American Government
MAN WHO POSES AS
OFFICER ARRESTED
Statement to Police Says He
Dynamited Bridge to
Help Country,

NANCEBORO, Me-, Feb, 2--Another
Y International problem incident to
the war was thrust upon the United
States today by the action OF Werner
Van Horn, who, operating on the Can
adian side Of the border, dynamited
the railway bridge over the st. CroiX
river and then escaped into this state.
A few hours later in a room at a
hotel here Van Horn quietly submitted
TO arrest, but Immediately proclaimed
himself an officer of the German army
and set up the claim that he had com.
mitted an act Of war, and having fled
to a neutral country, could not be
legally surrendered to an enemy of
the fatherland.
The Canadian authorities, however
at once instituted proceedings to OBJ
tain Van Horns eXtradition on a
charge of destruction of railroad prop
erty. Pending the outcome OF these
efforts, Van Horn Is held at the i'm
migration office here in custody OF
Deputy Sheriff George w. Ross Of
Washington county.
The bridge which Van Horn sought
to destroy was not greatly damaged.
Within a few hours cars were shunted
across one at time, the passengers
walking over on the ice. BY morn
ing. railroad officials say, the bridge
will be strong enough for trains to use
II without uncoupling.
The st. Croix river for some dis
tance forms the boundary between
Maine and New Brunswick.
The bridge is owned jointly by the
Maine Central and the Canadian Pac-
ific railways and is on the direct
route of the Canadian Pacific from
western Canada TO the maritime prov
inces. over this road have been
shipped large quantities of war ma
terials for the allies, which were
placed on board ships at st. John and
Halifax.
Too Cold to Escape.
According to the police, Van Horn
n man of middle age and of military
hearing, told them that he left Ger
many five years ago and for the past
four years had been managing a cor
fee plantation in Mexico. Recently
he made unsuccessful attempts 10
return to his native land.
Friday night he left New York city,
arriving here Saturday night and stay
ing at a hotel. That night, by ap-
pointment, he met a man unknown
TO him at the east end of the bridge.
The man gave him a satchel contain
fne dynamite Van Horn suspended
the gatchel from the inside OF an END

County Treasurer John Kramer Of
Tulsa county 10 assess the capital
stock and leases Of oil companies and
ordered Mr.. Kramer to conduct a
hearing in Tulsa and decide the case
himself.
Tax Ferret G. II. Plttman, who is
attempting to compel the assessment
Of these concerns on their capital
stock, etc, was on hand when tho
mandamus case came up for argu-
ment and Judge G. b. Stuart also ap-
peared for the state.
Grassland Represented Kramer.
Kramer was represented by County
Attorney Ed Grassland and Tom Lyons
Of the well-knOwn Tulsa law firm OF
Rice x Lyons. James h. Diggs OF
the Gulf Pipe Line company and G. b.
Amcs of Oklahoma City, representing
large concerns that are affected, also
appeared in the case.
Kramer will hold hearing on the
subject but has already made up his
mind that he cannot legally make
the assessment Pittman asks for.
The concerns affected have already
paid taxes on their physical property
and TO assess them on their capital
stock and other intangible assets
would be requiring them to pay a
double tax, In Kramer's opinion.

sure Through
PRESIDENT CONFERS
WITH THE LEADERS
Proposed Legislation May
BE Sent Back for Many
Amendments.

w AsHINGToN Feb. Extra
w ordinary efforts We're exerted
today and tonight by administration
leaders Of the senate to save the gov
ernment ship purchase bill from
threatened defeat or consignment to
a pigeonholc for this session of con-
gress.
Up to a late hour tonight, with the
Democratic majority still struggling
over the legislative dilemma nothing
but tentative plans OF procedure had
been disclosed These included propo-
sitions for revision of the pending bill
to draw support from the Progressive
Republican senators and proposals de-
signed to win back at least six OF the
seven Democrats who Joined with the
Republicans yesterday In an effort to
send the measure back to the COM
merce committee.
Preliminary skirmlshes at the cap
| itol and White House were begun
early In the day President Wilson
conferred with several Progressive
Republican senators In regard to their
Ideas on the proposed legislation, the
Democratic majority considered meth
DDS Of procedure TO regain it's lost
ground, and the seven recalcitrant
Democrats conferred among them
selves with the avowed purpose OF
standing firm until satisfactory terms
should be presented to them.
As u result of this complicated sit
uation the Democratic conference ap-
pointed special committee OF three
mbers-Senators Fletcher, Sim
mons and Martin--to conduct negoti-
auons with senator's OF both parties,
with a view TO ascertaining what sup
port could be gained FOR the bill, and
upon what points OF revision. This
special committee was prepared to
report progress at the second caucus
tonight, and held out hope to their
colleagues that ultimate success would
be theirs.

Bankhead, Clarke Camden. Hard
wick, Hitchcock. O'Gorman and Yard

committee several times during tho
day and asked for a stipulation OF
terms upon which they might recon-

tiOn that II might first be wise to re-

be no change In the revOlters atti-

Germans Deliver Blows on
Allied Lines in Flanders
and France.
LOSSES ARE HEAVY
Won Hindenburg with Army
Tries to Break Through
to Warsaw.

I ONDON, Feb. 2.-GO:45 p. nj
IL During the last few days the
Germans have been making desperate
efforts to break the deadlock which
has existed for so long on both the
eastern and western fronts.
They have delivered a series Of at
tacks. always preceded by artillery
activity, on the allied lines in Elan
ders and France, and while In almost
every case they have thus won a pre-
liminary advantage, before the fight
ing was concluded the French, British
or Belgians have been able to regain
the trenches temporarily lost and in
some cases to occupy tho German
positions.
In these attacks, according to the
reports Of the British and French
general staffs, the Germans have suf-
fered severe losses
The German artillery has been sub
jccting the Belgian positions I'm Flan-
ders 10 severe bOmbardment, which
suggests that the moment has arrived
for another effort to get across the
User and thence to the French coast
ports.
In return the French have bonn
Dafueu the railway station AT NOyOn,

behind their advanced lines.
Hope to Reach Warsaw.
More serious attacks, however,
have been made against the Russian
lines I'm central Poland. Faced by
thanking movements both north and
south, Field Marshal Won Hndenburg
made a desperate effort, which ap-
parently Is to be renewed, to break
through to Warsaw and thus not only
gain a great military and political
advantage for Germany but at the
same time release the pressure on
Hungary and east Prussia, I'm each Of
which regions the Russian troops are
slowly pushing forward.
The fighting TO the west and SOUTH
west OF the Polish capital has been
OF "A most desperate character and
the Germans were at first successful
but the Russian official report de-
clares that the Russians. by a coun-
ter-attack. regained most Of the lost
ground. The report adds that the
German losses were colossal.
The German official account sim
ply says Of the fighting there: we
are making progress"
