Dynamite Case.
Decision Declares Iron Workers Are
Guilty of Dynamite Outrages and
Sentences Are Upheld.
Men Found In Lifeboat Were Ali Left
of Eleven, Six Drowning Before Help
Could Reach Them.
The Booth line ship Gregory arrived
at New York, bringing five survivors
of the oil tanker Oklahoma, which
buckled and broke in two off Sandy
| Hook lightship early on Sunday morn-
The judgment of the federal court of
Indianapolis, Ind., sentencing to pris-
on thirty members of the International
Association of Structural Iron Work-
ers in the dynamite conspiracy cases
was affirmed by the United States cir- |
cuit court of appeals in Chicago in
twenty-four cases, and reversed in six
cases.
The cases reversed were remanded
to the lower court for retrial. The de-
fendants in these cases are: Olaf A.
Tveitmoe, San Francisco; William Mc-
Cain, Kansas City, Mo.; James E. Ray,
Peoria, Ill.; Richard H. Houlihan, Chi-
cago; . Fred Sherman, Indianapolis;
William Bernhardt, Cincinnati.
The sentence of seven years of pe-
pal servitude against Frank M. Ryan,
Chicago, president of the association,
was affirmed. He was the only one of |
the convicted men in court to hear the
decision.
There were thirty-two convictions
on the charge of conspiracy to trans-
port dynamite illegally. Two of the |
convicted men did not appeal.
No effort will be made by the gov-
ernment to compel the return to pris-
on of the men denied retrial, pending
argument on their petition for a re-
hearing. If this petition is denied they
will appeal to the United States su-
preme court.
In respect to the appeal of
decision reads:
“This plaintiff was president of the
association and its active manager.
Letters written by him at various
stages show his familiarity with the
long course of destroying open shop
structures. Ryan wrote the letter sug-
gesting that reports of expenditures
be discontinued ‘while our trouble is
on.’ He signed all of the checks pre-
sented in evidence as used for the
purchase of explosives. Ryan in his
own testimony confirms the evidence |
of his complicity.”
Concerning Eugene A. Clancy, of
San Francisco, the decision states that !
his conspiring with the McNamaras |
and Herbert S. Hockin, who is serving
his sentence, to blow up the Llewellyn |
Iron Works at Los Angeles, and for |
explosions in the east, is conclusively |
proved. :
Michael J. Young, of Boston, the de-
cision declared, had been proved :
guilty of conspiracy in connection with
explosions in Boston, Springfield, Fall
River and Somerset.
Frank C. Webb, of New York, had
his appeal rejected on the basis of let- |
ters by him and testimony by Ortie
McManigal, whose evidence frequently
was referred to by the court.
J. B. Munsey, of Salt Lake City, is
declared personally to have assisted |
James McNamara in explosions at |
Salt Lake. Peter J. Smith, of Cleve-
land, O., was chiefly implicated on
McManigal’s evidence. Paul T. Mor- |
rin, of St. Louis; William E. Redding, |
of Milwaukee; Michael J. Hannon, of’
Scranton, Pa.; Murray L. Pennell, of
Springfield, I1l., and W. Bert Brown,
of Kansas City, are declared fully im-
‘plicated by McManigal's evidence.
_ The other men refused appeal are:
Edward Smythe, of Peoria, 111 : George
Anderson, of Cleveland; Frank J. Hig-
gins; Frank H. Painter, of Omaha;
Fred J. Mooney, of Duluth, Minn.;
William Shupe, of Chicago, and Mich-
ael J. Cunnane, of Philadelphia.

Slayer’'s Custodians Favor His Release
Under Bonds of Federal Court.
The release on bail of Marry K.
Thaw would not menace public safety.
in the opinion expressed by two of
his custodians at a public hearing
in Concord, N. H., before the com-
mission appointed by the federal court
to pass upon Thaw’s mental condition.
Holman A. Drew, sheriff of Coos
county, and Clark D. Stevens, of the
local police force, who have had Thaw
in charge since September, favored
his admission to bail.
Sheriff Drew said that Thaw had
not shown any tendency towards vio-
lence, and had manifested no ill-tem-

Autos In U. S. Double Since 1911.
The number of automobiles regis
tered in the United States has more
than doubled since 1911. In that

ing.
These men were snatched out of the
sea Sunday afternoon, and to do this
the first, second and third officers of
the Gregory dived over the rail with
their storm clothes on and grabbed
. two of the five as they were floating
past in the heavy sea then running,
grabbed a third who died as he reach-
ed safety, and towed the other three
clinging to their capsized lifeboat
within reach of the life lines.
The five men thus saved, added to
| the eight who will arrive in Boston on
the Hamburg-American liner Bavaria,
make thirteen human beings account-
ed for out of the crew of forty of the
oil tank steamship of the Guif Refin-
ing company which, left New York on
Saturday for Port Arthur, Texas.
Hope that eight more of the Okla-
homa’s crew had escaped in an open
boat was abandoned when a wireless
message was received from the cap-
tain of the United States revenue cut-
ter Seneca to the effect that one of
the sunken vessel's boats had been
picked up with three bodies in it.
The rescued men on the Gregory
told a thrilling story of their experi- |
ence. For six hours after leaving the
Oklahoma in a lifeboat they were
tossed about on the crests of the
waves and the boat time after time
was nearly swamped by the gigantic
sea.
These survivors revealed for the
first time how the disaster actually |
occurred.
The five men were together when a |
terrific wave crashed into the Okla:
homa amidships Sunday morning, |
breaking her back. The after part of
the ship had partially broken away at
a bulkhead and was staggering drunk:
enly in the terrific swell. Other mem-
bers of the crew came running up and |
two lifeboats were swung overboard.
In the first boat were eleven men.
The second boat was full. The boats’
parted, and those in the first boat, |
including the five who were saved, |
worked desperately to keep their craft
from going under. :
Just as the Gregory came in sight
at 1.30 o’clock in the afternoon a wave:
overturned the first boat. It was right:
ed with difficulty, because the men
were nearly perished with cold. A sec
ond and third time waves rolled the
boat over. Six of the men were unable
to cling to the craft and sank to their
death, and the other five were picked
up 2 short time afterward.
When it was seen that the fight was
proving too much for the men Rob: |
erts, Second Officer Williams and
Chief Officer Robert H. Buck tied |
ropes about some of the men. The
into the sea to aid those struggling
in the water. They helped to get
rope sabout some of the men. The
five saved were placed in the ship's
hospital.
Morgan & Co. Quit Big Corporations.
J. P. Morgan & Co. announced in
New York city that they had severed |
their connection with some of the
greatest corporations in the country
with which they have long been cou
nected.
This step, the firm announced, was
taken voluntarily in response to “an
apparent change in public sentiment”
on account of “some of the problems
and criticisms having to do with so
called inter-locking directorates.” |
J. P. Morgan made this statement: |
“The necessity of attending many |
board metings has been so serious 2]
burden upon our time that we have |
long wished to withdraw from the |
directorates of many corporations. |
Most of these directorships we have
accepted with reluctance, and only be
cause we felt constrained to keep in
touch with properties which we had
reorganized, or whose securities we
had recommended to the public, both
here and abroad.
“An apparent change in public sen
timent in regard to directorships now
seems to warrant us in seeking to re
gign from some of these connections
Indeed, it may be in view of the
change in sentiment upon the subject
that we shall be in a better position
to serve such properties and their se
curity holders if we are not directors
We have already resigned from the
companies mentioned and we expect
from time to time to withdraw from
other boards upon which we feel there
is no special obligation to remain.”
Employes Will Share Millions.
Announcement was made by the
Ford- Motor company, of Detroit, Mich.
of a profit-sharing scheme by which
$10,000,000, approximately half the
earnings of the concern, will be dis
tributed annually to its employes.
At the same time it was announced
that the working day for the men
would be cut one hour, making ar,
eight-hour day, with no decrease ir
pay, and that 4000 new employes are
to be added to the company’s working
force immediately, making a total of
22,000 men.
Under the terms of the pian, the
company announced, no employe of
twenty-two years of age or over will
receive less than $5 for an eight-hour
day, even though he be only a floor
sweeper. The minimum wages for em-
ployes is now $2.34 for a nine-hour
day.
In connection with the launching of
the profit sharing plan, the Ford com-
pany has organized a sociolcgical de-
partment which will keep close watch
on the manner of living of all em-
ployes, and those found to be using
their extra money in any lLaproper
manner will immediately cease to be
beneficiaries under the plan.

Dr. S| Weir Mitchell Is Dead.
Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, noted author
and physician, died at his home in
Philadelphia. Death was due to an
acute attack of the grip, the serious-
ness of which was accentuated by his
advanced age, eighty-five years.
Silas Weir Mitchell was born in
Philadelphia on Feb. 15, 1829. He was
educated in the grammar schools of
the city and entered the medical de-
partment of the University of Penn-
sylvania. Owing to sickness, however,
he was forced to leave in the middle
of his senior year. He later finished
his course and was given his degree
by the Jefferson Medical college.
«It is seldom,” says one author, in
writing of Dr. Mitchell, “that a man
is successful in two professions. The
author of ‘Hugh Wynne’ is one of the
few who can claim that distinction.”
Talks to Friend's Wife; Shot.
Clarence E. Caulk, a jeweler, in
Sharpstown, Md. shot and seriously
wounded Leroy C. Longefellow while
Longefellow was seated in Caulk’s
store in conversation with Caulk’s wife
and Charley Walker.
Five shots were fired from a re-
volver, but only two hit Longefellow,
one on the chin, making an ugly
wound. The other entered the back on
the left just above the kidneys, passed
through the left side, lodged in the
front of the abdomen. Caulk was ar-
rested and held in $1000 bail.
Before leaving® for the hospital
| Longefellow, realizing the seriousness
! of his condition, made a sworn state-
i ment as to the shooting, in which he
| stated that he knew of no reason why
| Caulk should shoot him. Caulk made
no public statement, only that he and
i Longefellow knew why the shooting
i occurred.

To Open a 5-Cent Hotel.
Hope for the man with a few nickels
will take tangible form when the Ru-
fus F. Dawes hotel opens in Chicago.

for two cents, coffee at the same price,
rolls for one cent each and pie for
three cents are the features which
promise to make the Dawes hotel pop-
ular from its start.
Patrons are required to take a bath.
They are furnished with clean clothes.
Beds and all other appliances are of
the most sanitary pattern.
For the particular guest who can
afford the extra expense there are pri-
vate rooms. These cost ten cents a
night. A compulsory free bath is at-
tached to the rental of these rooms.
Boy Killed by Schoolmate.
In the presence of more than a
hundred of his schoolmates in the yard
of the high schoo! in Elkton, Md.,
Paul McCall, nine years old, was shot
and instantly killed by George Short,
thirteen years old, another schoolboy.
Before the fatal shot was fired the
McCall boy had been ordered by Short
to go downtown and purchase more
cartridges for the pistol with which
the shooting was done. When he re
fused Short pointed the weapon at
him and fired at close range.
According to statements made to
at a target in the rear of the school
puilding. Young Short was arrested.

Man and Woman End Lives In Hotel.
A man and a woman, who register-
ed as “Jack Peterson, Jr, and wife,
New York,” were found dead in a hotel
room in New York. A revolver was
found in the dead man’s hand, leading |
the police to believe the couple died
as the result of a suicide pact.
The Spirit of Winter.
The Spirit of Winter is with’us, mak-
ing its presence known in many differ-
ent ways—sometimes by cheery sunshine
and glistening snows, and sometimes by
driving winds and blinding storm. To
many people it seems to take a delight
in making bad things worse, for rheuma-
tism twists harder, twinges sharper, ca-
tarrh becomes more annoying, and the
many symptoms of scrofula are develop-
ed and aggravated. There is not much
poetry in this, but there is Zruth, and it
is a wonder that more people don’t get
The medicine that
cures them—Hood’s Sarsaparilla—is easi-
ly obtained and there is abundant proof
that its cures are radical and permanent.
