Cincinnati, March 19.—By the ex- plosion of 250 pounds of dynamite in a shack on the site of the new city hospltal enormous damage was done. People all over the city and suburbs were awakened. All glass within a radius of half a mile was broken, neighboring store fronts were blown out, furnaces were dismantled by the shock, sewers were disconnected and other damage was done. The cause of the explosion 1s un- known, but incendlarisi is suspected, & number of men recently discharged PRAISE FOR LABOR UNIONS. Mr. Bryan Says They Have Done Much Good for Society. Chicago, March 19.—William J. Bryan, at the closing conference in connection with the industrial exhibit, expressed the opinion that trade uni- ons have done more good for society than any other force in this country. Although he disclalmed any ‘“‘sclen- tific” knowledge of the question Mr. Bryan's remarks were recelved with much satisfaction by the audience of anlon men from the Federation of La- bor which attended the meeting. “The unions have made some mis- takes, but they have accomplished more good,” was the keynote of his speech, He paid a tribute espectally to the organizations of women in this connection. “When we consider that through trade unions wages have been in- creased, hours shortened and comfort afforded the workingmen in greater measure,”. he said, “I think we have a right to say the benefits resulting from these unions cannot be overes- timated. Perhaps no other force in the country ever has been so effective for improvement in the citizenship and general moral qualities of our peo. ple. “If the labor union had never done anything else than raise the age limit of employment for children in the mines and factories of this nation I believe that accomplishment alone would justify its existence. No in- fluence in this country ever has been so evil in its effects as the tendency to crowd workshops with children of tender years. It is a most destructive tendency and one that the public con- sclence should protest against.” STOCKS AGAIN TAKE SLUMP PRICES SHOW A FALLING OFF AFTER RECENT VIOLENT RECOVERIES, New York, March 19.—Excitement was revived In the stock market dur- ing the day by a break of disturbing proportions in the opening dealings. The outpouring of stocks was attrib- uted mostly to a rush to realize at the buoyant recovery which had been achieved on Friday and Saturday from the extreme depression of Thursday. Speculative sentiment was practically agreed that the recovery had been too violent and too rapid to be healthy. The wide declines registered in Lon- don before the market opened here shook the nerves of many holders who had fairly weathered the storm of last week. The conspicuous declines were Northern Pacific and Anaconda 3%, Canadian Pacific 3, Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie 4, Unlon Pacific and Reading 2%, Great North- ern preferred 2%, Smelting 2%, Southern Paclfic 2%, Atchison 2%, Amalgamated Copper and Sloss-Shef- field Steel 2 and a long list of the most actlve stocks from 1 to 2 pefnts. Prices rebounded almost immediately 1 to 1% and, while the recoveries were not fully held, the excitement abated largely. The marget closed weak, with no rally of consequence except Union Pa- oific, which rebounded 2 points.. Prices relapsed again to the lowest of the day In the last hour. Union Pacific, Reading and Smelting were freely un- loaded. Smelting fell 6%, Union Pa- cific 6, Reading 6%, Consolidated Gas 8%, Southern Pacific 3%, Amalgamat- ed Copper and St. Paul 3, Chesapeake and Ohio 2% and Baltimore and Ohlo, Kansas and Texas and United States Steel 2 or more. GOES TO HIGHEST COURT. Opponents Continue Fight on Greater Pittsburg. Philadelphia, March 19.—The su- preme court of Pennsylvania has re- fused to grant a writ of error which ‘would have carried a decision of that court affirming an act of the leglisla- ture providing for the consolidation of the cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny to the supreme court of the United States. Former Governor William A. Stone, representing the citizens ol Al- legheny opposed to the consolidation, now will apply to a justice of the Unit- ed States supreme court for an order carrying the case to that tribunal. The case will be appealed to the federal court on the ground that the consolidation increases the taxation of the oltizens of Allegheny without their consent in violation of the federal constitution. MAY HAVE BEEN BLOWN UP. Destruction of French Warship Possi- bly Criminal Act. Toulon, March 19.—The explosion which destroyed the battleship Iena, it is now believed, may possibly have been due to a criminal act. A saflor has been arrested for having_spoken In gratification at the disaster and the commander of another warship has re. ceived a letter threatening a similar catastrophe to his vessel. Naval officers are demanding that sailors affected by the anti-militarist propaganda be promptly given shore duty. In Honor of Cleveland. New York, March 19.—By order of Mayor McClellan the national, state and clty flags were run up on the city hall flagstaffs Monday in homor of former President Grover Cleveland, who 18 seventy years old.

Banker Speyer Pays 8econd Visit to White House. ‘Washington, March 18.—James Speyer of the firm of Speyer & Co., financlers of New York, was at the ‘White House during the day and had an interview with the president. . Mr. Speyer declined to intimeate In any way what the nature of his interview was, but it {s presumed that it touched upon the financial situation. by the hospital contractors being sald to have made threats. On Wednesday last Mr. Speyer called on the president. His second visit cansed muen talk in official circles, Mr. Speyer would not say what his future movements are to be or wheth- er or not he would see the president again before he returns to New York. A rumer gained curreney during the forenoon that the president has prepared an important lotter bear- ing on his attitude toward the rallroad corporations. The rumor fur- ther asserted that this letter had been talked over between the president and Mr. Speyer during the latter's visit to the White House and that the senti- ments therein expressed had met with the approval of Mr. Svever. REPEATEDLY BEAT HER EVELYN NESBIT'S AFFIDAVIT OF 1908 FINALLY INTRODUCED IN THAW MURDER CASE. DEFENDANT USED RAWHIDE WHIP YOUNG WOMAN LASHED UNTIL SHE SWOONED ON VARIOUS SPECIFIED OCCASIONS. New York, March 19.—After fighting for an hour and a half against the in- troduction 'in evidence of the famous affidavit drawn by Abraham H. Hum- mel at the request of Stanford White and with the alleged consent of Eve- Iyn Nesbit charging Harry K. Thaw with having cruelly beaten Miss Nes- bit on several occasions during their trip through Furope in 1903 Mr. Del- mas, attorney for the defense, sudden- ly switched tactics at the trial of Har- ry Thaw and demanded that the whole of the alleged affidavit go into the rec- ord and be read to the jury. District Attorney Jerome had contemplated reading only certaln portions of it, ‘which he declared directly contradict- ed the testimony of the young Mrs. Thaw. The afiidavit specifies numerous oc- casions in Austria, Switzerland and Paris when Thaw is alleged to have beaten the young woman, who was traveling with him as his wife, until she swooned. Her bare skin, she de- elared, had been bruised and cut by the lashings of Thaw’s cowhide whip. The Hummel affidavit had already been discounted by the statement of its contents by Mr. Jerome at various times during his arguments as to its admissibility. Mr. Jerome had also quoted freely from the affidavit during hig cross-examination of young Mrs. Thaw. During the cross-examination she denied emphatically having made any of the statements contalned in the paper. Prosecution Rests Its Case, With the reading of the affidavit Mr. Jerome announced that the people rested thelr case in rebuttal. Mr. Del- mas immediately offered in evidence the record of the trial of Abraham Hummel on the charge of conspiracy. The distriot attorney did not object and the defendant’s lawyer proceeded to read the entire record to the jury. ‘When Hummel was on the witness stand he denled absolutely that in drawing the affidavit he was acting as eounsel for Miss Nesbit. In the afii- davit as read, and which Hummel said he dictated, he has Miss Nesbit refer to himself several times. At one place she 18 purported to say: “1 have received several letters and ceblegrams from Thaw which I have turned over to my counsel, Mr. Abra- ham Hummel.” The afidavit is also signed “Howe & Hummel, attorneys for plaintiff.” Mr. Hummel also denied that any action was contemplated in behalf of Miss Nesbit, while the affidavit- be- gins: “Evelyn Nesbit, plaintiff, vs. Harry K. Thaw, defendant,” and ap- pears as part of the papers in an ac- tion contemplated in the supreme court ¢f the county of New York. At the afternoon session Mr. Del- mas began the introduction of evi- dence in rebuttal. He called, among others, Policeman James Barrett, who declared that Thaw, in his cell on the night of the tragedy, spoke constantly of hearing little girly’ voices scream- ing. Thaw acted irrdtionally, the wit- ness said. CATTLEME’N GO TO JAIL. Prominent Nebraskans Sentenced in Federal Court. Omaha, March 19.—The most im- portant land case in Nebraska culmin- ated during the day in the sentence of several prominent and influential eattlemen by Judge Munger of the United States court. Bartlett Rich- ards and W. G. Comstock were sen- tenced to pay a flne each of $1,600 and serve a year in the Douglass coun- ty jall and C. G. Jameson and Acquilla Triplett were sentenced to pay a fine of $500 and serve eight months in the same jail. These men were indicted by the federal grand jury in May, 1908, for conspiragy to defraud the United States out of use, possession and title to public land, consisting of upwards of 200,000 acres In Northwestern Ne- braska. The trlal began in Novem- ber, 1906, and ended Dec. 20 with a verdlct of guilty. Motion for a new trial was made and it was heard on March 15, when Judge Munger over- ruled it. One hundred and elght wit- nesses were examined in the trial of these men. Acquilla Triplett, soon after charges were lodged against him, left for Mexico, but. was finally brought back.
