PLOT IN CHINA IS
NIPPED IN THE BUD

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 27-An up
rising of Indian troops which had for
It's object the massacre Of all the white
population of Hong Kong, China, as
they came out Of the churches was
stopped only a few hours before It was
to break, by the arrest of forty-two In
dians, according to passengers who ar
rived on the steamer Nippon Maru
yesterday. A chance remark dropped
by one of the conspirators, clerk in
the French consulate at Canton, is said
to have led to the detection of the plot,
which was to have been carried into
effect nine weeks ago Sunday
Each conspirator was found to have
in his possession twenty-five English
sovereigns, the same amount found on
the Singapore mutineers several
months ago. 1t is charged that the
money was furnished by a German
banker in Hong Kong.

CALF FORN|A NOT
FAVORABLE TO THE
JOHNSON PROGRAM
PROGRESSIVE" PRINCIPLES ARE
TURNED DOWN BY THE voT-
ERs AT ELECTION.

San Francisco, Cal. Oct. 27.-Re-
turns available early today from yes
terday's general election indicated
that the proposition to make all state
Offices non-partisan had been defeated
by majority of about 10000. Nine
constitutional amendments met SIM
liar fate from an apathetic electorate,
the vote having been remarkably light.
The defeat of the non-partisan
measures, against which the referend-
llm was evoked after they had been
passed by the legislature last spring,
caused great surprise. They were
the principal measures advocated by
Governor Johnson at the legislative
session and in their support he con-
Quoted a vigorous campaign. Com
:nenting on their defeat Governor
J Johnson said:
The results show that those who
have advocated non-partisanship are
Just little ahead of the times.
"Non-partisanship would have COM
pleted popular rule in California and
would have lodged in the people the
last remaining power as we'll as re-
sponsibility for. their government. We
have been unable to make this plain
and non-partisanship in state affairs
has been defeated"
Political opponents of Governor
Johnson asserted that the outcome Of
the election was a personal rebuke to
him.

The authorities we're informed and
the two were seen about $3.50 by

Burlington depot. He shot at them but
was unable to catch the pair, who took

took them into his car and brought
them to the Jefferson county Jail where

1t was reported today that after
Breitung had been taken into custody
of the federal authorities they would
make further disclosures indicating
that the conspiracy was the most seri.
GUS plot uncovered in this country
since the war began.
No "Higher Ups" In Cass.
None Of the federal officials would
admit that any person higher up in
inc conspiracy were sought, despite
reports that Fay and Walter Scholz
were acting under the direction of
superiors.
Paul Sieb who has been living in
New York under the name of Karl F.
Opegaarde since last February and
who acted as broker in the sale of
some Of the explosive ingredients sold
to Fay is quoted today as saying that
two months ago Max Breitung asked
him to buy $50 pounds of potassium
chlorate. Sieb said he sold the chem
ical to Breitung for $110. Two weeks
ago, he said, DR.. Herbert Kenzle ask
ed him to buy 100 pounds Of trinitro-
toluos for Fay and that DR.. Kienzle in
trnduced him to Fay. He said that
he obtained $50 pounds OF the chemical
and sold 1t to Fay.
Chemical Plant Threatened.
Fay admitted he wanted to blow up
something with the T. N. T. but he
did not mention destroying ships at
sea-" said Sieb. HE said he wanted
to blow up the main chemical plant in
this country which was supplying q
certain acid to the manufacturers Of
high explosive shells. He said they
would go to this plant at night when
no one would be there and so no lives
would be lost. I know now that it
was a fake story told for my bene-
it,"
The plot became known to the
authorities when the man from whom
Sieb bought his chemicals reported
tho purchases Of explosives to the
French naval attache here and he in
turn notified the police.
