Georgo Wallace Williams, n resident of Marshfleld, was token Into custody this afternoon and is being hela on a charge of insanity. His actions had occasioned somo surprise, for when he first came to Bandon ho ap peared to be a man endowed with excellent talents. He arrived hero on July 3rd, and since I1I3 arrival,, has been acting strangely. Today ho became boisterous and paraded up and down the streets of Bandon, praying for tho city mar shal to come to his aid and accomp any him to Marshfleld and assist him In defending his "townslte" against a threatened attack from tho Japan ese navy. He had mentioned other unrea sonable things to several Bandon people and it was thought best to incarcerate him and hold him until the county court can pans on his sanity. He will bo taken to Coqullle on Saturdry or Monday and there brought bt-ioro the court. Williams i3 the man who recently conducted an excursion from Marsh fleld to Bandon, and at htat time ho seemed of sound mind and mado many friends by his earnestness and good cheer.

Admiral Evans, who sint some time in the Brooklyn Navy Yaj-d today, attaches no significance to the plans for the practice cruise that will, take his fleet around the horn. "It is absurd," he said to the Asso ciated Press, "to construe the ap pearance of this formidable fighting fleet in the territorial waters of our west coast as a demonstration to im press the friendly government of Japan. Jt is eilly to talk war with Japan. Because some toughs wrecked a Japanese restaurant In San Fran cisco, thero is no more reason for war wjtu Japan than there would be for war with China if a few hoodlums on tho east side (New York) should stone a Chineso laundry." Mr. Williams is well known in Marshfleld and his actions for tho past two weeks have caused much comment in this city. Ho has. Imagined countless things, but dwelt largely upon tho Japanese navy. Among the friends here, ho found ready listeners for a time, but his talk became so incoherent and ab surd that they concluded he was suf fering with dementia. Ono of his chief hobbles was that the Japanese navy was hovering about tho en trance to Coos Bay, waiting an op portunity to slip In and destroy tho cltln on the Bay. Ho tried to Induce several ac quaintances to accompany him to Charleson bay last Sunday whoro they would be shown the exact spot whero the navy would take on coal. At times ho would Imagine that San Francisco was to suffer first, then (Joos Bay, Portland, and on up tho coast, including Seattle and Tacoma. He Imagined when he left Marsh fleld that he was conducting an ex cursion to Banaon for tho 4th of July and as an accompaniment to tho celobratlon at that city, the Japanese would lend a hand and bombard tho town. Before ho left ho told a Marsh fleld resident he should proparo his home against tho attack which was threatened and gave Instructions how to proceed. Tho fence was to be torn down and the siding on tho House removed and both burned. Then tho residence was to bo cov ered with asbestos. Williams was to furnish the asbestos, since ho had cornered tho vislblo supply after ho had received tho tip that tho bom bardment was to tako place. And so his vagaries ran. His friends humored him for ' a 'time, some believing he was joking them! but hla talk became so nonsensical and chimerical that they reluctantly accepted tho belief that his mind had failed him. Mr. Williams came horo last fall from Portland and was an accredited representative of the Oregonlan for several months. He wrote many In teresting and stroDg articles to that paper regarding Coos Bay and its resources and wa3 considered a man with ideas. Respecting his ability there wa3 never any question, and bis oulture was recognized by all who came in contact with hlni- He Is a veteran newspaper man and has filled Important editorial and reportorlal situations ou some of the most influential newsnanfir in tho country.
