sion, headed by Elihu Root, spoke here
today and tonight and was accorded
veritable ovations on both occasions.

support.
Mr.. Russell was particularly severe
on profiteers, pacifists and pro-Ger-
mans. He advocated the summary re-
moval from the country of the latter.

PHOSPHORUS PLANTS
DISCOVERED IN CITY
Believed to Be Prelude of
Execution Of Threats
Against Northwest.

Mobrdge. S. D.. Nov. 21.-What ap-
pears to be wholesale plot to destroy
elevators and feed warehouses in the
northwest may be revealed after an
investigation is made of the 100000
fire at Lennon, S. D.. today when two
grain elevators and an entire business
block in the heart OF the city was
destroyed by fire supposedly of in
cendiary origin.
Phosphorus Plants Found.
Phosphorus plants were found in
several parts of the city and several
arrests have been made.
A vigilance committee mas been Or
ganized and is patrolling the streets
with orders to shoot all prowlers first
and investigate afterwards.
The city is also menaced by an eX-
tensive prairie fire from the north
west.
The fire in Lennon started in an
area way between the Palace hotel
and an adjacent building at 3:45 a. m.
A high wind was blowing and the
flames spread quickly to other build
ings until the entire block of business
houses was a mass Of flames.
One Unaceounted For.
Sixty-five guests in the hotel are
believed to have escaped, although a
travelling man from st. Paul was un-
accounted for late today. 1t is pos
sible, however, that this man left the

Much Grain Destroyed.

ously in the Farmers and the Western

and 10000 pounds of flour. The loss is
placed at $4,000.
Monday night the Empire elevator

are believed to have been of incendiary
origin.
