Plans for Great Dread
nouQht Are Still Missing

Washington, Dec. Is. = Missing
since March 4, the plans for the great
dreadnought Pennsylvania cannot be
located. This was admitted at the
navy, department tonight. Secretary
Daniels and his assistants hope that
they were destroyed as rubbish by mis-
take, and fear they are in the hands of
some foreign power with the secrets
they contained.
The plans disappeared from the bu-
reau of construction while the navy
department was open on the night of
March 4, in order that the friends of
the secretary might view the inaugural
fireworks. Secret service men and spe.
cial agents have searched diligently to
locate the thief or thieves, but have
failed. Every embassy and legation
everywhere have kept strict watch.
The plans showed not only the en-.
tire system of fire control planned for
the warship, including many improve
ments that had been steadfastly guard.
ed from every foreign power, but also
on the blue print was marked every.
where the electric wires penetrated
and the exact thickness Of the armor.

Chicago, Dec. Interpretations are

from the United States. Leaders esti.
mate that by next May more than 2O0,.
900 Norwegians will lhave left to visit
Norway.
The one hundredth anniversary of
Norway's independence on May II is

ties continuing several months. On
May II, 1914, Norway adopted its pres

every Norwegian social, fraternal and
religious organization. The Norwegian
Singers League Of America will send

ership of President julius lager Of
Chicago and Emil Biorn, musical d.

wick is at Tampico.
Mexico City, Dec. 13.-Two thou
sand federals at Tampico, protected by
the shells of the gunboat Bravo, more
than by their own efforts, were still
waiting late today the forward move
ment of rebels or some other maneu-
yer that would decide the fate of the
seaport. The fighting which began
two days ago, was then continuing,
and the best indications are that it will
last another day, or even longer.
How many rebels are engaged in
the attack on Tampico is not known,
but it is estimated the number is at
least twice the federals. Their op-
erations indicate they expect more
men from Victoria which lies between
Tampico and Monterey to the north.
The rebels are in possession of the
railroad yards and shops, large stores
of material and equipment actually
detched from their lines with suff1-
cient men to undertake the repairing
of the railroad north and west of Tam
pico toward Victoria.
Occasional shells fell in the heart
of the city of Tampico during the day.
to reports, the rebels have
not damaged property but the firing
endangers tanks and refinery Of the
Waters-Pierce Oil company. Trains
are entering Tampico from the west
over the drawbridge, which the fed.
erals are keeping open.
No rebels appeared on thas side Of
the city. Two train loads of refugees
were taken out of tn etown today.
Meagre reports indicate it is not un.
likely the federals, as long as the
Bravo has ammunition. will be able to
delay the capture of the town.

Denver Fights
Coal Embargo
RAILWAY COMPANY AND BUSl-
NESS MEN BUCK SNOW TO
SECURE COAL DELIVERY.

Denver, Colo, Dec. 16.-The city
of Denver has joined hands with the
local street railway company and the
larger retail commercial dealers to
relieve the threatening coal famine.
The result will be the lifting tomor-
row of the blockade on coal delivery
which has existed in many residence
sections since the snow storm of a
week ago. Tonight fiat cars on tram
way tracks hauled huge loads of coal
to depots in the residence districts.
The locations Of these depots has
been printed in the newspapers. III
order to relieve the stringency, the
city will temporarily rescind the Sec
ton of the franchise of the Denver
City Tramway company which pro-
hibits the corporation from carrying
freight.

Bismarck Com
inerCiaI Club
PRESIDENT FRED CONkLlN RE.
ELECTED - CLUB PROGRAM
FOR 1914.

Bismarck, Dec. 15-F. L. Conklin,
who has been the efficient head of the
Commercial club for several years, was
induced to again accept the position.
He has served in that capacity for
the last five years and has done much
to further the interests of the club in
the city.
For the coming year the club has
laid plans for a number of cam
paigns. The plan of soliciting for
subscriptions among business men
but once during the year, which was
undertaken last year, will be con-
tinued. The plan saves numerous
calls for charity and public purposes
on business men, saving them time,
money and annoyance, such matters
being referred to the Commercial
club for action instead of different
committees.
The new auditorium is expected to
be opened in January. The club will
undertake to secure a better work
and a more systematic method of
improving the country roads. A
special road fund levy has been
made by the county commissioners
of from $4,000 to $4,000, and the
club hopes to have the money ex.
pended Systematically and to get the
worth of the money in permanent road
improvements.
A number of social features and
ladies nights will be added to the
program of the club. The secretary
was ordered to learn il the Russell
Miller company had for sale their
idle -four mill in Bismarck, and If
so the club will undertake to find a
buyer for it.

Chicago, Dec. 15 = Two thousand

newly intranchised women may pro.

A statue of Abraham Lincoln is to be
given to Norway by the state of North
Dakota. What could be more fitting
than that the statue should be made
by a North Dakota boy? Paul Fjelde
whose home is with his mother on
Fifth Avenue will in all human proba-
bility be given the work. Many people
living here and in Fargo still remem-
Der Pauls father and are not sur
prised to see the great success he is
making in his art.
In recent years young Fjelde has
been one Of the most promising pupils
of dorado Taft, the noted American
sculptor, and his work has been con-
spicuously noticed by Chicago and
eastern critics. ....
Should Paul Fjelde be accepted by
the Lincoln state comission as the
sculptor for North Dakota's gift to
the Norwegian government, it is I'm.
derstood that it will doubtless be I'M
der the direct supervision of Mr.. Taft
himself, who has taken great interest
in his pupil and his career.
dorado Taft's famous works, which
have given him prominent place in
American sculpture and art, include
his statue of George Washington at
Seattle, his statue of Ulysses S. Grant
at Fort Leavenworth, Kan, The Soil
tude of the Soul, and The Blind at
the Chicago Art institute, The Foun-
tain of the Great Lakes, and The Eter-
nal Silence at Chicago, and the great
statue of Hiawatha overlooking the
Black River at Savanna, Ill.
dorado Taft is also known to art
critics as the author of the History of
American Sculpture. He was born in
Elmwood, ILL.,, in 1860, and graduated
at the University of Illinois in 1879.
Later he studied at the Paris Ecole
des Reaux Arts, where, in his last year,
he won the Atelier prize. In 1886 he
became an instructor in the Chicago
Art institute and later Joined the fac
ulty of the University of Chicago. He
was awarded a silver medal at the
Pan-American exposition in Buffalo in
1901 and gold medal at the Louisiana
Purchase exposition in 1904.
Surely young Mr.. Fjelde could have
no better schooling than in the studio
of such an eminent master, where he
had the advantage of working under
Mr.. Taft's personal observation. The
North Dakota boys work has Won fav-
orable notice and the Lincoln statue
commission could not probably secure
the services of better sculptor than
in this states own product, who will
have the advantage of Mr.. Taft's per-
sonal criticism.
At the meeting of the Lincoln statue
commission to be held at the residence
