CONGRESS- WORKS FRANT|CALLY: ID
 PASS B|G BILLS

Washington, March 3.-Congress in it's dying hours, tonight worked all most frantically to save the most inn portant legislation from the last minute jam. The house and senate worked steadily from early in the day and will work all night tomorrow.
 If, when the clock approaches the hour of noon, when congress dies by law, there is still chance of doing more. the hands of the clock will be turned back and congress officially will make itself believe there is still more time. This is custom of many years.
 It seemed tonight the following measures must fail:
 Army bill, sundry civil bill, general deficiency bill, military academy bill, bill to extend the powers of the ship ping board amendments to the fed era reserve law to increase the gold reserve.
 By leaving it's work unfinished. con- gress leaves also the possibility of an extra session. While President Wilson has not decided to call one, most leaders think the new congress will assemble in June.

GERMANY ADMITS PLOT FOR JOINT
 WAR ON AMERICA Foreign Secretary Thinner man Says Proposal Was
 Contingent One. ACTION JUSTIFIED
 AS DEFENSE MOVE
Statement by Berlin Official Attempts to Justify Conspiracy Attempt by Making Charges Against
 the United States.

Berlin, March 3, by wireless to Say ville.-Foreign Secretary Zimmerman today admitted he had sent instruc- tiOns to propose to Mexico and Japan an alliance to make war on the United States in the event the United States declared war on Germany as result of the unrestricted submarine cam- paign.
 The following was given out by the Overseas News agency, the official German news bureau: g8 a2
 Foreign Secretary Zimmerman was asked by staff member of the Over seas News agency about the English report that "a German plot had been revealed to get Mexico to declare war against the United States and to se- cure Japan's aid against the United States. Secretary Zimmerman an swered:
 "'You understand that it is impos- sible for me to discuss the facts of this revealed plot just at this mo- ment, and under these circumstances l therefore may be allowed to limit my answer to what is said in the English reports. The English report expressly states that Germany eX- pected and wished to remain on terms of friendship with the United States, but that we had prepared measures of defense in case the Uni ed States de- clared war against Ger many. l fail to see how such plot is inspired by unfriendliness on our part. It would mean nothing but that we would use means universally admitted in war, in case the United States declared war.
 "'The most important part of the alleged plot is it's condition and form. The whole lot falls flat to the ground in case the United States does not de- clare war against us. And If we really, as the report alleges, considered the possibility of hostile acts of the United States against us, then we really had reasons to do so.
 "'But there were other facts which seemed to confirm this and which assurances. Everybody knows these facts, and I need not repeat them. The entente propaganda services have suf- fciently heralded all pro-entente dem- onstrations in the United States. And if you link these demonstrations with the actual attitude of the United States, then it is obvious that it was not frivolous on our part to consider what defensive measures we should take in case we were attacked by the United States"

WILSON T0 TAKE OATH TODAY, AND AGAIN TOMORROW Induction Into Presidency on Sabbath Will Be With
 out Ceremony.
OCCASION ONE FOR
 PATRIOTIC DISPLAY
Formal Inauguration Ceremonies To- morrow Promise tO Be Greatest Demonstration of AmericaniSm
 Ever Witnessed.

Washington, March 3.-ProSiGcnt Wilson will take the oath which makes him president of the United States fol another term tomorrow, probably at noon, privately and without ceremony
 in his office in the capitol, where Inc expects 10 be signing bills during the closing hours of congress. He will take the oath upon the same Bible he used when sworn in as governor of New Jersey and later when he took oath as president. It is q family heir loom. Monday the president will take another oath at the Open-air inaugural ceremonies at the capitol, just before he delivers hi sinaugural address.
 Vice President Marshall will prob ably take oath today and repeat his part of the ceremony in the senate chamber Monday.
 Tonight the national capital, just shaking off rain, drying it's bedraggled finery and generally rearranging the rumpled condition in which the city finds itself after being dressed up rained on firts and then covered un- der galZe, looks "like a belle caught in thunder shower" as one man eX- pressed it.
 Patriotic Demonstration. Everything is ready for what prom ises to be a great demonstration Io1 Americanism. Coming at time wher the country faces complications of the gravest sort, the note of patriotism predominates all else. The American flag and red, white and blue comprise the whole scheme of decoration. To- night thousands of "Old Glories" arc fullering in white beams of light
 while festoons of red, white and blue electric lights glitter everywhere.
 Fair and cold weather is predicted for inauguration day, and the thou sands who have flocked here for tho ceremonies will consider themselves
 in luck if they experience anything
 but rain or snow. Troops are here to line Pennsyl vania avenue as the president passes
 the first time since the first lnaugura tiOn of Lincoln that soldiers have
 been present in that way. Hundreds of military cadets are about in attrac tive uniforms and thousands of other visitors have crammed the hotels ant all other available places.
 Presidents Oath.
 When the president takes the oatf
 at the public ceremony the chief jus tice steps forward, Bible in hand tt administer the oath of office. He re
 peats, and the president, touching hi'
 lips to the Bible, repeats after him
 this oath prescribed by the constitu tion:
 q do solemnly swear that l vii | faithfully execute the office of presi
 dent of the United States, and will, tf
 the best of my ability, preserve, pro | tect and defend the constitution of th' l United States"

material in Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas, it is said.
 MT. Beattie brought with him sam ples of the strawboard made from rice straw by the company as a re- suit of the perfection of the necessary manufacturing methods, and also sam ples of high grade book paper. made from the same material. Experts in the employ of the same company are said to have perfected a method Of using this same material in the manu- facture of news print paper in flat sheets and in rolls as we'll, although so far it is not known that rice straw is to be used for such products in the immediate future.
 There has already been talk of the formation of company to establish a paper manufacturing plant in or near this city or Stuttgart to use rice straw as the raw material, an alterna- tive proposed being the establishment of such a plant by some paper com pany already organized. The matter is being considered by commercial or ganizations of this section, and def mite action is expected in the near future.
 Not until the success Of these latest experiments was announced had rice growers been able to find use to which they could put rice straw which has been absolutely useless to them, and the destruction of which each year has actually been the cause of much work and worry. The grow CTS are we'll pleased at the oppor- tunity to obtain $4 per ton for the straw, delivered at the compressors, and the value of the development tc the entire section is considered to be actually greater than the direct finan- cial returns of about $400,000.

Rice growers of Arkansas have completed arrangements in which it is expected rice growers of other sec tions will participate for the sale of all rice straw, heretofore absolute waste, will be sold to paper manufac- turers of the North, and already one of the big paper factories is prepared to handle virtually all the straw it can obtain in the Arkansas rice ter ritory, of which Stuttgart is the center.
 w. R. Beattie, agricultural commits sioner of the Cotton Belt, who was in Pine Bluff today, stated that the rice straw will bring to the farmers a price of $4 per ton. There are about 100000 tons of rice straw each year in Arkansas, 60y000 tons of which are to, be had along the Cotton Belt lines, hence the great interest shown by the Cotton Belt in the experiments which demonstrated that rice straw can be used successfully in the manufacture of paper of high grade, as well as in the arrangements whereby the paper manufacturers agreed to purchase the straw. Farmers of Arkansas will reap just about $4O0,000 more each year from their rice crop as result than they have obtained in the past, and with virtually no extra labor or worry.
 The American Straw Board com pany of Akron, Ohio, is now erecting at and near Stuttgart four large com pressors, in which the straw will be compressed and baled for shipment to their plant in Ohio. This company has completed all it's arrangements for using all the rice straw it can purchase, and is now arranging to make purchases of this same raw

 DEMONSTRATION
 AT WHITE HOUSE

Washington, March 3.-Encircling the white house with chain of pur- pie, white and gold, women suf- fragettes will bring to climax with a two-hour silent demonstration their seize of President Wilson, on behalf of the federal suffrage amendment.
 About 1000 women of the Congress sional Union for Woman Suffrage and the National Womens Party have en- listed in the movement, which will bring to an end the duties of the line of pickets on guard at the white house for several weeks past, encompassing the president in his comings and go- ings, to impress him in the last days of his first term of office, with their desire to have the ballot.
 Tomorrow's demonstration, the most remarkable perhaps of all those characterizing the fight for equal suffrage, will begin at p. m., three hours after the official beginning oi the presidents new term. After the ring has been formed around the white house, the line will be kept al attention for two hours.

 Meadors and Powell were released on bonds. Both deny there is any basis for the charges. Powell stated his dealings with the manufacturers of soft drinks were legitimate: that he had no connection with Burgess in the matter, and agreed to assist the manufacturers, when they sought his aid, to defeat the measure by parlia- mentary tactics.
