Eigheen men have been arrested. Agents also seized 15 rifles, a shotgun, a bayonet, “a long sword” and 18 cans of cordite powder.

All 48 of the States got some of the road monéy, shaking especially over the fact that some of the 'rifles came from a National Guard armory and that the conspirators planned to seize more from in amounts varying from $9 530 for Texas 1O the same source. $780,000 each for Delaware, New Hampshire, Rhode The F.BI. is to be congratulated on rounding Island and Vermont.

We think we have found it. It turned up not in an academic treatise nor a political speech, nor in a philosophical discussion, but in a newspaper account of one of those casual interviews which reporters get from passengers arriving on our shores. The American Clipper came into Baltimore the other day after a long delay at the Azores because of bad flying weather. Among the passengers was for deposits of low-grade coal have been discovered there. Iron, copper, titanium, molybdenum, mica miral Byrd believes that ofl will be” located.
