GERMAN is HELD
BOMBS ARE FOUND

An alleged plot against the life of
President Wilson was uncovered at
Hoboken, N. j., March 5, according to
detectives who arrested Fritz KOlb, a
German Teservist from Mexico. In a
MOTEL where KOlb had engaged room
were found two bombs, which the de-
tectives said were to have been sent
to the president.
Two bombs completed and nitrogly-
cerine and picric acid were found in
Kolb's room, according to the police.
Kolb said he was SO years old and
had no occupation. Papers found in
his room we're seized.
Kolb, questioned sharply at police
headquarters here, is said to have con-
fessed he Conspired against the presi-
dents life, and that he took part in
the Black Tom Island and Kingsland
explosions.
Upon information declared to have
been given by Kolb detectives ar
rested two other men, one at Hoboken
and one in Jersey City, and brought
them to police headquarters as alleged
accomplices.
According to members Of the New
York bomb squad the two bombs were
the height of ingenuity" One is a
. me bomb and the other fitted to
explode by the ignition of fuse. The
explosives were contained in tubing
wrapped around with copper wire.
The hotel where Kolb was arrested
is the same one at which Lieutenant
Robert Fay, formerly Of the German
army, and Hans Schiller had rooms
prior to their arrest nearly year ago,
charged with a conspiracy to destroy
British merchant ships by placing
bombs on them before their departure
from American harbors.
With the arrest of the two other
men whose names were temporarily
withheld, it was reported that the po-
lice were investigating alleged rami-
fications of the plot which were said
to include the destruction Of oil works
at Tampico, Mexico, and the Reming-
ton Arms Works in Hoboken.

Bowden was warned by Mrs. Cook af- ter reaching town, had borrowed a gun and left it in the shop while he waited for his mules to be shoe. When he learned that Cook was coming in that direction he hid in the ice house. He had a.arted from the ice house to get away when Cook saw him and starr ed directly toward him.

STATE OFFICERS
 TAKE THE OATH
Gov Trough Inauguras.cd Two Hours Ahead of Schedule Time-Senate Declines to Allow Retiring Gov
 ernor to File Appointment List

Little Rock, Jan 11.-Alministration leaders had their fling at the opposlt- ion to their control of the Senate yes- terday when they forced the inaugural ceremonies to take place at least two hours before schedule time ana re. Us ed to permit Governor Hays to file with the Senate his list of vacation ap- pCintments to be confirmed. Tie l.st included the appointment of z. M. Me, Carroll as member of the Board of Control of the State Charitable Inst titions. whose fight for cCnfirma ion admins ration leaders say, caused the strenous efforts last week to organize the Senate on an "anti-adm nistration' plantform.
 Says Offices Are Vacant.
 Adminis.ra ion leaders said last night that Governor Brough was not a parry to the speed program provided by the Senate yesterday morning They took the view that the Senate's acton in refusing to accept the list o. vaca- ton appointments autom2, ically creat- es vacancies in all of the appointments. They said they believe Governor Trough will ho this view and will submit a new list of appointments to the Sena.e for confirmation in place of the lis. refused yesterday. Governor Brough would not say what action he will take
 Legal opinion differs somewhat as to the effect of the Senates action. NO attorneys could be found, however, who held the view that the proceed ings in any way affected the validity of the inauguration. Ex-Governor Hays apparently also took this view, and made no attempt to perform any official acts after pr. Brough was sworn in.
 Hays Appointccs May Contest.
 It is generally believed that the ap- pointments Of Penitentiary Commis5- toner B'Shers must be acted upon however, as the message informing ,Ae legislature of it was rece;vel by the joint session. The appointment is the one that must be iconfirmo-i by the two houses in joint session.
 Brough Delivers Message.
 Standing on table in the center of the House of Representatives, with members of House and Senate and sev- eral hundred c'ti.ens-all that could crowd in the chamber-Gov. Chas. H. Brough Wednesday afternoon deliver ed his inaugural address. In many respects this was the most remarkable address ever delivered by a Governor of Arkansas.
