CONSPIRACY, VA.-TEX.
Eight Members of Protective Asso-
citation Indicted at Dallas.

Dallas, Texas, May 3O.-That the
conspiracy uprisings" in west central
Texas are directly connected with
those of Virginia, is the belief of fed
eral authorities here. Authorities re-
fuse to state on what they base their
opinion, except to declare that every
indication points that way"
To date nearly two score Texans,
most of them members of the Farmers
and Laborers Protective association,
have been arrested charged with CON
spiracy to oppose the draft Fully
half of these have been released I'M
conditionally; dozen others are out on
bond pending federal investigation;
eight have been indicted and are in
Dallas to be tried before the federal
grand jury.
Blame Manufacturers Association.
Counsel for the Farmers and Labor
ers Protective association of America
today issued a statement saying it is
believed by the association that the
cause of the Intervention in its alleged
anti-conscription propaganda is the
activity of the National Manufacturers
association or some kindred organiza-
ton, organized to destroy union labor
organization.

BILL TO INCREASE NAVY
WOULD GIVE PRESIDENT POWER
TO REGULATE EXPORTS OF
ALL FooDsTUFFs.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington, April 20.-In anticipa-
ton Of action by Congress on the Sc
lective CONSUMPTION bill, the War De-
partment had nearly completed plans
to have the first levy Of 100000 men
in training camps by Aug. l. The
first levy will be selected by lot.
Under personal pressure from the
President, who made hurried trip to
the Capitol to urge speedy action, the
Senate committee quickly reported
out the administration measure with
promise of immediate Senate action.
Several committee members who still
favor the volunteer system, however.
declared their intention to fight to
the last on the Senate floor.
The seven committee senators ia
voring the volunteer plan against the
draft feature were Mcclellan New.
Reed, Kirby, Sutherland, Hitchcock,
and Thomas of Colorado
In the meantime, House opposition
to selective or any kind of conscrip-
tion-until volunteering is first tried
which had appeared to crumble
somewhat over night, sprung up again.
After the military committee voted
against trying out a measure that
would empower the President to put
into effect his selective CONSUMPTION
system, the committee appointed q
subcommittee to draft a substitute
measure with volunteer features.
The House committees action was
a straight-out decision for the princi-
pie of volunteer system first of all.
applying both as to filling up the
ranks of the regular army, the Ma.
tional Guard, and the raising Of the
new army. But when the volunteer
system fails to provide sufficient
numbers of men the President would
have authority to resort at once to
selectiye CONSUMPTION.
While House members were plan
ming the best way to cast off all re-
sponsibility for a conscription sys-
tenn of raising an army. the follow
ing bills were introduced by commit
tee chairmen, this form of introduc-
ton meaning almost certain passage
in the near future: Increasing the
navy from $1,000 to 100000 men and
the marine corps from 1900 to 3d.

The land to be cultivated this year
will be increased 1000 acres or more
by this increased farming effort
the penitentiary expects to produce
this year a considerable surplus Of
foodstuffs above the amount neces-
sary for its own support. This sur.
plus will be turned over to the state
for use as it deems wise.
May / not suggest, as an aid to In
crease food production. that the fed
eral government urge all states, a.
well as superintendent of federal
penitentiaries, to utilize Immediately
their Trustworthy prison population in
crop production according to Colora-
dos plan? This would mean placing
at farm work so per cent Of all the
men now confined in the prisons Of
the United States, and would put at
work on the soil many thousands of
men now either idle or engaged in
less profitable pursuits than crop pro-
duction.
ut is my belief that upon a sugges-

ploy the convicts of their states in
similar labor. The result of this en-
