SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. 25.-Ad- ditional arrests today of alleged ln- dustrial Workers of the World mem- bers increased to forty the number or men taken into custody here after the capture yesterday on a street Tn the business district of William Hood alias Frank S. Dougherty, alias Will jam Reilly, and G. r. Noetter shortly after they emerged from an express office carrying a box which the po- lice learned later contained dynamite.
 The arrest of Hood. and Voetter fol- lowed receipt by Chief of Police Ira Conran of information concerning an alleged statement by Hood that the explosion late Monday night at Gov ernor w. D. Stephens residence here was only the beginning. Chief Conran said he believed the arrests forestalled a plot to wreck the Pacific Gas and Electric company power plant with dynamite last night.
 Efforts of the police were centered today on an attempt to trace the movements of Hood and Voetter. Os- wald Blakely, an inspector of the city health department, according to the police. said Hood and Voetter re- sembled the men he saw last Sunday night at the capitol grounds.
 It was through the federal officials that Chief Cohran received informa- tion that Hood was wanted in Chi cago and Portland, Ore, in connection with alleged dynamiting plots. Among Hoods effects were papers which, ac- cording to the police, indicated that l he had been employed by the Pacific AGas and Electric company. The dyna'

TURKS NOW CARRY

 OUTSIDE JERUSALEM
:; Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON Dec. 23.-Since the Turks were driven out of Jerusalem, they have been conducting guerilla warfare to the north and east of the city, split ting up into numerous small bodies to attack British outposts, to snipe pa trols and generally to make themselves unpleasant, says Reuters correspon- dent at Jerusalem, telegraphing under date of December 15. To improve the British positions, the correspondent says, the taking of certain ridges has been ordered, so that there may be wider range of defense.
 "A remarkable opportunity to view this fighting is afforded by the Mount of Olives, which makes what is prob ably the most wonderful observation post in the world.
 "One of the most brilliant pieces of work during the recent operations was the capture of Bethlehem The Turks had strong Qualifications here with numerous field guns on the outskirts of the town. The troops which had been ordered to take the town deployed by night far to the left, threatening the | Turkish line of retreat and compelling ! the Turks to withdraw.
 Welsh troops then entered Bethle- ] rem at day break"

PEACE DELEGATES
 ARE NDW ENROUTE
 BACK TO PETROCRAD
Republican A.P. Leased WireJ

LONDON, Dec. 22.-"The Russian peace delegates are returning to Petrograd, according to reports at the Smolny institute" said a dispatch from the Associated Press correspondent in the Russian capital dated Friday and received here today. The message suggested no reason for their return and said nothing about the reported German rejection of Russia's terms. It added, however, that no definite news regarding the negotiations was being given out at the Smolny institute, headquarters of the Bolsheviki.
 The story of the recall of the dele gates and the rejection of Russia's terms has not attracted much atten- ton here. apparently from the fact delegations had not arrived at Brest- Litovsk when the report became cur rent.
 Meantime the conflict between the Ukranian Rada and the Bolsheviki commissiaries continues unabated. The Rada, replying to an ultimatum of the Bolsheviki, insists on creation of a federal socialist republic, embracing maXimalists and socialists The Rada declares itself favorable to settling bA peaceful methods political and na- tional questions, but asserts that il the commiSsaries assume the conse- quences of civil war it will accept the challenge and stop at no obstacles.
 One reason for the quarrel is tho Rada's refusal to permit breadstuff! to be sent to northern Russia in con sequence of the refusal by the com missaries to issue money. to meet tn, needs of the Ukranian government This stand, it is stated threaten eventually to starve the north, espe cially as General Dutoff's Cossack hold Chiliabinsk, thus preventing tn transmission of supplies from Siberia In the meantime the Ukraine has be | gun to issue it's own notes.
 | General Verkhovski. Kerensky' minister of war has offered his serv ices to the Ukraine government. Th reports of military movements in con nection with the apparently impendin clash include the arrival of Genera Dutoff with a strongly reinforce body of Cossacks at Ufa, where h suppressed Bolsheviki organization and continued his advance to Samar and Saratov. Orenburg is surrounde by Cossacks.
 Ukranian troops are said to be con
 centrated between Homel and Bakh matah, while Bolsheviki forces al
 gathering at Minsk.
 The maximalist troops trying
 reach Kiev were stopped by torn u
 railroad tracks.
 The Rada is said to be in complet
 control of Odessa and to have bee
 joined by the Black sea fleet. TT

 Prior to the distribution of pres ents, in the purchase of which many an American soldier dug deep into his funds, there was concert, for which a number of French singers from Paris volunteered their services. The programs were painted by famous French artists. These had been signed by Marshal Joffre, General De Castel- nau and General F'och. Two programs signed by General John J. Pershing, the American commanders in chief and others by American divisional com manders were auctioned and brought goodly sums.

 J. 0F WIS.,; 1906

FL PASO, Dec 23.-Charles H. Feige, the German who was shot and killed by a United States army patrol last night while attempting to elude the patrols and escape to Mexico, was a graduate of the University of Wis cOnsin as a member of the electrical engineering class of 1906, according to a statement which was found on his person today. A photograph show ing d wedding of a young fraternity man to a society girl was also found among his effects. A bank book showing deposits in a savings bank of New York were also found as were other papers and diagrams which were withheld by the army author ities pending further investigation.
 Feige appeared at Outpost No. 3, in the eastern suburbs of the city, yesterday and made repeated efforts to cross to Mexico, saying he wished to make some pictures for his per sonal use. He later approached two Texas Rangers in civilian clothes and asked them to aid him to get across the border into Mexico They refused and he made a dash for the Mexican side of the line at dusk last night disregarding orders to halt. The sen l try fired three pistol shots at him but missed in the growing darkness. An other opened fire on his with a high powered service rifle, the first bullet puncturing the spine and causing in stant death. The body was ther | brought back across the line by q Mexican woman driving a wagon.
 The German, who was g. years oid and perfect specimen of physical manhood carried a camera with hin when he attempted to cross. He alsC had valuable papers containing mii- tary information in his possession H. wore clothing made by a tailor at 42nC street and Broadway, New York, anC his shirt and tie were also purchascS there.

FEDERAL FARM LOAN BOARD WANTSFARM
 LOAN ACT AMENDED
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The fed eral farm loan board announced today that it advocates amendments to the farm loan act under which many pri- vate farm mortgage bankers may en- ter the government system as joint stock land banks. At the same time the board also gave warning that it expects interests seeking to break down the system to Tile a suit soon to test the constitutionality of he act.
 Amendments to the existing law which will be specifically recommended to congress in the boards forthcoming annual report are:
 To remove the present restriction permitting a joint stock land bank to do business only in the state where it is situated and one contiguous state.
 To permit a bank to issue bonds to the amount of twenty times it's capi tai stock. which must be $250,000 or more. instead of fifteen times, as un- der existing law; and
 To raise from to 61s per cent the maximum interest rate which joint stock land banks may charge on loans to farmers.
 Joint stock land banks would still be compelled to limit interest rates on loans withia one per cent more than the selling price of their bonds, even though the maximum were raised to 6la per cent. They also would have to compete with the federal land banks new rate of 51s per cent.
 Recent charges that the federal land banks are not self-supporting. based on the boards application to congress | for an appropriation of S100 000 900 a year for this and next year, with which the treasury might absorb any farm loan bonds not sold privately, were met by legislation that the average | impairment of the S750,000 capital with which each bank started si1 months ago, reporting government | stock subscriptions, amounts to pei cent or $45,000 each. This is more l than counterbalanced by farm .loar associations subscriptions to addi- tional stock, amounting to more thar $l,5O0,000, or about s125,O0O for eaci bank. Actual capital of all banks con | sequently is about $10,000,000, o Sl,0O0,000 more than their original cap ital furnished by the government
 Moreover, says the boards state ment. the volume of loans to farmer is increasing SC rapidly that "severa of the more active banks, if permitte, to continue their present rate O growth, will be able to begin the re payment of the government subscrip tions to their stocks inside of months
 Allowance for the fact that the farr loan system has been in full operation for only six months must be made says tie boards statement.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

PEORIA, H., Dec. 23.-E. A. Strause, president of the State Trust and Saw ings bank, today shot and almost in stantly killed Berne M. Meade, aged 37 years, cashier of the bank, in a fight in the bank said to have started over a proposition of Mr. Meade to buy the stock of MT. Strause. Strause declared he shot in self-defense.
 The bank will open as usual tomor- row, prepared to meet any demands made upon it.
 Joseph Well, counsel for Strause, made the following statement: We have every reason to know that the affairs of the bank are in no way affected by the homicide involved in the awful calamity. The trouble be- | tween the two men arose over the re- fusal of MT. Strause to put a price on ms bank stock, which MT. Meade l hoped to buy in order to elect himself as president
 After some words over such refusal 1 of MT. Strause, Mr. Meade assaulted him and in the struggle was beaten back. He suddenly fired two shots at the enraged man who was grappling with him in an effort to put his re- volver into a firing position Which | or how many of them struck MT. N0due we uO not Know. We only know that MT. Meade is dead and that MT. Strause acted wholly in necessary self -defense.'
 No one except the two principals was present at the death grapple.
 Friction had existed between the two men over the presidency of the bank. It has been of long standing according to statements of directors Meade, his friends say, was the holder of large interests in the bank. while MT. Strause, the president, held but SlO,0OO of the stock.
