WHOLESALE PLOT TO
BURN Ships, DOCKS
ONCOAST DISCOVERED
Guards Placed AT AID
Yards---SChOOner Burned
Last Night

San Francisco, Jan. 21.-Additional
precautions to guard the San Francisco
and Oakland waterfronts were taken
today following the breaking out of a
sudden mysterious fire on the steam
schooner Wahkeena, whose superstruc
ture burned to the water IS edge as she
lay in her slip this morning.
The fire was regarded as significant,
coming as it did Immediately on the
heels of information received in federal
circles of widespread plot by enemy
agents to wage a campaign of terror on
Pacific coast waterfronts. Nearly 200
blue jackets from the San Pedro naval
training station arrived at Goat Island
today to assist in the work of patrol
ling the front. Six men and a petty Of
ficer were placed during the night on
every large vessel in tho harbor.
The strictest measures to keep plot
ters off the vessels have been put into
effect. Nobody will be permitted to
board any ship unless he bears pass
or is able to establish his identity be-
yond question. Customs Officers and ma
val men are cooperating in this work.
All wharves are under close guard.
According to reports which cannot
be officially confirmsd, federal Off
cials have conclusive evidence that l.
w. w. agents are in gigantic plot
to burn ships and docks at many points
on the Pacific coast. The exact time
when the plot was to eliminate has
not been stated but 1t is supposed to
have been the latter part of January.
In addition to the activity of naval
and customs men, the big shipbuilding
companies on San Francisco bay have
also taken extraordinary precautions
Double guards have been placed at all
of these and police and fire reserves in
Oakland and San Francisco are in con
slant readiness to meet any emergency
that may arise.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Before thirty

ed today before the interstate com

Summoned before the committee to
explain further the proposed operation
of the railroads under federal control,
McAdoo declared the "holiday' prob
ably will not be necessary beyond the

At the same time, he startled mem
bers of tho committee with the dec
laration that between $1,000, 100000
and l,500,000,000 must be put into
the railroads by the federal treasury
to make them effective in the trans

duration of the war or for q fixed
time afterwards, McAdoo warned the

Washington, Jan. 21. - SLaator
Stone, Misscuris today denounced
Theodore Roosevelt, ON the floor of the
senate as g the most potent agent of
the Kaiser and the most seditious man
|of consequence in America.
In a speech bristling with scathing

demanded that the same rule be APP

terances as were applied in the case
of a private citizen Stone named,
who, repeated in minor degree
what Roosevelt had written. This man
was arrested.
Quoting literally from Roosevelt 3

ministration s conduct of the war;
Stone said:

with ambition and he runs amuck. On

put in Jail, because he said:

Petrograd, Jan. 21.-T6e crisis be.
tween the Bolshevili and the conser.
vative liberals was at hand today.
Dissolution of the constituent assem-
bly,, effected by the Trotsky -Lenine
government has brought to a climax the
violent opposition of the social revolu-
tionary party. The Bolshevili leaders
today freely predicted that their en-
emies are now preparing a campaign of
terror. They named former Minister Sa-
vinkoff with 150 men as leading this
counter-revolutionary movement.
Bloodshed was narrowly averted in
the closing of the constituent assembly.
The last few minutes of the meeting
were dramatic in their intensity. Armed
sailors poured into the hall and were
arrayed in groups in the aisles. Their
commanded demanded that Chernoff,
then presiding, quit the platform and
that the members of the right parties
leave the hall. Chernoff flatly refused
and heated argument ensued. Witnes-
ses today insisted it was only interven-
tion Of the Bolsheviki delegates them
selves that saved their political oppon-
ents from violence at the hands of the
Bolshevid troops.
Assembly's Last Act.
The final act of the assembly was the
formal proclamation of Russia as a dem
ocratic republic. The speech of Former
Minister Tseretelli was dramatic. He
was constantly interrupted and often
with violent abuse. His concluding pre-
grafton was a pathetic appeal to all
that the revolution be permitted to bear
fruit in the formation of a government
which would show solid front of all
classes Of the revolutionary democracy.
The Bolsheviki and social revolution
aries of the left, together with others
who favor pan Russian worlmen, sol
diers and peasants congress to take the
place Of the constituent assembly, were
working hard today to achieve this sort
of a law-giving body. The soviets COM
