NOT BELIEVED THAT
MARINES LANDED
Washinatdn, April 16.- Dispatches
to the Navy Department today from
Rear Admiral Knight; . commanaing
the American Asiatic fleet and to the
State Department from consular rep
resentatives still made o mention
of activities of American , forces at
Vladivostok.
Recent press dispatches from
Harbin said that reports -.. reaching
there from ' Vladivostok told of the
landing of American forces. Officials
now are convinced that refugees saw
a party of marines on shore leave or
a quartermaster's corps and thought,
it was a landing party.
BREAK CAMP RATHER
THAN BE TRANSFERRED
Houston, Texas, April 16. Approxi
mately 100 men belonging to various
organizations In the headquarters
trains and military- police companies
broke from Camp Logan yesterday
and escaped when an order was issued
transferring them to other organiza
tions in the division. All but two of
them have been captured - and will
probably face charges of conspiring to
mutiny, it was announced today. The
majority of the men were from the
old "fighting seventh" guard regi
ment of Chicago. ;

STILL ENTERTAIN HOPE
FOR COLLIER CYCLOPS
Washington, April 16. Although no
word haskcomd today as to the fate
of the bife'nayal collier. Cyclops,, miss
ing iince&March 14, the Navy Depart
ment refused to give up all hope of
her safety and will continue its search
for some clue '-'that might solve her
mysterious disappearance.
Navy officials themselves hold dif
ferent opinions as to what has be
come of the ship, some believing tliat
she was sunk by a bomb placed be
fore her departure from a South Am
erican port, others are of the opinion
that she was sunk in a sudden squall
and still others are inclined to be
lieve she was captured by a German
raider.

CHICAGO GRAIN.
Chicago, April 16. Excellent plant
ing conditions had a decided bearish
effect today on corn. Opening prices
which ranged from 1-8 to 3-4 lower,
with May'1.27 and July 1.49 to 1.49 1-4,
were followed by a sharp additional
break, especially in the July deliv
ery.
Oats, like corn, showed weakness
on account of bearish weather and
war advices. Provisions were de
pressed by the liberal lard ' supplies
during the first lialf of April.

DRAFTING OF THE IRISH
HOME RULE BILL
FIRE DAMAGED BIG
RICHMOND HOUSE
London, April 16. The committee
which is in charge of the drawing of
an Irish home rule bill, says The
Times, includes J. Austin Chamber
lain, former Secretary for India. Thfs,
it adds, is a "fact which suggests
that he already is or is about to be
come a member of the war cabinet."
The same jiaper prints an appeal
from Unionist members of Parliament
urging the Immediate introduction of
a measure of home rule as "generous
-as can be devised by the light of the
recent discussions of the Irish con
vention and in harmony with the ul
timate goal of Federal devolution."
