DISCOVER PLOT TO
MURDER PRESIDENT
GOVERNMENT OFFICERS REFUSE
TO MAKE KNOWN NAMES OF
MEN ARRESTED.

Memphis, Tenn. - Threats against
President Wilson were intercepted ny
piecing together a torn letter plcKeu
.up in a railway coach, according 10
disclosures made public here by Unit
ed States Secret Service men
The announcement only said that
persons charged with having written
threatening letters to the president
ars under arrest in half dozen cities
and that one has confessed. The gov
eminent officers have declined 10
make public the names of persons un-
der arrest.
Every precaution is taken to keep
the names of the prisoners from being
known. Secret Service officials ad-
nit, however, that one of the men un-
der arrest lived in town near Jack
son. Tenn, and was a well known
business man there for 80 years. He
has been given a preliminary hear
ing. and held to federal Grand Jury
without bond. The other men are be-
ing held for further orders from Wash
ington.
The ringleader Of the letter writer's,
who operated independently of each
ether, is said to be wealthy man
from Pickett county, Tennessee. He
and two others from town near
Knoxville, two from near Nashville
aad another in Cookeville, Tenn, are
| 1N
Secret Service Department, were i'm
plicated. The man from Pickett coun
ty was to be sent to Washington early
in November, form an alliance with
certain others there, and through his
political acquaintances, gain an audi
ence with the president and assassi
nate him.
A young daughter Of one of thu
suspected men, living. near Jackson
innocently furnished the first clev
more than two months ago, when sh'
overheard four men talking at a meet
ing in her fathers home. She toll
her aunt that some men were goini
to kill President Wilson" The child
uncle investigated then reported I
the town authorities. Memphis 81
cret Service men picked up the miss
ing ends by accidentally finding
Z torn letter left in a train seat.
Putting the pieces of the letter u
gether. officers learned it had bee
mailed to a man calling for his lie
tiers at the general delivery in Men
, phis.
The signature to the letter wa
, mo. Al" 1t was written at Kno,
4 vile. The officers followed one Gle
after another until they rounded =
the man near Jackson, Tenn. Und'
! severe questioning. he confesse
q federal authorities say, and gave Il
3 names of the others. Their arres

bUpLESON EXPLAINS
THE ESPIONAGE ACT
TRADING WITH THE ENEMY
ACTS MADE CLEAR IN ITS RE-
LATiON TO POSTAL SERVICE.

Washington.-The scope OF the es-
pionage and trading with the enemy
acts, in so far as they affect the postal
service, and how they are to be en-
forced against disloyal publications
are explained at length in letter to
publishers made public by Postmas-
ter General Burleson.
The laws were maze necessary, Mr..
Burleson said, by nationwide propa-
ganda intended in every possible way
to interfere with the successful prose
cution of the war. He added that no
publisher who is at heart loyal to his
country should have any apprehension
of embarrassment or inconvenience
from their administration.
mo one connected With the govern
ment," said the letter, from the pres
ident down, seeks by reason of these
laws to avoid criticism or even at
tack, but no publication containing
matter which falls within the prohibi-
ton of the law will be permitted to
circulate"
As interpreted by the posteffice, the
acts make it unlawful for any person,
firm, corporation or association to

otherwise publish or distribute dur

First-Advocating or urging trea-
son, insurrection or forcible resistance

Second-Conveying false reports or
false statements intended to interfere
with the operation or success Of the
military or naval forces of the Unit
cd States, or to promote the success
of it's enemies.

, of duty in the military or naval forces

Washington.-The Liberty loan ap-
parently has passed the $5,OO0,OOO,OOO
mark.
A last day drive of Titanic proper
tions throughout the nation netted
more than $1,000, 100000. and was be-
Ifieved to have carried the total sew
eral million dollars beyond the max
imum sum treasury officials had hoped
for.
Federal reserve banks were strug
Cling under an avalanche of last min
ute subscriptions to form some idea
of the grand total. Indications are
that they will not complete their tab
ulations for several days.
At least 100000 persons through
out the country wrote their names
on application blanks. How many
more did so will not be known
until the final count, several day
hence. The number may go as higl
as 100000.
Every district of the L. appeared Z
have passed it's minimum, and indica
tions were that most of them had ex
ceeded the maximum as well.
An early tabulation Of the returns
based upon estimates received frof
the reserve banks issued by the trea:
ury, showed a total of $4,555, ,0OO, ,00'
This was admitted to be an undere'
innate of the result. At the hou
the tabulation was made subscriber
were standing in line in thousands
cities and towns throughout the coul
try, and most of the $4,000 banks wei
. swamped with unreported subscri
tious.
, so confident were officials that tn
: maximum total for the loan had bee
' exceeded that they started their of
. cial announcement with the declar
r ton that subscriptions to the secor
/, Liberty loan have passed $5,000.00'
e 0O0."
5 From every district" the stat
ment reads, came the report that
was almost impossible to estimate
tails, as the subscriptions were pot
. ing in so rapidly that it was with 4
!. greatest difficulty they were even
, ing recorded"
