Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1917-03-03

While the house of representatives
was filibustering all morning over the
worlmen's compensation act, the
Democratic majority seeking to sub
stitute the Anderson bill in toto for
senate bill No. 10, thereby striking
out all of the Rockwell act, 20 senators
had signed an agreement in black and
white to vote for no other act than the
Rockwell measure. In all 81 votes, a
majority, are pledged to the agreement.
The list of senators include all of the
Republicans in the upper house and
Senators Elliott, Bradbury, Harding,
Evans. Wedgewood. all Democrats. The
only Republican not signed is Senator
Thomas who left for his home at
Blackfoot but who is said to agree to
the program. These senators are so
pledged until they are released by Sen
ator Lowe caucus hartman. The
agreement was signed during the
night.
The principle for which the 81 SEN
ators declare they are standing is for
an equal chance for all employers and
no favoritism shown the larger en-
ployer which, 1t is contended, the An
derson bill, as It now stands, provides.
II is further contended that the rein
sured risk" amendment proposed to be
made to the Anderson bill offers fur
ther protection to the big employer.
COMBINATION is ANSWER.
The signing and binding of these
senators is the answer to the alleged
charge made at the Democratic house
caucus yesterday that the members of
the senate behind the Rockwell bill
were completely routed: that they had
deserted that measure and 1t was
doomed to defeat.
That possible compromise may be
effected is evident from the fact the
hackers of the Rockwell bill may be
willing to accept senate bill No. 10
as amended by the house providing
that the So called third plan" is added
to the others therein provided. calling
for casualty insurance compensa-
tion." Aside from this plan the An
derson and Rockwell bills are said to
be largely Identical. The two plans
provided for in the Anderson bill are
"self insurance" and state fund COM
pensation
COMPENSATION is BIG ISSUE.

STATEMENT ISSUED.

StAIEMEN lSSOEO.
The official press agency today Is
sued the following statement:
Foreign Secretary Zimmerman Wa
asked by a staff member of the officit
German press bureau about the Eng
lish report OF a German plot reveale
to get Mexico to declare war agains
the United States and to secure Japan
aid against the United States"
The state secretary for foreign af
fairs answered.:
You understand that 1t is i'm
possible for me to discuss the facts
of this revealed plot just at this
moment and under these circum-
stances.
BLAMES ENGLAND.
Therefore. l may be allowed to
limit my answer to what is said in
the English reports. which most
certainly were not inspired by
sympathy with Germany.
"The English reports expressly
state that Germany expected and
wished to remain with the Unit
ed States on terms OF friendship
but that in the case the United
States declared war against Ger
many, we prepared measures OF
defense. i fail to see how such a
plot is inspired by unfriendli-
ness on our part
THE "PLoT REVEALED"
"An Argentine newspaper which
printed a story a short while ago
really revealed the plot when, In
telling that the United States last
year suggested to the other Amer
lean republics common action
against Germany and her allies.
This plot was apparently not
conditional in the least. The news
as published by the newspaper La
Prensa well agreed with the inter-
probation given, for instance, by
the American newspaperman, Ed
ward Price, of Berlin, who said
that the United States was only
waiting fol- the proper moment In
order to opportunely assist the
entente.
"The same American stated that
Americans from the beginning OF
the war really participated in 1t by
putting the immense resources OF
the United States at the entente's
disposal and that the Americans
had not declared war only because
they felt sure that assistance by
friendly neutrality would be dur
ing that time much more efficient
for the entente. than direct partici-
patton in the war.
EVERYBODY KNOWS FACTS.
whether this American news
paperman reported the facts ex-
actly. we were at a loss to judge
in satisfactory fashion, since we
were more or less completely cut
off from real communication
with the United States.
But there were other facts
which seemed to confirm this and
similar assurances.
Everybody knows these facts
and / need not repeat them.
THE entente propaganda SER
vices have sufficiently heralded all
these pro-entente demonstrations
in the United States. And II you
link these demonstrations, to-
gether with the actual attitude of
the United States, then IT is OBJ
vious that the consideration was
not frivolous on our part of what
defensive measures we should take
IL we were attacked by the United
States"

SENATORS NOW READY
TO MEET THE ISSUE
Flood of Denunciation of
Germany Let Loose in the
Upper House of Congress
When Confession Became
Known.

Washington, March B.
Germany's, unabashed, ac-
acknowledgement today of
conspiracy to align Japan
and Mexico for invasion of
the United States appears to
have removed the last vest
ige of opposition in the sen
ate to the armed neutrality
bill.
First news of the Berlin
admission was conveyed to
the senate in United Press
dispatches, read into the rec
ord at the request of Sena-
tor Brandegee.
They created a profound
impression on senators, be-
ing re-read by unanimous re-
quest.
It made absolutely certain
that before midnight Presi-
dent Wilson would have the
fullest authority from con-
gress to arm American mer-
chantmen against submarine
attacks and uphold Ameri-
can rights at sea Through
other instrumentalities."
AMAZED AT ADMISSION.
Republicans, amazed at what some
called "brazen" admission from Ber-
lin, announced the measure would have
their ungrudging support.
Senator La Toilette loomed up as the
great unknown quantity.
Up to noon. he had maintained an
ominous silence. Republicans and
Democrats alike were in the dark as
to his intentions.
''Of course, II la Toilette wants to"
one leader said, "he can defeat the
bill. A roll call will be demanded, and
It is q question whether he will under
take to go on record before the country
as refusing to uphold the president s
hands in this crisis" :"
MUST FIGHT LIKE MEN.
"If another of our vessels is sunk
after this action by the congress then
there would be war IL this country is
fit to live" shouted Senator Brande-
gee. "The president says ships should
be armed If it becomes necessary.
Great God. Mr.. President, isn't It ne
cessary IL we keep to the seas at all?
Wont you stand up and fight like
men. or will you lie on your backs?
shall we sit supinely by and allow
the edict of a foreign potentate to de-
stroy American commerce?
Must we await until the slaughter
actually comes?"
EVEN NOW WAGING WAR.
1T is timidity. as the president says,
for our merchantmen to hug the
shores" Brandegee continued. 1T Is
would-be manslaughter, however, for
them to leave without being armed
against the homicidal maniacs now
securing the seas.
Germany is even now waging a
war against us and we hesitate to de-

A new Term
Interesting Exercises Marked by
Splendid Talks of Several
Citizens.
MANY VISITORS PRESENT
Large Attendance and Bright Pros
poets for Another Successful
Session.

Manning, Sept. 10.-The Manning
graded and high schools opened this
morning for another year under fav-
orable auspices. Quite goodaudience
of patrons and friends of the school
had assembled and the number of
pupils beginning the year was fully
up to the average. The exact number
enrolled is not yet available. The
school for the next year will be under
the superintendency of Prof. F. S.
Long, of Trenton, with competent
and experienced faculty.
Mr.. S. Oliver O'Bryan, one of the
trustees, opened the meeting with ap-
propriate remarks and introduced
Prof. Long, who conducted the re-
naming exercises. An appropriate
prayer was offered by the Rev. DR..
Watson B. ncan, of the Methodist
Church, and few well-chosen re-
marks were made by the Rev. DR..
e. M. Lightfoot, of the Baptist
Church. Prof. e. j. Browne, super
intendent of education, was called
on and made appropriate remarks of
counsel and encouragement to the
teachers and pupils.
Gives Good Advice.
The Hon. j. H. Lesesne, the last
! speaker, said he would not lecture
anybody, and especially the children,
but said he would direct his remarks
more particularly to the teachers. He
urged them to train the girls to be
queens of their own households, and
to stimulate the idea of patriotism and
love Of country in the boys, because
the time had come in American life
when the country did not need SO
many college presidents and bankers,
but true women at home and men pos
sessing real manhood Supt. Browne
| alluded to the fact that Prof Long
had once been one Of his pupils, and
Prof. Long pleasantly turned the
tables by saying that if he made
any serious blunders this year it
would be charged to Prof. Browne for
the way he had started Prof. Long
| off.
Corps of Teachers.
The complete faculty for the new
school year is composed as follows:
Forst grade, Miss Rose Enrich, of
Georgetown; second grade, Mrs. J. A.
Cole, of Manning; third grade, Mrs.
J, X. Brecdin, of Manning; fourth
grade, Miss Helen Boyer, or Manning;
fifth grade, Mrs. George w. Will
liams, of Manning; sixth grade, Miss
jamie Wilson, Of Manning; seventh
grade, Miss Mildred Sellers, of Dillon;
eighth grade, Miss Lucie Wingard, of
Lexington; ninth grade, Mr.. Julius
Dreher, Of Newberry; tenth grade and
superintendent, Prof. f. S. Long of
Trenton.
The Manning school stands high in
reputation for the character and prep
aration Of its graduates and there is
every reason to expect that this rec
ord will be fully maintained in the
future.

Such was the presentment of the
York County grand jury, who were
called here today to continue the in
vestigation into the lynching of the
Rev. Watson Sims, a colored precher,
on August %.
All Already Arrested.
The eleven men presented have al
ready been arrested. Dick Norman,
one of the accused men, turned States
evidence and is now out on bond of
81 900 as material witness.
John r. Hart, Of coUnse flor the
defense, said this afternoon that ap-
plication for bond for the ten men in
Jail would be made before Associate
Justice r. C. Watts, at Laurens,
either Friday or Saturday.
The presentmcnt of the gram jury
did not surprise anybody, but rather
it was expected. None of the wit
nesses who testified at the inquest
were examined by the grand jury, and
all the witnesses summoned before
them did not testify.
Much Interest Shown.
There was large number of peo-
pie from the Sharon and Hickory
Grove communities here on account
of the sitting of the grand jury. The
foreman is prominent citizen of
that town. Because he is related to
one of the defendants, J. Mason Nc
Gill, member of the grand jury
took no part in the investigation.
Judge James w. DeVore, of Edge
field, who happened to be here to pre-
side over the September term of the
Court of Common Pleas, presided at
the brief term of the Court Of General
Sessions. The eleven defendants will
probably be tried at the November
term of Court Of General Sessions.
