ADMITS HE PLANTED"
DYNAMITE At LAWRENCE
Collins, One of Three Accused Of
Conspiracy, Tells of Dis
tributing Explosive.
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS
Witness Makes Only Casual
Reference to President Wood
of American Wooden Co
Doesn't Mention Atteaux.

Boston. May 2O.--An attempt TO prove
that Representatives Of capital entered into
a compact TO dscredit organized labor
was made i'm the Superior Court to-day
when William NJ. Wood. president Of the
American Wooden COMPANY Frederick +.
Atteaux and Dennis J. Collins were placed
ON trial for conspiracy to plant" dyna-
mite AT Lawrence during the textile strike
OF 1917.
Collins testified as 2 witness for the
prosecution. and confessed a part in the
alleged plot. although insisting that he
was unaware at the time that he was
handling dynamite. lie admitted that he
did not expect 10 receive a Jail sentence
il he told the truth on the stand. The
defence will contend that neither Mr..
Wood nor Mr.. AtteauX had any connection
with the conspiracy.
Collins told Of distributing dynamite at
different buildings occupied by striking
textile operatives i'm Lawrence. but made
only casual reference to Mr.. Wood, and
id not mention Mr. AtteauX's name. lie
said that at the request of John J. Breen,
who was mRnber Of the Lawrence
School Board. he carried package of
dynamite from Boston to Lawrence and
at Breen's direction distributed smaller
packages of the explosive at various places
where the strikers Congregated. Breen
has already been convicted and fined for
actually planting" the dynamite
Only Reference to Wscd.
The reference 70 Mr.. Wood came when
the witness was telling of a conversation
between Brcen and himself. when Breen
announced that he would be the next
Mayor Of Lawrence and that "a million
was back of him. Collins said he asked
Breen what he meant and Breen replied
with the query: Don't you know Pres
ident Wood, of the American Wooden
Company" Collins said he did not. and
Breen told him. he said that he would
know the joke later.
No other mention Of Mr.. Woods name
was made by Breen, according TO Collins.
but under persistent questioning by the
District Attorney the witness admitted
that he had told the Prosecutor last Fri
day that Breen had said: Mr.. Wood and
several other millionaires were back of
him, and he would be the next Mayor Of
Lawrence.
Collins declared that Breen never told
him what the packages contained. II
never would have had anything TO do
with the matter II l had known dyna-
mite was in the bundles he said. He
could not give any reason why Breen,
a friend of fifteen years standing, should
involve him in such case.
His counsel had told him, Collins adj
mitted. that If he told the truth for the
government the District Attorney would
not send him to Jail.

Spike got loose in the subway yes
terday, frightened the wits .out OF a
trainload OF passengers. led crowd or
several hundred persons a chase

Chanoed the Map Of Florida.

The State of Florida owes to Henry NJ.
F7agler more than TO any other man the
rapid development that II has enjoyed
since the latter part OF the last century.
A few Northerners seeking relief from
the rigors Of winter had gone there from
time 10 time after the close OF the civil
War. and there were a few small hotels.
In the late SOS Flagler saw that the
country could be developed. and he set
about 90 do H. lie built at ST. Augustine
the Ponce de Leon and the Alcazar
hotels and increased the railroad facili-
ties. The new hotels were then considered
the finest IN the world. and since they
were opened there have been few to excel
them, even in the great cities. He built
other hotels and the F'loriGa East Coast
Railroad, and finally constructed the en-
tension Of that railroad from the main
land over the keys to Key West
Key West, the southern terminal is
the most southern city in the United
States. and by way OF the Florida Keys
is IO6 miles from the mainland. The prof.
ect to construct railroad across these
KEYS was smiled at at first, and it was
not decided upon definitely until after
years OF careful study. Nearly six miles
OF the wonderful railroad Is constructed
on concrete arches that span the deep
water between Long Key and Conch Key.
The completion Of the road brought Ia
yana within ninety miles OF railroad
transportation to any part Of the United
States.
