SECRETARY KNOX
 SPEAKS IN SEATTLE
Defends the Administration of President
 Taft

Seattle, Wash, October 14.-Secretary of State Knox, recently returned from Japan, where he attended the funeral of the late emperor, jumped Into the cam paign here tonight when he addressed a republican mass meeting. Mir. Knox will make at least one other speech on the coast before returning to Washing ton
 The secretary defended President Taft's administration and denounced methods of Colonel Roosevelt.
 "It has been we'll and truly said, the reckless who use the words whose sound is greater than their sense, has brought more misery and bloodshed upon the world than the worst crime punishable by law he said "On the sixth of August. 1912, Theodore Roosevelt In his speech before the progressive convention said the republican party was a husk with no real kernel, boss-ridden and privilege controlled. tumble of incongruous ee- fearlessly what should be said of the vital issue of the day.
 This is terrific indictment. and 1t is important to know whether 1t is truth or talk
 Does Mr Roosevelt mean that under Lincoln, Grant, Harrison and Mckinley the party was a husk and had no soul? Does he mean that during his own lead ership of seven years such was it's bar ren condition? I fancy not.
 Docs he mean at the time he surren- dered the office to the man whose nomi- nation he insisted upon, the party had so sadly degenerated? That is unthink- able.
 Secretary Knox enumerated the i'm portant measures enacted by the sixty first congress upon the recommendation of the President and in fulfillment of the party's pledges, and continued: 'I venture to say 1t Is not sc much the sober element of the people, which has fomented unrest and dissatisfaction as is proclaimed in certain minimizing propaganda, lightly formulated, betray- ing now and then along with the honest and sincere convictions of some, a strain of fanaticsm, bitter resentment and self seeking of others"

CAME NEAR LOSING DYNAMITE IN OCEAN Frisco Cafe Owner Testifies
 in Conspiracy Case MYSTERIOUS LAUNCH
Witness Relates Various Names Craft Bore Containing Three Men h. .volved in Dynamite Case.
 Letters Identified

Indianapolis, October 14.-While James B. McNamara and his accomplices were tossing about in launch near San Fran cisco, with the dynamite later used in ex- plosions at Los Angeles, they came near losing the explosives in the ocean
 Paul J. Stuparioh, owner of A cafe seven miles from San Francisco. so testified al the "dynamiting conspiracy trial today. He had told of the first appearance or d gasoline launch near his cafe 10 days be- fore the Los Angeles Times explosion, In which were three men answering the oe' scription of McNamara, F. A. Schmltt and David Caplan, and Of the return ot the launch several times.
 The first timed she hove in." sal Stuparich the launch bore the name Pastime The men came up to my place 10 eat and appeared to be getting the launch ready for some kind of cruise
 When the ycame back later, l noted the launch's name had been changed to Peerles. Later I noticed something about five feet long covered with canvas tip ming at the end of the boat, and while it was turning around yelled, Say, fel- lows, be carefui, or you II iose 'Hne PoSN age It appeared to be tipping into the water They made 1t snug, and that was the last I saw of them"
 Stuparich was called as one Of the Wit nesses by whom the government asserts ii will show a connecting link between the McNamaras and the present defend- ants. who are charged with hauling ex- posives in violation of interstate laws, and with conspiracy. The canvas was declared to be the same as that found later in house which McNamara rented in San Francisco, and in which quan- tity of nltroglycerine was found.
 The testimony of most of today's wit nesses was confined to identifying let ters, the contents of which are to be made known later.
 Mrs Mary Hitchings, a former stenog- rapher for J. J. McNamara, hesitated about answering questions.
 Has anybody been talking to you about your testimony here" asked James w. Noel counsel for the government.
 No" replied Mrs. Hitchings, but since | spoke to the government agents, l talked this over with other witnesses, and we decided to be very cautious in our answers"
