CHAMPION DESERTER CAUGHT
Patrick HOrrignn's Thirteenth Eniat-
ment Proves Fatal 10 His
Long Record.

NEW YORK. Jan e0.-PatTick Horrlgan
has been captured He is now in custody
in San Francisco and the military au-
thorities say that they have at last cap
tured the champion deserter of the Ameri-
can army. 1t is charged that in the past
fifteen years Horfigan has enlisted and
deserted thirteen times. And although his
body is gorgeously tattooed. he has managed
TO escape the recruiting officer In spite
Of the fact that descriptions OF him had
been sent all over the country. Recently
the War department decided that Horrigan
had deserted enough and that the unlucky
thirteenth should be his last. circular
was accordingly sent out to recruiting Of
fIcers all over the country, giving a very
elaborate description OF the man. as It was
believed that. according to custom. he
would enlist again, He did anh was
promptly put under arrest. He will be
tried by court-martial. Horrigan first
enlisted in Grand Rapids. Mich. in 1892.
A few days later he deserted Before
long he re-enlisted under another name
and after a short time again deserted. A
clerk In the War department discovered
the champion deserter from the descrip-
tion which was sent to the War depart
ment whenever a man Is enlisted. The
clerk in reading a card thought there was
something familiar about the tattoo marks
described and a search showed ten cards
on which the marks were identical, al
though in each the name was different. In
each case, the man had deserted after
serving for short time. Further search
showed that Horrigan had deserted three
times before the present system of keeping
descriptions was adopted.

REPORTED PLOT NOT OFFICIAL
Understood story started In Paris and
Comes from Sensational
sources.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 20-The reported
plot to blow up one or more ships OF the
Atlantic battleship fleet at Rio de Janeiro
is regarded at the White House as
repetition of one OF the many schemes.
which are constantly being presented to the
secret service by persons who claim TO
possess Information. which they are willing
TO part with for a consideration. No
credence is placed here in the existence
OF an actual plot 1t Is understood the
information originated in Paris. from which
point It was communicated to the secret
service bureau Of the Treasury department
and through that means 10 Admiral Evans
and the authorities OF the South American
country.
RIO JANEIRo, Jan. 2o.-There we're fur
ther developments today. according TO the
local police. to the efforts being made to
unearth the persons responsible for the
alleged plot to destroy part OF the Amerl-
can flet now In this harbor. Several ar
rests have been made. The band which Is
supposed to have organized the plot is
made up OF foreigners. II is presumably
composed of five Italians. one Canadian
and two Germans. John Fender is one OF
the Germans Three Of the Italians have
been arrested here. and it Is believed that
the other members of the band have been
taken into custody at Sac Paulo.
The members of the band counted on the
assistance OF a Spaniard named Rochero,
who has lived in this city for long time.
A year ago, however. this man went insane.
and since then he has been shut up In
sanitarium at Montevideo.
PARIS, Jan. ga story in which not
many persons place oredence, but for which
there is apparent foundation. has gained
currency here to the effect that unknown
plotters shipped explosives to Rio Janeiro
in small vessel and planned to place
them in the narrowest part of the straits
of Magellan to destroy the American fleet,
using a nearby island as a base. The ves-
sci was traced to Brazil and information
was sent to the Washington authorities
as a precautionary measure. The anarch-
lstic feature was not thought of here. the
story being attributed to japanese sources.

TOXIC, Jan So.-At the Daido club today
sixty members Of the lower house In the
Diet issued manifesto which proclaimed
unalterable opposition to the financial pol
icy of the government.
This is one OF the significant develop
nents of the present situation, because
Marquis Katsura. the former premier, is
recognized as the leading spirit of the
Daidos. although he does not lay any claim
to the position Of leader. This action
united the Daidos with the progressive
party and practically unites the opposition,
In which event the government would be

Up to the present moment It was gener-
ally believed that Marquis Katsura and
