HOPELESS TO COMPETE
Britif-h Journal Opposes Building
Navy to Outdo America.
IXJN'DO.N. Nov. ST. The Nation pub
lishes today a strongly-worded argu
ment asralnst including the United
States In tho two-power naval standard
for Great Britain; In other words, that
the British fleet should exceed the
strength of any other two powers by 10
per cent.
The paper says that America and
Germany are the next two strongest
naval powers after Great Britain.
America, it explains, has practically to
build two navies, one for the Atlantic
and one for the Pacific.
"A people of 40.000.000." the Nation
continues. "Is called upon, to provide a
force stronger than that levied on 140,
000.019 of people. On this proposition
we have two remarks to. make: The
first l that the people of Great Bri
tain cannot do It. and the second that
the Liberal party will not try to do It.
They never will consent to build
asainst America: It Is hateful to the
Liberals even to think of building
asainst tho United Statea."

tContinued from First Pate.)
they kept his residence under espion
age, when suspicion finally pointed to
him. The night before his arrest two
detectives were stationed In front of his
home to watch him. while another was
stationed at the tanks of the Standard
Oil Company, which, it was known, he
intended to destroy.
These three eleuths remained on duty
until 4 o'clock in the morning before
they became tired and gave up in de
spair. Twenty minutes later the liuse
oil tanks were In flames, and at o c ocK
the officers found the boy and his little
sister watching the flames from a point
of vantage near their home.
Young Anthony -was arrested Sunda

Teacher Held Ills Ill-Will.
Miss Edith Scanlon is the teacher who
Is said to have incurred the ill-will of
Baker City's Juvenile fire fiend. She was
a teacher in the "Little Green School
house," where Goldman Anthony was a
pupil. He bore the reputation of being
thoroughly unruly and unmanageable,
and succeeded in maintaining that repu
tation. He fei said to have placed pins
In the pupils' deyks. and also In the
teacher's chair, and to have been guilty
of many other petty annoyances, for
which the teacher reprimanded and pun
ished him. Thereby she earned the ha
tred of the lad, who swore vengeance.
Soon after this the "Little Green
Schoolhouse" was destroyed by lire. The
fire started between 8 and 4 o'clock In
the morning and kerosene was used.
Next day the Anthony boy failed to
attend his classes, which were trans
ferred to the High Scliool Annex. That
was five months ao.
Second School Building Burns.
Mtes Scanlon was transferred to the
High School Annex. A short time later
this building also was destroyed under
circumstances very eimilar to those sur
rounding the destruction of the "Little
Green Schoolhouse." The fire began be
tween 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning
and kerosene was used. And next day
the Anthony boy again failed "to attend
school. .
Next the Faull residence, was destroyed.
-SHI ISOUI pilB EMpiO au, jo auo sen 11
toric restdences in Baker City. The fire
In that building also started between
S and - 4 o'clock In the morning, and
kerosene was used.- Nor did the An
thony boy attend school on the following
day.
Only a brief time elapsed before the
Ideal Laundry Company's plant was dis
covered on tire. The discovery was made
at 4 o'clock and it was also discovered
that kerosene had been used. But the
flames were extinguished after only par
tially destroying the building. It has
since been ascertained that the Anthony
boy failed to attend school on the day
following the laundry fire.
High School Also Destroyed.
By that time the town was in an up
roar. It was generally believed that the
numerous fires were of incendiary ori
gin, and it was also generally believed
that a single person was responsible for
them all. Rewards were offered, threats
were made and citizens generally joined
In the hunt. But not a clew of impor
tance waa discovered and not a bit of
auspiclon pointed to the boy, for at that
iUROERED
time it had not been ascertained that he
had absented himself from school on the
day following each fire. Nor was it
known that be held a grudge against the
teacher.
The climax to Baker City's Indignation
came with the destruction of its. hand
some new 'North Baker High School.
With the furniture and equipment It had
just been completed at a cost of 525.000.
It also was mysteriously destroyed by
tire. The fire started between 3 and 4
o'clock in the morning; kerosene was
used, and next day the Anthony boy
failed to attend school. Then he was
suspected. Just why. or just what inci
dent or circumstance directed the atten
tion of the authorities to him has not
been explained. But from that time on
he was shadowed.
Detectives Trick Young Suspect.
The Pinkerton office sent a young man
from Portland to win- the boy's confi
dence. He succeeded, and posing as a
very, very bad man. whispered to the
hoy that he was responsible for the fires
that had occurred. To this the boy en
tered instant objection and denial. His
new friend nor anyone else but himself
was responsible, he stoutly declared, and
to prove it he announced bis Intention of
having another fire Sunday morning, No
vember 23. He had been planning for
several weeks to burn tfte Standard Oil
Company's tanks, he said, because he
thought it would make a great fire, and
he would do so on that date.
So detectives were placed near the
Anthony home and another at the tank.
But the hoy had evidently become sus
picious, for he did not emerge from the
house until after 4 o'clock, a few min
utes after his watchers had departed.
Then, according to his confession, he hur
ried to the tanks. st fire to them and
hastened home.
"We arrested him vat 6 o'clock that
morning." said Mayor Johns, of Baker
City, last night, "as he and his little sis
ter were standing In front of their borne.
Neither of his parents were yet awake.
He stoutly denied his guilt and continued
to deny it until the next day. when he
mado a complete confession. He told us
of all the buildings he had burned and
didn't seem at alt to realize the enormity
of the crimes that he had done.
Liked to See Them Burn.
"To the detective he told of his grudge
acainst the teacher and said that was the
reason he had burned the school build
ings. He had set fire to the others, he
said, because he liked to see them burn.
When they moved the teacher and I
found that I had not got even with her.
he told the detective, 'I decided that I
must keep on burning down the buildings
until I did get even with her.' "
The boy lived with bis parents and lit
tle sister. His room was on the ground
floor, and, according to his confession,
be escaped through the window when he
made bis nightly trips of devastation.
As soon as he set the buildings on fire,
he said, he hurried home, climbed Into
his room through the window and went
to bed.
Young Anthony has borne the reputa
tion of being a wild, unruly youth for
years. His father was once a member of
the Baker City police force.

ROBBER BURIED HIS LOOT
Negro Known Here Convicted of
Stealing $50,000 From Mails.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 27. Charles
Stevens, the negro who stole 60,000 from
a registered mail pouch here several
months ago, was found guilty in the
Federal Court today on all six founts.
The maximum penalty ls 35 years. . He
will be, sentenced later.
Stevens traveled extensively following
the robbery and spent money freely. He
finally returned to his haunts in Kanea3
City and was arrested. He was placed
on trial Wednesday last and was de
fended by a lawyer who came here from
San Francisco for that purpose.
The stolen pouch contained money be
ing shipped to New York City1 by a Los
Angeles bank. The pouch was recovered,
but none of the money was ever found
by the officers. Stevens is believed to
have buried the treasure.
Stevens is well known to the Portland
police, having been sent to McNeills
Island from here by the Government for
two or three years on being convicted in
the Federal Court of robbing a mail
pouch at the Union Depot. He crawled
under a car and stole the pouch from a
truok while the mail was being loaded
into a mail car. He was arrested for the
crime shortly afterward.
During a part of the time he was in
Portland the negro was employed as a
porter at the Hotel Portland. He has
always been suspected of complicity in
