FIGHT TO ALTER RULES
SENATE DEMOCRATS SEEK TO
PREVENT FILIBUsTERs.
Leaders Hold Caucus Today and Plan
Program for Extra Session
of Congress.

Washington, March 6.-With Prasi-
dent Wilson's demand for a change in
senate rules to make impossible in the
future such filibuster as the one by
which handful of members defeated
the armed neutrality bill fresh in their
minds, senate Democrats will caucus
TO-DAY on program for the special ses-
sion. The session, called primarily to
pass upon appointments to office, be-
gan formally today and will get down
to business tomorrow.
Senator Owen, who has been the
chief prOpOnent of a limited debate
rule for many years, is prepared to
bring the subject of cloture before the
caucus, and 80 senators, most of them
Democrats, have signed an agreement
to support the rule he proposes.
If the caucus decides to stand be-
hind this proposal and make it the
chief issue of the session, the senate
may spend the summer in Washington
instead Of dispOsing of its work In a
few days as usual.
Many senators who have particic
pated in various such fights in the past
believe it would be more difficult to get
the senate to agree to a limited debate
rule than it would be to get declara-
ton of war against Germany or to pass
the armed neutrality bill that died, be-
cause the rules say a senator cannot
be taken from the floor when he wishes
to keep on talking.
There has been no caucus among
opponents of ClOture, but Republicans
in the clOakrOOms predicted that the
minority party almost to a man would
oppose such a rule and openly de-
clared that there would be Democrats
to side with them.
The biggest present asset of those
who wish change in the rules is the
president and the public opinion his
statement denouncing the present
rules is expected to arouse. Never
before in the history of the many sug-
gestions that have been made for such
a change has a president openly
aligned himself in its favor, nor has
public attention generally been called
to what he considers a fault in it's
method Of procedure.
The president is expected to CON
tinue his insistence for a change but
even optimistic champions Of cloture
think it will be difficult to keep pub
lie interest centered on such a ques-
ton. A majority can force open de-
bate, but to do so would offer Op-
portunity for public discussion of the
present situation and possibly
strengthen the European opinion that
the congress is divided in supporting
the president in his international pol
icy.

GERMANS 0. K. PLOT
REICHSTAG COMMITTEE REGRETS
U. S. INTERCEPTED NOTE.
Body UnequivocaIIy Endorses Action
of Foreign Office by Unani-
nous Vote.

Berlin, March THE expected criti-
cism of the governments ilI-starred
German-MeXicaH project failed to ma
terlalize in the session Of the reichstag
budget committee After an eXecu-
tive sitting Of six hours, the commit
tee unequivOcally indorsed the. action
Of the foreign office by unanimous vote.
The governments effort to negotiate
an alliance in the event Of war with
the United States was approved as be-
ing within the legitimate scope of mill
tary precautions. The committee eX-
pressed regrets at the misfortune
which resulted in the interrogation Of
Foreign Secretary Zimmermann's note.
Responsibility for its loss cannot be
fixed until Former Ambassador Won
Beru .GorH arrives from the United
States.
The American secret service is in
possession Of the special secret code
used by the German foreign office.
This was the only inference left by
Or. Alfred Zimmerman, secretary of
state for foreign affairs, in his de-
Tense before the reichstag's budget
committee Of the now famous Kaiser
Mikado-Carranza plot"
How the Americans came into pos
session Of the text which went to
America in special secret code we do
not know he told the committee.
Previously Doctor Zimmerman had
stated positively that tine treackery-
and it must have been a treachary-
evidently was committed on American
territory"
Romance adventure, revenge, blum
dering; persuasion by gold, honor or a
wOman's beauty-which of these ele-
ments played the leading role in the
dream of "the lost pIot?" The natur-
ally romantic German mind Is greatly
puzzled by this question. Editors in
dulge in voIuminous speculation. Theo-
dor Wolff, in his influential Berliner
Tageblatt, comes to the conclusion
that:
1--WE can quietly say that no jewel
Of craftsmanship was lost between Ber-
lin and Mexico City"
Doctor Zimmerman himself sticks
to his original plea that the plot was
"a natural and justified precaution. u
It's discovery is, indeed, a "misfor-
tune" the doctor said in his speech to
the reichstag committee. But as a
sort of afterthought he added:
81 am not sorry that through its
publication in America, it also became
known in Japan"
By inuendo the foreign secretary,
who up 70 his appearance before the
political leaders had carefully re-
Trained from any reference to japan,
thus let it be known that he has by
no means given up hopes that the seed
he sowed will fall upon fertile ground
in the Land of the Rising Sun.
Details of the budget committee
meeting began to leak out early. Apart
from the points outlined above there
was little new news"

PLOT AGAINST INDIA

TWO SEIZED IN NEW YORK
TWO Men Are Arraigned in Supposed
Conspiracy Unearthed at Hoboken,

New York, March 7.-Dr. c. Hama
Idor Chakiaberty, a Hindu physician,
and DR.. Ernest Sckunner, thirty-four
years old, described as a German, were
arrested on charges of conspiracy to
set up a military expedition against
foreign country on friendly relations
with the United States. The police say
the men confessed that they had plot
ted under direction of Wolf Won Igel
to invade India by way of China.
From Won Igel, according to the pO-
lice, Doctor Challiaberty and Sckun-
time, received 100000, and the Hindu,
posing as Persian merchant, obtained
passport, which enabled him to get
to Berlin. In this connection an addi-
tional charge of fraudulently obtaining
a passport has been made against the
physician.
Doctor Chakiaberty, according to the
confession attributed to him, revealed
his plans of an invasion of India to
certain officials in Berlin, then re-
turned to New York, where he and Won
Igel prepared printed matter in various
native Indian languages. In the
house in West One Hundred and
Twentieth street, where the two men

After the printed matter was pre-
pared, the police say, Doctor ChaBia-

agent an influential Chinaman. whom
they sent to his native country with
the idea of interesting his government
in plan to ship arms and ammunition
from the United States to China,
where, with the Chinese governments
permission, they were to be stored I'M
til the time set for the invasion.
The police say the two men admit
they have heard nothing from their
Chinese representative, and do not
know what success, if any, he had.
