New York, April 1S.-Captain Franz
! Won Papen, recalled military attache
to the German embassy at Washing
ton, was indicted by the federal grand
/ jury here as the organizer and tinan-
! cier of an alleged conspiracy to blow
/ up the Welland canal in Canada. With
! him also were indicted Captain Hans
Tauscher, alleged agent of the Krupps
in the United States and husband OF
Nine. Johanna Gadski, the prima
donna; Constantine Govari, Alfred j.
Fritzen and another man whose name
has not been revealed. 1t was learned
from a reliable source that the last
named is a prominent German whose
name has been mentioned frequently
in connection with German propa-
ganda.
Federal officials do not expect to
bring Won Papen to trial. While he is
no longer immune from prosecution by
the United States civil authorities,
since he ceased to be a member of the
German embassy staff. the offense with
which he is charged is not extraditable
under any treaty with a foreign gov
ernment.
The Indictment, it is understood
was returned with the sanction of the
department of justice and is believed
to establish a precedent. No effort will
be made to have Won Papen brought
here but the indictment will be held in
allegiance in case he should ever re-
turn to the United States.
The indictment charges, in addition
to the Welland canal plot, that it was
the purpose and intent of the defend
ants to blow up and destroy other
plants in Canada.
Won Papen was designated by fed
eral officials as the ''brains" of the
alleped cooSniracy
1t is alleged in the indictment that
he, with the others, began, set on
foot, provided and prepared the means
for a certain military enterprise to be
carried on from within the territory
and jurisdiction of the United States
against the territory and dominions
of the king of Great Britain, with
whom the United States at all times
mentioned was and is at peace.
The names made public were, &C
cording to the indictment, merely
agents and employees of Won Papen,
who planned the conspiracy and fur
nished the money and high explosives.
The five men alleged to have carried
dynamite and other explosives in suit
cases to Niagara Falls, where the plot
was abandoned, were Horst Won der

DOROTHY ARNOLD
MYSTERY MAY
Be CLEARED UP

Cranston, r. l.. April 18.-The
than five years ago of Miss Dorothy
Arnold, member of a wealthy New
York family, may be solved by the
confession OF Edward Glen
norris, an inmate Of the state prison
here, giving details of her burial in
the cellar of a house outside West
Point, N. Y. The young woman had
died in the house, he said, after being
removed in an unconscious condition
from New Rochelle. N. Y, where she
had been operated on.
In q statement to Warden A. J.
Davis of the prison, which he made
three weeks ago, and which he re-
peated to newspaper men today, the
prisoner said he was paid $3.50 for
what he hid by a wealthy man"
whose name he did not know. An
accomplice whom he had known as
Little Louie" hired him at Seventh
avenue saloon in New York, according
to his story, and drove the automobile
which carried the young woman from
New Rochelle to West Point.
The prisoner fixed December, 1910,
as the time of the events which he
described. 1t was on December IL,
of that year, that Dorothy Arnold left
Arnold, a wealthy New York i'm
porter, and dropped out of sight.
Glennorris, who still has six months
of a two year sentence to serve for at
tempted extortion from a Providence
clergyman, expressed his willingness
to assist in locating the house in
which the body was buried and that
from which the young woman was
taken. He felt confident that he could
find them again, although he said he
had been at these places only at night.
When questioned further as to his
belief that the dead woman was Miss
Arnold, Glennorris said he had in
sisted upon knowing her name on the
way to West Point and was told that
it was Dorothy Arnold"
Warden Davis said last night that
when the prisoner told the story three
weeks ago he had expressed the fear

PROVES WINNER

Grand Forks, N. D., April 1S.-Pres.
P. o. Thorson, c. E. Garvin, Herman
Luck and l.. E. Birdzell were elected
| to the Grand Forks school board at the
election held yesterday.
The main factor of the election was
the unusually heavy vote cast by the
women, which exceeded that of the
men in the Seventh ward and ap-
preached that of the opposite sex
throughout the city.
Two of the three members of the
present board who were candidates for
reelection were successful
The result marks a victory for the
forces that are in favor of the plans
for new high school that have been
mapped out by the present board of
education.

PLANS OF
CONGRESS
FOR WEEK

Washington, April 18.-Congress is
going ahead rapidly on the legislative
program with it's working machinery
unimpeded by excitement over inter
national affairs. Although there has
been more tense anxiety regarding the
German and Mexican situation in the
last week than at any time since the
session began, members of both houses
have been keeping strictly to the busi-
ness of legislation and little time has
been wasted in prolonged discussions
Of diplomatic relations such as char
acteriZed the sessions earlier in the
year.
Silence in congress is by no mans
an indication that there is no interest
there in international affairs, however.
In fact, the quiet is ominous, indicat-
ing unusual interest and concern, par
ticularly with regard to the submarine
issue and the probable action to be
taken by the administration regarding
! it. Senate and house leaders of the
! foreign relations committee are daily
expecting a call to the White House
or Secretary Lansing's office, where
they are to be informed what the ad-
ministration proposes to do as soon
as the plan Of action is determined.
Army Bill.
The senate now is aCcelerating dis

bill, which is to be passed Tuesday, in
all probability. 1t is probable that de-
bate on the bill under the five minute
rule may extend the discussion another
day, but, in any event, the measure
will be passed before the end Of the
week and because of the radical diff
ferences between the senate and house
bills, protracted conference is ex-
pected. When the bill is disposed of,
the senate probably will take up the
good roads bill which has been re-
ported by the postoffice committee.
Brandeis Case.
Interest in the senate also attaches
to the Brandeis case and the Judiciary
committee is meeting again today to
consider the subcommittee report rec
ommending Brandeis' confirmation as
a nominee for justice Of the supreme
court. A vote is not expected imme-
diately.
With the agricultural application bill
disposed Of probably on Wednesday, or
Friday, at the latest, the house prob
ably will begin consideration of the
Philippine bill.

ion on both sides of the house and

NEAR BEER DEALERS
HAVE BEEN WARNED

Lincoln. Neb., June Estate Food
Commissioner c. E. Hartman finds
that manufacturers OF beer and near
beer are placing their product on sale
In many Nebraska towns, especially
in towns that recently went dry. He
intends to enforce the State food laws
which requires the percentage of al
cohoi, no matter how small it may be.
to be branded plainly on the label.
After dealers in drinks comply with
this law they run the risk OF being
prosecuted under the slocumb law of
Nebraska. or being taken in hand by
Federal authorities without a govern
ment license" II their goods con-
tain more than per cent alcohol,
they must obtain a permit or license
tax from the government. If they
sell drinks containing alcohol they
are likely to be prosecuted by watch
ful local people interested In enforc-
ing the State law against the illegal
sale of intoxicants
The State food department Is inter-
ested first In requiring the least trace
of alcohol to be indicated on the label
AT Dewitt the State food department
once confiscated and poured into the
sewer $4,000 bottles Of liquid that con-
tanned 4 per cent alcohol The MN
ufacturer who had headquarters in
another State also paid a fine. The
seizure cost him about $1,000.
MFR. Hartman says the manufacturers
are using all sorts of schemes to
cover up their business. One plan liz
to pack the top and bottom of bar
rels with bottles containing a small
amount Of alcohol and to place heav-
ily-spiked bottles IN the middle of
the barrel. For this reason an analy-
sis of one sample from barr,l of bot
tied goods may not be a true indica-
ton OF the entire contents. The label
on each bottle must show the true
percentage of alcohol. or the bottle
Is deemed misbranded under the State
food law. Mr.. Hartman will analyze
50 NIPPLES sent to him free of charge.
He urges dealers who do not care to
deal In alcohol to have their goods
ana1yZed.
