DYNAMITE WAS
!. ON PASSENGER
TRAIN USUALLY
Government, in Reply to
Showing By Dynamite
Conspirators for Appeal,
Reveals Some Rather
Amazing Allegations
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.


Chicago, Oct. 31.-In answer to the
courts request that the government
show proof that the dynamiters con-
victed in the Mcnamara plots speci-
hcalIy intended and did carry ex-
plosives on passenger trains, District
Attorney Miller today argued before
the court OF appeals that in every in.
stance in which details of a dynamit-
Ing had been shown, the dynamite had
been carried interstate on a passen-
ger train.
The record showed at least fifty such
instances, he said, and there was no
evidence of any explosion, dynamite for
swhicla had lasen transp orted in any
other manner. The government based
its case on seventeen transportations
of nitro giycerine and eight of dyna-
mite, he said, and all these offenses
occurred within a year.
The labor union officials. who now
seek a reversal of their convictions
were found guilty only on evidence of
their violating interstate regulations of
the transportation of explosives for the
destruction of life and property, Mr..
Miller told the court. He said the de-
tails of the explosion were gone into
only to show that the iron workers had
a motive to destroy "open shop" con-
tractors.

Waukesha, Wis, Oct. 2S.-Eugene
w .Chafin one of the most prominent
prohibitionalists in the country, and
twice the nominee of his party for
president of the United states, in
Waukesha the other day to renew cd
acquaintances, smiled when he hap
pened to pass a saloon on one of the
city's main streets. At the entrance,
in bold-face letters are the words. ''E.
w. Chain, Law ONCE"
Nearly a score of years ago Mr..
Chain practiced law in this city with
offices just above the postoffice' When
he left the city his quarters were oc-
cupied by a photographer who placed
large photo display case over the
Chain sign.
A few years later the postofice was
moved and the first floor Of the build
ing was transformed into a saloon. A
few days ago the photographer moved
his display case and the Chain sign
now occupies a conspicuous place at
the main entrance to the saloon.

TOTAL RECEIPTS AT
THE GATE So, 1865
Secretary and Manager Lii
lard Pleased at the Last
Days Attendance as Well
as the Successful Termin-
alton of the Big Event
Closing Day A Lively One
On the Grounds.

Almost three thousand people paid
to enter the gates at the Pensacola
Interstate Fair yesterday, which was
the last day, and the closing day was
decidedly the best one OF the entire
week
Besides the number who paid their
admission there were a large number
entering the grounds on compliment
tary, concession, exhibitors, helpers
and stockholders tickets so that the
total number of people at the fair dur
ing the day was a great deal more
than three thousand.
The actual number of paid admis-
sions for the day was 2,715 which es-
tablishes a new record, not only for the
1913 fair, but for all fairs held in
Pensacola, and beats the next highest
day during this fair by more than a
thousand.
Yesterday was Farmers and Chill
dren's Day and the public schools
throughout the entire country were
closed for the day, which gave all the
children an opportunity TO attend and
added greatly to the attendance.
All of the shows and concession did
a good business during the day ano
until closing time last night. SO that
the day was by far the best of the fair
in every respect.
Much interest was taken in every
event on the splendid program which
had been arranged for the day and
large crowds witnessed the free at
fractions. which occurred according to
the, usual schedule
FAIR WAS A SUCCESS.
While a number of things have &C.
CURED to interfere and cut down the
attendance for the fair this year. It
is the opinion of the directors and
stockholders that it was a decided
success and the best one that has ever
been held by the association.
The total number of paid admls-
sions during the fair was 1855, but
as stated, every day there were about
as many entering the gates on other
kinds of tickets as there were of those
who paid at the gates.
The total amount of money taken
in at the gates during the fair was
ss,496.65. This does not include the
sale of tickets for seats in the grand
stand during the races and other
events occurring there.
The crowd attending yesterday was
a lively one and everybody seemed
loath to leave the grounds at closing
time, Notwithstanding the fact that
fair had been in progress for nine
days and that many of them had been
almost every day.
Before midnight, however, the
grounds were practically abandoned,
except by the concession and show
people and the exhibitors, who were
tearing down and beginning TO haul
heir stuff out.
Secretary and General Manager n.
J. Lillard expressed himself as very
much gratified at the splendid day ex-
perienced yesterday, as well as at the
success of the fair as a whole.
Elsewhere will be found a statement,
showing the attendance and gate re-
ceipts day by day, as well as the
total.
