~ tempted Uprising. “AFFAIR LACKED LEADERS “Atmy Officers at Manila Informed of - [Proposed Outbreak in That City and -+-Environs and Defensive Steps Taken - .. Prevented Consummation of Plans. ‘Marila, Dec. 28—Eight Filipinos; have been arrested on the charge of - sedition as a result of an abortive rig- ing in Manila and its environs. Fur- Zthér ‘arrests are probable. From army sources it is learned ithat a general warning was sent to “all" ‘officers on Thursday afternoon "it;ung that fully 10,000 Filipinos in {Manila alone were ready for a con- _certed attack on Fort Santiago, the _'Curatel Espana, the Curatel Infanteria | .and the medical depot. The military units were immediately prepared and -a street patrol was started at dusk. -~ Constabulary agents who are mera- bers of the secret societies disclosed ‘the plans for an uprising, thus en-, abling a force of constabulary and! police to disperse gatherings at .Ba- gumbayan, Paco and Navotas, near Malabon. Use Chairs as Weapons. At Caloocan a squad of American} -saflors seized chairs when a force ot Filipinos approached a dance hall in which they were gathered and, using the chairs as weapons, routed the Filipinos, of which quite a number .were injured. The rising evidently was poorly or- ganized and lacked leaders. It was composed for the most part of persons ‘implicity trusting the word of Ar- temio Ricarte, a revolutionary, who conducts a continual propaganda from Hongkong, to which place he was banished by the American authorities some time ago. Ricarte, it is stated, advised that the anti-American at- tempt be made on Christmas eve when the American officers would be expected to celebrate the holiday. Reports from the provinces tell of minor risings and occasional violence, ‘but details from these sections are lacking. The situation now, from all appear- ances, and according to official state- ments, is well under control of the military authorities. TERRE HAUTE MAYOR IS UNDER ARREST Indianapolis, Dec. 28.—Charged in Indictments with attempts to corrupt the election of Nov. 3 last in Terre Haute, Donn M. Roberts, mayor of Terre Haute, and an announced can- didate for the Democratic nomination for governor in 1916, was taken in custody by United States Marshal Mark Storen at Terre Haute. Roberts, accompanied by Judge Eli H. Redman of the Vigo circuit court, answered a summons and sought the marshal at his hotel. The mayor ad- mitted that both he and Redman had been placed under arrest. . County Sheriff Dennis Shea, who surrendered voluntarily earlier in the morning, emerged from Marshal Sto- ren’s temporary office in a hotel short- ly after noon and announced that he had given bond. These latest arrests, nineteen in mimber, bring the total taken in cus- tody by the United States officials to sixty-five, DRYS PLAN JULY CONGRESS National Meeting Will Discuss Shep- pard-Hobson Resolutions. Washington, Dec. 28.—Prohibition enthusiasts from throughout the coun- try will hold a five-day convention at Atlantic City beginning July 6, at which the Sheppard-Hobson joint resolution, pending in congress, for the submission to the states of a con- stitutional amendment providing for national prohibition,will be considered. This was announced here by the Anti- Shloon League of America, by which the meeéting has been called and under whose auspices it will be held. Thousands of delegates are expect- ed-to attend. The particular time for holding the meeting was selected be- cause it is hoped to impress the thou- sands of visitors usually at Atlantic City with the strength and enthu- siism of the sentiment back of the slogan “Nationwide prohibition by 1920, SiX ARE INJURED IN BLAZE Fifty - Persons Driven Out Apartment House Burns.

Washington, Dec. 28.—Secretary Daniels has called on Captain Oman, commanding the -armored cruiser North Carolina, to report whether threats of violence had been made by Turks at Tripoli against American sailors. Athens dispatches said that an American warship had threatened & bombardment as a result. The North Carolina and the Tennes- see both are at Beirut, the Tennessee | having gone there from Jaffa after de- positing gold. Beirut is about forty miles south of Tripoli, where the dis- orders are said to have occurred. One report was that Turkish au- thorities sought to prevent the de- parture of American, British and French consuls and that the attack on the American crew of a commer- cial ship and the threatened bombard- ment of Tripoli by the American man- of-war la'flowed SUIT ATTACKS MOVIE TRUST New York Rental Company Asks $1, 800,000 Under Sherman Act. New York, Dec. 28.—The Greater New York Film company, an exchange for the circulation of moving picture films in New York city, filed a Sher- man law suit against the General Film company, its officers and com- ponent companies, for $1,800,000, three times the amount of damages alleged to have been caused by the defendants’ acts. It is charged that the defendants have combined to operate and conduct an unlawful business ‘“under the cloak of the so called Edison license agreement.” The plaintiff asserts that its busi- ness has become practically worthless because of the acts of the defendants. Loses $40,000 in Holdup. Kansas City, Dec. 28.—E. H. Hobart, a mining man of Denver, was held up and robbed of stocks and bonds val- ued at $40,000 and $200 in cash.

Watertown, N. Y., Dec. 28.—North- ern New York is experiencing the coldest weather of the winter. The official thermometer-registered 24 be- low zero in this city.

Trades Island for Guns. ‘Washington, Dec. 28.—The Japanese GERMANS ACROSS THE BZURA RIVER stant day and night attacks along the seventy-five-mile front from the Vis- tula river southward to Opochenow the Russian line before Warsaw con- tinues to hold. The banks of the Bzura and Rawka rivers, where the Germans have vain- ly endeavored to cross, are lined with bodies, both sides having lost heavily. Massed attacks upon strong Rus- sian positions have been repeatedly repulsed, but the efforts of the Ger- mans continue and a strong’ counter i attack is being directed against their lines along the Pilica river. While the Germans are directing their main assaults between Sochac- zew and Skierniewice the Russians are endeavoring to pierce the German line along the Pilica. Only at one point along the Bzura river have the Germans been able to make a cross- ing, it is declared here, and with rein- forcements that have been hurried to that region they are expected to be hurled back. It is generally believed here that the fighting in Poland is now rapidly approaching a crisis. General Francois is endeavoring to resume his march from Mlawa on the north. The Germans in that region, it is now admitted, are offering serious re- sistance and have partially succeeded in assuming an offensive. FORTY BURIED IN LANDSLIDE Part of Valmontone, an Italian Town, Is Covered.

London, Dec. 28.—The landing of Italian marines at Axlona, Albania, is not expected to be followed by repre- sentations from Austria to Rome. Italy has declared her intentions are governed solely by a desire to pre- vent anarchy spreading to the Adriat- ic shores and it is believed that Aus- tria for the present will accept this explanation. A general revolt, inspired by Turk- ish Moslemites, is reported to have caused the disturbances. It is semi-officially stated from Rome that the landing of marines does not mean that demonstrations are to be made against interior points, but preparations against all eventual- ities are evident, since the city is held in much greater force than dur- ing Octqper, when marines were land- ed for the first time.

Since his election in 1906, Mr. Stewart ‘has worked ceaselessly in an effort to ad- vance: the educational conditions of the county and success has crowned Iis efforts. He is known over all of Minnesota, and in fact, the north- west, for his wide knowledge in mat- ters along educational lines and for his urgent work in behalf of con- solidated schools, which are proving such a success wherever established. He was for three years, previous to his election, superintendent of the Pemidji city schools. T. S. Thomp- son will continue as assistant to Mr. Stewart, and he is in every way quali- fied for the gosition. Never Missed a Meeting.
