BEM|DJI NAVAL
MILITIA A<v
SAIL ON w. ::
Local Tars Probably Will Get 0ppor-
tunity to Participate in Fleet
Maneuvers.
PLAN TO MOBILIZE
CORPS OF NATION
Minnesota Naval Reserves Included
in Plans Of Secretary
Daniels.

The Bemidji naval militia may
have a chance to work aboard a real
battleship and to take a salt water
cruise while the Atlantic and Pa.
cific fleets are maneuvering next
summer.
Commander Guy A. Eaton in Du-
luth yesterday issued a statement in
which he stated that the navy de-
partment has been planning for
some time to show Minnesota cadets
as we'll as others, what conditions
are like aboard regular battleships,
on the high seas.
"A salt water cruise is being ar
ranged for about 800 of the $50 men
in the state organization. The less
experienced men will remain here
and take the usual cruise on the
lakes" said Commander Eaton.
Calls for Mobilization.
Josephus Daniels, secretary of the
navy, recently announced plans call
ing for a mobilization of the naval
forces of the country and it is believ-
ed they will be approved by congress-
A fleet of reserve battleships will be
placed at the disposal of the naval
reserves and naval militia, if his
plan is adopted.
An appropriation of $4,000 will
be asked to cover the travelling ex-
penses of the militiamen of the Great
Lakes and other interior sections to
the seacoast to join in the mobiliza-
ton.
The old battleships Oregon, Kear-
sage and Kentucky are to be turned
over next month to the militia forces
of the Atlantic and Pacific for per-
manent practice ships at San Fran
cisco, the Kearsage at Boston and the
Kentucky at New York. These three
ships and the reserve pre-dread-
naughts, which carry the Annapolis
midshipmen on their summer cruise,
will make up the fleet, manned 40
per cent by regular officers and men,
and 60 per cent by the reserve and
naval militia.
The department also will turn
over five Of the older destroyers to
the naval militia of the South At
lantic, and Gulf coast.
Will Assemble Many Reservists.
In all, the department is asking for
S387,000 for the reserve, and militia
this year, and expects to get together
more than 4,500 reservists of both
classes out for the summer mobiliza-
ton. There are now 500 men in the
regular reserve and 5000 approx
mately in the naval militia.
The details of the plan which in
wolves the first peace mobilization
ever attempted by the navy, have not
been made public. Militiamen and
reservists from the interior will go
to the nearest coast point to be pick
ed up by the ships to which they are
assigned.

CHICAGO, Feb. l6.--Fire of sup
pcsedly inciadiary origin was dis
covered early this morning in the
city hall where chemical analysis
was being made of the poison found
I'm the room of Jean Crones. alleged
principal in the anarchistic soup plot
A quart bottle of oil was found in a
cloak room op the seventh floor Of
the building. The flames were
spreading rapidly when discovered
BY DR.. r.. NJ. Phillips. who was on
duty in the laboratory The blaze
vas extinguished by firemen With
only slight losses.
Health Commissioner Robertson
said the fire was admittedly strange
considering that the laboratory was
engaged in an examination of the
poison found in the room of crones.
A floor map of the city ball and
ether large buildings in the city was
found in Crones' room.
Anarchistic propaganda sa;ned
new impetus today in the United
States in alleged anarchistic plots
directed against Archbishop Mum
delein and his distinguished guests
at the University club banquet Thurs
day night is but one development of
the new anarchistic campaign.
These are the theories OF the au-
thorlties, both federal and city. as
they continued their search for
Crones today
"The activities of the reds have
been redoubled in the past few
months" said Captain of Detectives
Hunt today. We have known il for
some time and have been on guard. "
The search for Crones had prac-
tically narrowed down to Chicago
today The police have been placed
on guard around the homes of fifty
well known anarchists in the belief
that Crones is hiding in one of them.
It Is said that the arrest OF Alerto
Tamelli last night in New York;
the arrest at Milwaukee OF Marco
Donino. hotel Chef, and the arrest
at Piqua. Ohio. of Batiste Serafino,
ii part OF plan TO round up all tho
friends OF Crones. The authorities
admitted that they had not accused
any of the men. The nation wide
search for the friends of Crones has
produced scores Of letters indicating
plots in many cities.

Semi-Ofiiial Advices Say His Govern

sular Officials Are Not

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Infor-
nation, said to be authentic, has
reached government officials to the
effect that the Carranza administra-
tion is in desperate shape. Semi
official advices have been received
at the state department.
"The Carranza government, read
one of the messages, lis crumbling
fast; it is already gone in fact. 1t
is almost increditable of belief that
Carranza could have lost so much
ground in the past sixty days. The
whole Carranza construction of gov
ernment is disintegrating Many of
the Carranza consuls and interior
officers have only received their pay
spasmodieally for some time. At
least three consuls on the border are
far in arrears in office rents and
other expenses"
Washington state department of
ficials refused to discuss the situa-
ton. The information before the
government says that Mexico seethes
with threatened uprisings and only
a leader was needed to start a revo-
luton that would sweep the Carran-
"a government into oblivion.
