ly reported that warrants have been
issued for the arrest of Capt (sur-
geon) Lowndes, U. S. N; Capt Crabbs.

partment In San Juan, and Robert
Giles These men will be arraigned

those against whom indictments have
been found, the judge will appoint a

NON-UNION UNIONS

Organized Labor Alarmed at

Special to The Globe.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 49,
Alarmed by the growth of the move
ment to orgaize employers and nom
unionists in the Indiana gas belt cities,
the leaders Of organized labor sent a
man from this city to investigate and
report on the causes leading to- the
movement and it's probable extent. The
agents report was submitted today.
The purpose Of the organization is
to fight organized labor. The lodges are
composed both of employers and en-
ployeS and the "non-union unions" are
being encouraged by business men gen
orally as a solution of the labor prob
lem. The organization is being backed
by the business sentiment of the COM
munities and is making considerable
progress. While the new movement
grew out of the discord in the building
trades, it is not to be confined to
them, but will extend to others. The
avowed intention of the new organiza-
ton is to defeat and disrupt the
unions.
There are local lodges in Anderson,
Muncie and Elwood and one is to be
established in Marion next week. The
national headquarters is to be located
at Anderson and the promoters We're
sanguine of a rapid growth. Some of
the men who are prominently identified
with the new movement are known to
be antagonistic to organized labor and
among the promoters and contractors
who are backing it are men who were
supposed to be friendly to labor or

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April 1S.-
A special meeting of the executive

In Mayaguez as well as from the re-

The recent prosecutions for fraud
and the consequent removals from Of

1t Is That She Can Carry Five
Extra Cargoes at an Extra
Cost of Only 0ne-Lowest
Rates on Oriental Traffic
Ever Known, Yet Profit
able to the Great Northern
Transportation System.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
NEW YORK, April 1S.-Speaking Of
the new steamship Minnesota, James J.
Hill said today:
The beauty of that ship is this: AS
compared with any other cargo carrier
on the Pacific she carries five extra
cargoes at an extra cost for operation
of only one. The significance of this
appears from this: Taking the aver
age cargo of a Pacific carrier at 4,5O0
tons, the Minnesota carries five extra
cargoes, or 27,000 long tons, dead
weight; but the five extra cargoes add
to the cost of operation only that of
one cargo. In other words, the 27,000
tons are carried by the Minnesota at
the cost of 5000 tons by other Pacific
carriers, or at one-third the net cost
per ton of cargo.
"The upshot of this is that the Great
Northern transportation system, in
Guiding both by land and sea facilities,
will be able to make rates on Oriental
traffic hitherto unknown and do it
profitably at rates that would be loss
to other transportation companies. We
thereby will be in a position to insure
our giant steamships, with their 100
trainload capacities, full cargoes. We
will be able to develop an Oriental
commerce of heavy tonnage and make
Puget sound the gateway to the Orient.
Won't "Drop That Bundle"
I'm my speech at the London ship
yards 1 called attention to the fact that
today when any foreign vessel enters
any harbor and sees us with a bundle
of freight and shouts Drop that bun
dle!' we promptly drop it. 1 don't want
to be told to drop any bundle, and I
now give notice that 1 will not drop
any.
Equipped with two steamships that
together have the cargo capacity of
fleet of a dozen ordinary Pacific car
riers and of 200 railway freight trains,
we will be able to take care of our
freight bundles. If a rate of So per
ton from the Mississippi valley to the
Orient on -four steel rails and pro-
visions, which is half of the lowest
former rates, will secure bundles, we
will command a plenty From Mime
apolis alone during the past ninety
days these rates have secured 10000
tons of flour and other farm and mill
products for the Orient"

PREACHER TO BE TRIED
FOR PECULIAR TEACHINGS
Head of the Order of the Atonement
Advocates Episcopal Church.


NEW YORK, April 18.-It is asserted
that Rev. Paul James Francis, minister
general of the Order of the Atonement,
with headquarters at Garrison, is to be
brought to trial. Papers have been
prepared. it is said, by Bishop Coleman,
of Delaware, in which diocese Rev. Mr..
Francis is canonically resident.
Bishop Coleman's charge is the
teaching of Mr.. Francis, who has for
some years openly advocated the Epis-
copal church, acknowledging the Ro-
man obedience and procuring pardon
for the sin of having denied, for some
hundred years, the spiritual supremacy
Of the pope of Rome. Somebody gave
Mr.. Francis order a mountain at Gar
rison, worth about $500, and upon the
one side of it he has established a mon
astery, so-called, and upon the other
side his sister, under a second Order of
