KELLEY ARMY
To MARCH0N
ROCK ISLAND
Plan is to Seize Arsenal, Equip
loaferS and Start a
Revolution.

Sacramento, Cal. March 17.-In a re-
markable report communicated to the
war department at Washington, Adju-
tant General Forbes of the national
guard of California has given official
cognizance to an alleged plan of Cen
eral KelIeys" unemployed army to
seize the federal arsenal at Rock Is
land, Ill, in order to equip the army
with arms and ammunition for a revo-
luton against the government
Forbes report is based on one made
BY Lieutenant Grimes of the Sacra-
mento company guard, who Joined Kel-
ley's army as a hobo some days ago
while acting as a spy on behalf of his
chief. The leaders, according to the
spy. believed they could assemble a
half million men at Chicago. command
the railroads and move on the arsenal
in force. Well armed, this force would
rush toward Washington and have the
federal government at its mercy. Then
there would spread a nationwide re-
bellion, working men against the en-
ployers of labor. which would depose
civil and military authorities and in
stall army leaders as supreme.

Petition in Behalf of Con-
victed Dynamiters is
Filed at Washington.
APPEAL TO PRESIDENT
Attorney For Men in Federal
Prison Holds They Did Not
Receive a Fair Trial.

Washington, d. c., March 17-Appli-
cation for pardon by Frank M. Ryan.
and II other labor leaders con-
victed in the "dynamiting cases" at
Indianapolis was filed today with the
department of justice by Attorney
Elijah Zoline of Chicago. The peti-
ton alleged the men are innocent and
that Judge Anderson did not give a
fair and impartial trial.
Zoline announced at least 20 men,
bers of the house and several senators
would appear before the department of
justice or President Wilson in behalf
of the convicted men. In supple
mentary letter to President Wilson, 70
line stated that special train to con-
vey the defendants to the penitentiary
at Leavenworth was ordered 40 days
before the verdict by the jury and that
the men were on their way to the
penitentiary an hour after sentence
was pronounced.
Charges Against Judge
He added that Judge Anderson dur.
ing the trial walked from his resi-
dence to the courtroom accompanied
by a policeman, many times in view
of the jury. Thus, he urged, the jury
gained the impression that state OF
lawlessness existed in Indianapolis. He
also alleged Judge Anderson, during
the trial, frequently consulted with
counsel for the Erectors' association.
To support the charges that Judge
Anderson ridiculed counsel for the de-
Tense, Attorney Zoline quoted trans
cript of the trial record where Judge
Anderson, in reply to Senator Kern OF
counsel for the defense, said he could
not control lot Of school boys"
