"Washington, Jan. '22.—Senator
Stone, on the floor of the Senate,
yesterday denounced Theodore
Roosevelt as "The most potent ag

seditious man "f consequence in Am
erica. The heart of this man is
aflame with inordinate ambition; he
runs amuck; liig chief thought is
Soldiers are still policing the
streets of Skagway, and extra pre
cautions are being taken at night
Martial law has not been declared,
as tliat is not believed to be neces
sary, but the effect is almost the
same.
JLast night 14 persons in Skag
way were ordered to report at the
court house where they were in
structed in the rules of the gov
ernment regarding approach to ter
minals, waterfronts, depots, etc.,
and wero iuforaetl of laws against
seditious speech. This
wa« merely a precautionary mea
Bure and the persons railed wefe
those whom autohrities thought
should bo specially warned for one
reason or another.
Word has been received from
Fairbanks that Kruhe, detained in
the court house as a suspi
cious chraacter, was committed to
Morning Side sanitarium in 1914.
A wire was immediately feat to
that institution inquiring about
Kruhe and whea and how he left.
N'o one has been able to read the
uhort-hand characteis which Kruhe
had. in. his possesion, and he will
not read them himself.
it was learned this morning that
the U. S. harbor boat Peterson, went
to Juneau immediately after leav
ing here, so i* is supposed pre
cautions have been taken * there
in like nature to Skagway.
Although no confirmation has
come from the outside cable re
ports that any concerted plot has
developed, precautions are be
ing taken. Rumors in. Skagway
are to the effect that the recent
I. W. W, plot in Ft. Seward whkjh
was exposed, and for which several
soldiers have been given heavy
sentences by court martial, has
been traced to some extent to
Skagway.
When here Sunday night Com
manding officer Jones of Ft. Sew
ard said the only danger in Skag
way is from fanatics. Whoever1
would do any desperate deed would
be sure to get caught, but there are
many enemies who would just as
not 'o help the government but al

day this man sneaks bitter contemp
tuous disparagement of the presi
dent."
He further charged Roosevelt as
saying and writing things for which;
humbler men ore being indicted for
disloyalty.
Washington, Jan. 2.—President
Wilson last night issued a
statement characterizing Senator
Chamberlain's public criticism of
