PROBE into PLOT
Fire Was Started Under New
Porto Rican Chiefs Room.
Mont Reilly Has Been Object of
Many Threats.
tBy the Associated Press.)

New York, Nov. 21.-Searching in
vestigation was begun today by federal
agents of a mysterious fire discovered
in the hold of the steamship Tanamo,
Immediately below the state room of
Gov. E. Mont Reilly, of Porto Rico,
shortly after the liner sailed from San
Juan.
Governor Reilly refused to comment
on the fire today, but a member of his
party expressed the belief, which he
said was shared by the captain of the
vessel, that it had been set as the
result of a plot against the governor
by synpathizers of the Nationalist
party. ~
It was pointed out that Governor
Reilly had been the object of threaten
ing letters, both before he sailed to
take up his duties as governor and
since his arrival in Porto Rico. The
fire in the hold of the Tanamo was
discovered last Tuesday by Governor
Reilly himself, but it was not until
Thursday that it became alarming.
Water pumped into the hold In an
effort to uuench it caused the vessel
to list heavily, and Captain Sudson or
dered the lifeboats swung out on their
davits ready to be launched.
Most of the twenty passengers on
hoard were terror stricken, as they
were convinced the lifeboats could not
weather the heavy seas that were run
ming if it became necessary to put out
in them.
Heroic efforts of the Tanamos
crew however, beat the fire down so
that it was almost extinguished when
the steamer arrived late yesterday.

WILLIS MAY VISIT KANSAS
Ohioan, Who Nominated President

Ohioan, Who Nominated President
Harding, Expected Here in January.
Frank B. Willis, former governor
of Ohio, may be the guest OF honor of
Kansas Republicans at their Kansas
Day club dinner in Topeka January
20. Wilbur n. Hawk, of Atchison,
president of the Republican dinner
club, stated today that the organiza
ton would doubtless invite Willis to
speak.
The Ohioan is rated as one of the
top line orators of the nation. He has
been a prominent character in Re
publican national conventions and
last year made the nominating speech
for Warren c.. Harding when he was
placed before the Chicago convention
for the presidential nomination.
Willis speech before the convention
was one of the features of the big
show and the former governor who
headed the Ohio delegation, played a
big part in bringing about the organ
ization which ultimately secured
Harding's nomination.
In the campaign last year, Willis
opened the fight in Kansas with
series of speeches in the First, Fourth
and Eighth districts. He has been
strongly urged for the honor place
on the Republican speaking program.
The selection of speakers will be con-
sidered at a meeting of officers of the
dinner club in Topeka early next
month

The state may call Harold Logan as
a witness in the murder case against

effect that A. L. Wallace and Roy

Banta-had approached him with a
proposition to pay $1,500 for Banta's s
death.
In discussing the Logan statement

torney general. stated that Logan said
Wallace and Hays refused to state
who would provide he money for kill
ing Banta. They stated. according to
his affidavit, that the money would
come from a doctor. This assertion

in an effort to provide another link in
the chain of evidence against the de-
PENDANTS.

night. He will be in charge of the
prosecution of Doctor Nixon, Wallace
and Hays.
Banta. who was killed several
