Pelletier in support of the charge that William M. Wood, president of the American Woolen companv, and Frederick FE. Atteux, a dye manufacturer, conspired ith others to ‘plant” dynamite at Tawrence for the purpose of casting suspicion upon the striking textile operatives. One of the many witnesses called in an attempt to fill in the gaps in the government’s case and connect more closely the principals with the alle plot, was Max Mitchell, a banker of Roston, whose direct examination was apparently intended fo show intimacy between Wooq and Attenx. On cross- examination he was used as a charac- ter witness for Atteux. Mitchell told of Atteux’s endeavors to bring about a settlement of the strike and said that it was due to the efforts of the dye manufacturer that many conferences between strikers and company officials were held. Several times during the trial the prosecutor has questioned witnesses concerning the whereabouts of Charles A. Hardy, an official of the American Woolen company, and Orville Reddig, formerly employed by Wood as a chauffeur, but without receiving any information. Today three police offi- cers testifieq that they had been un- able to serve a summons on Hardy requiring his attendance at the trial and a_Lawrence police inspector testi- fied similarly regarding his efforis to locate Reddie. The danger of the “plant” was fllus- trated In the testimony of Joseph As- saf, a Syrian painter of Lawrence in }hoso home some of the explosive was laced. Assaf safd that when he open- ed the package he thought the sticks might be some new form of paint. He tried to burn a stick and then smelled of the scorched portion. Later on he showed the stick to a person, who told him it was dynamite.

Not Apparent in His Breath. It would have been impossible, the witnesses said for Colonel Roosevelt ever to have been under the influence of liquor without the fact becoming known to his associates. It would have been equally impossible, they testified for him to have drunk liquor with any regularity without the smell of it on his breath being apparent to his friends who testified. The Colonel Chuckles. Once Colonel Roosevelt gave vent to an audible chuckle. That when Robert Bacon, former secretary of state, in telling of his acquintance with members of the Roosevelt fam- ily, said the colonel was the father of five children, aithough he has six Colonel Roosevelts, sense of humor was awakened at once by this lapse of Mr. Bacon's memory and the hearty chuckle which he vainly tried to smother in his hands caused a rip- ple of laughter about the courtroom. Certain Hearsay Evidence Excluded. The day’s proceedings were marked by an important ruling by Judge Richard C. Flannigan, which in the introduction of evidence by the de- fense will have the effect of excluding certain kinds of hearsay testimony. This ruling came after a prolonged argument during which the jurors were excluded from the room and aft- er attorneys for Colonel Rooseveit had urged for the exclusion of a certain kind of testimony which they said might be introduced by the defense through depositions taken from per- sons in different parts of the country. Rumors Not to br Admitted. The effect of the ruling was that Colonel Roosevelt's general reputation is an issue in the case and testimony bearing upon his reputation ‘may be introduced, but that rumors or reports about his reputation coming from persons not qualified by experience to judge shall not be admitted. In the future progress of the hearing, it wa explained in courta person who has travelled extensively with the former president or who has been associated with him with any degree of constan- cy may testify as to his reputation speech or saw him moments in a crowd to his general rep- tell how liver a political for only a few may not test utation, although he may colonel acted or appeared at. that par- ticular time. 3 James H.

Horace Andre ona of Mr. Newett's counsel, descri ed the present civil action as “a sem criminal case” and pleaded for u stricted ruling on the admission of ev- ol !idence by the defense. | | Usually Drank out of Courtesy.

Mr. O’Laughlin was asked whether he had | heard a general report circulated among newspaper men that the colonel was In the hablt of geiting drunk. Af(- ér the court’s ruling he was permitied answer.

Wilson Wor’t Object. President Wilson is said to have intimated that he would not object to having the clause eliminated. This ac- tion, it was reported, would be recom- mended by the senate finance sub- committee, headed by Senator John Sharp Williams, which is considering the administrative features. Germany, France and England have made strong protests against th clause and assurances were given to- day that an effort will be made to eliminate the objectionable features. Protests from Eight Nations. Two important conferences were held today on the foreign protests. One was Dbetween Senator Simmons, chair- man of the finance committee and Sec- v Bryan and John Bassett Moore, counsellor of the state department. The other conferees were Senators W liams and Shively of the finance com- and Representative Peters of chusetts, who have charge of the administrative section of the tariff bill for the house ways and means commit- tee. violated for 1 treaties. During the conference protests against the clause from eight nations were read. A Big Job Ahead. It was generally expected tonight that the house would yield to a sen- ate amendment striking out the clause. As the senate sub-committees got down to bedrock today and began con- sideration of proposed changes in the bill they found a long job ahead of them. purred on to finish the sched- ules within a week if possible, they aimed to hold day and night executive sessions, but some of them feareq that even in this way they would be unable, however, to be ready for the full com- mittee before Tuesday.
