new DRAFT PLOT
Members of "Self Defense
League" Would Kill Officers.
killing of Relative Meant Death
of President.

Chicago. July 17.-Another anti
draft plot, regarded by federal Off
calls as the most sinister uncovered in
this section. was said to have been re-
vealed with the arrest today of John
Netchky, accused of promoting the
self defense league" 1t is said to
have involved threat 90 kill Presi-
dent Wilson.
A secret service man posing as a
member of the league IS said to have
obtained from Netchky the statement
that the purpose of the organization
was that:
IF they draft you. when you get to
the trenches, shoot your officers and
surrender to the Germans. If they
draft my brother and he is killed. I
will kill Wilson. If they draft me and
am killed, my brother will get Will
son."
By brother federal investigators
believe fraternal brother is meant.
More arrests are expected, it is
stated. How large the League" is
was not given.
Netchky was employed by a tool
company here.
Netchky was to be arraigned late
today before Upited States commits

WIN AGAINST OVERALLS
Women Coach Cleaners Don't Have to
Wear EN- Unless They Want To.

Kansas City, Mo-, July -7.-Women
employees of the Kansas City Terminal
Coach company won their fight
against overalls today when the COM
pany rescinded and made optional
their order that all women employed
in cleaning coaches must wear "over-
cites"
The company's order yesterday gave
the women until noon today to don
the masculine attire or quit their jobs.
Thru the Women'S Trade Union, the
women took their case before the city
factory inspection department. Legal
ly, the company is permitted to desig-
nate the clothing it's employees shall
wear while at work, L. A. Halbert,
head of the welfare board, found.
An arbitration committee was APP
pointed to adjust the matter
THE N.omen protested because
there were SO many men working on
the yards who would comment about
their attire. Most of the workmen
are gentlemen one of the women re-
marked, but some are not

BOOM FOR BERNSTORFF
But Advocates of Expansion Want
Observation-Disclosures as Secretary.

Copenhagen, July 1.-THE selec-
ton of successor to Foreign Secre-
tary zimmerman was still unsettled
yesterday. Pressure was being brought
from two directions to block. first, the
proposed nomination of Count Brock
dorff- Rantza. the German minister at
Copenhagen, and to substitute Adj
miral Won Hintze, minister to Nor
way, or Count Won Bernstorff, former
ambassador to Washington.
The present minister to Christiania
is greatly desired by pan-Germans
and advocates of a super-vigorous
policy. not only on account of his
high diplomatic qualifications but
chiefly because of his antecedents.
Apparently it is felt that a former
naval officer, particularly one who
played such a prominent role at Ma
Mia i'm the events of 1898, will offer
the necessary guarantee that the Ger
man foreign policy in regard to peace
negotiations would be conducted along
the desired energetic lines. The EN-
Bernstorff party is endeavoring to
organize a boom for him.
George Bernhard, the political
writer, enthusiastically recommends
Bernstorff to Chancellor Michaelis,
not only as a capable and experienced
diplomat, but as person with the
necessary calibre and qualifications,
whom the chancellor will need as CO.
adjutor and adviser in the coming
peace negotiations.

All. A COMPROMISE.
Would Have Board of Three To
Control Food and Fuel.
Fixes $1.75 Minimum Wheat
Price; May Vote at Once.

Washington, July 17.-Senators to-
day virtually concluded their task of
drafting compromise amendments tc
the administration food control bill
and debate was continued with the
prospect of voting late today or to-
morrow.
The compromise agreements, the
Democrats and Republicans who have
been working together believe, will
command support from a majority OF
the senate.
Creation of a board of food admin
istration in lieu of q single individual.
composed Of three members directly
under the presidents control is the
principal change to be proposed by
the leaders. Other important changes
agreed upon today at the bipartisan
conference We're for fixing by con-
gress of a minimum price of $1.75 per
bushel for wheat, and extension of
the government licensing and food
purchasing powers in the bill. 1t pre-
viously had been agreed to limit gov
eminent control to foods, feeds, and
fuels, including gasoline and kero'
sene.
Elevators Under License.
The minimum wheat price of Sis.
under the tentative amendment draft
ed today, would be for No. l, north
ern wheat as a basis or standard for
minimum prices of all other wheat
grades
Provisions of Senator Cores substi-
tute bill regarding the wheat mini
mum price. the licensing and federal
reluisitioning purchase and sale pow
ers were substantially approved by
the leaders
The proposed compromises would
'provide for licensing of elevators, cold
storage plants, packing houses, coal
mines and. factories, limited, however
to products and agencies entering into
interstate or foreign commerce. The
