"While it must not be supposed that
the society is anything but powerful and
effective. it is none the less true that
compared with similar societies IN other
great powers it has neither the member

entitled. For example: Japan has a
total fund of more than S3,OOO,OOO'
Prussia nearly as much, France nearly

ties too great for local relief. will far
transcend the needful drafts thereupon.

FLEET PLOT TALE
IS DISCREDITED
WASHINGTON AUTHORITIES PLACE
NO BELIEF IN WILD STORY
FROM RIO JANEIRO.
ONE GREAT ARMADA Is PLAN,
Admiral Evans Wants Battleship Squad
ron and Torpedo Boat Flotilla
to Join Forces.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 90
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 CON
stantly being presented to the secret
service agents of the government by
persons who claim to possess information
which they are willing to part with for
a consideration.
No Credence in Story
No credence is placed in the existence
OF an actual plot. 1t is understood the
information originated in Paris from
which point 1t was communicated to the
secret service bureau of the treasury de-
partment and through that medium to
Admiral Evans and the authorities of
the South American country.
Fleets May Join.
Admiral Evans in a dispatch to the
navy department from Rio JaneirO to-
day suggests that the torpedo boat de-
stroyer tiotilla visit Buenos Ayres. Ad-
miral Evans has gone 80 far as to re
quest the privilege of having the de-
strOyers accompany his big ships direct
to Sandy Point from Rio de Janeiro. At
BuenOs Ayres they will lay over for per
haps not more than Il day to replenish
their coal supplies and then proceed
again to sea and join the battleships at
Sandy Point. To stop at Buenos Ayres
will put the men in good shape for the
long run to Sandy Point.

BILE for the alleged plot to destroy part
OF the American fleet now in this har-
Dor. Several arrests have been made
The band which is supposed to have or
gained the plot is made up of foreign
ers. 1t presumably is composed of five
Italians, one Canadian and two Ger
mans. John Fender is one of the Ger
mans. 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 PauIo. The

sistance of a Spaniard named Rochero.

MUTINY ON ARMY TRANSPORT.
Seamen Refuse to Obey Order Relative
to Cleanliness.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. 49,
The United States army transport Blu
ford has arrived here from the Philip
pines with number of returning troops
and other passengers. The bulletin says
that during the trip across trouble was
caused on the vessel by an order that
marines, blue jackets and sailors alike
comply with an army regulation which
requires an inspection of the men for
personal cleanliness every two weeks.
No such regulation obtains in the navy
and the men homeward bound for dis
charge from the ships of the Pacific
fleet declined to comply with it.
Petty Officer Myers, chief gunner's
mate from the ST. Helena, was thrown
into the brig shortly after the Buford
left Nagasaki on this account, and
thereupon 134 blue jackets and marines
rose as body and demanded that he be
released and that the order be rescind-
ed so far as it applied to them.
After a demonstration on the upper
desk and an appeal to the naval officers
aboard, the men carried their point.

REUBENS IN TROUBLE
DISCOVER THE LATEST FORM OF
UP-TO-DATE HOLD-UPS.
Went Automobiling with Strangers, Who
Threw Them Out After De-
spelling Them.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-[SpeciaL J.
The up-to-date h1ghwayman has turned
automobile to his nefarious purposes, it
seems.
Reuben Schenkler, his face cut and
bruised, his clothes torn and muddy, and
hatless, limped into the East Fifty third
street police station last night and told
a tale which his appearance went far to
corroborate.
Schenkler is a clothing dealer at 11S
Delaney street and has an acquaintance
whom he knows only as Reuben" The
two ReubenS went to a coffee house kept
by one Leskowitz, $50 East Houston
street. last night. There they met two
persons they know, Edward Hess and a
gentleman who because of his very bru-
nette complexion, enjoys the soubrlquet
Niger Nathan"
After some polite interchanges, Ma
than invited Schenkler and the other
Reuben to take a ride in his waiting
motor car, and they accepted gratefully.
Entering the auto they found two
other men there whom they did not know.
They engaged in agreeable conversation,
they sped up First avenue, when, at
Forty hfth street, someone hit the
other Reuben on the head with q black
jack and knocked him half-senseless.
Swiftly the four auto highwaymen went
through Reuben's pockets and then,
without Stacking the cars speed, picked
him up and threw him into the street.
Schenkler was too terrified to yell. Ma
than he said, put a gun to his head and
threatened to kill him if he made out
cry. The other three motorists tore two
diamond rings worth $500 from Schenk-
ler's fingers and yanked from his waist
coat his watch chain and diamond stud
ded locket, but left his watch. Then,
while the auto was speeding they hurled
him from it. When he got on his feet
car and robbers had disappeared.
Lieut.. B&ley found Schenkier'
strange story SO credible that he sent
out detectives to seek the auto and
daring occupants. The other Reuben
did not appear at the station house.
