the
chances are that if he comes in on
time some. official will pat him on the
back and commend him. 1t is in this
making up Of lost time that the danger
lies.
Unless the railroads try to i'm
prove conditions, congress undoubt-
edly will"

WOMAN Tells OF
Her ROMANCE

Mandan News: The News has
found a record of socialism proving to
be all shat the dictionary definition
gives, But it brought difficulty and
disappointment to Mrs. Mary Ehlert,
who came west from New York to
marry Fritz Bumburg of this city, and
who rlmor gave that she had become
enamored with another, Herman Hasel
of Butte, oliver county, and was go
ing to become his wife, as related in
the last issue of this paper. This last
mentioned intention Mrs. Ehlert de-
mics and wishes. the lncal publicsato
know that she lis greatly indebted to
Mr. Hssel for his acts of charity and
should be supported by the facts. She
expects TO stay in the west another
week and then will likely so back to
the Bronx. -es ssA @ss,
In her interesting way the princi-
pal in this interesting case told a re-
porter of this paper complete story
of the facts which led up to her, COM
ing west, and also the facts OF her
past life. ....
She is a member of the socialists
local in the city of New York, being
interested in the success of the party
and it's candidates and proved to be well
informed concerning the ,Debs
strength in the metropolis of the
states and other facts concerning So
ClallSTl. sue JllOuBnLr she might 90
something for the party out here, she
said. Bumburg has evidently been a
patron OF socialist literature and he
placed an advertisement in German
paper advocating policies of that po-
litical faith which secured the atten-
tion of the female members of the
club. Mrs. Ehlert desired to come
west and Bumburg's advertisement
was answered, with more letters fol-
lowing, until matrimony was suggest
ed and she would have been willing
provided the conditions surrounding
the Bumburg domicile had been salts

be mistress over proved to be a, dis
appointment, and she accepted the
! charity of Mr., Hasel until she can ar
range to return
In New York Mrs. FIhlert kept a
rooming house since coming from Ger
many one and one-half years ago,
when she lost her husband, who was
a large manufacturer and left her con-
siderable amount OF means.
The lady in question has a good ap-
pearance and is no doubt worthy or
a good home. She was good natured
about the matter and laughed about
the conditions which she could not

COLLIE DOG LEARNS
a#t HOW TO HUSk CORN.

Stanberry, Mo-, Nov. 27.-H. p.
Allen, a farmer, living near here,
is the owner of a Scotch collie dog,
which he values highly because it
is a good corn husker. When the
season opened this year the dog
followed the employees to the field.
With apparent interest he watched
the process of husking. Finally
the animal ran to the stalks and,
standing on his hind feet, grabbed
an ear and broke it off with his
mouth. With teeth and forepaw
he husked the ear and carried it.
to his master ito be thrown into
the wagon. Highly pleased with
his first exertion. the dog repeated
the operation again and again.
The dog is IL years old. This
season Allen claims he has husked
hundreds of. bushels OF corn. and
kept the employees busy holding
their Jobs.

Seoul, Korea, Nov. 27.-The salient
feature of today's sitting of the court
trying 106 Korean prisoners charged
with conspiring against the life Of
Count Terauchi, was the wholesale re-
traction by KimiIiun of the testimony
he had gik'cn at the former trial.
At the time he admitted he desired
war in order to free Korea and that
he desired to kill Governor General
Terauchi and implicated number of
the leaders. 4 :.
Kimiljun calmly asserted today this
was a tissue of lies. In his eXplana-
ton, he said he was insane during the
last trial and had been, driven to make
statements by the rcatment of the
police. At the conclusion of hours of
examination, Kimiljun said he was
sad when the independence of the
country was lost but he believed it to
be for the best because the former
governor was bad. . -..e
Kimiljun had been sentenced at the
first trial to seven years Imprisonment.
Six other "isoners were examined in
the course ~ the day All of them told
the same $%ory, retracting the con-
fession they had made before the
lrocurator and asserting they had
been tortured by the police.

he came from Peeksllille. The shoot
ing caused panic among the occu-

no connection between the killing
and the recent police scandal in
which Zelig figured pronsnently, his
arrest for carrying concealed wea-
pons he alleging two of Lieutenant
Becker's gunmen planted pistol on
him having started the allegations
of grating which were later taken
up by Herman Rosenthal.
Zelig, it has been alleged, furnish
ed the four men to "Bald Jack" Rose
and 4Bridgie'' Weber who murdered
Rosenthal.
According to Davidson, who the
police allege admitted the killing, he
came here from Peekskill few
days ago He wandered into the
South Avenue place, where Zelig
hangs out and met the gang-leader

held him up and blackjacked him
