BRITISH SPy'S GERMAN
GOLD PAIO FOR
EXPLOSIONS
BRITISH SECRET SERVICE CITES
EXPLOSIONS ACCORDING
TO PLAN"

LONDON, Dec. 22.-Revelations
of the methods by which the British
secret service outwitted the clumsier
wiles of the Germans may
safely be made.
Notable examples occurred in con-
nection with the explosions which
were reported from time to time in
munition factories. A secret serv-
ice man went to Germany in this
connection. He was extraordinarily
successful in winning the conf
dence of the Germans, by whom he
was entrusted with missions in their
interest.
His chief recommendation to the
enemy was his supposed ability to
engineer explosions in British mu-
milton works. 1t was arranged that
for every such explosion carried out
by him he should receive $4,000,
paid through the agents of the Ger
man government in Spain.
He came to England and speedily
put in claims and drew the awards.
The methods were simple . Some
times an accident could be ar
ranged and this succeeded fire.
quently. When a genuine mishap
occurred it was the suppression of
the news for three or four weeks
that enabled more German money to
be drawn. The agent was able to
announce in advance that he had
planned a disaster for a particular
place, and in due course the catas-
trophe would be reported, with de-
tails quite satisfying to the Ger
man paymasters.
Their satisfaction was such that
they presently asked for explosions
in certain factories, regarded as of
special Importance, and agreed to
pay an extra $4,000 in such cases on
account Of the special difficulties in
volved. The money paid on these
claims more than covered the ex-
penditure on the harmless explosions
which we're brought off in these
places by order Of the British au-
thorities.

REFERENDUM ASKED
ON RATIFICATION
OF DRY LAW
PETITION CONTAINING NECES-
SARY NUMBER OF NAMES
FILED IN CARSON

Proceedings to prevent the secre-
tary of state from placing on the
ballot at the next general election
the question of ratification of the
national prohibition amendment will
probably be instituted by the Good
Government League or some other
organization representing the prOhi-
bitiOn forces.
The question was brought up Sat
urday when A. Grant Miller, repre-
senting certain anti-prohibition in
terests in a nationwide fight against
the national prohibition amendment
filed a referendum petition with the
|secretary of state asking that the
action of the last legislature in rati-
flying the national amendment be
placed before the people for a vote.
The petitions were circulated by
II. ]. Thycs and have been signed
in all parts of the state. 1t was
necessary 10 secure 1857 signatures,
to represent 10 per cent of the vot-
ers of the state, and the petition
contains 1885 signatures.
Nevada is one Of the IA states in
which the initiative and referendum
is in force and it is n of the
states through which the anti-prohi-
bition forces will carry their fight
against national prohibition.
The petition was taken to the Of
flee of the secretary of state just
before closing time Saturday after
noon and Secretary of State Brodi-
gan took the matter up at once
with Attorney General Fowler. The
attorney general passed upon the
legality of the filing, writing the
following letter to Brodigan:
'Tn regard to petition offered
for filing which seeks to utilize the
referendum provision of the con
stitution Of the state of Nevada in
regard to the ratification of the
eighteenth amendment to the federal
constitution, l beg to advise that
your duty in the matter being
strictly ministerial that you should
file said petition. This on its face
appears to be in legal form and in
dicates that it is signed by at least
10 per cent of the voters of this
ofata DC shown NV the number of
votes cast at the general election
of 1918.
eff any person desires to attack
the contention that the referendum
applies in such case as this then he
will have ample opportunity of do
ing SO at a convenient time prior to
the November election of 1920."-

The farmers and ranchers of Ne
vada are being called upon to meet
problems of peace that are more diff

fronted during the period OF the
war, says Dean c. S. Knight OF the
University of Nevada College OF
Agriculture. Only by the use of the
most modern methods of agricul-
tural practice will it be possible to
succeed in the new era. With lane
almost doubled in value and q pos
sibility of lower prices for farm
products, the Nevada farmer mus
necessarily become a student of his
problems in order to realize profit
able returns from his land and live
stock.

l7.YEAR-OLD ANARCHIST Tells OF
HIS CONVERSION TO RED DOCTRINE.

radicalism from books obtained at
the New York public library, in an
interview with a representative of
the Associated Press, indicated that
a real menace to American institu-
tons rests upon many a free book

doctrines" he said, referring to the
millions invested in libraries all over

Russian, from the 96th street and
Lexington avenue branch of the New
York public library"
The youth who, shortly after grad
uating from a New York public
school, became the secretary of the
union of Russian workers local, an
anarchist organization in Brooklyn
with a membership of $50, discussed
with perfect frankness the causes
which had led him to his impending
Punishment from the United States.
The first step, he said, had been
socialism, a theory favored by some

was not radical enough, he said, and
so he took up anarchy.
Buhkanob would prove a study
for the psychologist. He is more
than ordinarily intelligent and quick
witted. A pair of light blue eyes
peer from beneath a shock of very
light brown hair and when he smiles
he shows a fine set of well-kept
teeth. Well dressed and supplied
with an abundance of cigarettes he
expressed contentment with his lot

MERCHANTS MEET
TOMORROW NIGHT

Asked to be at the Board of Trade
Room at 8 O'clock to Back Up a
Movement for State Road to
Tampa.
The merchants of the city are ask
ed to meet tomorrow night at the
Board of Trade room. at 8 o'clock, for
the purpose of backing the move to
have the route from Ocala to Tampa
along the Seaboard Air Line desig-
mated as state highway. AS this
road reaches into Sumter county, a
part of Ocala's trade territory, the
merchants of this city are directly
interested. Ocala failed to have rep
resentation at the recent meeting in
Tarpon Springs, when the road was
discussed before the state highway
commission. The proposed route is
Ia addition to the Dixie highway and
in addition to road No. 3, down the
west coast. already designated. But
it is believed that the road parallel
to the Seaboard, serving a large pop
ulation and running through a rich
section of the state. should be a state
road and have early construction.
