MANN. REBUkES '. :" F DEMOCRATS FOR

Republican Leader Chides Texan for Attack on
 President Wilson.

Washington, Jan. 28-In a vigorous speech in the house today, Republican Leader James R. Mann rebuked the Democratic pacificigts for their fail- ure to see the "true situation which confronts us." f.a5
 He led the way toward non-par- gisan support of legislation for in- creased defense by replying force- fully to the Democratic attacks on the administrators preparedness plan.
 Following the opening of President Wilson's speech-making tour, Repre- sentative Dies. Texas Democrat, to+k occasion to excoriate those who favor increased national defense. in cidentally condemning 'intemperate, idiotic talk going forth from public men,"
 MT. Mann immediately took the floor.
 While the president of the United States, who ought to know more about the actual situation than any member of the house." he said, "is going around the country to state the case on his side. 1t were more be- coming for the members of his party iE this house to at least await his statement before abusing him as talking idiotically' as the gentleman from Texas said"

Pitiless Cross Examination Fails to Link Her With q Killing.
ADMITS GUILT OF
 ALL EXCEPT MURDER
WOman's Own Admission Shows Her to Be Cold, Calculating, Scheming Female-Everything a Woman
 Should Not Be.
(BY DOROTHY DIX.o

Providence, R. l., Jan. 2S-Gray- faced, haggard and worn, but with her nerves strung to fighting pitch Mrs. Mohr came upon the witness stand this afternoon, to do battle again with Attorney-General Rice, for her freedom.
 Sometimes she wept, sometimes she smiled, and sometimes she ragged fur iously, but she never broke down or went to pieces. Her voice, that would have been inaudible the day before rang out today with defiance.
 It was pitiless cross-examination that dragged out alll of her sordid, shameful little secrets, and published them to the world.
 When it ended, it had shown her not only as woman who had con- tracted a common law marriage, but whose husband claimed that when she did inveigle him into going through a marriage ceremony with her, he was so intoxicated he did not know what he was doing.
 And it showed this husband asking for a divorce from her on the ground of cruelty and infldelity.
 It showed her charged by her hus- band with plotting with a servant girl to accuse him of an unmentionable crime, in order to get divorce. And 1t showed that this girl, whose name she was willing to sacrifice as poor, ignorant soul, was her own first
 It showed her not only spying upon her husband through his servants and chauffeurs and his office assistants, but as blighting the innocence of her own little son, only ten years old, by revealing to him the relations exist ing between his father and Miss Burger, so that he could keep watch upon them.
 :. It showed her as tormenting her husband, and belittling him in every possible way, and when he died as being so greedy for the money he left behind him that in less than an hour after she got word of his death, she had sworn out an application as cus- todian for his estate, and was at his office, taking possession of it.
 And it showed her poor, blum dering, stupid fabricator who would say one, thing one minute and exact ly the opposite the next.
 But it had not undeniably and un- mistakably linked her with the mur- der.
 Try as he might, MT. Rice could not make her admit that the two ne- gro boys had come to her house on the night they asserted they did, and on which they claimed they made with her the final arrangements for the assassination of her husband, and she flatly denied over and over again that she made assertions to the po- lice of this, that they say she did.
 And so the case stands at the end of the defense's star witness testi- mony.

RAILROADS PLAN :. TO JOIN ISSUES Z.
 0h ...' 8.h0UR DAY
Propose Organization Gen eral Committee to Meet
 New Situation.

New York, Jan. 2S.-Officials of the leading railways of the United States are considering plan to organize a gensral conference committee of the railway managers of the whole country to negotiate with represen- tatives of the four brotherhoods Of railway employees which are voting on the question of whether to de- mand an eight-hour working day. It is stated that if this plan is put into effect it will be for the first time in the history of the country.
 The plan has been proposed be- cause it is recognized that the railway officials have no adequate method of meeting the extraordinary situation now confronting them., Never before has there been labor movement of such magnitude among railway em- ployes, say the officials.
 The national conference is intend ed to afford the operators and the brotherhoods medium through which the eight-hour issue can be discussed as affecting the entire country without splitting the negotia- tions into districts. The proposal is undertood to have the enforcement of labcr officials.

 French Report.

London, Jan 2S.-The Germans have begun their great drive in A.tois.
 Following artillery preparation lasting 24 hours, four successive at tacks were launched today at differ ent parts of the French front. They gained a footing in advanced French trenches at one point. The other at lacks were repulsed, according to the Paris official report.
 Still another attack against the British salient northeast of Loos re- suited in check for, the Germans, says the British headquarters report

 Heavy German losses are claimed by the French in actions which pre- ceded the great drive. In one crater formed by mine exploded to- wreck the French advance trenches, near Arras, 150 German bodies were counted.

UNCLE SAM MAY
 CLOSE PORTS 10 ARMED VESSELS
Rejection by Allies of Pro posals Requires Some
 >~ Action.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Great Britain and her allies have rejected the pro .posals of the United States for ar agreement to disarm merchantmen contingent upon promises of the cen, tral powers to give up illegal subma- rine warfare, according to arthori' tative information obtained tonign, from high official and diplomatic sources.
 The state department is now await ing official notification from the en- tente allies that it's proposals have been rejected. Upon being so advis- ed. the administration will give seri- ous consideration, officials said today to the question of adopting a new policy with reference to tho admis- sion of armed merchantmen to Amer ican ports.
 Three Courses Considered.
 There are three courses under con- sideration. They are:
 To notify all nations that armed merchantmen coming into United States ports will be considered war vessels, and will be subject to regu- lations providing for internment.
 To leave unchanged the regulations permitting passenger vessels to carry guns for defense purposes, but to 's- sue warning to American citizens to keep off armsd merchantmen travers- ing the danger zones.
 To continue present regulation and exact pledges from the allied governments that guns carried on vessels leaving American ports shall be used only for defensive purposes and not for the purpose of attacking submarines.
 Second Rebuke to II. S.
 The rejection of the good offices of the United States in ths submarine question is the second rebuke receiv- ed by this government in the last few days. Administration officials today completed a close study of SIr Edward Grey's speech in parliament and were forced to the conclusion that it forecasts a general rejection of the demands made in the last note of the United States, protcstins against British interference with American trade.
 There was not the slightest con- cession seen in Sir Edward Grey; speech. The conclusion was foraet on officials that he had answered ir advance the last American note wien he bluntly sustained the orders ir council and said that no other plaI of blockade was advisable or neces- sary.
