German PrOpagandists
Are Stirring Up DiscOrd
Among Southern Negroes

New York, April 4,-German propa
gandists and secret agents in the soutl
are trying to foment an uprising of ne
groes against the white people in event
of war, according to charges contain
ed in a special dispatch today from
Greensboro, n. c., to the New York
Tribune.
One settlement entirely of negroes
it is declared, has made plans to fol
low the German leadership on promis
es that victory by Germany over this
country will place negroes on a social
footing with the whites.
The plan is said to have been form
ed at a meeting of Mexieans, negroes
and Germans at San Diego, Cal, in
April, 1915. The plan was known as
the "plan of San Diego" which in.
volved the formation of Texas into a
black republic.

ACCIDENT INSURANCE GROWS

According to the annual report Of
the state industrial accident commits

ployes under the provisions of the act.
This number is an increase of 29.5 per
cent over the first years and 50.4 per
cent greater than the total when the
law first became effective. The in
crease is said to be due to the fact that
the supreme court has upheld the con-
stitutionality of the act The total mum

second year 7162 as against 4546 of
the year before. Out of l0,507 eases dis

western hemisphere her territorial spoil

A blow to the pacifists was struck
by Swanson.
"They would force upon this nation
the shame of still greater submission
he said.
"If kaisers kings and czars had
been put in the front rank when the
war first started, Kenyon continued,
80 the war would have speedily ended
Crowned heads and royalty have done
none of the dying.
"Their hour has now struck. This is
no time to criticise. We have only time
for one hundred percent Americanism.
America entrance rings the bell
for the Hohenzollerns.
Senator Kirby, another of the CIVIL
full men, told the senate he "would
stand in the senate a thousand years
before he would vote for war if he
thought it would do any good"
"But," he continued, 81 believe this
resolution will pass and rather than
give the impression that we are a ma
tion divided | shall vote for it.
LaFollette Against War
There was an air of expectancy as
speaking. Senators who had absented
speaking. Senators who ad absented
themselves quickly returned to their
seats and the galleries stirred nerv-
ously.
"I hold a letter sent to me by Rep
resentative Helgeson of North Dako-
ta, who lies i'll in hospital in this
city, LaFollette began. "He sends
word that every message and telegram
sent to him from out in the country
bears prayer that there be no war.
"This letter is from Mrs. W. A.
Woods and she signs herself A North
Dakota farm woman. She says that
she hears the United tSates is on the
verge of entering the great war for
the sake of humanity" Here LaFol-
lette read part OF ne letter.
'''I desire to protest against this
war, - he read " Did the mother

nights during the infancy of her boy,
who sacrificed herself and slaved dur
ing the infancy of her boy to go
through this to send her boy to a
slaughter house where he will be butch

Thirty-six thousand fans witnessed
the opening games in the Coast league.
Patriotism and baseball mingled
freely. Both teams did military
stunts before the games at San Fran
cisco and saluted the flag like regular
soldiers.
Although the Oaks garnered nine
hits, they couldn't bunch them and tai
lied only one.
Gleiehmann IS triple with two one and
Ryan S screaming hit in the fourth
gave the Angels three runs and they
counted two more in the next inning
when Wade Killifer's three base swat
scored Mousel. Killifer himself tailed
a moment later while O'Mara was
trying to find a grounder.
The Seals got cramps in their legs
running bases.
Nineteen hits seemed great suf-
ficieney, but just TO show their friend
illness the Tigers contributed eight hor-
rible errors. The total Seal tallying
was 15
Wolverton's s crew got at least one hit
in every, inning but fifth. Five of the
blows were for extra bases.
McLarry, for Vernon, hit four safe
ties in four times up and scored two of
the Tigers five runs.
The Bees swatting ability dwindled
as the game progressed. They punched
five of their. IL hits in the first stanza,
for four runs.
Kirmaycr's flinging was gilt edged.
He permitted only five safe smashes,
never more than one in any single in
ming. Some lured fielding by the
Bees filled the bases for Portland in
the third but Kirmayer tightened up
and retired the side. Final score,
Bees Beavers 0.

eff the legal status did not require

ment' III this resolution, I would sub

/ Hitchcock for Resolution.
Urging that there be ono faltering,
no division, n weakness in the nation, "
Senator Hitchcock today began his argu-
ment for passage of the resolution that
will make war with Germany an open
actuality.
Hitchcoeli's appeal was the moro
drastic as he declared he had always
been opposed to war and even in face
of that former belief, asked congress
to pledge the nation to a war that may
last three years and cost much blood
and sacrifice war "that shall have no
Gethselnane."
"We want no more territory, demand
no indemnity, have no historic grudges
to settle and no racial antipathies, !"
Hitchcock began.
"We alone of all the nations will
spend our treasure and lives without
hope of material gain.
"We are going to war to vindicate
honor and independence as a great ma
,tion. We are going to war in defense
of humanity.
"Such quarrel as we have was forced
upon us.
"I do not believe the Germans desire
war, but the German government is des-
perate.
"No great nation could hold place
in history If it permitted itself to be
ordered off the sea. -
| Hitchcock declared he had been bit
terly opposed to war and had used all
his influence to avoid it.
"Even after | knew that the people
of the United States were overwhelm-
ingly for war I tried to avoid it, he
said.
81 even sought out the president
and begged him to avoid war. But now
am ready to take my place with those
who will back the president in prose
cutting the war to the utmost.
While the vote has not been taken,
we know the decision---it is war, he
shouted.
AS the senator sat down there was a
profound stir in the galleries.
Senator Swanson of Virginia then
began his address
Senator LaFollette, one of the evil
full twelve was not present when the
senate began its patriotic program.
Swanson and Lodge
Swanson and Lodge added their voic-
for immediate strong aggressive action
against Germany.
Anticipating spirited opposition to
the war resolutions by LaFollette and
Stone, republicans were preparing to
rebuke the former and the democrats [
the latter on the floor.
Many members, both republicans and
democrats, it became known today, for
some time have figured upon taking (
drastic action against LaFollette and !
Stone, If they attempted any filibuster I
ing tactics.
The issue is not war or peace,
Senator Swanson said "War has al
ready been wantonly and lawlesslv |
prosecuted against us, The question is {
whether we shall accept war or cow
ardly and abiect submission. The VIC /
lation of our territory by high German !
in this country has been de /
tailed. For five years we have known +
of German activities in Mexico preiu |
dieial to our interests and seeking to |
emhroil us with that country. We have |
