ARNOLD ''CLEW"
 INVENTOR AGAIN
 IN POLICE HANDS
Man Who Saw" Body Bur jed, Held in Jewel
 Case.

New York, April 12.-The police learned yesterday the identity of the man arrested Monday night after he had called at the home of Edward W. Humphreys, No. g East Sixty-fifth street, and demanded $500 for infor- nation which would lead to the re- covery of Jewels valued at $52,5OO, stolen from the Humphreys home on April 3.
 He is Octave Ginovces, alias Ed ward Glen Norris, or Glenorris, who was much in the newspapers last sum mer while a prisoner in the Rhode Is- land penitentiary. He declared then that he had driven an Automobile in which he said the body of the long missing Dorothy Arnold was taken by a wealthy New York man from a house in New Rochelle to West Point where it was buried in the cellar of house. The police investigated after Ginovces had been brought to New York in custody. They dug in the eel lar of the West fPoint house, but found no trace of a body.
 The identity of Ginovces, whose let ter to MT. Humphreys demanding $500 for his information" was signed Charles c. Glendon, was established when Detectives Moves and Leonard, of the Third Branch. who arrested him after a chase in Central Park, took him to Police Headquarters.
 Ginovces has a long police record. He was sent from Staten Island to the Reformatory in 1909. In 1915 he was sentenced to two years and six months in Sing Sing after having been con- victed of attempting to extort $500 from A. Rutledge Agnew, an artist On May Il, 1915, he was sentenced to eight months in prison and fined $50 for attempting to extort money from clergyman in Providence, R. T.
 After being released from the Rhode Island Penitentiary Ginovces enlisted in the army and was sent to Fort slocum. His identity was learn ed. however, and he was dishonorabiy discharged a week aeo. The police nabbed him then, and he admitted he had faked the Dorothy Arnold story and was released.
 According to the police, Ginovces admitted he knew nothing about the Humphreys jewel robbery, but saw chance to get money

 GETS GREAT
 WAR PLANTS

Washington, April 12-Secretary of the Navy Daniels yesterday designated Charleston, " Va, as the site of the government aImpr plate and projec- tile plantx
 Work on the projecHle plant will be started immediately and, the De- pertinent hopes. shells in great quantities will be in process of man. ufacture within ton months. Con- struction of the armor plate plant also ; win be rushed The government will spend $11,0o0,0o0 in building the plant
 Charleston was selected out of a total of 29 cities visited by the arm or plant board, which consisted of Rear Admiral Frank Friday Fletcher, Com- : mander F. H. Clark and R. B. Baken- hus, civil engineer. The board de. clared as a result of it's investi gations that the Pittsburgh district, long held
 most suitable as a location for such plants. was barred by various con- alterations.
 One Overhead Charge. This decision was approved by the General Board of the Navy and by Secretary Daniels For strategic reasons, the Army General Staff and Navy General Board had agreed the plant should not be located east of the .Appadachians or west of the Cas- cades or Sierra Nevadas nor within 200 miles of the Canadian or Med- can borders
 The armor plate plant and projec- tile plan.0are being practically com binen4 so that there shall be but l. one overhead charge in the operation of both.
 The projectile plant at the present moment Is more vital to the navy than the armor plate factory For this reason every energy will be con- centrated upon getting it into early operation.
 In announcing the selection Of Charleston, Secretary Daniels said:
 The selection of Charleston keeps faith with the people iby meeting every need. It's location in the heart~of the lAppalachians gives the necessary pro lection from invasive attack. Econ omy and efficiency are guaranteed by the accessibility of raw materials. V Charleston is the centre of coal fields having an annual output of so,- O00, 900 tons and at hand are extensive natural gas fields and crude petroleum areas. Basic pig iron is only 172 miles away and Bessemer about 60. Lime stone and dolon1ites are available To- cally, and the freight cost is low on ferro-chrome, ferro-manganese and nickel.
 The great Kanaw1a river offers ample water, and it is also possible for the government to develop its own rvater power. Two trunk lines to the east furnish quick movement of raw materials and finished products, and water transportation to the Gulf is also possible, all, at lower rates than those for competing cities.
 Charleston offers to the govern ment without cost the choice Of va rious eligible sites, and in addition to rh:s plant location exsenIds tae pick of several protected gorges admirably adapted for use as proving grounds"

STATEN DANGER, GOVERNMENT OF
 RUSSIA ASSERTS
Proclamation Places Pres ent Situation Frankly
 Before People.

Petrograd, April 12-In striking contrast to the secrecy and censorship of monarchial governments especially the government of the Car, the new provisional, democratic government here has just issued a proclamation telling the people openly and directly the present situation at the front.
 The proclamation sets forth that the country Is in grave peril from an attempt at decisive thrust by the Central Powers: that the regime of the Czar handled the situation so bad 1y that the defence of the country has been greatly weakened. but assures the people that Russia can yet suc- cessfully resist any attack from the enemy. In part the proclamation says
 z Having examined tho military sit ration the Russian government in the name of duty and country, has de- cided to tell the people directly and openly the whole truth.
 ..The regime which now has been overthrown left the defence of the country in a badly disorganized condi- ton. By it's culpab1e inaction and its inept measures it introduced disor- ganization into OUT finances, into pro yisioning, and the transport and sup ply of munitions to the army. It weak ened the whole of our economic or ganization-
 esThe provisional government, with the active cooperation of the whole nation, will devote all its energies to repay the serious consequences of the old regime. But the country still Is capable of powerful blow at the enemy, who o1:upies whole territories of OUT state and is now-in the days of the birth of Russian liberty threatening us with a new and deci- sfve thrust
 '@ThA government deems 1t to be It's right duty to declare now that free RnSsia does not aim at the donina- ton of other nations. at depriving them of their national paHmony, or at occupying by force foreign terri tories, but that its object is to estab- fish durable peace on the rights of nations to decide their own destiny
 ssThe provisional government of free Russia has no right to hide the truth The state Is In danger Every effort must be made to have 1t let the country respond to the truth when it is told, not by sterile dspressions and not by Encouragement, but by unani- nous vigor, with a view to creating a united rational will"
