PLOT DISCOVERED
 10 KILL WILSON
Pietro Pierre, an l. W. w., Chosen by Anarchists as the Assassin-Mc- Adoo Also Included-Loyal Ital-
 ian Convicts Reported Affair.
From the Kansas city star.

From the Kansas City Star.
 Kansas City, Feb. 12.-The loyal ty of two Italian convicts, serving terms at Leavenworth, led to the ar rest in Cleveland yesterday of Pietro Pierre and the disclosure of plot duplicating a number of anarchists who are charged with conspiring to kill President Wilson upon his re- turn from Europe, and later to mur- der William c. McAdoo, formerly a central figure in the Wilson War Cab met.
 The name of one other man con- nected with the plot was made public yesterday by Fred Robertson, United States district attorney for Kansas, where a complaint for Pierre is on file. This man is R. L. Bobba, now serving q sentence of one year in the federal prison at Leavenworth for his connection with the 1. W. W. ac- tivities. He was sentenced in Chica- go, but was one of the lesser members of the gang.
 Selected as Killer.
 Pierre was selected by the anarch- ists to perform the actual act of kill ing the President, according to the charges, and when released from the prison at Leavenworth in October he went directly to the I. W. w. head x,.a,~faro ;n Tb;caoo onI ,,xos o,, bic way East when arrested. Just what means was to be used, the secret serv- ice men have not disclosed, nor will they disclose the names of any others in the plot except Bobba, who still has several months to serve in the prison.
 The discovery of the plot was pure Iy accidental. At first the government agents did not credit the information, but when they made further inquiries and had shadowed Pierre for several weeks, they became convinced that the story was true and determined to make the arrests.
 The story of the disclosure is the story of two patriotic Italian prison CTS who had at heart the cause of the United States and of Italy. These were the cellmates of Pierre and to them he confded his secret. He was released in October after serving a short sentence for making speeches against the draft act in the mining camps of Michigan. After his release the two loyal convicts sent note to the warden asking that they be per mitted to see him and when they were taken to the prison office they told of the plot.
 Pierre" they said, "has gone to Chicago to receive his final orders as to where and how he is to kill Presi- dent Wilson,"
 The warden was astonished and at once demanded to know the entire story. Then they told how Pierre had told them he was a member of a gang of l. w. W. anarchists who had deter mined to 'rid the people of Wilson and McAdoo" "Bobba," they said "also belongs. He bring the message to Pierre that when the lots were drawn Pierre was chosen to kill Will son. If he get away he kill McAdoo If he no get away he leave it to next one.n

ALL QUOTATIONS OFF
ON KANSAS GOATS

KANSAS CITY, April 81 (by Asso-
ciated Press) Daily Geographic quo.
tations on goats have been ordered
from here by the government, owing
to the greatly increased Importance
Of this branch of the livestock in
dustry 1t is estimated that the Kan
sas City market, the largest in Am
erica and perhaps the largest in the
world, will be received 5000 goats
daily by May 1.
The goat tastes very much the
same as mutton, dealers said in dis
crssing disposition of goats sold on
this market.
"A goats reward for being fat and
healthy is to become mutton, and a
kid that goes to a packing house
might be consoled with the knowledge
that his epitaph on the menu will read
lamb" said one big dealer
He added that packers are required
by the government to distinguish be-
tween sheep and goats in transaction
with dressed meat retailers, but that
the retailers are not required to so
inform consumers.
"The increasing magnitude of the
goat market may be somewhat at
tributable to the fact that goats are
quoted usually at 81 to $3.50 a hun
cred under Sheep" the dealer said.
Goats are coming to market here
from Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.
Those not conditioned for slaughter
are sold as feeders to farmers Of
Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and Illinois,
where they aid in clearing brush from
pasture land.

SUBMARINES
ADAPTED TO
ARCTIC Use

SAN FRANCISCO April % (by AS
ISOLATED Press).-In the way of mod
ern methods of transportation as a
means of reaching the North Pole, the
submarine comes first in the estima-
ton of Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the
Arctic explorer. Next comes the
dirigible balloon, and finally the air
plane.
1.-THE submarine appears to me to
be a perfectly practical way of reach
ing the pole as well as comfortable
way for one could carry all the neces-
sary comforts, said Mr.. Stefansson on
his recent visit here while discussing
Arctic exploration with friends. II
seldom have seen stretch of ice ex-
tending more than thirty miles with
out coming to open water. Under the
circumstances there never would be
any difficulty in the matter of getting
to the surface. Also the navigator
would be assured of calm water when
he came up in these ice hemmed bits
of water.
"The submarine already has been
used for getting to ice bound ports by
passing under the ice. They may be
provided with wheels so as to go
along the channel bottom. A large
number will only weight about 500
pounds on the wheels when sub
mersed in this manner. In construct
ing an under ice submarine the peris-
cope and much of the above deck con-
struction would be done away with
and in place of it would be a deck
coming to ridge similar to a roof
which would cut through thin ice
when coming to the surface. Ocean
ice is mushy and have seen whale
come up through a thickness Of six or
seven inches of ice.''

SEASONS WOOL CROP
WILL COST MORE

SALT LAKE CITY, April 20 (by
Associated Press) The 1919 wool
crop of Utah and other Western wool
growing states promises to be the best
ever produced, according to s. w. Nc
Clure, secretary to the National Wool
Growers Association, with headquar-
tiers in this city. Mr. Mcclure says
the crop will break all records in quail
ity, although it will not be so large
as some previous shearings.
Buyers from Eastern markets, espe-
cially Boston, already are inquiring
about prices. Active buying is ex-
pected to begin almost any day. Mr..
Mcclure expects the prices to range
from 40 cents to So cents pound.
There has been considerable dispute
recently over the price to be paid
shearers this year, the men insisting
upon TN cents a head, while the
growers are offering cents head
less. Shearing in some sections of
Utah and Southern Idaho already is
under way.
