SENATORS ARE DENOUNCED
CRITICISM FOR THOSE KILLING
NEUTRALITY BILL.
Sharply Censured and Condemned as
Little Short of Traitors"-Move-
ment to Recall Lane.

New York, March 7. - Resolutions
c%ondemning as little short of trea-
sonable" the action Of the senators
who prevented the armed neutrality
measure from coming to a vote were
passed at a mass meeting held here
under the auspices of the American
Rights league. President Wilson was
urged to exercise his constitutional
authority 'for the arming of Ameri-
can ships passing through the barred
zone i~nsolently established by the
German decree"
Would Strengthen Germany.
The resolutions declared that the
senators who opposed the bill had
done what they could in the present
crisis to weaken the hands of the
American people and to strengthen
the hands Of Germany.
Letters and kilograms were read
from many prominent persons, includ-
ing former President Roosevelt, Gov
ernor Whitman, and bodies of citizens
of Chicago, Philadelphia and other
cities.
A telegram signed by a number of
citizens in Los Angeles expressed the
belief that val with Germany was in
evitable and urged the President to
direct our naval forces to scour the
seas and capture or destroy German
submarines wherever found"
Would Recall Lane.
Portland, Ore, March GA state
wide move to recall United States
Senator Harry Lane of this state has
been started here. The Oregon con-
stitution provides that every public
official is subject to recall by the vot-
ers and the action is being based upon
Senator Lanes opposition to the
Presidents request for authority to
arm ships.

WILSON AWAITS LEGAL ADVICE
HOLDS UP ACTION ON ARMlNG
MERCHANT SHIPS.
Apparently Determined to Put Guns
on Merchantmen II 1t Can Be
Done Legally.

Washington, March Z. Action by
President Wilson in the German stu
alton awaits a decision by his legal
advisers whether he has power to arm
American merchantmen in spite of the
failure of Congress to pass a resolu.
ton comforting such authority.
The question, referred to Attorney
General Gregory and Secretary Ian
sing, may be decided in time for con
sideration at the next cabinet meet
ing-the first of the new administra-
ton. A determination to arm the
merchantmen If a legal way can be
found, generally was apparent.
The President placed ~squarely upon
the Senate the responsibility for
changing its rules during the special
session so that filibustering by a small
group of senators cannot prevent &C
ton by Congress.
While the arming of merchantmen
is the step most considered, it is
pointed out that the President has the
right to convoy American vessels.
This course has been opposed by the
Navy department, however, principal.
ly for strategical reasons.

ARREST OF TEUToN RESERvIsT
IN HoBokEN BELIEVED TO
HAVE FRUSTRATED PLAN
TO AID GERMANY.
SIXTEEN BOMBS IN ROOM
where ARREST WAS MADE
Other Arrests Expected on lnforma-
tion Given by Suspect Taken and
Authorities Think They Have
Unearthed Widespread
Plan of Destruction.

Hoboken, N. j., March with the
arrest here of Fritz Kolb, a German,
the authorities believe they have frus-
trated a well developed plot to aid
Germany by blowing up American mu-
milton plants turning out supplies for
the Allies.
The police said they found in Kolb's
room two bombs, which, according to
rumors that had reached them, were
to be sem to President Wilson and
enough explosives to destroy the en-
tire city.
After a preliminary investigation,
however, they said they were con-
vinced the plans of the alleged plot
ters had to do entirely with destroy.
ing wal supplies and contemplated no
attack on the Presidents life.
May Solve Big Disaster.
The police also said they had infor-
nation which might help them solve
the Black Tom, N. J., explosion and
the destruction of the Kingsland, N.
j., plant Of the Canadian Car and
Foundry company in which large mu-
milton supplies for the Allies were
blown up.
Four other men we're questioned.
Chief of Police Hayes of Hoboken
said they were friends of Kolb, but
that he was convinced they knew
nothing of the alleged plot. Addition.
al arrests may result at any time, he
declared.
Room Like Laboratory.
Kolb was found in a small hotel,
opposite the piers of the Hamburg
American line. His room bore the ap-
pearance of a laboratory. Besides the
two bombs the police said they found
brass and copper tubing resembling
that used in ships. The bombs were
made of this material. There also
were a flask of black powder, bottles
containing gasoline, benzine and al
cohol, tools, trinitrotoluol and black
disc powder. Experts from the New
York detective bureau said the disc
powder was new to them, but they
believed it was similar to some used
in Germany.

Norfolk, Va, March 6.-Small boats
late Monday were securing the sea off
Winter Quarter shoals near here for
traces of the fifteen seasmen Of the
coast guard cutter Yamacraw, who
are believed to have persisted when
their lifeboate was swamped as they
were fighting through a choppy sea
to the rescue of the stranded Texas
oil steamer Louisiana. Small hope,
however, was held out when at day
break no trace of the missing men had
been found. Hope is also dwindling
that the Louisiana can be saved.

Wilson expressed, in forceful language,
his disappointment over the Senate's
failure to pass his armed neutrality
bill and discussed at length his cor.

manent peace, in an informal talk at
a White House luncheon to members
Of the Democratic National commit
tee.
The President declared he was
mad" over the attitude Of the little
group of senators who held up the
armed neutrality bill and indicated
that he hoped for better results if he
tried again to secure it's passage. The
present, he said, is no time for parti-
Ia or factional considerations in in
ternational affairs, because the need
that America unite in efforts to safe.
guard its interests is imperative.

SESSION SEEMS LIKELY
OFFICIALS SPECULATING ON
PROBABLE DATE.
Failure of Administration Program at
Last Session Contributing Cause
For Calling Congress Again.

Washington, March San extra ses-
sion of Congress not later than June
now is generally conceded among Of
ficials here.
Although President Wilson has not
given any definite indication that he
has finally abandoned his hope that
an extra session might be avoided,
there is an almost unanimous senti-
ment among Senators, Representatives
and officials of the executive depart
merts hat one must be called. They
declare that even if the international
situation does not demand it Congress
NUT come back to complete its legis,
lation program and I'LL up gaps in the
governments financial scheme caused
by failure of some of the more i'm
portant measures.
Specializing on Date.
So certain are man members of
Congress on this point that they are
specializing on the probable date OF
the session. The general expectation
among them, said to be based on word
passed out by officials close to the
President, that the end of May or
some time in June will be selected as
the time for the converting of the
new Congress. The progress made
by senators toward carrying out the
Presidents recommendation for a rule
limiting Senate debate generally was
regarded as strengthening the likeli-
hood Of a special session within a
few weeks. 1t is pointed out that in
his statement the President conveyed
the impression by implication, that
such a revision of Senate rules would
be a step preliminary to bringing
Congress back to finish it's program.
