KELLEYS ARMY
BACK OF REVOLT
Planned to Capture Arsenal at
Rock Island, Ill.
REPORT SENT WASHINGTON
100000 Unemployed Men Were to Mob
ilize in Chicago and Launch Re-
beIIion-Caiiforni officer
Discovers Plot.

Sacramento, Cal, March 19-In q
report to the war department in Wash
ington Adjutant General Forbes of the
cially recognized an alleged plan OF
General" Kelley's unemployed army
to seize the federal arsenal at Rock
Island, Ill. in order to equip an army
of 100000 men with arms and ammunl-
ton for revolution.
General Forbes report is based on
one made to him by Lieut.. Franklin
Grimes of a Sacramento company OF
the state guard, who joined Kelley s
army as hobo several days ago while
acting as spy on behalf of his chlef.
Lieutenant Grimes with a wealth
of detail told how he had gained the
confidence of the leaders of the I'M
employed, who divulged to him their
plot for capturing the United States
government. There was to be gath
ering of many armies at Chicago, 40
cording to Grimes, the men reaching
that city as best they might. The
leaders, according to the militia spy,
believed they could assemble 5OO,OOo
men at Chicago. Then, moving IN
force. they would attack and capture
the arsenal
Railroads out of Chicago would be
commandeered, said the lieutenant
and the unemployed force, well
armed, would be rushed toward Wash
ington, where it would at once have
the federal government at its mercy.
There would then spread nation
wide rebellion of workingmen against
employers of labor, which would de-
pose all civil and military authorities
and install the army's leaders as su-
preme.
Grimes declared his informants as
serted the movement was being con-
Quoted from the east, and that Kel-
ley's force was but one small unit IN
the whole. Among many other re-
markable statements was one that the
leaders were relying on the support
of a large Canadian contingent.
General Kelley, leader of the I'M
employed. laughed when he learned of
the report by Lieutenant Grimes.
81 am a patriotic American and
would never countenance such actions
as Grimes asserts the unemployed
contemplated" he said. There were
number of drug users we could not
get rid Of, and 1t is probable Grimes
got in with this element"
Only a handful of irreconcilabies
from General Kelley's army remain
in the camp on the Yolo levee, to
which the army was driven last week
by Sacramento deputies.
Rock Island, ILL.,, March 18.-Lieut
Col. George w Burr, commandant o.
the Rock Island arsenal, said his 15O
soldiers on the island, together with
the civilian guards, could withstand
for an indefinite period an attack OF
any unorganized mob. The machine
guns at the arsenal could be used with
deadly effect by very few men,
while the strategic position of the
island is such that it's capture would
be next to impossible.
'T could get refnforcements here
within twenty-four to forty eight hours,
and would be able to summon the en-
tire Sixth regiment, Illinois National
Guard within two hours" he added.

racy-Two Hundred Witnesses
Were Supoenaed.

Chicago, March 20-John F. Jelke,
president of the John F. Jelke com
pany, oleomargarine manufacturers
and eight associates in the business
were found guilty by jury before
Judge Geiger in the United States
district court Wednesday. Harvey P.
Mcfarland, the tenth defendant, was
acquitted. Mcfarland was shipping
clerk for the company.
The offense charged was that the
John F. Jelke company, of which Mr..
Jelke is president, sold uncolored oleo-
margarine to dealers. He also was
charged with selling coloring matter
which was used so that the "oleo''
might be sold to the public in col
ored form, that the government tax
of ten cents a pound on colored "oleo"
might be evaded.
The verdict of the jury found the
following guilty: John F. Jelke, pres
ident Jelke company; William M.
Steele, general manager; Francis M.
Lowry, secretary; Harry E. Htichings,
salesman; Hugh D. Cameron, Milwau-
kee representatives; D. B. Tullis, for
mer salesman; William L. Lillard, for
mer salesman; William P. Jackson,
Fred Rapp.
H. P. Mcfarland, a shipping clerk
employed by the Jelke company, was
acquitted.
Tears filled Mr.. Jelke's eyes as he
left the courtroom after the verdict
was read. He leaned heavily on an
arm of former Mayor Busse. Mr..
Jelke is fifty years old. Mr.. Lowry
also was deeply affected. He is sew
enty years old.
Motion for a new trial was filed
and counsel for the defense were
given three weeks in which to prepare
their arguments for the court. Each
of the convicted men faces a posi-
BILE fine of $4,000 and Imprisonment
in the penitentiary for two years The
government charged that the defend
ants had conspired to violate the law
taxing colored oleomargarine.
The time covered by the offenses
charged in the indictments was from
July 8, 1908, to July 8, 1911.
In 1910 various manufacturers sold
between twenty and thirty million
pounds of oleo in excess of the usual
demand for the uncolored product, ac-
cording to the governments informa
ton. 1t was charged that coloring
matter was supplied.
Mr.. Jelke and his associates were
indicted by the federal grand jury in
the summer of 1911, after the prose
cution of 40 retail dealers who col
ored white oleomargarine and sold it
without paying the federal tax.
Former Mayor Busse, former Sena-
tor William E. Mason and other
friends of Mr. Jelke attempted during
the latter part of the Taft administra-
ton to obtain a compromise in the
Jelke case. The request was denied
both by Attorney General Wicker
sham and President Taft.
Two of the defendants, o. S. Mar
tin and Abner D. Mize, were dis
charged. The government subpoenaed
I'm all nearly two hundred witnesses
for trial, of whom more than eighty
testified.

although but little active work has

William McCandIess, one of the best
known of Hawaii's kamaainas, was
laid at rest in the G. A. r. plot in
the Nuuanu cemtery yesterday after
noon, following services held at the
undertaking establishment of H. H.
Williams, at which David Cary Pc.
tiers, pastor of the Christian church,
officiated. The arrangements were in
charge of the members of the George
w. De Long post, and the services at
the grave were of a military nature.
A firing squad fired three volleys over
the grave, and a musician sounded
taps. A large number of the friends
of Mr., McCandless were in attendance
at the services, and many beautiful
fiorat tributes were in evidence.
