AMERICAN HELD
AS SPY IN JAP AN
tBy Assoctated Press.l

Toxic, March Ralph Hoyt Thay-
er, formerly OF Utica, n. Y, who was
arrested recently on the charge OF
violating the law for protection OF
military secrets has been remanded
for trial and released under bond OF
500 yen. He is charged with having
entered without authority the wireless
station zone of Yokosuka, an import
ant naval station thirteen miles south
west Of Yokohama.
The case of Ralph Hoyt Thayer is
attracting considerable attention In
Japan. He has been imprisoned in
the Yokohama Jail, daily undergoing
secret examination at the hands OF a
preliminary magistrate.
The judicial authorities refuse to
make any statement concerning the
affair. but to say that Thayer was ar
rested at YokosulSa three nights after
Tsukuba at that port and he was at
once taken into custody for entering
q fortified zone without authority.
Thayer was a teacher Of English in
St. PauTs Episcopal college at Toxic,
an institution conducted by the Am
erican Episcopal mission. The
Episcopal mission appointed com
mittee to look after the interests Of
Thayer who informed the American
vice consul at 1OkOnALnA InAI ne
wished for nothing and was receiving
the best treatment from the japanese
police His friends express the opinion
that he was interested in the education
and conversion OF japanese sailors
and that he visited Yokosuka merely
to inquire whether any Of his
acquaintance had been killed in the
explosion.
Naval officers have been quoted as
saying that Thayer was not arrested
in connection with the Tsukuba ex-
plosion as alleged by japanese news
papers.
Concerning the destruction OF the
rsukuba and later a mysterious ex-
piosion In the chemical storehouse at
Yokohama which caused injury to q
hundred people and destroyed TWEEN

they were due to accidents. The
Tsukuba had recently been supplied
with new explosives and the ship it
self was closely guarded day and
night. The cause of the Yokohama
explosion has not been fixed. The
investigation is trying to determine
whether these two explosions were the
results of plots by agents of hostile
countries. -

SEES COAL SHORTAGE.
Grand Forks Man Thinks Next Yea

Grand Forks, n. D., March q
That there is a probability of a great
coal shortage next year, was the con-
tention of Leslie Stinson. local coal
dealer, in advising the members Of
the city council that IL would be inn
possible to obtain bids for the mu-
nicipaIity fuel supply for the coming
year at so early q date.
In an effort to lower the cost Of
stocking the city coal bins, the Grand
Forks aldermen decided to advertise
for bids this spring. but the movement
is now being discouraged by coal
dealers. Mr.. Stinson declared that It
would be impossible to give quota
lions on coal for at least two months
and even then the market would be
uncertain, due to the limited supply.

QUEENS WILL FORGED.
Instrument Is Purported to Have Been
Signed BY LiliuokaIani.

San Francisco, Dec PA purported
1917 will of the late Queen Liliuokalani
bequeathing the major part of her estate
to Princess" Theresa Belliveau, was
thrown out of court Friday by Judge
c. w, Ashford at Honolulu, who stated
from the bench that all evidence and his
own knowledge convinced him it was a
forgery.
Fam Kamskaia, a preacher, swore he
signed as witness to the late will in
his own home and not at the bedside of
the queen. H. Keakoha, second wit
ness to the purported will, gave similar
testimony in repudiating preceding af-
fdavits. kamakaia stated that the
princess" Theresa offered him the bride
of new church II he signed. A grand
jury investigation has been ordered.
A 1909 will of the queen, containing
a deed of trust in favor of Theresa Bel
liveau, said to be only distant relative
of Liliuokalani, remains contested by
Jonah (''Prince Cupid'') Kalaniandle,
delegate from Hawaii, on
the ground that the queen was mentally
at the time of its execution.

TO USE ARMY'S FARMERS.
Secretary Baker Considering Plan to
Cope with Labor Shortage.

Washington, Dec. 24.--Secretary Bak
err has plan to permit farmer boys in
the army to return to their homes at
periodical intervals to assist in crop pro-
duction. He outlined it Saturday to a
delegation of New York farmers, who
protested against conditions created by
the scarcity of labor.
Headed by |. c. Styver, the farmers,
representing the New York Federation of
Farm Bureaus, explained their Difficult
ties. They did not ask for exemption of
farm laborers, but suggested it would be
necessary either to exempt farm labor or
eonscript it. 1t was pointed out that the
crop of 1917 was short largely because of
inability 20 secure sufficient labor. This,
the farmers admitted, was due somewhat
TO the migration of farm lsborers TO in
dustrai centers, but the taking of men
from the farms into the army, ii was ex-
planned, made the situation worse and if
the crop of 1918 is to be at its maximum
some relief must be given.
The secretary told the farmers he was
studying plan to grant furloughs in the
spring and fall to boys from the farms
whose training had been sufficiently ad-
Nanced, on the condition that they would
return to their homes. A compulsory
leave from the army in order to assist
with the farm work, however, is no part
Of the plan.
