ANOTHER ARREST IN
 DyNAM|T|NG PLOT

Junction City, Kan, December lo.- Trumpeter John Grille of Battery E. Sixth Field artillery, was arrested late today in connection with explosions and fires at Fort Riley, which cost the govern- ment s1,OOo000. Grille is the Sixth soldier arrested since the investigation follow ing Private Michael Quirk's confession that he caused the explosions at the 1h- stigation of the Rev Charles M. Brewer, ex-chaplain at the fort.
 The arrest of Grille and the release or Mrs Anna Jordan at Kansas City be- fore a deputy United States marshal ar rived there for her, were today's develop ments Commissioner Chase said ne would have a warrant issued at once for Mrs. Jordan's arrest and would have II served through the United States mar shars office at Kansas City. The lew men who could be induced to talk or the explosions today declared that Fort Riley had been for nine months as near state of terror as a well disciplined army post could get. Not only were there frequent incendiary fires but or ficers had received frequent letters threat ening them with death and the fort with destruction.
 Night and day since early last spring Fort Riley has been under more than
  constantly at the homes of the commis- stoned officers and guards have spent each night in the cellars of these homes to frustrate possible plans to destroy the houses by dynamite.
 The biggest loss resulted when the S250OOO quartermasters' storehouse was burned on the night of March IA. Another fire followed on March 20 in the cavalry building but the loss was small.
 June an attempt was made to burn building housing soldiers. Guards placed around the mess room perhaps saved many lives by preventing the car rving out of plans to wreck this build ing.
 The government bridge across the kaw river was dynamited on the night Of June "A.
 No troops were in the fort when fire destroyed the troop stable and killed 21 horses on June 2s. The troops had been ordered on a forced march.
 officers are firm in their belief that the plotters planned to cut the fort off from water when they blew up water main on the night of August g. The attempt was only partly successful. The fort was left without water one day.
