AND CAPLAN
ROOMED SAME HOUSE
Witness Testi6es to Living In
House With Them---Net
Drawing Closer

Los Angeles, Cal, Dee. 1S.-Although
David Caplan is not ON trial at present
charged with murder in connection with
the dynamiting of the Times building,
Ills name was again brought into NJ. A.
Schmidt IS murder trial today when viii
liam Lawson of San Francisco, who de-
clared he knew both Caplan and his
wife, and that he lived in the same
house with them at 1865 Grove street,
San Francisco, for the month prior to
the Times disaster.
The prosecution has tried repeatedly
to prove that this was where Caplan
lived before the Times building was
blown up, while he and Schmidt were
alleged to be plotting the crime with
J. b. Mcnamara.
Don Stanley, an Alameda boatman
testified he had seen three men in the
launch Peerless" near the Giant Pow
der company wharf on San Francisco
bay in September, 1910, but he was un-
able to identify Schmidt as one of them
This caused satisfaction in the defense
camp.
The web of circumstantial evidence
intending to show that Schmidt was i'm
plicated in bringing the explosive from
Giant to Los Angeles in the Peerless
was added to, however, by Captain
Stephen Russell, commander of Sar
Francisco fire boat. He declared h'
saw a man closely resembling Schmi
in launch near the Giant wharf il
September, 1910.
James Fay and Charles Wolganuth
Of Cotre MADEIRA, near San Francisco
asserted they frequently saw sehmi
in company with Antoine Johannser
there.
Minor testimony was given by Bruce
Mccall Of the Giant Powder company
Charles Wilson, a private detective, and
Samuel L. Brown, an investigator.

Austrian Imbroglio Does
Not Affect Stock Market
Copyright 1915 by the New York
Evening POst.)

Copyright 1915 by the New York
Evening Post.)
New York, Dec. 49, The stock
market closed in the condition of pas
sive inertia which characterized the
week, despite numerous professional
movements. Absence of visible evil
dence of uneasiness over the AncOna
note situation has been the feature of
the week. This calmness has been var
iously ascribed to confidence that Wen
ma will yield at last; to belief that
the general situation would not be al
tered if Ambassador Penfield were re-
called; and to conviction that our
favorable financial situation would
surely counterbalance q possibly ad-
verse influence of the Austrian i'm
broglio.
In the market today there were mar
row fluctuations with hesitant irregu-
larity, though the tone was generally
strong.

Gentlemen
Answering your letter of December
l7th in which you state that you note
from press dispatches that the county
court mas decided to call off competi.
ton for bridge designs and plans, will
state that there is absolutely nothing
to this.
Certain coast bridge concerns have
made an effort to have this done in
order to destroy all competition in de-
signing and constructing the bridge,
and to perpetuate the bridge monopoly
that has existed on the coast. A prop.
osition has been made by these con
Germs to eliminate the highway com
mission from the assisting of the c0un.
ty courts in an advisory capacity, and
TO employ "brain trust, " to draw up
these plans and specifications without
competition, anil also to supervise the
construction.
If this proposition did not come from
the concerns that have had a practical
DfluBe UOuOpOlg OH inc cOhsJ lOI u
long time, and who have so insistently
fought the bridge department Of the
highway commission, in looking after
the interests Of the public in bridge
matters, the matter might not appear
so rank The people Of Marion county
insist on a good bridge and on the full.
est competition, both as to design and
also on the contract, and insist on hav'
ing the matter supervised by disinter'
ested engineers, who are not under the
thumbs of the coast bridge trust.
/ sincerely believe that the viewers
appointed by the court, being response
bic tax payers, are acting in absolute
good faith, and will not consent Ia
any sitting Of competition, as suggest
ed by the reports you mention. The
rumors are, no doubt, circulated to dis
courage engineers from completing
their plans, 30 that there would be nc
competition, but the county court wish
es me to assure all Of them that the
original proposition for competitive de
signs Is still in effect, in spite Of all
efforts on the part of these parties II
get the matter rescinded.
Yours respectfully,
MAX GEHLHAR,
County Clerk Marion County.
