UNDERWOOD WILL
 DISCUSS TARIFF Will Confer With President Elect at Trenton Next
 Tuesday.
TO RUSH REVISION5
Friends Say Floor Leader Would Rath. er Complete Tarin Work That
 Be in Cabinet.

Wash ugton, Dee. 26.-Chairman Oscar w. Underwood, of the House Democratic leader on the floor of the House, will go to Trenton on Tues day o confer with President t-elect Wilson on the tariff and other leg1s- lation proposed by the Democrats and the date for convenlng congress in spec al session.
 MT. Underwood, like Speaker Clark, and other influential Dsmocrats, fSvors the opening of 3he session abou March 15, instead of one month later, as suggested by Cover nor Wilson in his announcement that he would call the extra session. It is proposed to rush rev sions of The tar- if so that uncertainty among busi- ness m3n as to the changes may be relieved and business nterfered with as little as possible Nr. Underwood will have his tar if bills ready by March l5 and expects his health to be so improved that he will be able to direct the fight for their enactment.
 Repeated rumors that Mr. Under wood is to take a cabinet position have followed exaggerated stories E, that his health has become impaired to such an extent that he will have to give up the duties as chairman off the ways and means comm ttse and the floor leadership. But Mfr. Un- derwood has been attending for sev- eral days to his committee work pre- liminary to the opening of the hearing on the tariff January 6, and close friends of the SoWrherner say that he would prefer remain ng in the house to complete his tariff work than 10 accept any portfolio that Governor Wilson might offer him.
 He and MT. Clark have built up in the House an organization that W II enable them to push through tarfh legislation with little difficulty

 He instructed the jury not to con sider the failure of the nine defend- ants to testify in their own behalf, nor draw any inference to their pre- judice from such omiss on.
 Judge Anderson also instructed the jury to disregard the testimony of William J. Burns, the detective, de- taillng conversation With the de- fendant; Herbert s. Hockin, in which he made statements to Hockin about defendant Tweitmoe having peni- tentiary record. He Instructed the jury to consider the testimony of character witnesses introduced by the defendant.
 In closing, District Attorney Miller said '"This damnable consp racy is the real crime of the century and, gentlemen, the destruction of the Times building and the murder of .';'wenty-one innocent workmen as we'll designed the crime as the crime of crimes.

WILSON ILLNESS WAS EXAGGERATED Received Visitors in His Bed Room to Avoid Elk
 posture.
DISCUSSED CURRENCY
Secret Service Men Who Will AccOm- any Governor to Birthday Celebra-
 tion a Native of StanntOn,

Trenton, N. J., Dec. 26--Presi- dent-elec; Wilson has practically re- covered ion gAt from the slight cold contracted on his automobile trip to and from Trenton on Tuesday, al though he rem ined in bed all day and received his visitors in his bed "oom. He and Mrs. w lson will leave Princeton for Stanton, Va., the governcr's Dir hplace. at 10:30 to- morrow morning.
 Mrs. Wilson said that the gover- nor had been somewhat annoyed at the exaggerated account of his ill., ness published today.
 Governor Wilson said he felt we'll enough this morn ng to go 70 Trenton where he had an engagement with Congressman Carter Glass, of Lynch burg, Va, chairman of the committee on banking and currency, which h. charge of the drafting of new cur rency legislation, and Dr. H. Parker Willis, nance expert of the New York Journal of Commerce. Wilson's doctor advised against this unneces- sary exposure. however, and tie vls- itors were asked to come to Prince ton. They arrived shortly after o'clock and remained With the gov ernor until 4:30. Governor Wilson sat up in bed and discussed currency reform with them. Representative Glass said afterwards
 We discussed some of the salient features of currency reform. You can say for me that all the bills reported the newspapers purporting to be drafted before my committee have been dreams. We will not take the subject under consideration officially until January ', when we begin a series of hearings to which cur rency experts from all over the coun- try have been invited. The president elect is full of ideas on currency re- form. He has more ideas, and ex- presses them more dicisively and clearly than any man I have ever met''
 Mir. Glass said the governor had agreed to give out statement oil the subject of currency reform later.
 It is a practical certainty that Company L of the Second Reg ment of New Jersey, will be the personal escort of President-elect Wilson at the inauguration. This is an honor sought for by all the crack compan- ies of the country. Company l. has 56 members, most of whom are Princetonians and neighbors of Gov ernor Wilson. Many of them are Princeton graduates.
 Governors Wilson's visit to Staun- ton will bring joy to the hearts Of Richard H. Taylor, the secret ser vice man who has been with him since h's election. Taylor was also born in Staunton. He left there when a youth and went to sea. Taylor is distinguished in the government ser vice. He has a medal voted to him by congress for saving United States man-of-war in the typhoon that sunk so many ships at Samoa in 1898. Taylor was then student Of navigation.

DYNAMITE CASE
 IN JURYS HANDS Judge Anderson Gave In structions After Prosecu-
 tion Closed Address.
MEN ARE SATISFIED
Jmrist is Praised For Fairness Yer diet May Come This
 Morning.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dee. 26.-In- struc ed by Judge Albert B. Anderson to receive the test mony of Artie T. McManigal and Edward Clark, con- fessed dynamiters and co-conspraiors in the dynamite case, with caution and to scru;inize it " tn care, the jury retired, to consider the VerdicH of the forty defendants on trial at 5:0o D. m. today.
 Judge Anderson required but forty five minu,es in wh oh to deliver his instructions. He began st the con- clusion of District Attorney Miller's closing argument, which ended at 1 D. m. M Her talked fourteen hours in all.
 There was grand rush for Judge Andarson's private chamber a, the conclusion of his instructions by both counsel fo rthe defense and presecu- tion and prominent persons present at the trial to congratulate the jurisb on the fairness and clearness of s instructions.
 Many defendants expressed satis- faction over the instructions, as did head counsel for the defense. After the customary words to the jury on its duty, Judge Anderson said:
 This Indictment is against fifty four defendants. The present trial, however, does not, and your verdict will not include the defendants, John J. McNamara, John J. McCray, James B. McNamara, Ortie E. Me- Manigal, Edward Clark and nine others who have either been dismiss ed or are nos on tr al here."
 He then read the names of the porty defendants against whom verdicts may be returned, after which he in- structed the jurors as to the statute of the United States on conspiracy and the 'transportat on of explosives on passenger vehicles engaged in in terstia,oe traff c.
 "A conspiracy is formed when two or more persons agree to do an un- lawful act" said Judge Anderson. And the offense is complete when one or more parties SO agree to- gether does any act to affect the ob- ject of the conspiracy. To constitute a conspiracy it is suffic' ent if two through any con;riwance come to a mutual understanding to accomplish the common and unlawful act. Where 1 an unlawful end is sought to be af- feched and two or more persons actuated by common purpose of ac- complaining that end, work together n furtherance of the unlawful scheme, such persons become con- spiratOrs, although the part which any one of them is to take in the l! conspiracy as a subordinate one, or is to be executed at a remote desti- nation.
 He said conspiracy IS rarely prov ed by positive testimony because a combination of individuals do not act openly, and their gu It can be proved only by circumstantial evidence. He also instructed the jury not to con- sider the act or declaration of in- dividual defendant as affecting any other defendant, unless 1t finds from the evidence the existence of such conspiracy, that such other defend ant was member thereof

CONFERENCE ON
 BOND AMENDMENT Former Call for Convention Will Be Issued By Mayor
 Taylor in Few Days.
LEGISLATORS TO ACT
Opinion Now FayOrS This Mode of Submitting Measure. as People
 Have Endorsed Bond Issue.

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 26.-Within few days a formal call will be is- sued by Mayor Charles E. Taylor of Little Rock for a meeting of all Ark ansas mayors, city attorneys and all dermen, as we'll as others interested in municipal improvement and city affairs generally, to be held at the Little Rock city hall Wednesday, Jan uary 15.
 The object of the convention will he to discuss matters of vital interest to Arkansas cities, and to see what further steps shall be taken to secure for such cities the right to issue bonds for public improvements.
 The decision to issue a call for a convention of such far-reaching inn portarce was arrived at, following a conference by Mayor Taylor with nu- merous men of affairs here who are interested in the upbuilding of the city, and also following the receipt of a number of letters from mayors of the chief cities of the state, in all of which there was a general sentiment for further action at once
 "The consideration of the bond amendment will be the chief object of the meeting,' said Mayor Taylor, in discussing the proposed call today.
 The people of the state have spoken and have, by a large majority, shown their willingness to aid the cities iby giving them the right to is- sue bonds. By the decision of the Supreme court the bond amendment was lost, not through any demert of it's own, but because of the fact that it did not happen to be one of the first three submitted to the last elec- tion.
 "The sentiment of the people of the state for progress in municipal af- fairs has been thoroughly demonstrat- ed. The only question that remains is how we shall proceed now to se- cure the fruits of this sentiment.
 Look to Legislature.
 ''In the opinion of many said May or Taylor, "the legislature is now the most logical avenue through which the bond amendment may be submitted. The proposed convention of city authorities and others inter- ested in city development which will be held here January 15, will find the opportunity ripe for outlining definite policy. The legislature will meet on January 13 and by the follow ing Wednesday will have been prac- tically organized.
 ''It will he a logical time to discuss the bond amedment in all it's phases, draft measure that fits the situa tion as further developed during the bond amendment campaign. and have this measure submitted through the legislature as one of the constitution al amendments to be voted upon by the people. There can be no reason able objection to this course by the legislature, as the people of the state have already indicated their temper in the matter and have given the is- sue a square endorsement
