a decided hit. Their harmony num-

some time in February. 1912. that he
was suspected Of completely in the
planting Of dynamite in Lawrence to
discredit the strikers. and that a war
rant was to be issued for his arrest.
was the chief development at today's
session Of the dynamite conspiracy trial.
This information was elected by Dis
trict Attorney Pelletier from Fred N.
Chandler, Lawrence police Judge.
Chandler was q member Of q committee
that went to Woods house to try and
arrange a conference to settle the
strike. Wood, he said, categorically de-
MED all knowledge of all dynamite. and
insisted that he did not believe he
would recognize dynamite X he saw II,
but did not seem troubled by the in
formation that he might be arrested.
The session today was marked by de-
cided ill-feeling and numerous clashes
between the attorneys. Prosecutor
Pelletier has directly charged that the
defense has spirited out OF the State
one Of his most important witnesses.
The missing man, according to Pei
letter, was second chauffeur for Wood.
Pelletier sought through certain Of
Woods servants today to locate the
missing man or to get into the records
a description Of him SO that he might
call witnesses to testify that a man of
this description drove the car in which
Pittman rode on January 10, 1872 He

Thought Less Serious.

The last Of the United States MILL

morrow. The Navy Department has
directed the United States steamer
Prairie to take on board Companies
A. C, F, g. I. L, and NJ OF the expedi-
tionary force Of marines at that place
for passage to the navy yard at

At the time the marines were sent
to Cuba II was explained that 1t was
purely a training trip. to which no
Significance attached, but It was be-
lieved at the time that the marines
were sent south for the moral effect"
on the Mexican revolution. The fact
that they are now to be brought home
Is taken as an evidence that the Ad.

WILSON FOR DIRECT
ELECTION Of CHIEF
Outlines Position on Matter to
Congressman Britton Of ILL
nois, Who introduced Bill.

President Wilson has extended his
support OF the primary principle to In
clude the direct nomination and cleo
tion of Presidents by plurality vote Of
the people The President outlined his
position to Congressman Britton Of
Illinois, who called to explain his bill.
now pending in the House. which pro-
vides for direct elections.
The Britton bill Is revolutionary. in
that it provides for the abolishing Of
national conventions for the nomination
of candidates. The language of the bill
is that the President and Vice Presi-
dent shall be nominated directly. with
out the Intervention Of delegates or
conventions, at primary elections
Congressman Britton said he did not
discuss With Mr.. Wilson the question
OF six-year\ terms for President. which
is part Of the bill. This is in contra
vention to the provisions of the Balti-
more platform. which called for a sin
gle four-year term for Presidents.
The President was declared to have
given his approval to the principle Of
the Britton bill, without specifically dis
to his record as showing that he fav-
ored direct elections. as well as the
short ballot, also made possible through
the Britton bill.
The President did not tell Mr.. Britton
that he would use his influence to OBJ
tain the passage Of the measure, but
the Illinois Congressman was encour-
nged by the support given by the Presi-
dent to the principles outlined In the
measure.
The Britton bill also does away with
the electoral college by providingAthat
the President and Vice President shall
be elected by the plurality vote cast ut
the general election, returns Of which
shall be made to the Secretary OF State.
No mention Is made Of the abolishing
OF conventions. but the nomination Of
candidates would be taken out Of the
hands of such conventions, and there
would be practically nothing left but
