PLANNEDMURDER

Chicago, Jan. 1S-Further investi-
CATION into the alleged plot of Giving
and Herbert Updike to kill their par
ents was undertaken today by police
who are cooperating with the Updike
family in clearing up the mystery.
Furman D. Updike, millionaire re-
tired broker, today refused to furnish
bail for his sons, both of whom are in
custody, charged with conspiracy to
commit felony.
Although it was said at the time of
the arrest that Herbert Updike was
held only as witness. statement by
the boys father that he considered his
sons equally guilty, and the report
that Herbert married Chicago caba-
ret entertainer influenced the police to
investigate further.
According to the police, Herbert Up
dixie on Jan. married Miss Nellye De
Onsonne, a cabaret singer, at Crown
Point, Ind. The authorities say a mar
riage license is on file at the county
clerks Office in Crown Point, showing
that the ceremony was performed by a
justice of the peace. The young wom-
an and Herbert, however, deny that
they are married.
Furman D. Updike's statement re.
garding his son Herberts part in the
conspiracy said in part:
Il have no intention of giving bal,

that Herbert is virtually as guilty as

Announcement Made Re.
flutes Statement Regard
ing Papers Seized.

Berlin, Jan. IS, (by wireless to Say
ville).-A denial that Captain Won Pap
en-, recalled German military attache
at Washington, paid money to indi-
viduals in the United States in connec-
ton with attempts to blow up NUM-
tons factories or bridges was made to-
day by the semi official Overseas News
Agency.
The agency's statement follows:
British press reports state that the
former German military attache at
Washington, Captain Won Papen, had
in his possession letters and bank
books, seized by the British at Fall
mouth, which contain evidence that
he paid money to persons connected
with explosions in munition factories
in the United States, and to other GRIM
inals. The Overseas News Agency
hears from competent authorities that
these assertions are not correct.
Only Business Affairs.
Captain Won Papen's letters and
| bank books, which were seized in vio-
lation of the safe conduct guaranteed
to him are purely personal character
or have to do with usual business af-
fairs. Captain Won Papen never paid
money to persons connected with at
tempts of alleged attempts against mu-
milton plants, bridges or any other
American property. No check was
ever paid to Werner Horn, who is &C
cused of an attempt to blow up Ca
madam railway bridge.
Didn't Live on Borrowed Money.
1T is evident that the German mill
tary attache never lived on money
borrowed. Therefore the payments he
received from Ambassador Won Bern
storff were for expenses in connection
with conducting his Office. The let
tiers and check book stubs, if repro
duced in facsimile, would prove tina
nothing in the way of illegal relations
was established between the dates O.
such payments and of criminal at
tempts.
Used as Counterbalance!
The British press reports evidentl!
are intended to counterbalance the bal
impression created by the publication
of the letters concerning Greece which
were taken from Colonel H. Napier
former British military attache at So
fla. 1t evidently is hoped to stir VI
i'll feeling against Germany at a tim
when Great Britain is observing will
regret the improvement in German
American relations"

GOOD REPORT IN
EXPORTS SHOWN

Washington, Jan. 1S.-War's reduc-
ton of imports of chemicals, drugs
and dyes into the United States and
its effect on prices of these materials
is shown in customs figures made pub
lie today. While imports in 1916
dropped to about half the 1914 record
in quantity, increasing prices kept to-
tai values almost to the 1914 figures.
Prices in most cases increased in d.
rect ratio to diminished imports.
Chemicals, drug and dye imports last
year were valued at S80,000,000 only
about 100000 less than the 1914
valuation. In 1918, however. these i'm
ports were put at s101 100000.
Dyewood imports in 1915 almost
doubled 1914 shipments, despite the
British embargo on logwood shipments
from Jamaica and British Honduras.
These dyes to a large extent replaced
artificial dyes formerly obtained from
Germany.

cast is for more rain.
Many families have been made home

the lowlands, numerous bridges hav-

Steam railroad service was greatly

cities depending on electric interur-

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Judge Henry
D. Clayton Of Alabama, congressman
from that state for IS years, is the
selection of many political wiseacres
as the man who will be chosen by
President Wilson to fill the vacancy
on the supreme court bench caused
by the death Of Justice Lamar.
Many Of the objections found in
the others mentioned prominently
for the place are lacking in the case
of Judge Clayton. He left congress
in 1914 to accept his present judicial
position. At the time Of his resig-
nation he was chairman of the ju-
dicial committee of the house which
reported the federal trade commits
sion bill and the measure which after
its amendment became known as the
Clayton act.

WILSON OUTLINES
SPEAKING TRIPS

Washington, Jan. DETERIORATION
Of itineraries for several speaking
trips President Wilson expects to take
within the next few months, to lay
the preparedness program before the
country, was begun today at the
White house.
The president believes that in some
sections of the country the necessity
for strengthening the army and navy
is not fully recognized. Invitations
to visit more than four hundred cities
have been received.
Indications are that the president
will deliver most of the addresses in
the middle west, with possibly some
in the south.
