submitted in transcript form
and read publicly before the
Senate Tuesday night, and it
was upon this report that the
Senate acted. The report in it
self made no recommendations
nor suggestions.
Immediately after the action
of the Senate, Gov. Brough APP

was John E. McGaryey who
claimed to be from New York
and represented himself to
Sims and Burgess as being the
representative of a New York
firm interested in the trading
stamp business.
Prosecutor Dunaway charges
that a few minutes before Sem

arrested they met McGarvey in
an alley behind the Tunnah &

cepted from McGarvey $4,000
in return for which they sur
rendered the original copy of

Burgess, a bill to tax trading
stamps, which was taken from
the senate. The bill was found,
Mr.. Dunaway said, in McGar-

the senators were arrested.
It later developed that Nc

Germany's Note to Mexico

A copy of the German gov
ernment's instructions to the
German ambassador in Mexico
is now in possession of Presi-
dent Wilson and is as follows:
con the first of February
we intend to begin submarine
warfare unrestricted. In spite
of this, it is our intention to en-
deavor to keep neutral the
United States of america.
eff this attempt is not sue
cessful we propose an alliance
on the following basis with
Mexico: That we shall make
war together and together
make peace. We snail give gen
eral financial support and it
is understood that Mexico is
to reconquer her lost territory
in New Mexico, Texas and
Arizona. The details are left
to you for settlement.
"You are instructed to inform
the president of Mexico of the
above in the greatest conf
dence as soon as it is certain
that there will be an outbreak
of war with the United States,
and suggest that the president
of Mexico, on his own initiative
should communicate with ia
pan, suggesting adherence at
once to this plan; at the same
time, offer to mediate between
Germany and Japan.
"Please call to the attention
Of the president of Mexico that
the employment of ruthless
submarine warfare now prom
Uses to compel England to make
peace in a few months"
(Signed) Zimmerman" "
Such a proposal as Germany
instructed her minister to make
to Mexico borders on an act of
war.
No doubt exists in Washing
ton now that the persistent re-
ports during the last two years
of the operations Of German
agents in Mexico and all
through Central America and
the West Indies are true. There
is now no doubt that the pro-
posed alliance with Mexico was
known to high Mexican Off
Gals who are distinguished for
their anti-Americanism.

GERMAN PLOT AGAINST
The u. S. UNCOVERED
Sought to Enlist Mexico and
Japan in War to Crush
United States

Washington, Feb. 28.-The
Associated Press is enabled to
reveal that Germany, in plan
ming unrestricted submarine
warfare and counting its con-
sequences, proposed an alliance
with Mexico and Japan to make
war on the United States if this
country should not remain neu-
trail.
Japan, through Mexican
meditation, was to be urged
to abandon her allies and join
in the attack on the United
States.
Mexico, for her reward, was
to receive general financialsup-
port from Germany, reconquer
Texas, New Mexico and Ariz-
one-lost provinces-and share
in the victorious peace terms
Germany contemplated.
Details were left to German
Minister Won Eckhardt in Mex
leo City, who by instructions
signed by German Foreign
Minister Zimmerman at Berlin,
January 10, 1917, was directed
to propose the alliance with
Mexico to General Carranza
and suggest that Mexico seek
to bring Japan into the plot.
These instructions were
transmitted to Won Eckhardt
through Count Won Bernstroff,
former German ambassador
here, now on his way home to
Germany under a safe conduct
obtained from his enemies by
the United States.

inc warfare

SPITE WORK is SEEN
in SENATORS ARREST
Indications of Outcropping of
Personal Venom Shown in
Arrest of Senators

Little Rock, Feb. 26.-The
arrest of Senator Sims and
Senator Burgess last Friday
night and the refusal of Prose-
cutor Dunaway to allow them
to give bond, is said to have no
connection with a personalisplit
between Senator Sims and the
Pulaski county prosecutor.
The fact remains, however,
that Prosecutor Dunaway and
Senator Sims are bitter per-
sonal and political enemies and
there are many people in Little
Rock who believe that the
enemity existing between them
is a big factor in the matter.
The personal differences be-
tween Senator Sims and Prose-
cutor Dunaway developed just
before the legislature convened
in January when Senator Sims
was a candidate for president
of the Senate against Senator
Davenport. It reached a climax
in the Senate a few days ago
when Senator Sims declared
on the floor of the upper house
that he would not support the
university removal bill if the
name of Mr.. Dunaway was per-
mitted to be with other Little
Rock men on the board of di-
rectors of the Pulaski County
improvement district, proposed
to be formed to pay for build
ing the university in Little
Rock.
When Senator Sims was
candidate against Senator Dav-
export for president of the
Senate, the factions were divi-
Fded equally, IT for one and IT
for the other, with Senator Geo.
Jones of Little Rock the thirty
fifth member, and the one up
on whom election of either of
the candidates depended. Pros
ecutor Dunaway was said to
have been instrumental in get
ting Senator Jones to support
and consequently elect Senator
Davenport to the presidency.
When the university removal
bill was up a few days ago in
the Senate, Senator Jones
amended it by adding Mr..
Dunaway's name to the board
of directors of the Pulaski
county improvement district.
The next day the bill again
was considered by the Senate
and Senator Sims took the floor
with a declaration that unless
the name of Mr.. Dunaway was
stricken from the bill he would
not support the measure to re-
move the university from Fay
etteville to Little Rock. Senator
Jones agreed, in order to retain
Senator Sims support, to the.
substitution of Jack Maloney
for Mr.. Dunaway on the board
of commissioners. The substi-
tuition was approved in the
Senate by means of adopting
the amendment.
Senator Sims arrest followed
few days later on a charge of
bribery, and it developes that
the John E. McGarvey, the al
legged lobbyist who is said to
have given the bride, is a de-
tective who was working for
Prosecutor Dunaway.

The WAY TO Float.

This is the advice of an old swimmer
to those who cannot swim; "Any hui
man being who will have the presence
Of mind to clasp the hands behind his
back and turn the face toward the
zenith may float at ease and in perfect
safety in tolerably still water When
you first find yourself in deep water
you have only to consider yourself an
empty pitcher. Let your mouth and
nose and not the top Of your heavy
head be the highest part Of you and
you are safe. But thrust up one Of
your bony hands and down you go
turning up the handle tips over the
pitcher" There are reason and logic
In this.
