U.S. FLEET ON WAY TO HONOLULU SAN FRANCISCO, April 15. The United States battle fleet steamed west into the Pacific today bound for "war" on far distant seas. Trailing for miles in one of the grandest assemblies of fighting craft in history, the armada lengthened into the distance and across the horizon before scores of vessels in port had moved from position. Approximately 125 war craft of every description, manned by 45,000 officers and sailors, comprise the fleet, headed for an "attack" on Honolulu. Shora leave ended at daybreak, and through the dawn hundreds of sailors hurried back to their ships ending their last liberty for six weeks or longer. The dreadnaughts, destroyers and other vessels waited with steam up, ready for the departure. Airplanes from Crissey Field and others catapulted from warships swept out over the Golden Gate shortly after 8 a.m. taking reconnaissance to be sure no "enemy" turked at the bay's mouth. The mine sweepers were the first to leave, towing paravanes, steel devices dragging from the bow which are supposed to cut the cables holding hidden mine-in place and render them harmless. Following the mine sweepers, the destroyer squadrons departed along with the scout cruisers, the latter darting far to the side of the course to be sure the way is clear. It was not expected the warships would put to sea before noon. Their departure will be "protected" by shore batteries of Port Scott and Port Barry, fending off the "enemy" until the dreadnaughts can clear the harbor and take up "battle" formation.

SPARKS BEGIN TO FLY IN MONTANA GREAT FALLS, Mont., April 15—The sparks began to fly about the county court house today immediately upon arrival of the principals in the trial of Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, once a leading prosecutor in Washington scandal investigations. Escorted by a squad of attorneys Wheeler set up headquarters in the Park hotel and immediately authorized a statement charging his political enemies and especially Harry Daugherty, former attorney general, whom he ousted from office, with having instigated the charge upon which he will go to trial here tomorrow—a charge that he misused his senatorial office by appearing as attorney for a private client before a government. "Daugherty and his men are still behind the prosecution," Wheeler said. "One of the first men I saw in town was Asst. Attorney General Pratt who was sent out by Daugherty to get me." "Instead of prosecuting me, the department of justice ought to be trying a lot of the people we showed up in the Daugherty investigation." Then Sen. Robert M. LaFollette, with whom Wheeler was associated as vice presidential candidate in the last campaign, also broke his long silence and issued thru the Wheeler headquarters a statement charging the Republican administration with attempting to "get" Wheeler, and Sen. James R. Couzens, of Michigan, investigator of the treasury department. "That the Couzens committee which is investigating the tax bureau is on a hot trail is attested by the fact that the treasury department appears to regard it as necessary to do something to make him let up," LaFollette said. "Evidently it is decided that Couzens must be choked off or pionship of France. More fifty girls were entered in the chase, which was won by" MARKET SHOWS STRONG TREND NEW YORK, April 15—Stocks were given opportunity today to demonstrate that the current recovery was something more than a rebound from an oversold condition.

HALE SPEAKS ON WATER CONSERVATION An address on water conservation was the feature of last quarters a statement charged the Republican administration with attempting to "get" Wheeler, and Sen. James R. Couzeir, of Michigan, investigator of the treasury department. "That the Couzens committee which is investigating the tax bureau is on a hot trail at tested by the fact that the treasury department appears to regard it necessary to do something to make him let up," La Follette said. "Evidently it is decided that Couzens must be choked off or be discredited and besmirched." "Hence, the treasury department sets its sleuths to work. In their desperation they are forced to go back to the Couzens personal income tax record six years ago and demand additional tax payment of more than a million dollars. "The indictment against Sen. Wheeler was procured while he was successfully conducting an investigation of Atty. Gen. Daugerty. From the beginning he was subjected to espionage, personal villification and open and secret threats against his life." MANY INJURED IN MINERS OUTBREAK MORGANTOWN, W.

ALASKA COMPETE IN CROSS COUNTRY RACE BANCH MARATHON CHAMPIONSHIP THUSUALLY girls were entered in the title case, which was won by Milc. RECEPTION TO ALASKAN HEROES (Continued From Page One) to eyes accustomed to a treeless waste of snow and mud. Kasson, whose name is going before a Congressional committee, shortly to be considered for official honors as a remand for his Alaskan exploit, is declared to be absolutely unspoiled by the twist of fortune that has made him one of the most discussed men in America instead of an unknown "musher" of a few weeks ago. In fact, he describes the whole change in his world as a piece of luck—except where Balto is concerned. Balto, he insists, deserves all the credit for the safe delivery to Noone of the serum that ended the diptheria epidemic there. It was five o'clock on the morning of Feb. 2 that Kasson, chilled to the bone from the most gruelling "mush" of his career, drove his half frozen dogs into Nome and delivered his bag of serum to the anxiously waiting little group that greeted him. In turn he was handed a cablegram that bore the signature of Sol Lesser and a Los Angeles date line. The message proved to be an offer to bring big dogs and equipment back to the United States for the purpose of filming such phases of the rescue trip as could not be filmed at the time—largely because dogs and serum cannot be delayed while human lives hang in the balance. With characteristic economy of time and words, Kasson made his decision at once. "I'll go," he said. Whereupon he treated his dogs for their injuries, chiefly cuts by ice splinters, fed them and rolled himself into blankets for his first nap in forty-eight hours. Ten hours later he was headed south, arriving in Ranier National Park, where the picture was filmed on a rugged plateau of the snow covered peak. But his present tour is the...
