Spry of Utah announced bis Intentions
to "clear the state of the lawless ele
ment that now Infests the state and
see to It that inflammatory street
speaking is stopped."
The governor's statement came as
the aftermath to the execution of
Joseph Hlllstrom, a member of the
1. W W. and a native of Sweden, for
the murder of J .G. Morrison and
Morrison's son on January 1, 1>14.
Hlllstrom was executed by a firing
squad at T:4< a. m.
When the officers want to get Hlll
strom they found he had tied the door
of his cell with strips torn from his
blankets. He fought the guards
fiercely with the handle of a broom
he had snatched from an attendant in
the corridor, but when he saw the
sheriff he became calm, saying, "You
cant blame a man for fighting for his
lite." Accompanied by the officers he
walked to the death chair. After he
was seated they asked him if he had
anything to say. He said:
"Gentlemen, I die with a clear con
science. I never did anything wrong
in my life. I die fighting, not like a
coward. Well, I'm going, good-bye."
When the officer started to give the
command to fire Hlllstrom yelled
"Fire." The squad fired and the bul
lets pierced his heart. He was dead
in one minute and 10 seconds. None
of HlUstrom's I. W. W. friends wit
nessed the execution.
In his statement Governor Spry
said;
"Every lawbreaker, every man who
defies law and order, every man who
is opposed to. law and order?call
themselves what they will?will be
driven out of the state. I am going
to see that the work is started at
once. If the city officers and others
whose duty it Is do not do so, I will
do it myself. I am going to see that
Inflammatory street speaking is stop
per and at once, let them call it
Tree speech' or any other name they
wish." " ' ''
The governor said the militia
would be used If necessary to clear
the state of the men who have been
"writing threatening letters and mak
ing incendiary speeches."

3,000,000 ARE DESTITUTE
APPEAL TO AMERICA ISSUED BY

BELGIUM.
? ? ?
Woman and Children Must Be Clothed
Thla Winter?Nine Million Whole
ly or Partly Destitute.
'New York.?Oyer 3,000,000 persona
in Belgium and Northern France,
mostly women and young children,
must be clothed and shod by Christ
mas. It the garments and shoes for
those destitute people are not forth
coming at once, their sufferings dur
ing the winter will become desperate.
Such is the note of an urgent ap
peal Issued to the people of the
United States by the commission for
relief In Belgium. The New York
committee hare received from Mr.
Herbert Hoover, chairman of the
commission, the followfng statement:
"It appears to me that It is neces
sary 'for us to go frankly to the
American people and ask them to
clothe the destitute In the occupied
areas of Belgium and northern France
during the coming winter.
"There are 9,000,000 people In these
areas and of these over one-third are
now either wholly or partially desti
tute and are today receiving that*
food either wholly or partially vrlW
out payment.
"As you know we ? have set up
economlo measures baaed on the
ability of a portion of the population
to pay for Its food which, with the
contributions of other countries, en
ables us for the present to find the
bare mlnmum of food supplies for
the whole 9,000,000 people, but we
have no reserves with which to pro
vide clothing tor the destitute. We
now plead for help on their behalf.
"Even If these 9,000,000 people had
money they could nod Import clothes,
or the raw materials with which to
manufacture them, through the
blockade Into an area under military
occupation.
"It is a certainty that the undue
exposure of underclad men, women
and children to the bitter winter win
greatly increase mortaltly. The cloth
ing tor these people can be provided
only. If we receive gift supplies for
the purpose. We must depend upon
the American people."

Old Serbia Is lost and new Serbia
Is In a precarious condition. In the
opinion of M. Jacowscheff, secretary
of the Russian Legation In Greece,
who arrlTed here from Mttrovltxa,
western Serbia, by way of Albania.
Tbe secretary asserted the Ser
bians at Babuna Pass could not hold
out much longer, and that the only
hope was that the Serbian force con
centrated at MltrorlUa would prove
to be strong enough to take the offen
sive and advance through Tetovo to
wards MSnastlr.
The morale of the Serbalns Is
splendid," he continued. "Half train
ed recruits march to battle singing
like veterans. Their aged King Peter
is lighting In the trenches, clad In the
uniform of a private. He seeks death,
saying: 'When I am ktl)ed you can
flee or surrender.'
Some Tasks For Congress.
Washington.?Revision of the Fed

existing statutes Is one of the tasks
congress will be asked to undertake
at the coming session. This was
among subjects discussed at the cabi

Sherman anti-trust act so there would
be no question about Its application
to conspiracies.

NAVY PLANNING FOR
TWO MONSTER SHIPS
IN FIRST YEAR'S FART OF THE
FIVE-YEAR BUILDING PRO
GRAM.
TO BE LARGEST IN WORLD
33,000-Ton Crfft of the CaHfornlo
Clooo, Cinwt Begin Until Naxt
Bummtr For Look of Stool.
Washington.?Tentative plana are
being considered .Secretary Daniels
said, tor two 36,000-ton battleships to
be included In the first year's part of
the fire-year building program Cou
greas will be asked to approve There
are no warships so large afloat any
where In the world. The biggest ever
designed for the American Navy are
the 31000-ton craft of the California
class, bids tor two of which were re
ceived.
Part of the Increased displacement
in the newest ships will be due to
changed hull construction to provide
additional torpedo defense bulkheads.
While the ship's general charactris
tics have not been disclosed, they
probably will have Increased arma
ment and speed. The navy has de
veloped a 16-lnch rifle, and the new
ships may carry 10 or more of these
it developments of the European war
Indicate the wisdom of mounting
them. The largest guns now afloat
are the 13-inch weapons of European
nayies, which the American 14-lnch
rifle is said to equal for all practical
purposes.
Maximum speed of American bat
tleship now built or authorized is
31 knots, although European first line
ships go considerably above that. It
is considered probable that a speed
of perhaps 25 knots will be sought
Secretary Daniels has received no
report on the examination of private
bids received for battleships 43 and
44, all of which appeared to be above
the limit fixed by Congress. It Is un
derstood. however, a careful analysis
of the exceptions to advertised speci
fications bears out the Indication that
private builders will not attempt to
construct the hulls and machinery of
the ships within the 37,800,000 limit.
Neither ship can be laid down be
fore the next summer, it is said, for
lack of structural steel, the war haw
ing swept the American steel market
clean. Secretary Daniels showed con
siderable concern over this fact. He
totimated that unless some arrange
ments could be made with steel plants
to_ insure preference for government
orders Congress might be asked to
act. An embargo on exportation of
steel until the government's wants are
supplied has been suggested.
PLENTY OF COTTON.

Berlin, by wlreleu to SayrlUe.?Ger
many not only has all the cotton she

News Agency. Prevention of cotton
shipments to Swltserland on the con
tention that the material would find
[ Its way to Germany and be used for
making explosives will hurt the neu
tral nation, but will not Injure Ger
many. It declares. In commenting on
Swiss reports that the Entente Pow
ers have stopped cotton shipments for
Swiss mills.
"Competent German authorities
state that the German army la satis
factorily provided with cotton for sev
eral years," this agency says. "In
addition hugs quantities can be ob
tained from Turkey by way of the
Danube, and even If all shipments
ware stopped Germany la provided
with the material tor an Indefinite

that a secret code with the Duke of

The code covered various war mater

Justice as a result of the conferenoe
in New York between A. Bruce Bie

ITALY DENOUNCES DEED
A COMMUNICATION ADDRESSED
BY ITALIAN GOVERNMENT TO
NEUTRAL NATION*.
"An Unparalleled Atrocity"?State
ment Differs Materially From
That of Auetrlan Government
Washington. ? Secretary Laming
personally received from Macchl dl
Cellere, the Italian ambassador, a
communication addressed by Italy to
all neutral nations, denouncing as "an
unparalleled atrocity" the linking of
the Italian liner Ancoaa, with scores
t neutrals and othar non-combatants
aboard.
The statement recites the circum
stances of the attack, charging that
"without even a blank shot" of
warning, from the attacking subma
rine, the vessel was shelled and that
the killing and wounding of passen
gers continued after the ship had
stopped. No reference Is made to the
nationality of the submarine.
As yet Ambassador Penfleld has
not been Instructed to call at the
Vienna foreign office for Information,
but he probably will be shortly In
vlqjr of the Issuance of a statement by
the Austro-Hungarlan admiralty de
scribing the attack.
Upon receipt of the facts as stated
In Vienna the Washington govern
ment will consdter whether any rights
of American citlsens have been vio
lated. The admiralty statement
which has been seen by officials here
In the press. Is at variance with that
of Italy. It declares that the Ancona
attempted to escape and was stopped
only after repeated shelling.
While officials were disinclined to
comment In view of the contradictory
Information, the general belief Is that
the entire question of submarine war
fare and the obligations of a subma
rine commander to see that neutrals
are In a place of safety before de
stroying a prise will be taken up by
the United States with the Austrian
government
CHURCHILL MAKES GOOD.

London.?Winston Spencer Church
Ul, who has been the most severely
criticised member of the Government
and who has been held personally re

Sir Christopher Cradock's fleet In
the Padflc, the destruction by sub
marines of the British cruisers
Cressy, Hogue and Abouklr, the Ill
fated Antwerp epedltion and the In
itiation of the naval attack on the
Dardanelles, delivered a speech In
his own defense In the House of Com
mons following the resignation of his
post In the Cabinet.
"I won't have it said," was his
dramatic assertion referring to the
Dardanelles attack, "that this was a
civilian plan foisted by a political
amateur upon reluctant officers and
experts."
And this sums up his reply to all
his critics, la every case, he showed*
that experts had counselled and cop
I curred before any of the expeditions
which had been condemned were un
dertaken. and It was clear, before he
had gone fpr, that the House of Com
mons sympathised with him.

a defeat of the Russians In Oallcla.
The troops of General yon Llnslngen

west bank of the Styr River. The en

Mellen Assumes Responsibility.
New York.?Charles 8. Mellen, for
mer president of the New York, New
Haven A Hartford Railroad, assumed
the responsibility for the New Haven's
policy of acquiring New England
trolley lines which the Government In
the trial of the 11 former directors
charges was a part of the New Ha
ven's alleged plan to monopolise com
merce. Mr. Mellen trectified that In
1904 he urged the necessity of a com
prehensive plan of acquisition of
trolley properties or else to drop the
lines it had acquired.

but one, and being cut off from the
south by the Bulgarian advance be

rough roads through Montenegro and
Albania for any supplies from the

In the south the Serbian position
Is almost aa bad. The success of the
Bulgarians flanking attack on Bab
una Pass and their advance from
Veles have prevented the hoped-for
junction of the Serbian-French forces.
This leaves the Serbians only two
lines of retreat, one Into Albania,
where they may be harassed by un
friendly tribes, and the other across
tha Greek border, where they are In
danger of being disarmed and In
terned. It la' to prevent the latter
eventuality that the Entente Allies
are putting forth every effort
The British Government has taken
further action by the Issuance of aa
order thgt no Greek vessel, except

Three gdvernment plants submitted
estimates within the appropriation

The lowest private bid was that of
the Fore River Shipbuilding Com

four alternate proposals. Mach was
made under stipulated modifications
of the department's specifications
which apparently would bring the to
cost far above the I7JOO.OOO maxi
