THE DYNAM|T|NG
CASE IS READY
Prosecution Ready to Pro
ceed With Its Case at
This Time

Indianapolis. Ind, Feb. 21.-Dis-
trict Attorney Charles w. Miller re-
ceived kilograms from many cities to-
day that most of the tifty-four labor
union officials and business agents in
dicted in the dynamite conspiracy
cases would come to Indianapolis for
their arraignment here on March IL
without protest. Mr.. Miller said only
Il few of the defendants had indicated
their intention to fight removal to this
district.
Henry W. Legleitner Denver, Colo,
former member of the executive
board of the International Association
of Bridge and Structural Iron Work.
ers, arrived here today and was re-
leased on bond. In the thirty-tw
indictments he is charged with abet-
ting the McNamaras and Ortie Nc
Manisal in violating the federal law
prohibiting the carrying of dynamite
and nitroglycerine on passenger trains.
He also is charged with appearing
at the iron workers headquarters here
at one with suit case designed for
and i'll which nitroelycerine was car
ried from Pittsburg."
Legleitner who declined to COM
ment on his case. conferred later with
Frank NJ. Ryan, president of the iron
workers union and with counsel con-
cernlng the plans for defense.
That the government is ready to
proceed with the trials was indicated
by Mr. Miller.
"We could go right on with the
trials Immediately after the men are
arraigned," he said. so much evil
dence has been collected and put in
shape that 1t will require no more
preparation on our part. The eues-
ton whether the defendants are to be
tried individually, singly or in groups
lies in the discretion of the court
and not with the defendants. 1t is
hardly likely much delay will be al
lowed between arraignment and the
opening of the trials.

COAL FAMINE
IS THREATENED
ENGLAND Faces Grave Crisis
Because of Possible Coal
Strike

London. Feb. o1.-The conditions
throughout Great Britain, particularly
in the manufacturing districts in the
north of England. are becoming rapid
ly worse as the result of the threat
ened coal strike. which. ii 1t takes
place at the end of the month, will
throw 100000 miners. besides the
workers in other trades. out of work.
AT many of the iron works and
other big factories. the men today re-
ceived notice from the employers that
their services would not be required
after February 20. should the coal
strike he decided on. Most of the
factories have supplies of coal s,f-
ticient only for the more urgent work
in hand. In London and other cities
the price of coal already has reached
IS a ton and the poorer classes of
people are paying almost double this
rate. since they purchase only in small
quantities.
ference today to consider the situation
in the trade and also to discuss the
invitation of Premier Asquith, who
has requested them to meet him and
some of his colleagues at the foreign
office tomorrow to cndeavor to ar
range basis for settlement.
The International Miners Fedora
ton is also meeting today to decide
whether the continental coal miners
will support their comrades in the
event Of a strike.
The premier stated that the gov
ernment hopes means will be found
by direct negotiations between the
parties concerned to avert the disaster
of a. national stoppage. but the pros
poets that this will be achieved before
the miners notices of cessation OF
work expire on March are SD small
that the government felt compelled
to intervene.
There is no need for me to enlarge
upon the very serious consequences,
both to the industries of the country
and to all classes of coal consumers.
which inevitably would follow an ex-
tensive stoppage Of the coal trade, u
adds the premier. eff prolonged it
would involve general stoppage of
industry and his najestys govern
ment feel. that they could not allow
such a calamity to ensue without
making every endeavor to aid in pre-
| venting 1t"

PARTY UNITED IN
ITS OPPOSITION
Underwood Chemical Tar
Bill Opposed by All Fac
tions in House

Washington. Feb. 21.-For the first
time since the insurgent Republicans
broke away from the regulars in the
fight on the petroleum duty III the
Payne tariff bill in 1909. the Republi-
can house today presented a practi-
cally solid front against the passage of
a tariff revision bill. All the insur-
gents voted with the regular Republi-
cans against the Underwood chemical
tariff. which passed, however, 17S to
127.
With the chemical bill another
Democratic tariff measure is added to
the senate calendar, The steel bill is
pending in the senate where only g.
coalition of progressive Republicans
and Democrats. can pass it, The ILL
ness of Senator LaFollette has inter-
fered seriously with the formulation
of policy by the progressive Repub-
lican senators, who hold the balance
OF the power and SO far there have
been no real overtures between them
and the Democratic leaders.

Houston. Tex, Feb. 21.-Impelled
by fierce gale from the north, fire
ran rampant through the eastern sec
ton of the city today. destroying
property valued at several millions of
dollars and rendering homeless more
than 1000 persons.
Several large manufacturing plants
were burned. scores of homes razed by
the flames. and many lumber yards,
cotton warehouses and congresses
were wiped out. No less than twen-
ty-hve city blocks are in ashes.
the losses conservatively estimated
alone represents loss OF $5,0O0,OOO.
The greater part OF the loss is con-
hned to the lumber and cotton indus
tries. Forty-tive thousand bales Of
cotton stored in the warehouses and
are from $6,00O.O00 to $4,000, 900.
The fire started IL. a cottage near
the Southern Pacific railroad tracks a
little while after midnight. Its origin
has not been definitely established. A
roaring wind picked up the flames and
hurled them to the neighboring cot
tages. In fash these structures
ignited. Selling these. the wind car
ried the embers many blocks. Within
great area and many small homes
were afire.
The fire spread rapidly to the manu-
featuring plants near the cottages and
the boarding houses in which many
workmen lived. The flames spread so
rapidly the firemen for time aban-
doned all attempts to check the flames
and devoted their energies to warning
the householders. A possible loss Of
life thus was averted.
At the big manufacturing plants,
the city firemen and volunteers had
organized to fight the onrushing
flames. The walls and roofs were wa
tersoaked. These were quickly licked
up by the advance guard Of sparks
and when the great columns Of roar
ing flames reached the factories. the
structures succumbed with less re-
sistance than the rows Of cottages.
An hour after the fire began it's ad-
vance. the firemen organized for a
final stand at Buffalo bayou. a small
stream. which II passed by flames,
meant the destruction of the city.
