WOMAk'S HUSBAND
SUBSCRIBES FOR BONDS
Mrs. Stokes Has Been Delivering lee.
tures in Missouri Towns-CharSed
That the Government is for tho
Profteers and Cannot Be for the
People.

Kansas City. Mo, April 23.--Mrs.
Rose Pastor Stokes, lecturer and wife
of tho wealthy socialist, J. G. Phelps
Stokes, of New York, was arraigned
before Judge A. s. Van Valkenburgh
late today and entered a plea OF not
lguilty following her indictment by
federal grand jury for alleged viola
ton of the espionage act. United States
District Attorney Francis NJ. Wilson
asked that the trial be set as early
as possible and Judge Van Valken-
burgh fixed the date for May 20. Bail
was fixed at $4,000. which was fur
nished for Mrs Stokes by a surety
company.
Mr. Stokes, who arrived here yes
terday with his wife visited a bank
today and voluntarily subscribed for
$40 600 OF the bonds of the third LIB
erty loan. Mr. Stokes said he had
purchased bonds of both the previous
issues and that Mrs Stokes was a
subscriber to the first issue, she be-
ing at that time an avowed supporter
Of the government in its prosecution
of the war.
One of the causes contributing to the
arrest and subsequent indictment OF
Mrs. Stokes was the publication of a
letter over her signature sent by hec
to the Kansas City Star, In which
she claimed she had been misquoted
in an interview previously published
by that paper. The interview was OBJ
tanned when Mrs. Stokes was here for
an address before the Womens Dining
club. Following this she spoke in
several southern Missouri towns until
her arrest at Willow Springs.
In her correction to the Star she
said in part:
"a headline in this evenings issue
OF the Star reads: Mrs. Stokes for
government and against war at the
same time" am not for the gov
ernment In the interview that follows
am quoted as having said / believe
the governent OF the United States
should have the unqualified support
Of every citizen in Its war aims
81 made no such statement and /
believe no such thing. No Govern
ment which is for the profiteers can
also be for the people and am for
the people while the government is
for the profiteers.
II expect my working class point
Iof view to receive no sympathy from
your paper. but | do expect that the
traditional courtesy of publication by
the newspapers of signed statement
of correction which even our most
Bourban papers grant, will be eX-
tended to this statement by yours.
Yours truly, Rose Pastor Stokes"
All three counts of the indictment
against Mrs. Stokes were based on
this letter, Mr.. Wilson said, and he
also had before the grand Jury wit
nesses telling of her subsequent ad-
dress and statements made by her
supporting and ampl.fying the views
she set forth in the latter, he said.

Washington April 23.-American
nayaI ulh. ets await eagerly the ful
story OF the successful trench-Briti5n
naval blow against the German de-
|strOyer and U-Doat bases ON the BEL
gian coast. The impression prevails
garding American naval preparations
lhat a carefully planned naval often
sive against the U-boats has begun
whlcu As to he pressed vigorously until
he under water raiders are bottled
up or checked to such an extent that
their operations will no longer be a
serious factor. There is nothing to
indicate that the navy department had
amy advance information as to the op-
crations at zeebrugge and Ostend. It
is known, however, that officials here
nave been anticipating developments
in the anti-submarine warfare within
the next few weeks that would es-
tablish a definite check on the u
loats. American cooperation in this
effort is being extended in various
ways which cannot be disclosed
1t has long been the belief of many
Officers here that much could be done
toward bottling up the U-boat5 at
their sJurce-their bases on the Bel
Pian coast. The means to this END
suggested nave been many, including
mine fields, increased numbers ot
light surface craft, new detection de-
vices, aircraft and submarines. All
.of these and other elements enter
into whatever plans of the naval su-
preme council mas been formed. The
raids on Zeebrugeee and Ostend We're
put through with a dash and enter
spirit OF the allied naval forces and
the eagerness of officers and men TO
get into the fight
1t was suggested today that the
recent raid against trawlers by Brit
lsh ships was a part of the general
plan for aggressive action. The Ger
man light craft were engaged in mine
sweeping. BY their destruction the
German U-boats and heavy craft were
excluded from the portion of the sea
where the engagement occurred until
other ways to remove the mines could
be provided. Presumably the allied
naval forces now are preparing to
mine the Belgian and German coasts
thoroughly backing up the mines with
a guard of heavy ships to beat Off
the German fleet should it come out
and with numerous smaller craft to
drive off or destroy mine sWeepers
that attempted to clear the way for
Iother naval craft
If the channel was not completely
closed at the first attempt, further
efforts are to be expected.
Some officers thought it proabble
that the Germans had removed some
of their shore batteries for use in
the fiahtin2 in Flanders This might
have caused the allies to move Just
at this time and account for the
holiness OF the operations =
Since the raid shows the German
coast defenses are not inyulnerable. to
some officers this action Is looked
upon as foreeosting the possibility Of
an attempt TO force a 1anding in the
rear OF the German line. thus turn
ing the flank of the whole C,erman
position IN Flanders. That possibility
has been discussed widely ever since

San Francisco April 23.-Ram
Chandra, Hindu publicist and revolu-
tionist, was shot dead here today IN
the United States district court where
he was on trial, by Ram Singh. a for
mer employe, and fellow defendant
While Singh still pulled the trigger of
his automatic pistol, he was shot dead
, in turn by United States Marshal
James B. lIolohan, who fired across
the court room.
Belief that Pam Chandra had di-
verted to his own use proceeds from
property which Ram Singh had turned
over to be used for aiding revolution
airy measures is said by federal Off
cials to have prompted the shooting.
Both men, with thirty others, were on
trial on a charge Of conspiring to TO
ment revolution in India. The case
went to the jury tonight.
Ram Singh chose for his vengeance
the closing hours of a trial which
started November 90 last, and has
seethed with excitement and animos-
ity among the defendants ever since
to such an extent that all were search
ed for weapons daily when entering
court
United States District Attorney
John w. Preston had finished his clos-
ing argument which Mrs. Preston was
present to hear. Judge William Van
Fleet, announcing that he would
charge the jury in the afternoon, had
left the bench and entered the cham
bers and spectators and lawyers rose
to leave the room.
At one side of the bar sat the de-
PENDANTS clustered together and at the
opposite side by the jury box Mar
shall Holohan watched proceedings.
Ram Chandra rose and started
across the room. Ram Sigh also rose.
raised his pistol and began shooting.
Ram Chandra staggered forward and
fell dead at the base OF the witness
chair with bullet in his heart and
two others in his body. At the same
moment Ram Singh fell Holohan, a
man of great stature, had shot once
with his arm high over his head so
that the bullet should clear nearby
sounsel. The shot broke Ram Singh's
neck.
Soldiers, who have been on duty in
the court since the trial opened, I'm
mediately blocked the exits. Judge
Van Fleet hurried back into the COURT
room, ordered all defendants taken
into custody and the courtroom clear

which developed he said at the after
noon session Of court, that Pam Singh

Twenty-Fourth Year In Business
With January Clearance Sale.
Readers Of the Review Ought to Peruse
These Four Pages Very Carefully

The Boys store Is using four full
pages of space in this issue of the Re-
view to announce their twenty.fOurth
annual January clearance sale. The
gale will continue throughout the
month OF January and their Immense
stock has been specially priced for
the event.
This annual sale of "Denison's Popu-
lar Store" is an event which is always
looked forward to by the people of
Denison and vicinity for they have
come to know that they can purchase
dependab bic merchandise at q real say
ing during this sale. The owners of
the Boys store are sound, conservative
business men and they scour the mar
kets for merchandise of the best quail
ity which they are able to guarantee.
They buy in quantities that enable
them to purchase merchandise at bot
tom rock figures and at their January
clearance sale: prices are reduced so
that their customers are able to save
considerable.

Messrs. Frank Pfarr, Hugo Gebert and

store in the Laub block in the room

Crawford, Orders Electric Light
Plant Shut Down After Midnight
LIBRARY OPENED FOR ONE DAY
Coal Dealers Report Shortage Of
Fuel of Acute Nature-Patrons
Supplied Few Pounds at Time.

The prediction made by the Review
last week that Denison folks might be
called upon to observe lishtless nights
as we'll as meatless and wheatless days
is now reality in part. Last Thurs
day J. H. Patterson, the local fuel ad-
! ministrator. ordered that the night SER
vice of the municipal light plant be
| cut down in order to conserve fuel
and the city council held meeting
and decided to shut down the plant
from midnight until 5 o'clock in the
morning.
Many Of the merchants arc not at all
pleased with the new order. They
feel that their places of business are
in jeopardy of fire Or burglary. but
are making the hest of the matter new
ertheless. With the electroliers cut
off in the evening there is barely
enough light for pedestrians to find
their way along the streets. Dcnison
presents the appearance of Il back
woods city.
There is not the slightest doubt but
what there is a shortage of fuel. The
city Is only able to secure enough coal
to keep the plant in operation without
reserve supply. Today there are two
car loads OF coal at the municipal
plant, one Of which came this morn
ing While the city officials have prom
ises from the mines for Il sufficient
amount OF coal to give twentyfour
hour service, delivery is so slow that
it was deemed wise to curtail the ser
vice for time at least
Patterson, so we understand. has
requested that the Carnegie library be
closed with the exception of one day
each two weeks. This will permit peO
pie to secure books ut the library and
return them. The library committee
will hold a meeting today and come to
decision in the matter.
Local coal dealers report a shortage
OF fuel that is most acute. There is
not a pound Of coke or hard coal on
hand and the supply OF soft coal is
ineager Patrons nre being supplied
with only few hundred pounds at Il
time and in this way dealers hope to
be able to keep all supplied. One local
coal dealer found last week that he
could secure two tons of hard coal at
Schleswig and a motor truck was sent
up there for the black diamonds. There
is great demand for wood and farm
ers who have a supply of this for sale
should notify Mr.. Patterson.
