Bopp, German consul general, Vice
Consul Won Schaak, Turkish Consul
Hail., Baron Wilhelm von Brincken and
several other officials and attaches of
the German consulate here, will not
escape prosecution because Federal
Judge Dooling has virtually dismissed
the original federal indictment against
them. Just before its term of life ex-
pired this afternoon the grand jury
returned new Indictments against the
alleged bomb plotters clearing up the
weak points pointed out by Judge
Dooling in the first true bills.
Judge Dooling said the original in
dictment was faulty III being too gen.

tails OF the alleged plots to destroy
ships and trains of the entente allies.
To Mrs. Annette Adams. only wo-
man assistant United States district
attorney, goes the credit for the quick
of the new indictment.
When Judge Dooling ruled against the
government last night she realized
that she must work rapidly to have
the new true bills prepared before the

manned at her desk all night and all

tails and finished her task just at noon.

to vote further muddled instead OF
clearing the situation.
After an hour and half session be-
hind closed doors, the committee with
both Democrats AMI Republicans split
regarding warning resoi tion, re .ch-
ed no decision 1t adjourned unt.i Mon
day morning. with prospects that the
rule would not be framed until Tues
day morning Just before the vote.
Many Parliamentary Problems.
A dozen parliamentary problems and
methods were before the committee and
had pitfalls, both for the pro and anti
administration factions. Such an
anomalous parliamentary situation was
never presented since the famous
Cannon rules fight. No one house
member would hazard a prediction on
the outcome.
A rules fight. with parliamentary in
terpretations and jock eying, w en- the
resolution is finally reported, seems the
certain result. Here was the remark
able rules tangle situation presented:
The foreign affairs committee. COM
plying to the letter with President Will
sons request. reported the McLemore
warning resolution with the recon-
mendation that it be tabled. Chairman
Flood of the foreign affairs body, form
ally filed the report thi; afternoon
Technically tonight the McLemore re-
solution was tabled. Democrats ia or
ing warning resolution asserted that
now the administrators only plan, to
table the McLemore resolution by a
house vote, would result in merely talk
ing 1t from the table where It now
rests. and tabling it over again by
house vote. Realizing this endless
chain effect. the rules committee today
postponed action to get further ad-
vice.
Rules Committee Will Comply.
The rules committee today decided
that the foreign affairs committee made
an adverse report on the McLemore
resolution.
The upshot of the maze tonight ap-
peared to be that the rules committee
will comply with the presidents de-
mand. allow but most limited DEBATE
and let it all go to a vote
That many Democrats who oppose
the presidents course of refusing to
warn Americans and who really favor
a warning resolution, may vote to table
the McLemore document, was stated
tonight. Leader kitchin himself is
against 1t. He may vote to table It.
Inclusion in the McLemore re resolution
of much more than warning makes
1t Objectionable to pro- warning mem

cans the resolution has many radical
features and also provides for investi |

Of HELEN KELLER


Boston, Nov. 1S.-Helen Keller,
one OF the worlds most remarkable
women, blind, deaf and dumb until

married soon. 1t was learned here to-
day. Peter Pagan. her secretary, a

piled at the city hall here 10 days

according to City Registrar McGlen-

cause Fagan insisted ON absolute sec
recy until the marriage became a
fact.
The report was denied early today
by Fagan himself. who declared the
rumor to be ''the widest thing I've
heard OF in long time" but friends
said the only reason for secrecy was
the opposition to the match offered
by Mrs. John Macy. the woman who
has been Miss Keller's teacher since
girlhood.
