That his innocence OF the crime
charged against him will be quickly
proven, is the statement of attorneys
for William NJ. Wood, president OF
the American Woolen company, who
is now on trial in Boston for con-
spiracy to plant dynamite. The spe-
cific charge against Wood is that dur

officials of the American Wooden com
pany conspired TO plant dynamite with
intent to injure.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH l

WASHINGTON. March 2-With the adjournment of congress Tues day noon. the end will be written to two years of epoch-making strug gle within party ranks; and to three sessions of effort, only partially sue cessful. to adjust the differences be- tween a Democratic house. d senate under Democratic Progressive con trol. and a Republican president.

 end Activities of the short sessior now closing have been limited al most entirely to routine work, be
 cause of the determination to leav
