WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. IL
Showing how Russia is larger than

with the islands of the Caribbean

After giving an impression Of the

gives the Palm Beach touch to its

varying aspirations OF us peoples,
which differ as greatly as those of
the Poles and the Mongols, as those
Of the Confucians and the Jews, as
those of the Tartars and the Lapps
and of the vastness of the geographic
limits of the empire, Mr.. Grosvenor
says:
But with all its geographic great

smallest countries of the earth
Holland could be hidden in the vast
reaches of the Russian plain, almost
as a needle in haystack, yet Amster.

v. WIS CHARGED
WITH DYMAM|T|NG

Fire which destroyed the Nevada
theatre and sixteen homes at Tono-
pah on the night of October 29 was
the work of Boris Thomasen, H. 4.
McGucken and Roy Russell. all In
/ dustrial Workers of the World, &C.
cording to a confession which the po-
lice say Thomaser made at Tonopah
before three witnesses. He and his
| alleged accomplices are charged with
arson, and the police are seeking to
connect them with the recent dyna-
hitting of the Tonopah Bonanza Of
fee and with the burning of some
mine houses in Goldield last week.
Interest in a woman's suffrage
campaign, according to Thomasen's
alleged confession, was used to cover
the arson plot here. Choosing a
night when an anti suffrage speaker
held a meeting al the theatre, they
stuffed phosphorus-soaked rangs in
to a corner at the conclusion OF the
speaking and fed.
Tonopah has been a center for l.
w. w. disturbances for years. Nc
Quicken is said to be a national or
ganizer for them, and Russell was
active in a free speech campaign in
San Diego some three years ago.
Chief of Police Evans. Special
Agent Hewitt of the Southern Pacific
company. with headquarters at
Sparks. together with detectives who
have been working on the case,
brought about the arrests. Thomas
sen, with four others. had boarded
a freight train at Thorne. in Mineral
county, and following their arrest.
were taken to the jail at Hawthorne.
where they we're placed in a cell.
Meantime, 1t is said, a ~dictagraph had
been planted by the detectives, and
when Thomson told to his compan-
ions his story of the Tonopah fire
story was recorded.
Thomassen was then faced by the
officers, who convinced him that
they had the facts and he is said to
have made a clean breast of 1t all,
duplicating McGlucken and Russell.
According to Thomassen's confession
Thomassen started the fire with yell
low phosphorus wrapped in a damp
rag which was placed with shavings
and tissue paper.
Russell. alas Jack Whythe. is said
to have a brother serving a life sem
tence in Siberia for murder. He is
a Russian by birth, spent five years
in Hamburg, Germany, and is alleg-
ed to have been in Jail at Wheatland
last summer during the troubles in
the hop fields.
