rie, tions Shops Thwarted. ‘Plan to Wreck Machinery in Muni- New York, Sept. a7.—Piaus to wreck machinery in munitions mak- ing shops in America at the bidding of German agents in Europe are be- lieved by the police to have been de- feated through the arrests of about _1o00 Germans and German thizers in raids which began here last night, and continued today. This morning the aliens, each guarded by a detective, were taken to Ellis Island, where it was announced, they would be interned, probably. for the duration of the war. Nearly all the men arrested. are mechanics. A number are employed in munitions plants and on navy con- tracts. In the possession of some were found quantities of carborun- dum in pulverized form—a chemical used to destroy delicate machinery. The men know one another, had held various meetings, at which police and Navy Department agents were ‘pres- ent, unknown to them, and had been under surveillance for many months according to the police. : The suspicion is held that the car- borundum reached here from Ger- man agents in Scandinavian coun- tries. Emphasis was placed on the discovery of this chemical, some of 1t in the form of lead pencils, in pos- session of a German courier in Nor- way some months ago. This agent admitted, according to police infor- mation, that he had been sending carborundum to Germans in countries at war with Germany, GUARD MERGER ORDERED TO ’ STAND Essential to Early Movement to France, Baker Told Gardner. . Washington, Sept. 30.—Consolida- tion of national guard regiments from different states is in some cases es- sential to the early dispatch of na- tional ‘guard divisions to France. For that reason the policy of consoli- dating guard units as military re- quirements direct will be carried out, despite protests received from state autuhorities. This was the impression gained at the War Department following the- visit of Governor Gardner of Mis- sourui to Secretary Baker to lodge ih person his objection to steps taken by army officials with regard to the Missouri National Guard. He. will see Mr. Baker again today, but there is no prospect the conselidation pol- icy will be modified. Governor Gardner's main objection was to the consolidation of the Fourth Missouri infantry and the Third Kansas Infantry to form a rez- iment in the national guard division sympa-. al hospital in Kansas City, F morning, Sept. 28th, of typhoid fever. He had been at. work for a construc- tion company, at Parsons, Kartsas, where he waststricken with the fever. He returned to Kansas City, where he had been living for some time. He became worse and was sent. tu the city hospital by the people at whose home he boarded. His father, O. J. Radford, of Bentonville, Arkan- $as, Was notified. and went to Kansas City and remained at his bedside un- til he died. ‘ He was born in this county April 13, 1896. He resided in. the county until about. five years agg when he ing. Besides his father he is sur- vived by two brothers, Raymond Rad- ford, Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Arnold Radford, of Junction City, Kans&s. - The remains were brought to this city Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon were taken to the cemetery at Spruce, where funeral “services were held and interment made.
