 in Federal District Court.

Portland, Me, March 25.-The re- moval of Werner Horn to Boston for trial in the federal district court on indictments alleging that he illegally transported nitro glycerine from New York City to Vanceboro, Me, was or dered by the United States circuit court today. Judge Wm. L.. Putnam who presides, declined to listen to ar guments by Horns counsel that the defendants attempt to destroy the in ternational bridge at Vanceboro, was an act of war and, therefor, political in character. He refused also to is sue writ of habeas corpus to pre- vent or delay Horns removal from the Jurisdiction of the Maine. court.
 Judge Putnam ruled that such a pe- tition should be made only to the United States district court, and that as he was sitting as a circuit court judge for a special purpose, he could listen to no other proceedings.
 The application, made by United States District Attorney John F. A. Morrill, asked for the removal of Horn to Boston for trial in the dis trict court there on three indictments charging the illegal interstate trans portation of explosives in connection With the attempt to wreck the inter- national bridge at Vanceboro.

AVIATOR NELSON AT WORK
 ON BIG GOVERNMENT JOB
Local Inventor Supervises Construction of 20 Sea
 Planes for Navy.

Nels Nelson, the local inventor and aviator, has been engaged by the Harr- imam Motor company of South Glas- tonbury to design and supervise the construction of twenty sea planes which are being made for the United States navy. The contract calls for the delivery of the first machine at the navy training camp at Pensacola Fla, May Is, and of one every two weeks following until the order is filled.
 The sea planes, which are a new type of hydro planes, will be propelled by special 100 horsepower motors built by the Hartman company and are so constructed as to carry two pas sengers. one the operator and the other the observer. They will not be finished at the Hartman plant, as the navy department prefers to look after the erection of guns and armor itself, this being done by a secret pro- cess. The machines will carry some new inventions and will be. capable Of starting and alighfing on the rough seas.
 Congress recently made an appro- priation of over a million dollars for the purchase of aerial craft. This money will be available after the first of July, so there is a probability of Nelson's being engaged to look af- ter the manufacture of more of the sea planes. However, his plans are to- take up work in connection with his submarine after he completes his present engagement.

GUESSING CONTEST IS ON;
 PICK YOUR COMMISSIONERS
Many Changes Are Said to Be Proposed in Various
 Boards.

Although no commissions expire
 lay is said to be considering a num-
 ber of changes in the municipal boards and while he has not divulged
 any of his proposed changes it is
 claimed that he has a good idea of 1 some whom he will select.
 If Mayor Quigley follows out his incIinations Henry s. -Tallard may be
 d member of the new police com
 mission when it is esta blished by the
 legislature. MT. Tallard is chairman cf the health commission and his term does not expire for TWO more years but it is believed that he could he persuaded to resign and accept an appointment to the police commission. The mayor is said to be firmly con- Ninced that MT. Tallard would make an excellent chairman of me police board as he has the necessarily quail 1ications of good Judgment and plenty of backbone. c. F. Smith, president of Landers, Frary & Clark, is also being considered for chairman of this board.
 If Timothy F. Burns. wno has been in poor health for the past gear, de- cides that he does not want another term on the health commission that will leave another vacancy should MT Tallard resign. Mayor Quigley is said to have expressed tne opinion that Judge B. F. Gaffney and P. F. King, both of whom are members of the board of finance and taxation. would make excellent material for the health board. 1t is probable that there will be a republican vacancy in this commission also
 1t is not believer that Mayor Quig- ley will reappoint F. W Pelton to the board of public charities. of which he is now chairman. There will be two vacancies to fill there as Richard Vogel has resigned. E. B. filling, chairman of the board of pub lie safety is claimed to be one of Mayor Quigley's selections TOT the new fire commission. While the water commissioners are elected by the council it is not believed that the mayor will extend any influence to secure a reelection for Chairman Charles F. Chase and Ernest N. Humphrey, president of the board of public works, is headed for the berth. according to gossip in City hall circles. If it is finally decided to have three assessors, one of whom will be per manent, August Burckhardt the veteran member of the present board will probably get the plum Changes in the board of finance and taxation gre rumored daily.

 Dr. Leibknecht has been ordered
 place himself at the disposal Of tu German military authorities. ThtG action was supposed 10 have been due to his action in the Reichstag on Sat urday in voting against the adoption of the budget. The Politiken stated that pr. Liebknecht was directed tO consider himself under the smilitary law and that he was prohibited from writing articles or attending political meetings except those of the Reich stag and landtag.
 pr. Liebknecht is perhaps the most widely known socialist in Germany. He frequently has protested vigor- ously against the war and was reput- ed in December lyast to be the leader of a secret German peace movement. Early in January he appealed to the newspapers and labor leaders to end the conflict. He had previously been disavowed by his party associates in the Reichstag, and a speech he made early this month in the Prussian Diet resulted in a protest from other parties. Soon after hostilities began it was reported that he had been shot for refusing to do military service.
