EXTRA SESSION
 NOT NECESSARY
President Wilson Will Exert Efforts To Force BeIIioerents To Re-
 spect American Rights.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Presi- dent Wilson this morning smilingly informed a number of reporters that he mad abandoned his intention of calling 8 special session of the now congress. He frankly stated that he regretted that the administrators Ship Purchasing measure had not passed but that he did not regard 1t of sufficient importance to call a sepecial session of congress to secure action.
 He expressed the belief that his time and that of the other members of the cabinet would be fully occu' ped in handling the European situ- ation which was steadily becoming more complicated but which need oc- casion no alarm in America as the United States would observe a pol icy of strict neutrality.
 President Wilson stated that the State Department had entered a pro- test against the interference of non- contraband shipping from neutral ma. tions to the warning nations and he would exert his efforts to make the belligerents respect the American flag and the lives and property of its citizens.

PLOTTED TO DESTROY NEW YORK
anarchists Arrested After Placing Under St. Pa Cathedral Where Eht Hundred Persons To Have Been Signal for
 of Reign Wealthy Banks and Business Houses Had Been Revealed By Secret vice Man Who Had Won Confidence of Anarchists

The bombs were heavily charged and would have razed the buildings selected for destruction by the an archists. Through information gain ed by the secret service official who was taken into the confidence of the bomb manufacturer the police were able to seize the bombs before they could be distributed to the members of the society who were to work in the down town district of the city. The anarchists were permitted by the police to place the bombs under the cathedral before springing the trap, which, it is believed, will result in the conviction of the members of the society.

GERMAN SHIPPING
 AGENTS ARRESTED
Big Hamburg-American Line Officials Arrested for Making False Ship
 ping Manifests.

NEW YORK, March "A sensation was created here yesterday when sev. eral prominent officials of the Ham burg.American Steamship Company were arrested on indictments return ed by a federal grand jury on the charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States government by mak- ing false manifests which enabled them to ship contraband goods to Germany.
 It is reported that the Hamburg American company has been acting for smaller shipping concerns and ar ranged their cargoes and sailing dates. Several of the independent steamers flying the American flag when seized by the British cruisers and taken to England were found to have an entirely different cargo from that shown in the manifest. Cotton bales which had been examined by X-rays before leaving New York were found to have been exchanged for bales containing copper, and other contrabands.

tectives were on hand at the places designated and arrested the members of the anarchistic society.
 The discovery of the plot and the arrests of scores of the members of the society has created intense ex- citement in the city and hundreds of special police and watchmen are guarding the residences of the wealthy citizens and business blocks.
 The secret service officials assert that the anarchists have been work ing among the unemployed of the city and that the destruction of Saint Patrick's cathedral would have been followed by general lotting and pill laging in all parts of the city.

There is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it q
local disease and prescribed local reme-
dies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven Catarrh to be q
constitutional disease. and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
