SEES PLOT IN
new PROTEST
Wisconsin Democrat Charges
Telegram Campaign Is
Deep Conspiracy.

Washington, April 81. - Senator
Husting, democrat, told the senate to-
day that the American embargo con-
ference had conducted a campaign in
Wisconsin to induce him to support an
embargo resolution against shipment
of war supplies to Europe. He submit
ted thousand letters from Wisconsin
citizens, which he said all emanated
from the Chicago headquarters of this
organization.
Senator Husting declared there was
"a deep laid plot to poison the minds
of citizens all over the country with
! the thought that the president wants
war, when every fact gives the lie to
such an assertion
The senator submitted to the SEN
ate a form letter signed by the Amer
lean Embargo Conference, w. R. Nc
Donald, secretary, sent to citizens of
Wisconsin, enclosing forms of other
letters to be sent to him urging sup
port Of an embargo resolution. The
thousand letters from Wisconsin citi-
zens all we're identical he said. The
Mcdonald letter, read to the senate,
advised Wisconsin citizens to coop
crate with the embargo conference, ito
induce Paul o. Husting to join with
the other Wisconsin representatives in
supporting an embargo resolution
The letter urged each recipient to get
, his neighbors to send copies Of the ap-
peal to the senator.
81 received all these letters last
February, about the time there was
considerable discussion on an embargo
resolution Senator Husting ex-
planned to the senate. 81 thought then
it was no use making any public state
ment But in connection with this tele-
grahpic campaign with respect to the
German situation, I think it is quite
revelant to call attention to this mat
ter"

DUTCH WARSH|P
SUNK BY BRITISH

Berlin, April 27.-The Overseas
News agency says report has been
published in the Dutch newspaper De
Tribune that the British sank a
Dutch warship several weeks ago. Ac-
cording TO this report the crew of the
man of war was sent to India to con-
ceal news of the affair and Great Brit
ain promised to pay damages.
The news agency's statement fol-
lows:
The Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Cour-
ant on March 81 gave an account of
the return OF the Dutch steamship
Breda from England and said that this
steamship when on her way home was
put to inconvenience Of such a nature
that 1t was impossible to give a de-
tailed account of them at the time.
THE Dutch newspaper De Tribune
now says the situation on March
81 was critical because the British
had sunk Dutch warship. The crew
of the man of war was sent to India
| in order TO conceal the act and
Great Britain promised to pay all
damages
