covery that stock poisoners had been
at work and that two further attempts
at incendiarism had been made were
the principal developments today in
the situation here. following the burn

mill and the arrest OF upward OF 10
members or the Industrial Workers OF

From the farm OF J. Frank Adams
report was made that % horses and
200 cattle had died of poisoning. j. Fl.

evidence as to the identity of poison

destroy a great barn on one OF Adams'
ranches yesterday by means of a
burning glass so placed that when the
sun should reach a centain position 1t
would fire tho hay in the barn. Tho
machine was discovered in time to
spoil the plan. Adams has had no
labor troubles but has been heavily
engaged in supplying horses and cattle

Cattle and Sheep.
Fifty cattle on the "Pitchfork" ranch
were poisoned last Saturday and 40
sheep belonging to Cox brothers met n
similar fate. Report OF these occur

day.

"A lot of things have been going on
here during the last three weeks that

GOOD ROADS BILLS
Important Legislation Before Senat'
This Week.

Good roads measures are expected
to take up much of the time of the
senate during the next few days
There was brief squabble over those
measures Wednesday with the result
that altho only one bill was reported
back to the senate for passage two
will be printed and distributed.
The bill known as the Barr or adj
ministration roads and hiI ways bill
was reported favorably by e senate
committee and a measure 1troduced
by Senator Milligan of Ar .erson was
reported unfavorably along with 9TH
ers. Senator Barr, chairman of the
roads and bridges committee, moved
that 1900 copies of the committee
bill be printed for distribution. The
committee bill is not precisely the
Barr bill, but it resembles it more
than it does any of the other road
bills that went into the committee
The senate ordered the copies
printed.
Then Senator Milligan, whose bill
had been reported adversely, moved
that his bill be placed on the calen-
dar and 500 copies printed for distri-
button. That precipitated a fight over
the question as to whether the COM
mittee report should be disregarded
Sustained by Senator Satterthwaite
and half a dozen others, Senator Mil
ligan gained his point and copies of
his bill were ordered printed.
The Barr, administration or COM
mittee bill, anyway the one reported
by the committee, is said to be a re-
draft of the Iowa road law.

new steps planped by the central pow

opened the sitting with a speech of
which the keynote words We're:
We have been challenged to fight

Chancellor Addresses Reichstag.
London, Feb. 1.-Chancellor Won
Bethmann Hollweg, addressing the
reichstag committee, declared that
Germany was ready to stake everv-
thing and fight to the end, according
to a Berlin dispatch.
The dispatch quotes the chancellor
as saying:
"On December IL, I explained to
the reichstag the reasons which led to
our peace offer. The reply of our op-
ponents clearly and precisely said that
they declined peace negotiations with
US ana wanted to hear only of a peace
which they dictated. BY this the
whole question of guilt for the con-
tlnuat1on of the war is decided. The
guilt falls alone on our opponents.
Just as definite is our task. The con-
ditions of the enemy we cannot dis
cuss. they could only be accepted by
totally defeated people. 1t therefore
means that we must fight.
Allies Peace Terms Untenable
President Wilson's message to con-
peace to the world Many of his
maxims agree with our aims namely
freedom of the seas, adjustment of
the system of balance of power, which
always is bound to lead to new diff
culties, equal rights of all nations and
an open door.
But what are the peace conditions
of the entente? Germany's defensive
force is to be destroyed; we are to
lose Alsace Lorraine and our eastern
provinces, the Danube monarchy is to
be dissolved. Bulgaria again to be
cheated of her national unity and
Turkey to be pushed out of Europe
and smashed in Asia. The destruc-
tive designs of our opponents cannot
be expressed more strongly. We have
been challenged to fight to the end.
We accept the challenge: we stake
everything and shall be victoriou>"
