WITNESSES
They Are Now In Los An
geles lo Face Grand Jury
INDICTMENTS EXPECTED
At Least Three Principals
Will Be Named and Two
or Three Accessories
Investigation Will Last
All Through the Week.
Los Angeles, Nov. 2. The assem
bling of thirty witnesses from San
Francisco and vicinity marked a phase
of the grand jury investigation of the
Times disaster today, for which tho
return of indictments Is expected to
supply tho climax within a few days.
Three true bills are confidently an
ticipated by officials of the district
attorney's office. There may be four
and possibly two more. The three
or four indictments will name the al
leged principals in the plot which re
sulted in the destruction of the Los
Angeles plant on October 1 and the
death of twenty-one of Its men. The
other two will bring suspected aids
of the plotters to trial as accessories.
Six witnesses were examined today.
Among them were Earl Rogers, who
directed the search for evidence In
the north, and J. D. Zianini, a- powder
expert The other four were from
San Francisco and vicinity. Twenty
six more, including Olaf Tveitmoe,
Anton Johannsen, and others promi
nent in union labor circles of San
Francisco, were waiting the call of
the Inquisitors when tho grand Jury
adjourned until tomorrow.
A foundation for support of the al
legation that it was a dynamite ex
plosion which wrecked the Times was
laid by survivors of the explosion, who
testified Friday and Monday. The
line taken by the Jury today was in
dicated by the witnesses called to the
stand this morning. Besides Rogers
and Zianini, these were George H.
Phillips, assistant manager of the
Giant Powder Works; Bruce McCaull,
shipping clerk at Giant, who dis
patched the consignment of dynamite
ordered by "Bryson," Morris and
Leonard; Douglas Burrowes of Oak
land, whoso boat, the Pastime, was
chartered by the alleged conspirators;
and Harrison N. Nutter, clerk of a
water front hardware firm, who sold
the aluminum letters to make the
name "Peerless," which was substi
tuted for "Pastime" on the little ves
sel. The development which Rogers and
Detective Brown of the district attor
ney's office declare they have against
the alleged dynamiters, rests upon
the testimony of the remaining wit
nesses, a list of whom was given out
by Presiding Judge Bordwell of the
superior court today. The examina
tion of these witnesses probably will
require the rest of this week. Then
will come the Indictments, If the evi
dence developed can stand the test of
the grand Jury probe.
Rogers was on the stand most of
the afternoon. He declined to say
whether he will be entitled hereafter
to enter the grand Jury room as as
sistant district attorney to aid In con
ducting the investigation. Rogers also
refused to say when Mrs. Belle Lavin,
an alleged associate of Bryce, who is
still held in the county jail under a
murder warrant, would be called be
fore the grand jury. It Is probable,
however, that she will be called fm
mcdiately before or after Mrs. Inger
soll Is summoned to testify.

BITTERLY DENOUNCES
"APOSTLE OF TUMULT"
CANDIDATE DIX PAYS HIS COM
PLIMENTS TO ROOSEVELT.
Describes Him as the "Protagonist of
Misrepresentation."
New York, Nov. 2. Dix, the demo
cratic nominee for governor, made his
first public address in this city tonight
at a meeting in Carnegie hall, which
also served as the occasion for Mayor
Gaynor's announcement cw his support
of the ticket. The mayor's voice still
being weak, his message camo in the
form of a letter to Herman Ridder, who
presided. Dix devoted the greater part
of his speech to a denunciation of
Roosevelt. He charged the former
president with wilful falsehood in re
peating accusations for which Dix, in
his Buffalo speech, had demanded an
apology. He referred to Roosevelt's
political alliance with Hearst, whom
four years ago he had "publicly brand
ed as responsible for the assassin's
bullet aimed at the president."
Speaking of Roosevelt and his politic
al activities, Dix said: "In the center of
the stage there has been hurled by the
Inordinate vanity and the dangerous
ambition and reckless conduct of a man
who has become an apostle of tumult
and the protagonist of misrepresenta
tion the question of whether your re
publican Institutions should survive, or
under the assaults of the agitator and
the egotist, should go down to destruc
tion as have other great countries un
der similar assaults.
"Fortunately, the battleground chos
en for this fight was that which com
bined patriotism, Intelligence and. pub
lic spirit in their highest form and the
decisive defeat which lies before this
creature of unrest, this instigator of
panic and this destructive agent of
business depression will not alone re
tire him to a sphere of well-earned and
unenvled seclusion, but will serve as
a signal of warning to all other men
who may let their ambition blind their
Judgment to the fact that this is and
must remain a government for the peo
ple and by the people.
"Never have we had so much occa
sion to blush for the conduct of a man
who had been the first citizen of our
country and no greater and more strik
ing difference could be found In his
tory between the republican president
and the illustrious men who preceded
him into office, than Is found by their
conduct after they had retired from the
great office which they had held.
"Look for a moment upon the man
who is now rushing up and down tho
state, shouting, threatening, abusing
and wilfully misrepresenting bringing
contempt and ridicule upon the great
office he has held and avoiding tho
discussion of all the real Issues of this
campaign, and then upon his great
predecessors who never . forgot that
they owed to their country the duty of
bearing themselves always with dig
nity and honor."

MENTAL CONDITION OF
ACCUSED MURDERESS
Mrs. Carolina B. Martin Demonstrated
That Shi Vas at Least Nervous.
Newark, Nov. 2. Proceedings were
begun today to ascertain the condition
of mind of Mrs. Carolina B. Martin,
accused of the murder of her daughter,
Ocey Sncad, of East Orange, In the
bath tub case.
The trial took a dramatic turn when
the aged woman Jumped trom her chair
to deny the statement of a witness. For
a few minutes the court room was in
such an uproar that Judge Teneycko
had to halt the proceedings.. It re
quired the combined efforts of court
attendants and relatives to quiet Mrs.
Martin.
Her interruption came while Judge
Arthur A. Phleger of Bristol, Va., a
life long acquaintance of the accused
woman, was on the stand. He testi
fied that he had received several let
ters from Mrs. Martin and her sister,
Mrs. Mary W. Snead (Jointly accused
of the murder) in regard to retaining
counsel. Mrs. Martin suddenly jumped
to her feet, shouting: "I never sent you
nor anyone else a letter."

made a special order for tomorrow

Those who miss its discussion will

the session for several set speeches

In the course of' preparation.
THE SUFFRAGISTS' DAY.
Little was accomplished In the
open convention yesterday. The
morning session was brief and the
afternoon session was equally so,
partly because there was no business
ready and partly because there was
to be a public hearing at three
o'clock by the committee on elections
of the equal suffrage question and
for this occasion the leading advo
cates of votes for women had been
brought from the four corners of
the territory.
The hearing was held in the coun
cil chamber. Chairman Jones of the
committee, after calling It to order,
stated that the further proceedings
would be under the direction of Mrs.
Prances Munds, the head of tho Ari
zona Women's Suffrage association.
At three o'clock the galleries were
well filled and Judging from the dem
onstration the audience was largely
in sympathy with tho movement.
Mrs. Munds occupied a place on
the platform of the president of tho
council surrounded by the scheduled
speakers. She first introduced Mrs.
J. A. Hopkins of Miami, Gila county
who she said was one of tho large
number of persons designated by the
census officials as without occupa
tion; that is, she was nothing but
a housekeeper. Mrs. Hopkins who is
a very young matron read a well
prepared paper dealing with tho
equal suffrage question from a gen
oral point of view, taking the ground
that the admission of women tq suf
frage would be better for the women.
better for the men and better for
the state.
The next speaker was Dr. Agnes
"Wallace of Prescott wjio spoke In
behalf of professional women and
wage earners. Both had found them
selves handicapped for lack of the
suffrage and she related tho experi
ences of her self and others who had
been denied public positions which
they were well able to fill because
they were without votes and conse
quently without political influence'
which in the appointive officeholder
under the present system takes the
placo of efficiency.
LOOKING BACKWARD.
Perhaps tho hit of the day was
made by Mrs. Virgil Parks of Tuc
son. Her paper was a story well
told, of a conversation supposed to
have taken place in the year of Our
Lord 1960 describing the struggle
and success of the women of Ari
zona fifty years before in securing
recognition In the Arizona constitu
tional convention.
A little boy of the storv havincr
failed to understand his grandmother,
tne relator, say that suffrage had
been granted, as he was leaving to
go to bed, asked if ho should pray
for the souls of the "constitutioners"
in purgatory. No, replied the grand
mother, thoy had granted suffrage
and had gone to heaven, escaping
even the smell of purgatory.
Another speaker was Ernest H.
LIcbel of the labor party and assist
ant editor of tho Voice of the Peo
ple. Mr. Liebel presented his prayer
for tho emancipation of women In
tho form of a more or less imperi
ous demand and in conclusion he in
timated that it would be to the ad
vantage of tho political future' of the
delegates to admit the women to suf
frage. It was coming anyway and
those who contributed to its delay
would find themselves stranded po
litical hulks.
THE UNREPRESENTED TAX
PAYER. Mrs.. Eugene Brady O'Neill who de
scribed herself as a Hassayamper,
said that from her earliest recollec
tion of the affairs of Arizona, state
hood had been expected. It now
seemed to be at hand and It was
Important that it should have a good
start with the aid of the women In
building up the new state. Mrs.
O'Neill spoko from the point of view
of the taxpayer who Is forced to con
tribute to the support of public in
stitutions without a voice as to the
extent of her contribution or as to
the manner in which her contribu
tion should be expended.
Alluding to the excuse which sho
said she had heard, that President
Taft might not approve a constitu
tion containing an equal suffrage
provision, she said that excuse was
worn thread bare. She had observed
that whenever a delegate had been
asked to favor some provisions con
cerning which ho was lukewarm or
worse, ho Immediately hid behind the
hard heartedness" of President Taft.
Mrs. O'Neill quoted from utterances
of the president in favor of votes for
women.

ATTORNEY IN
THE TDIL!
Newest Phase of Browne
Bribery Incident
ERBSTEIN IS INDICTED
Sore at Small Appreciation
of His Services, Juror at
Browne's Trial Discloses
Alleged Crooked Work
of the Lawyer.
Chicago, Nov. 2. Charles E. Erbsteln
of counsel for Lee O'Neill Browne, who
was recently acquitted of the charge
of bribing a state representative to vote
for William Lorimer, was indicted to
day, charged with corrupting a mem
ber of the Jury that cleared Browne.
The Juror in question, Grant Mc-
Cutcheon, and Henry T. Stacy, the al
leged go-between, told State"s Attor
ney Wayman they had received $250
which they divided equally between
themselves, for McCutcheon's voto on
the verdict. The first trial of Browne
resulted in a disagreement, the second,
In which the bribery is said to have
figured, brought in a verdict of not
guilty. Among the witnesses for the
state were three state representatives,
who confessed on the stand to being
paid $1,000 each for their votes for
Lorimer.
Immediately after the case went
against him Mr. Wayman began the in
vestigation of numerous rumors con
cerning attempts at tampering with the
veniremen. A week ago he secured a
clew which led to McCutcheon." The
latter, nd Stacy, It is said, were dis
gruntled at the small amount of money
which they received, and resolved to
tell.
After the trial McCutcheon and Stacy
went to Erbsteln's office, they declare.
They thought there would be at least
$2,000 casli and easy Jobs in It accord
ing to Stacy, and they could scarcely
believe their eyes when the lawyer
gave them only $100. Later, they state,
he gave them $150. MrCutcheon de
murred at taking the story to tho
state's attorney, but Stacy said he
would go alone. McCutcheon then
agreed to act with him.
The grand Jury began the hearing of
witnesses nearly a week ago. One piece
of testimony was that ten of the Jurors,
shortly after the verdict was delivered,
were wined and dined sumptuously.
n
HELD TO GRAND JURY.
Former Officers of the Illinois Cen
tral Railroad.
Chicago, Nov. 2. The prosecution
of Frank B. Harriman, Charles L.
Ewlng and J. M. Taylor, former
Illinois Central officials, charged with
conspiracy, advanced a point here to,
day, when Judge Bruggemcyer who
has been hearing the case In thq
municipal court ordered the defend
ants held to the grand jury.
Immediately attorneys for tho de
fense obtained a writ of habeas cor
pus from the superior court. They
claimed that the action of the judge
was in defiance and contempt of a
previous writ of habeas corpus. Hear
ing both petitions was set for next
Saturday. The first petition had been
granted on the plea that Judge
Bruggemayer was prejudiced and
had refused a change, of venue. The
specific charge on which the three
mn are held to the grand jury is
conspiracy to obtain money by false
pretenses.
Were Recalled By Yester
day's Events In Chicago
RIOTERS WERE PERSISTENT
Police Had All They Could
Attend to and Are Pre
paring for Worse Trouble
Club Women Become
Less Belligerent.
Chicago, Nov. 2. Grim spectres of
the days of the Haymarket tragedy
resulted in Chicago's streets for a
j brief time this afternoon when In
, spector S. K. Haly and a squad of 70
policemen with drawn revolvers
charged several thousand garment
workers who were rioting on the East
side. One policeman was stabbed, fif
teen rioters were seriously injured and
twenty strikers and their sympathiz
ers were arrested during the fight,
which threatened to get beyond police
control.
This, the most serious outbreak
since tho inception of the strike, oc
curred at the plant of A. Lott & Co.
Before the police arrived the strikers
had broken all the windows in the
large building occupied by the cloth
ing makers and had driven the strike
breakers out and had carried a large
number of sewing machines into the
streets, where they were destroyed.
The strikers and their followers
put up a desperate fight. Many of
them were knocked down and clubbed
with the revolvers of the police and
not a few were trampled upon. Some
of the employe;- of the company joined
the strikers and are said to have as
sisted in putting the machines off the
floors.
Men and women were hurling stones
and bricks through the windows of
the plant when Healey and a squad
of reserves arrived. The Inspector
experienced difficulty In getting to
gether two disorganized forces of po
licemen who had borne the brunt of
the early fighting. When he had done
so, however, the policemen charged
through the center of the mob, knock
ing down all in their way. Many of
the rioters fled when they saw the
police draw their revolvers. Those
who remained firm hurled clubs and
stones at the approaching officers. A
number of women were arrested, but
many were released after being taken
to the police station.
Tho attitude of the police indicates
that much more serious trouble Is
anticipated within the next twenty
four hours. All preparations are be
ing made for hastily calling In the
reserves from outlying stations and
mobilizing a large force in the down
town districts. Tho strikers tonight
held a dozen largely attended meet
ings on the West and North sides
and also down town. The feeling at
these meetings was intense and the
agitators urged the strikers to fur
ther disorder. .
Meanwhile various club women who
have interested themselves In the
capse of the girl garment workers
were urging their followers to refrain
from any action that might Injure
their cause.

CHANCES BETTER FOR
STRIKE SETTLEMENT
PLATT ONLY HOLDING OUT
AGAINST ARBITRATION.
Will Not Decide Until Further Con
ferences With Executive Heads.
New York, Nov. 2. Only the word
of Frank H. Piatt, head of the United
States Express Company, is needed
to bring about arbitration ofj the ex
press strike, according to assertions
made by strike leaders tonight.
Through a series of conferences to
night at the office of the mayor the
consent of the strikers to submit to
arbitration was secured. It is said
that Mr. Piatt is unwilling to entrust
a settlement to a board of arbitration.
No settlement was in sight when the
conference adjourned this evening, but
Mayor Wittpenn of Jersey City, who
attended the meetings, said: "It looks
bright for settlement."
As prepared by the conciliation
committee of the National Civic Fed
eration, the arbitration board, if
named, will consist of two men se
lected by the companies, two by the
strikers, and two chosen by those ar
bitrators, with the mayor as cshair
man. On behalf of the companies a state
ment was issued tonight saying that
a general conference of the executive
heads of the companies had been held
today to consider the situation and
would be resumed tomorrow.
During the day the ranks of the
strikers were strengthened by the ad
dition of drivers from several more
department stores. Aid to the strik
ers was tendered by the longshore
men's union, which notified the vari
ous express companies that the long
shoremen would not handle packages
brought to the piers by strikebreakers.
More wagons were moved under police
guard than on any previous day.

OLDFIELD LOSES A
COURT BOOM BATTLE
Disbarred From Participating in the
Atlanta Races.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 2. Oldfield to
day fought for three hours a great con
test for the right to enter in tomorrow's
automobile meet here, and lost. All
the attorneys for the American Auto
mobile association held that Instead of
an injunction to force the local racing
club to allow him to race in defiance
of his disqualification by the A. A. A.
Oldfield should have sought a mandam
ous to secure his reinstatement.
Oldfield's attorneys brought a suit
for 520,000 damages against the A. A.
A. and one for $5,000 against the At
lanta association. The hearing was
held in the Fulton county superior
court. Oldfield's attorneys claimed he
had been disqualified without a hear
ing, that disqualification of his Benz
racer amounted to a confiscation of his
property.
The opposition council replied that
Oldfield's disbarment was automatic
under the rules he himself signed.
Judge Bell, after three hours and fif
teen minutes of argument, ruled that
he had no jurisdiction.
The three days' racing begins on the
Atlanta speedway tomorrow morning
with eight events, ranging from time
trials to a 100-mile race for a trophy
and a cash prize of $1,000 Because of
the death of Al. Livingstone last night
as the result of an accident on the
speedway yesterday the entire entry of
the National Automobile company,
comprising five racing cars, in charge
of John Aiken and Howard Wilcox,
was withdrawn from the meet.

LETTER FROM M'KINLEY
President Makes Puolic
Congressional Chairman's
Review of the Political
Situation Party Will
Present United Front.
Washington, Nov. 2. President
Taft today made public a letter from
Representative William B. McKlnlcy,
chairman of the republican congress
ional committee in which he takes
a roseate view of the republican
chances at next Tuesday's election.
Tho publication of this letter it is
officially announced, will be the last
act of the president In the campaign.
"It gives me great pleasure to in
form you that every sign points to
republican control of the house of
representatives in the 62nd congress,"
wrote Mr. McKinley from Chicago,
October 28.
"This Information Is based on what
I believe to be reliable reports from
practically every one of the so-called
"doubtful" districts. We have madf
and are making substantial gains in
districts which were lost in the elt c
tion two years ago by a narrow
margin.
"Three months ago, pessimistic re
publicans and optimistic democrats
expressed the belief that this was a
democratic year. Their predictions
were not shared by yourself, or oth
ers charged with responsibility for
carrying forward the republican cam
paign. I am pleased to advise you
that there has been a decided change
in sentiment in the last few weeks.
Democratic hopes are fading and re
publicans generally are now enthu
siastic in their belief, that, while this
may have been a democratic year in
July, It 13 a republican year In No
vember. "In your letter to me in August.
1910, you state that the question was
not what complexion of republican
ism one prefers, but whether it is
better for the country to have the
republican party control the legisla
tion for the next two years and fur
ther redeem its promises, or to en
able a democratic majority in the
house either to interpose a veto to
republican measures or to formulato
and pass bills to carry out demo
cratic principles.
"Your clear and Just analysis of
republican principles and your brief
outline of the great work to which
your administration is committed
was adopted by the republican con
gressional committee as the slogan
of this campaign. The differences in
the party which were manifested dur
ing the two sessions of the present
congress have been composed on the
basis of your letter and a militant
and united party, which is approach
ing tho biennial election with confi
dence of deserved victory-"

DF FRENCH CABINET
President Asks Briand to Perform
' Difficult Task of Forming
New One.
Paris, Nov. 2. Following the unex
pected resignation of the Briand cabi
net today. President Fallieres re
quested Premier Briand to retain his
office and form a new ministry. This
task is proving difficult.
In making up the new combination
the premier has been in consultation
with former leaders, such as Leon
Bouregeois, M. Clemenceau, whom
Briand succeeded in office, and Jean
Sarrlen, ex-premier and ex-minister
of justice. It Is probable that no an
nouncement of the personnel of the
cabinet will be made until tomorrow.
The Temps insists upon the impera
tiveness of a broad program of social
and republican defense against an
archy, with legal means for the settle
ment of labor conflicts without re- -sort
to strikes. In its opinion to para
lyze national life by a strike of pub- g
lie service employes should be re- j
garded as the crime of lese patrie: ?
