The Expected Congressional
Program Is Stirring
the Members
LEGISLATION
is IN DOUBT
Leaders in Congress Hope to
Finish Work by
July l

Washington, March l3.--Trouble ha.
developed in connection with the efforts
of the Democratic leaders to reach al
understanding concerning the measure:
to be considered at the extra session OF
Congress which President Wilson has
summoned TO meet April l6
| In view of the uncertainties of the
German situation and his inability TO tell
in advance whether any war measures
are to be needed, the president did not
specify the particular objects for which
he wanted the session assembled. In
| formally, however, he has indicated to
| the Democratic leaders what he thinks
should comprise the legislative program.
Through Senator Ollie James of Ken
lucky, who is regarded as the presidents
mouthpiece on the steering committee"
of the Senate, Mr.. Wilson is understood
to have approved in a general way the
following program:
The appropriation bills which failed of
passage in the closing hours OF the short
session. Those bills are the army appro-
priation bill. the sundry civil appropria-
tion bill and the urgent deficiency bill.
The armed neutrality bill which was
killed by tilibuster.
The numerous anti-spy bills urged by
the department of justice as means OF
combating the various German intrigues
known to be on foot.
The Webb bill permitting American
exporters to maintain cooperative fer
eign selling agencies abroad.
The bill TO increase the size of the in
staf nOy, at.aa al raj
fication by the Senate Of the Colombian
treaty.
While this is the program that is
agreeable to u majority Of the leaders it
has failed as yet to win the Endorsement
of the prohibition leaders, the advocates
of universal military training or the
sponsors of the proposed woman suffrage
amendment, each of which groups is
clamoring for action on its respective
cause" In view OF the strong possibil-
ity of war with Germany it is probable
that many of the leaders would be will
ing to include universal training in the
program but for the certainty that the
OF woman suffrage and ma
tion-wide prohibition would then be more |
than ever insistent that they be given |
recognition
/ Under the tentative program drawn up |
the extra session. If war does not de- |
velop in the meantime, could be brought |
to close, the Democratic leaders say, |
by July |. Should there be war, how
ever, it is realized that all agreements
that might now be made would of course
be called off. Congress would then prob
ably insist on remaining in session, and
Il is assumed that the president and the
would want it in session to pass
needed war measures.
The presidents primary object in calling
he extra session was of course to insure
he passage of the three appropriation
bills. without which the government
would be extremely embarrassed after
he beginning of the new fiscal year on
July l.

The Secret Service Men Are

MESSAGES FROM
GERMAN CRUISERS
More Ramifications of the
Spy System-Carranza
Bares Plans

New York, March l3.--Government
agents yesterday continued their investi-
cation into the activities of persons un-
der arrest at Philadelphia charged with
smuggling ships chronometers from the
German auxiliary cruisers interned at
the Philadelphia navy yard and of per
sons suspected of having had hand in
the alleged violations of the customs
laws.
There are reports that federal authori-
ties have discovered a plot with many
ramitications to damage property at the
navy yards in the event there is war
between the United States and Germany.
Government officials neither confirm nor
deny published reports that explosives
have been smuggled on board the Kron-
prinz Wilhelm and the Prinz Eitel Fried
rich, tied up at the Philadelphia navy
yard. The two ships, it was said, will
be searched for explosives. Up to this
time, it is said, the navy department has
only the assurance of the commanders
that there are no explosives aboard.
Adelbert X. Fischer, his wife, Helen,

grocery concern, all of Philadelphia, are
on bail charged with smuggling the
thermometers from the two German ships.
Other arrests may be made. Rohner's
friends declare he had been persuaded
by Fischer to permit his motor truck to
be used for transporting boxes from the
navy yard when Rohner's employees de-
livered groceries to the interned ships.
Rohner said Sunday that he was the
victim of an act of courtesy. Twice a
week, he said, he delivered groceries and
other articles to the informed ships on
motor trucks, and Mrs Fischer asked
his permission to send some things TO
the yard on one of these trips. The
articles he said, were six apple cakes
and some cream. At another time Mrs,
Fischer asked Rohner's permission to
let his driver bring articles from the
German cruisers. He consented, he said, |
after she had assured him that he would |
not be doing anything unlawful The ar
ticles were brought to Rohner's wholesale
house and called for by Mrs. Fischer.
Rohner added that he knew nothing of
the contents Of the boxes until appraised |
by federal agents.
Many papers and documents takeni
from the Fischer home in the suburbs of |
the Quaker city are being examined by !
the federal authorities. 1t was said that
the Fischers are related Instantly to

| Hornsby and Doak have signed con-
tracts to play ball with the Cardinals
for another season. Two more of the
holdouts under cover.
Tom Enright, the crack baseball play
err, has given up playing ball with Har-
ward this summer and has left the Grim
son squad. Enright is doing this be
cause of the three-year rule. If he
played ball this spring, he could not play
on the football team another fall.
The Yale wrestlers proved to be too
strong for the Princeton squad of strong
men, winning by score of 20 to 10
points.
Zeke Lehman of the Yankees is look
ing better every day to the Giants man
agement and before the season is many
weeks old he may be the real find of the
season. Down at Marlin the giant from
Eldorado is going at fast clip and al
ready he has shown great judgment in
his pitching and has been exhibiting the
stuff which all major league bosses are
very anxious 10 get out of their stsft.
In a game between two OF the Giants
teams the other day, Lehman retired
three of the best hitters on the team
when one stops to consider that they
were Robertson, Fletcher and HerZog
Outside of Clarence Rowland, every
manager in the big leagues is a former
major league ball player. There are six
old catchers, four pitchers, four iniielders
and one outfelder. The catchers are
Stallings, Connie Mack, Mitchell, Robin
son, Foil and Moran. The pitchers are
Mathewson, Donovan, Callahan and Grit

gins. MeGraw and Jennings, while the
outfelder is Fielder Jones. The only
man in the leagues who is playing
is Jack Barry, all the Others

they have passed their usefulness as
players on the field.

the other day while sliding into second I
base. He hurt the same knee several

trouble to him on several occasions.

emperor of Germany is the head. Mrs
Fischer is also said to be related to
Koerling, a great German ironmaster
What part she took in the alleged Snug
Cling has not been revealed
The arrest of the Fischers and Rohner
has goven impetus to movement start
ed last week to have the informed Ger
man cruiser removed from the Phila
delphia navy yard, 1t is declared that in
the event of war the $50 interned Ger
man sailors would be serious menace
to the yard and South Philadelphia.
The assertion is made that the chron-
ometers taken off the German warships
were used TO transmit messages by what
is known as the "clock code"
Among the developments in connec-
ton with the great spy system of the
Germans in America and of the machina-
tions and intrigues as proven by the
seized Won lgel papers, is the arrest OF
student from India, at Columbia univer-
sity, who was friend of the Bengalese
doctor Chakraberty, also held prison
er in New York on the charge of I'M
neutral plotting.
The arrest OF a German VINO nau what
he called "a money making machine"
but which proved to be a powerful porta-
bic wireless apparatus, is another Incl
dent that interests the secret service
men.
Word comes from officials on the Tex
an border that the information as to
note actually came from
Carranza and that the first chief OF the
Mexican republic, instead of listening
to the plot to have Mexico and japan
join hands to fight America, actually
proposes to join with the United States
as against the Teutons.
Various other publications and discov-
cries give evidence that the hostility of
the kaiser, and his plans against the
United States, date back many years,
also that Won Papen was interested in
his propaganda as long ago as 1890. The
prevalence of German newspapers in
many countries and their uniform tone
n carrying out this form of propaganda,
strengthen this premise.
1t has been established also that Ger
many sent shipments of arms to Mexico |
% help Huerta in his revolution, the |
shipments having been sent on the Kron
)rinessen Ceeilie, now in Boston and |
IN the Bavaris. II is called to mind |
hat when Huerta fled Mexico he went |
