PLANT IN MICHIGAN
DESTROYED BY EXPLOSION
Fire Follows With Damage OF
Hundreds of Thousands
of Dollars

MARQUETTE, Mich, Jan. 29.-An eX-
plosion followed by a fire early today
which destroyed the alcohol refining
plant, the primary building and Sc
ries of condensers of the Pioneer Iron
Furnace company, owned by the Cleve-
land Cliffs Iron company, of Cleveland
Ohio. caused damage estimated at $780,
600.
First reports of the explosion said a
number of lives had been lost, but at
daylight it was believed there was no
loss of life and that only two men had
been injured, although the casualty list
cannot be definitely determined until
the company rolls have been checked
over.
For a time the fire threatened to de-
stroy the entire plant, a portion OF
which is employed in manufacturing al
cohol and the ground chemicals OF eX-
plosives for the United States and the
allied governments, but after a two
hours fight the flames were brought
under control. The plant, which covers
several acres of ground, is situated
1-2 miles from this city.
The police believe that the explosion
was caused by an incendiary, but the
officials Of the company declined to ex-
press an opinion as to the cause.
At 10 O'Clock this morning company
officials said there was no loss of life
in the explosion. That there was no
serious loss of life probably was due
TO the fact that most of the employees
in the alcohol refining plant were in
the boiler room eating lunch.

j. s. AMBASSADOR
FRANCIS IS TARGET
OF RUSSIAN THREAT
Anarchists Declare They viii
Hold Him Personally Re-
SponSibIe for Liberty of Alex
ander Berkman

WASHINGTON, Jan. SO.-Ambassa-
dor Francis a. Petrograd cabled the
state department today that group OF
Russian anarchists had notified him he
would be held personally responsible
for the safety of Alexander Berkman
and Emma Goldman, under prison SEN
tence in the United states for violating
the draft law.
PETROGRAD, jan. --(Delayed.) }
An ultimatum declaring the American
ambassador would be held personally
responsible for the life and liberty of
Alexander Berkman" was forwarded to
David r. Francis by the anarchist group
of sailors and workmen at Helsingfors
today.
The I.ussian terrorists have been
deeply interested in the prosecution in
the United States of Berkman and En-
ma. Goldman, the two American red
leaders for conspiracy to defeat the Sc
lective service law. COincideutally with
news of this action from Helsingfors
came word of Bolsheviki successes in
putting down the revolution in Finland
The PetrogTad agency quoted Foreign
Minister TrotZky as writing the Fin
nish senate, stating he favored with
drawal of Russian troops from Fin
land. Trotzky asserted that counter
the Bolsheviki red guards, forcing the
latter to defend themselves.
David Il. Francis, American ambassa-
dor to Russia, is a former governor of
Missouri, a former secretary of the in
terror (under President Cleveland) and
president of the ST. Louis Centennial
Exposition of 1904. He is one of the
best known Missourians and was ap-
pointed American envoy to Petrograd
March 6. 1916. Francis is sixty-eight
years old.
Alexander Berkman for years has
been a leading exponent in the United
States of anarchy and direct action"
methods. He has been almost constant
~ in trouble with federal, state and
municipal authorities for his bold es-
pousal of those beliefs.
At the present time Berkman faces a
prison sentence for conspiracy to defeat
the selective service law. His appeal
to the supreme court of the United
States was rejected.
Berkman and Emma Goldman, the lat
ter known as the queen of the reds, "
publish Mother Earth and other anarch-
istic publications They have frequent
ly been charged with participation in
bomb plots and Berkman a number of
years ago was convicted of an attempt
on the life of Henry c. Frick
Distinction should be sharply made be-
tween the anarchists and Bolsheviki.
Helsingfors is in Finland about $50
miles distant from Petrograd. Copen-
hagen dispatches yesterday reported the
citv captured by the Bolsheviki from
the Finish counter revolutionists.

all such mills Chose operating under
hydro-electric power) to shut down on
Mondays prescribed in the order"
The kilograms, says Dr. Hardman,
pointed out that it is most important on
transporta ation" that the mills shut down
and concluded by saying: I'VE do not
believe mills can operate burning only
sufficient coal to prevent freezing"
On the strength of this, said DR.. Hard
man. in view of the fact that the ma
tional administration had expressed the
desire that mills using hydro-electric
power shut down" and had stated that
such a step was most important on
transportation" he ruled that they must
close, believing i'll the light of the tele-
gram, that such was the wish of the gov
ernment.
The official announcement that plants
may operate without fuel was made fol-
lowing a conference in Washington Wed
nesday afternoon between DR.. Garfield
and a delegation of Georgia mill owners.
DR.. Garfield explained that the hyro-
electric mills would be expected to store
that portion of their products manu-
factured on Mondays during the period
embraced under the closing order. This
precaution is taken as a measure to
prevent congestion of freight traffic
which is one consideration influencing
the fuel administration to designate
"fuelless'' Mondays.

the stand in superior court here that
her husband, Homer Ragan, had sold
her to a man in Ljndale. by the name
of Jeff Henderson, for SIS, Mrs Ragan
created a sensation in the habeas cor
pus proceedings brought by her to Oh.
tain possession of her children.
She told a dramatic story of alleged
i'll treatment at the hands of her hus-
band, which eliminated in his selling
her. She swore that when she learned
that she had been sold and had seen
the check Henderson gave her husband
she left him. She tried to see her chill
dren. but was turned away, she said.
Other evidence in the case. however
caused the court to permit Ragan tc
keep the children, many witnesses tes-
tifying to his being a hard-working man
who well supported the children. Aside
from the wife's testimony, the evidences
all tended to show that the husband
should retain the children.
