OFF FOR new MEXICO
Third Regiment Boys Depart Monday for
Deming Camp. Soldiers Leave Amid
Touching Scenes of Farewell.

Monday morning at 1000
o'clock the first train pulled out
of the Omaha station at Duluth
with the first section carrying the
Third Regiment of Minnesota to
the training camp at Deming,
New Mexico. The arrangements
at Duluth had been made for
leaving from three stations. The
Headquarters company, the sup
ply Company, the Machine Gun
Company, the Medical Corps and
Company E left from the Omaha
station, Companies A and G from
the 500 station and Companies F
and M from the Union station.
Fifty thousand people were on
the streets Of Duluth when the
departing soldiers left the armory
and marched to the trains led by
an escort of the nava, reserves,
G. A. R. and Spanish American
war veterans and the officers of
the regiment. The Third regi-
ment band, of which Alvin c.
Schaefer and Albert McMahan of
this city are members, furnished
the inspiring strains by which the
boys stepped out in martial stride
on their way to the stations. The
sight was an inspiring one and
the hearts of the onlookers Were
too full for enthusiasm. Silent
admiration was accorded the boys
and tears were the order in the
vast concourse. Among the
throng lining the walks and con-
gregated about the stations were
many Ely people who had gene to
Duluth to bid the soldiers fare
well.
Companies F and M were late
in arriving at the Union STATIC.

play was added to in Virginia
and Duluth. From Duluth was
sent the mo1Med deer with
locked horns prepared by Take
dermist Schaeffer Of this city two
years ago. Mr.. Schaeffer also
mounted the large moose.
Mayor Brozich Of this city had
in hand the preparation Of the
wild life display and in this he
was ably assisted by the other
members of the committee,
Charles Hoel of Eveleth, Philip
Ploof of Chisholm, David Foley of
Virginia, John Schaeffer of this
city and Thos. j. Storey of Du-
luth.

the world. The spirit of indepen-
dence bred in these boys makes
each man force in himself.
They are not machines fighting
because they have to, but fighting
for the glory Of his country, his
flag, his home and his honor.
Here every man is king and
every woman a queen. Man in
this country is measured by his
achievements and not by the blue
blood in his veins. The opposing
forces will realize this and the
Kaiser and his machine fighting
men will know they are fighting
when the American forces get to
the front. With the same me-
thodical thoroughness the soldiers
exhibited in cleaning up that nest
of enemies in Duluth will they
show up our enemies abroad. The
American soldiers will be among
the leaders IN the foreign battle
field and not very far from the
first line will be the Third Mime
sofa and its able officers.
In several Companies of the
Third Minnesota will be found
the names of Ely boys. We all
know them and know their worth.

The statement follows:
"The work of repairing and making
ready for sea the interned German and
Austrian vessels is progressing in an
entirely satisfactory way.
"The Maia and Armenia have been
made ready for sea. and have been al
lotted TO the French government; the
Portonla and the Nassovia TO the Rus
slams; the Clara Mennig and Pisa to
the Italians. The Ockenfeis is ready,

$4,000 Subscribed
To Liberty Loan
By Billy Sunday
Evangelist Urges $4,000 in
Tabernacle to Buy
Bonds

Billy Sunday threw a sdelight on the
state of his exchequer last night when
he nonchalantly told the $4,000 people
assembled in the Tabernacle that he
had subscribed $4,000 to the Liberty
Loan.
Billy, swinging into the last two
weeks of his campaign here, was shout
ing a plea for the Liberty Loan.
"We've staked our national honor on
this war;" he cried. you can't have
peace on earth until Prussianism is
gone If you turned hell upside down
I'll bet you'd find Made in Germany
stamped on the bottom of It.
Come on. folks, do your share. |
told my bank in Chicago 10 take an
even $4,000 worth of those bonds for
me- That's all that can afford" The
audience applauded.
"How many people in this Tsber-
nacle have subscribed TO the loan?
Just raise your hands" called Billy.
More than hundred men and women
waved their hands. Mr.. and Mrs. John
d. Rockefeller, jr., were among them.
"The man who tries 70 cross the At
lantic Ocean on a rotten board is
Solomon TO the gink who thinks he'll
get safe into heaven because he's been
good" shouted Billy. Hes as much
chance as jackrabbit in a den of boa
constructors trying TO teach them the
value of a vegetable diet. Come on
now, you people, and start run on
the bank of heaven. Don't wait till
you know all about the Bible. You'll
be in hell long before that. Nobody
understands that book. You don't have
to. Be wise and hitch your wagon to
a star. Don't back it over precipice
because you don't understand the laws
of gravitation."
There were $40 converts last night,
bringing the days total up to l,072.
About 400 youths stood up earl y in the
evening, when Homer Rodeheaver
asked how many in the audience had
registered. A greater number arose
when he called:
"How many here would have regis
tered if they weren't too old?'
A little girl presented Billy with a
bouquet of flowers from the Spanish
Evangelical Church of New York, and
the delegation from that church sang
in Spanish Brighten the Corner"

Arrest of IL More
Teuton Propagandists
Expected in Spy Plot

Arrest Of more than a dozen German
propagandists is expected as the result
of revelations of one of the men now
in custody charged with conducting a
clandestine postal service between this
country. Germany and Mexico. All have
been more or less involved in the ac-
tive German propaganda that somewhat
ceased with the outbreak of hostilities
between this country and Germany.
Documents duplicating several OF
those not yet arrested were seized by
the Federal authorities yesterday and
taken to the Office of Frank VI. Roosa,
Assistant United States Attorney. These
filled five suitcases.
So far as the Federal officials know,
the wireless outfits that these men sent
TO Mexico never got further than the
custom house at Vera Cruz, where
they were turned over to United States
officials and then reshipped to this
country. The chief and practically only
illicit service of these men was the
sending of letters destined for Ger
many by persons travelling on Scandi-
navian liners and by officers of these
ships.
The government officials believe that
they will be able 10 prove that these
letters contained naval and military in
formation concerning this country and
Mexico. Should it develop that this is
the case, the guilty ones will be tried
for treason.
One of the three men arrested Sun
day obtained bail yesterday. He is
Harry F. PERISH, the local representa-
tive of the Allgemeine Electricitats
Gesellschaft, of Germany. William A.
Duncan, his neighbor in Far Rockaway,
gave the $4,000 bail.

I She is a vessel of 1921 gross tons.
The following are due for commission
June 10: Dora (Austrisn), 1887 gross
tons; Ida (Austrian). 4,730 tons; Har-
burg 4.472 tons; Magdeburg, 4,497

$500 tons. The Adamsturm, of 5000
gross tons, is expected to be ready
June IS, and the Arcadia, 5,454 tons,
on June 20.
"The wor wiki go along steadily and
in July there will be another consid-
cradle addition TO useable tonnage, es-
timated as follows:
"Allemainia, 1880 gross tons, and
the Erny (Austrian) of 6,515 tons,

vania Of 1888 tons, and also the

tons is due July 10; Clara, 1882 tons,

the Bohemia of SAL tons July 30.
"In the case of the vessels already
referred to as having been assigned

suppose that the above estimated
schedule will be complied with and in
some instances gotten ahead Of"

Army Enrolment
Has Passed the
100000 Mark
New York State Gets Larg-
est Number of Recruits
for Monday
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, June army enlist
ments passed the 100000 mark yester-
day, when the biggest daily list Of re-
cruits-4, 201-since April 1 was report
ed TO the War Department. New York
reported the largest number of re-
cruits. The Empire State added GA to her
recruits, bringing her total to June a.,
inclusive, to 9,21S. This latter figure,
however, is but one-half the size of her
war quota.
Illinois and Pennsylvania reported
greatly increased enlistments. These
two states outrank New York in the
number of recruits secured, Pennsyl-
vania occupying first place, with 1890,
and Illinois second, with 1925. The
latter state is within about 1000 of
completing her quota, while Pennsyl-
vanis has yet to secure about 1000.
The states having the largest enlist
ments yesterday were New York, with
GA; Pennsylvania, 469; Illinois, 4S2;
Ohio, 1884; Massachusetts,, 303; Mis-
souri,, 20S; Michigan, 1866; Indiana,
1856; New Jersey, 1852. and California,
143. Montana and Idaho are each with
in fifty Of filling up their war quota for
the regular army. Delaware, with a
war quota of 404, has secured only
sixty-one recruits since April l, and
Vermont, with a quota of TO, has re-
ported only sixty-four enlistments.
Incomplete recruiting returns for the
National Guard during the last ten
days Of May show a substantial gain,
particularly among regiments not in
the Federal service, in which a net in
crease of $4,000 to 10000 men is indi-
Gated. In this period New York showed
a gain in enlisted strength from 2O,O92
to q ,754; Pennsylvania, from l1,525 to
1909; Wisconsin, 1882 to 6,087; Ohio,
5000 to 9,205; California, 1867 TO
$3.50; Minnesota, 1913 to 3,16l; Hi
nois, S,197 to s,s7S, and Indiana, $50
to 1929.
On this showing the aggregate
strength Of the National Guard should
be close to 100000 men, leaving only
about 10000 to be recruited to put all
existing regiments on war footing. At
the present rate virtually all OF the
regiments would reach full strength by
the time they are drafted into the Fed
eral armies, in July and August.
In addition, virtually every state is
making progress toward the organiza-
ton of the authorized new units of the
Guard.

Matzenauer Divorces
Her Tenor Husband
DespiteP ajama Abb
Fontana Entertained Girls in
Smoking Suit, Not Pa
jamas, He Testified

Although Edoardo Ferrari-Fontsna,
Metropolitan tenor, assured Justice
Donnelly that the sky-blue pajamas in
which he was said 10 have entertained
feminine acquaintance were mot paja-
mas at all, but an elegant smoking
suit" the justice yesterday decided
that Nine. Marguerite Matzenauer-Fon-
tana, contralto, was entitled 10 a di-
vorce.
Testimony concerning Fontana's en-
tertainment of "Lucci," described as "a
marvellously attractive Italian girl" at
the Quirinal Hotel, in Rome, was
largely responsible for the decision.
The evidence showed the tenor had ac-
companied "Lucci" and another girl to
the Roman hostelry.
They were nothing but two young
girls who had been intrusted 10 my
care by their families to bring 70 Rome
from another part Of Italy," declared
Fontana.
The discovery Of the nurse of Fon-
tana, jr.. in the bathroom of Fontans,
ST., by the maid of Nine. Fontana was
described to the court The nurse, it
was stated, was not dressed as conven-
ton or Nine. Fontana required.
THE attempt of the defendant" said
Justice Donnelly, "to make il appear
that the two young women taken TO the
Rome hotel-two girls who he said
were children under his care-were
fourteen or fifteen years Of age failed
utterly"
Fontana withdrew the suit for sep
aration which he had brought against
the contralto In this suit he COM
planned that Nine Fontana chided him
for his nti-Teutonic sympathies,"
which found expression in his offer TO
recruit a regiment Of his fellow coun-
trymen for service under the Stars and
Stripes.
Nine. Fontana will have the custody
of her child, but the tenor WAS given
permission to visit the child at stated
intervals

scending into the head OF bay hord.

Much coal all through this region.
Evidence of recent uplift of land on

ever, from 9th meridian on.
Reached Finlay Land April 19,
