LONDON Jan. 19.—Sir George
Buchanan late British ambassador
at Petrograd has arrived in Lon-
don. Immediately he had a con- i
ference with Minister Balfour at the
foreign office and had breakfast
with Premier Lloyd George Satur-
day morning.
While bis health has been bene-
fited by his Journey from Petrograd. I
•nd by the relief from the con- :
stant strain of the last four years I
in Russia his physical condition isi
likely to make a long rest indis- I
per.sabie.. When the war broke out I
he was about to return home on a I
leave of absence after having com-:
pleted difficult and protracted ne- j
gotiations with the Russian gov-1
ernment. Since December 1913 hr ।
has enjoyed no leave or rest.
His responsibilities and exertion
during that period can rarely have
been equalled by those of any Brit-
ish or foreign diplomat.
Except for the conversations Sir
George Buchanan has had with his
official chiefs he is naturally reti-
cent. From his old friends and ac-
quaintances. however he has not
sought to hide his deep grief at the
plight into which Russia has fallen.
Sought Allied Aid for Russia.
He has believed in Russia and
has held that the Anglo-Russian
understanding would be a potential
Instrument for great good. He urged
upon his government during the
erisis in July. 1917 to not hesitate
In proving British loyalty toward
Russia. He made every effort dur-1
Ing the war to guide the late. Czar I
In the path of constitutional reform. |
When his advice was neglected the
revolution was brought on. which
resulted in the downfall of czar-
It is known that he worked to
remove the misunderstandings be-
tween the provisional government of
Russia and the allied democracies.
But he took no part in nor did he
approve of the ill-starred Korniloff
episode to which is attributable the
series of fatal misunderstandings be-
tween the Russian headquartetrs
and some members of the provi-
sional government. The advent of
the Bolshevik! cut him off from di-
rect connection with the de facto
rulers in northern Russia and the
breakdown of his health rendered
it imperative that he should be
freed from his embarrassing posi-
tion at the Russian capital.
Peace Yearning Everywhere.
Sir George prefers to make no
forecasts of the immediate prospects
tn Russia. Though the Bolshevikl
•re in power the conditions through-
out the country are chaotic. There
is everywhere an intense yearning
for peace. Even if the Bolshevists
are not strong there seems to be no
other organization or party in a
position to replace them. Through
famine or through failure of the
Brest-Litovsk negotiations or both
may lead to a revolt against the
Bolshevik! leaders by the revolu-
tionary socialists who form the ac-
tual majority in the constituent as-
sembly it is evidently his view that
the country may not have the pow-
er to create any workable organi-
zation. It now seems to be too late
for a coalition between the revolu-
tionary socialists and the bourgeoise
parties to save the situation as
might have been done months ago.
Many Favor Autocracy.
One element in the position ac-
cording to Sir George Buchanan
cannot be overlooked in that in the
Bolsheviki ranks there are many
reactionary elements some of which
are undoubtdetly working for a re-
storation of the autocracy though
neither Trotsky nor Lenine can be
Included in this category. They should
be judg?d as extreme revolution-
ary idealists rather than as consci-
ous tools of Germany but there is
room for the assumption that were
they compelled to abandon power
they would rather yield to an au-

MAN WHO WAS CONSUL
HERE FOR DIAZ DIES
AT HOME IN LAREDO
Dr. Plutarco Ornelas Who
Formed Bridge Company
Is Victim of Paralysis.
LAREDO Tex. Jan. 19.—Dr.
Plutarco Ornelas 63 formerly Mexi-
can consul at San Antonio Tex.
under the Diaz administration died
at his home here today following
an attack of paralysis. Since leaving
Mexico because of revolutions five
years ago. Dr. Ornelas had been a
practicing physician here.
Dr. Ornelas came here as Mexi-
can consul *in the latter eighties.
This was during the Diaz regime
and Dr. Ornelas retained the un-
qualified confidence of President
Diaz until the latter left Mexico.
It was generally reputed that his
father an e.uly comrade of Diaz
had saved the life of the man who
subsequently became president and
that Diaz never forgot it.
Dr. Ornelas was highly educated
having graduated in medicine and
surgery at the Jefferson Medical
College Philadelphia. He also was x
keen business man and it was Dr.
Ornelas who organized the com-
pany which built the international
bridges at Laredo and Eagle Pass.
This company got into difficulties
and the federal courts here under-
took to take possession of the
bridges but its jurisdiction did not
extend beyond the national bound-
ary and the company of which Dr.
Ornelas was president still retains
possession and c Elected tolls on the
Mexican ends of these bridges. This
litigation finally was settled through
the payment of $BOOOO in gold.
During the latter part of the Diaz
regime Dr. Ornelas was sent to Man
Francisco being appointed consul
general. Following a short stay
there he was transferred to New
Orleans and was there when the
Madero revolution developed and
the overthrow of President Diaz oc-
curred. He went from New Orleans
to Washington where he married
and later came back to Texas es-
tablishing himself in the practice of
his profession at Laredo.
It hau generally been understood
that it was Dr. Ornelas who took
steps to break up the Garza revolu-
tion. one of the uprisings in Mexico
which preceded the Madero revolu-
tion. This he is said to have done
while he was consul in San Antonio
and for it he was promoted and
sent to San Francisco.
Feared New Quarter
Might Be Spurious
Secret Service headquarters and
officers of the Sub-treasury have
been besieged during the last few
days for information regarding the
new issue of quarters which have
been circulated in the city says
the New York Evening Post. The
Brooklyn Rapid Transit and tlic
subway lines have refused to ac-
cept the coins and many of the
large banks including the National
City Bunk and the National Re*
s rve Bank have been puzzled
about the change in design.
John J. Henry of the New* York
office of the Secret Service said
that the new coin was not a coun-
terteit but merely a change in de-
sign ordered by Congress because
■he reading matter on the issue ol
JIM 7 was not distinct.
William Irving van Inwagen

sub-treasury is making every ef

MME. MAUD POWELL
INSPIRES AUDIENCE
WITH ADMIRATION
American Violinist Is Com-
pelled to Give Encore
After Encore.
?Jaud Powell distinguished Amer-
ican violinist was given an ovation
when she appeared in concert as-
sisted by Arthur Loesser pianist
Saturday evening at the Grand
Opera House. The large audience
which greeted her was insatiable
and demanded more and more so
that encores had to be given at the
conclusion of each group of num-
bers.
Madame Powell has appeared in
San Antonio a number of times be-
fore but at every appearance it
seems that she excels her own ex-
cellence of the time before. Sat-
urday night she was magnificent.
Her technique her interpretative
power and her fund of feeling in-
tuired the audience with admira-
tion.
She was ably and artistically as-
sisted by Mr. Loesser who proved
himself to be not only an under-
standing and sympathetic accom-
panist but a soloist of no mean at-
tainment. In the group of piano
solos (a) “Nocturne" for the left
band (ScHabine) (b) “Butterfly
Etude” G Fiat (Chopin) (c) “La
Campanella” (Paganini-Liszt) he
showed high ability and was obliged
to respond to enthusiastic applause.
The first section of Madame
Powell’s program showed her mas-
tciy in concerto and sonata. The
Mendelssohn E Minor Concerto
< pus 64 in three movements with
which the program was opened was
given magnificently. The beautiful
andante movement was especially
appreciated as was the finale with
its spontaneity and its bubbling
vivacity.
The Saint-Saens Sonata in D
minor for piano and violin in four
movements called forth the most
enthusiastic response particularly
the last movement wits its scherzo
and brilliant finale given with dash
ami spirit.
The remaining two groups were
of a lighter character and included
(a) “Love’s Delight” (Martini) and
(b) “Dance of Imps.’’ The saucy
e:fect of the last was particularly
effective. The “Wah-wah-taysee”
(Little Firefly) of Cadman was
given with deep feeling and the
' Waltzing Doll" of Poldini-Hartman
was especially pleasing with its sug-
gertion of mechanical effects.
The concluding number reached
the hearts of the audience by its
appeal to the national feeling so
strong at the present time. She
explained that she had arranged tht*
selection from American melodies
and that the group included “My
Old Kentucky Home” “Shine On”
“Old Black Joe” and “Kingdom
Coming.” The last she said was
played in a spirit of prophecy for
she believed that the “Kingdom”
which was coming was one that
meant peace and secure democracy
for the world.

GOVERNMENT AGENTS
DISCOVER PLOT FOR
ENEMY TERROR REIGN
Wholesale Destraction of
Ships Warehouses and
Canning Plants Feared.
SAN FRANCISCO Calif. Jan. 19.
—Warned by federal authorities of
the discovery of a plot to create a
reign of terror in • San Francisco
and the east bay cities police of
San Francisco and Oakland today
adopted stringent regulations in co-
operation with the fire departments
to be prepared for any emergency.
That there is a wholesale plot
for the destruction of ship yards
warehouses and canning plants to-
gether with shipping facilities and
that it had its inception among
ere my agents was the information
obtained by United States agents.
The strictest secrecy has been
maintained by both police and fed-
eral agents but it became known
tonight that extraordinary measures
have been undertaken to frustrate
the plotters. So threatening in fact
do the authorities regard the situa-
tion especially in Oakland that all
policemen and firemen temporarily
absent from duty in that city were
ordered back at once.
Clews to the identity of the ring
leaders have been obtained from a
mysterious source which the author-
ities refuse to disclose. These in-
dicate it is said that a woman is
the leader.
It was learned tonight that Col-
lector of the Port J. O. Davis called
into conference yesterday more
than a dozen customs and naval
officials and representatives of the
steamship and ship building com-
panies.
At this conference it is reported
it was decided to place bluejackets

bor which are engaged in foreign

A. & M. REPORT FILED
Sum of $2500000 Needed for Build-
ings During Next Ten Years.
AUSTIN Tex.. Jan. 19.—Sub-com-
mittee No. 9 of the legislative in-
vestigating committee has filed with
the central committee a complete
report bearing on the Agricultural
and Mechanical College and its fu-
ture policy. The report shows that
the authorities of the college esti-
mate the needs of the institution for
buildings covering a period of ten
years to be $2500000. The commit-
tee does not believe that this esti-
mate is at all excessive. The commit-
tee believes however that with a
revolving residence building fund of
$lOO.OOO the rental income would be
sufficient to provide for mainten-
ance and for all future additional
buildings required by the growth oi
the institution.
The report also shows that during
the 4 2 years the college has been in
operation it has enrolled 18.501 stu-
dents in its full course classes. The
Legislature has appropriated for the
support and maintenance of the in-
stitution during that period $2524.-
875; it has also appropriated in the
same time foP buildings and equip-
ment improvements $1936068
making a total of tho two purposes
