GERMANY WANTS
 TO INVESTIGATE If Mexicans Have Killed Subjects, :. Ill Take
 Action
TIRED OF "WAITING."
TeutOnS Said to Be Laughing at Eng. land for Allowing United States
 Full Sway.

Washington, March 5.-The true significance of the trip to Mexico by three members of the German em- bassy here was learned by the l. N. s. today. Capt. Franz Papen. mili- tary attache Capt. Boyed, naval att tache and Baron Won Lersner, second secretary, have been ordered to learn whether any German subjects are in danger in the territory controlled by Huerta. Ambassador I}ernsdorff of the German embassy, has informed Secretary of State Bry..u that his government will not follow English precedent, but will take the initiat- i've in obtaining punishment for the injury or de- tn of Germans.
 Capt. Papen, the military attache. informed President Wilson when he came here month ago that he prob- ably would go on to Mexico and in- vestigate conditions there.
 The President, it is understood, did not offer objections.
 Instead, of reporting to Washing ton as was at first stated, they will send their dispatches direct to the Government at Berlin. They have been specifically instructed to see that the Neutral Zone" around the German legation in Mexico City is not invaded by delligerant 'Mexicans and to report the first offense to their home office.
 Now Blame Y. s.
 Dissatisfaction with the policy of the United States is responsible for Germany's actions. Her foreign of flee has already lodged with the State Department her formal an- nouncement that Germany will hold directly responsible" any Mexican officials in whose territory German subject has been put to death. The Germans incidentally are rid eculing the policy of England in leav- ing to the United States the task of strengthening out the international tangle caused by the death of Will liam s. Benton. Since the announce ment that three attaches of the Ger man embassy here were leaving Washington, Ambassador Bernsdorff has been in communication with the German legation at Mexico City. The reports he has thus far received do not indicate that there is any im- mediate danger.

NAME COMMITTEES
 FOR CONVENTION Progressive League Lays Plans for Interscholastic
 Assn. Convention.
MEETS HERE IN MAY.
Elaborate Plans Being Made to Enter tain VisitOrS-4,0O Expected
 to Come.

With committee named to have full charge of all arrangements and to have the appointment of all other subsidiary committees which will have charge of various departments, an active step was taken last night by the Young Mems Progressive League in planning for the big track meet and Interscholastic Association to be held in Pine Bluff in May.
 The executive committee appointed will at once get down to the work of putting routine machinery in mo- ton and in view of the fact that many details are to be handled, and likewise that there is a very large attendance expected, it is considered that the time is none too far off. Con- sidering the fact that there will be be- tween $500 and 40OO visitors. the task of entertaining is no small item of itself
 Those who have been named to take care of all the major and minor de- tails are: R. T. Louthan, chairman; i; J. H. Ancrum, J. R. Bloom, Harold Bluthenthal. w. M Harrison, Clifton Howell, H. P. Jordan, H. H. Knox. w. Orto, Henry Roberts, Minor Wood 1 ward and w. H. .Deever.
 According to the present plans, this committee will hold a meeting this week and preliminary matters will be determined upon. The work of mak- ing plans in time is emphasized by the fact that the work on the new athletic field has been rapidly pro- gressing and that when completed within a short time, it will be ac- counted one of the finest tracks of the south.
 I The minstrel to be given by the League was discussed at length and plans were laid to boost and adver- tise it during the coming week. The
 minstrel is being given to help de- | fray the expenses of the convention

days ago, and which culminated early this afternoon when both men met in an uptown saloon.
 McMahon surrendered to the police immediately after the shooting. Mo 'Mahon, according to the police, had garbled with Stiles few days ago and lost $52. McMahon claims the game was crooked and when he asked Stiles to return his money, the latter refused to do so. Last night at midnight McMahon says, he left the fire station where he is stationed, and started out to look for Stiles,, but did not find him until two o'clock this afternoon, when he immediately opened fire.
 McMahon is 26 years old, and has a wife and two small children.

ever may be our own differences of opinion concerning this much debat- ed measure, it's meaning is not debat- ed outside the United States. Every where else the language of the treaty is given but one interpretation, and that interpretation precludes the ex- emption l am asking you to repeal. We consented to the treaty; it's lan- guage we accepted. If we did not originate it, we are too big, too pow erful, too self-respecting nation to interpret with too strained or refined reading the words of our own prom ises just because we have power enough to give us leave to read them as we please. The large thing to do is the only thing we can afford to do, voluntary withdrawal from posi- tion everywhere questioned and mis- understood. We ought to reverse our action without raising the question l whether we were right or wrong and so once more deserve our reputation for generosity and the redemption of every obligation without quibble or hesitation.
 "I ask this of you in support of the l foreign policy of the administration. I shall not know. how to deal with other matters of even greater delica- cy and nearer consequence if you do not grant it to me in ungrudging measure"
 Tolls an Old Question.
 The Panama tolls question has been subject of dispute for nearly two years. Ee,lomatic correspondence be- tween Great Britain and the United States found the question unsettled when President Taft left office. Elk cept for an assurance to James i Bryce, then British Ambassodar, when he left the United States year age that the question would be taken uI in the regular session of Congress President Wilson has never directed any official communication to Eng land on the tolls question. The Pres ident recently told callers he had nev' CT discussed the matter formally ol Informally with Sir Cecil Spring-Rice the British ambassador here, because he believed the obligation on the part of the United States to repea the exemption clause was one whicf the government itself should realize without influence or pressure.

They Tear Down Vacant House
 to Build Camp Fire.
 Richmond, Cal, March 5.-Unable to make arrangements for railroad transportation and with cities along their line of march preparing to re- fuse aid of any kind, the 1,5O0 unem- ployed men who are marching on to Washington, are in serious predica- ment. Driven from their camp at the Emeryville race track by an armed force of officers, the army reached here this afternoon and went into camp three miles from the city linn it's, only to receive notice from the Richmond police that their presence would not be tolerated, and that they must leave town tomorrow morning. It is the present plan of the city officials to escort them across the line to Solano county, where in all proba- bility, hunger will force the army to disband.
 A small sized riot occurred this af- ternoon when members of the party attempted to tear down a vacant house to secure fuel for their camp fires. A force of police went to the scene and clubs were used when the orders to move on were not obeyed The army is practically without pro- visions and the Richmond authorities will supply food for only one day.

INDICT CASHIER
 0N FIVE COUNTS Claude Anderson, of Mer- cantile, Held by Shelby
 Grand Jury.
MORE AGAINST RAINE.
Twelve Additional Ones for Former President Majority of Dep0Sit0rs
 Had Small Amounts.

Memphis, March 5.-Claude Ander- son, cashier of the failed Mercantile Bank was indicted on five counts here today by the Shelby County grand jury.
 At the same time twelve additional indictments were returned against (. Hunter Raine, president of the bank, now in jail on an indictment charg- ing larceny, embeZZlement and fradu- lent breach of trust, which grew out of the failure of the Mercantile Bank
 The indictments against Anderson charge fradulent breach of trust, lar ceny, receiving funds in an insolvent institution, making a false statement to the superintendent of banks, and swearing to a false bank statement.
 The new indictments returned against Raine charge issuing false bank statement and receiving in an insolvent institution.
 Mos Depositors Small.
 On.y 25S of the 5,500 depositors of the Mercantile Bank had deposits amounting to more than $1O0O each when the bank failed. That includes commercial and savings accounts and certificates of deposit. A small num- Der of hills of exchange, the exact number of which has not been ascer- tained. is not included. The exchange referred to was refused by New York banks. Some of 1t is still in transit
 J. l.. Hutton, receiver, hopes to secure the signature of enough de- positors with accounts in excess ot $1 000 before the end of the current week to make up the $200,0O0 short age which will have to be met to pay the other depositors in full
 More than 5000 will be paid in full if the plan on which Mir. Hutton is working meets with success. MT Hutton is pleased with the progress made. Only 25S have been asked te sacrifice any part of their deposits They have been asked to cOncede 2 per cent of their claims in order tha the affairs of the bank may bt promptly closed up, expenses and liti gation avoided and that 95 per cen of the depositors, those the least able to lose, may be paid in full. About two-t thirds of the depositor! asked to accept a loss, temporary only, perhaps, have signed agree ments to compromise for 75 per cent | Few have shown disposition tt hold back.
 q have observed less of the let 1 e-other- fellow -do-it spirit in Mem phis than in any other place l have | ever been," commented Mir. Hutton yesterday.

READS MESSAGE
 0N CANAL TOLLS Strongly Urges Repeal of CoastWise Vessels Be-
 ing Exempt.
FROM PAYING THEM
In Shortest Message Recorded, Will. son Says Policy Planned Is Viola.
 ti0n of Treaty With England.

Washington, March 5.-President Wilson personally appealed to Con- gress, assembled in joint session to- day, to sustain the national honor of the United States in upholding treaty obligations by repeating the Panama tolls exemption against which Great Britain protests. He asked Congress ito do that "in support of the foreign policy of the administration and added that an exemption for American ships, not only was "a mistaken eco- homie policy" but was in contraven- tion of tie Hay-Pauncefoote treaty
 "I shall not know how to deal with others matters of ever greater delica cy and nearer consequences if you do not grant it to me in ungrudging measure" said the President.
 1.-The large thing to do is the only Hing we can afford to do; volun- Vary withdrawal from a position ev- erywhere questioned and misunder- stood. We ought to reverse our ac- tion without raising the, question whether we were right or wrong, and so once more deserve our reputation for generosity and the redemption of every obligation without quibble or hesitation"
 Is, Shortest Recorded. ,......
 President Wilson's address, the shortest that he has yet delivered to Congress-exNtly APO words-was as follows:
 "Gentlemen of the Congress: l have come to you upon an errand, Whlch can be very briefly performed, but beg you will not measure its import ance by the number of sentences in which I state it. No communication I have adressed to the Congress car rieid with it graver or more far Reaching implications to the interest of the country, and I come now to speak upon a matter with regard to which I am charged, in a peculiar degree, by the Constitution itself, with personal responsibility.
 q have come to ask for the repeal of that provision of the Panama Ca nal act of August "A, 1912, which ex- empts vessels engaged in the coast wise trade of the United States from payment of tolls, and to urge upon you the justice, the wisdom and the large policy of such repeal with the utmost earnestness of which l am capable.
 "In my own judgment, very fully Aconsidered and maturely formed, that exemption constitutes a mistaken eco homie policy from every point o' view, and is, moreover, in plain con- travention of the treaty with Great Britain concerning the canal con cluded on November IS, 1901. But, have not come to you to urge my personal views. have come to state to you a fact and situation. What
