WASHINGTON, March 29.-Faction
al battle flags were hoisted tonight in
both democratic and republican camps
in preparation for the conferences to-
morrow and Saturday over house or
ganization plans.
The republicans are divided along
many lines While it is generally con-
ceded that the party will have for
NAL ticket in the field, the progressive,
bipartisan, temporary organization,
and anti Mann factions are expected to
have much to say before program is
agreed upon.
Democrats face a serious problem in
the announced opposition of Represen
tative Gallivan of Massachusetts, a
'wet" insurgent generally credited with
a score of followers, to the organiza-
ton plan for re-seating old committee
chairmen and advancing other COM
mitteemen to chairmanships under the
seniority rule.
Mr.. Gallivan announced today that
while he would support Speaker Clark
for reelection, he would not go into the
democratic caucus, but would oppose
the democratic organization committee
plan but would further urge the naming
of several republicans to committee
chairmanships.
Il am unalterably opposed to the
southern ,democratsyreHsr in the.
saddle throughout the coming con-
gress," Mr.. Gallivan said. "They have
had virtually all of the choice chair
manships in the past and they should
not have them again. This is no time
for one section of the country to be
controlling the house.

WASHINGTON, March 29-While it
is assured from the defensive measures
already taken by the military arm of
the government, President Wilson in
addressing congress next week will ask
for war against Germany or declara-
ton that state of war exists, it is
known he will speak along broad lines,
dealing lightly with incidents leading
up to the present crisis.
Officials feel that the time is past
when incidentals should be discussed,
and henceforth that only fundamental
questions of both present and future
American safety should be considered.
AS a result the president is gathering
opinions and suggestions from all sides
as to the sort of an address to make
in the coming crucial hours.
The general situation has not been
changed by the speech of the German
chancellor, Won Bethmann- -Hollweg. to-
day according to the view tonight of
officials.
Germany, it was said, has consistent
ly attempted to lay the blame for her
acts on other nations. On previous oc-
casions President Wilson has taken the
position that Germany is in no way
justified in carrying on submarine
ruthlessness because of the British
blockade.
Only complete abandonment of unre-
strcted submarine warfare could
change the attitude of the United
States, it has been said semi officially
recently, and press reports indicate that
the German chancellor did not even
discuss that possibility. The president
will meet with his cabinet tomorrow
for the last time before beginning the
actual writing of his message to con-
gress, and therefore it is expected that
the German question will be dealt
/ with very formally.
1t is hoped that no time will be lost
in organizing the house. so that he may
deliver his address as soon as possible
after the extra session convenes.
The attitude of both congress and
public opinion is sought in order to
represent both as fully as possible. AS
to the former the president is anxious
not to transgress the constitutional
prerogatives of congress as the war
making body. 1t is realized that in the

MAN AND WIFE
ARE SHOT FOR
THEIR SAVINGS
Especial to The Republican,

TEMPE, March 29.-Influenced to
commit cold murder for the mere sake
of securing $105 cash that he knew
his victim to be carrying, Jose Herman
dez was taken into custody this morn
ing by the Tempe officers for the at
tempted murder of Juan Garcia and
his wife. Garcia is lying at the point
of death at rooming house here with
a bullet hole in his head and the bullet
still lodged in his neck, and his wife
has a broken jaw bone as a result of
a bullet fired into her mouth and has
a bad wound in the shoulder, where
the bullet re-entered her body and still
remains.
According to the information the
officers secured on the case today the
shooting occurred some time between
midnight and 2 o'clock this morning,
at the camp of Garosa and his wife on
a cotton ranch, about two miles north
east of Tempe. Apparently Herman
deg sole intent was to secure the
money, but after firing the shots he
was afraid to continue with his deed
and hid out until daylight this morn
ing. Then believing that he could shift
the guilt of his crime 20 others who
were staying at the camp he came to
Tempe for a doctor. AT the same time
Constable Woods and Deputy Sheriff
Estrada were called and they immedi-
ately went to work on the case, taking
Hernandez and his wife and brother
in-law into custody.
Garcia and his wife We're brought
into the office of DR.. r. L. Alexander
in Tempe and their wounds dressed as
best they could be for the time being.
The bullet wound on Garcia entered
Just between the eyes and taking a
downward course through the mouth
lodged in the neck, where it is still
resting. The physician believes he will
recover, though there are chances that
complications may set in before an
operation for the removal of the bull
let can be made.
Mrs. Garcia was shot in the mouth,
the bullet passing out under the jaw
and lodging in the shoulder 1t is prob
able that the bullet can be removed
without any great trouble and the doc
tors are not looking for any serious
complications as result of the broken
jaw bone.
According to Garcias story of, the
affair he and his wife were soundly
sleeping and knew nothing of the muir
derous intent of Hernandez until the
shots were fired. Inc Iirst shot went
wild, the second caught Garcia and then
Mrs. Garcia was shot as she started
to rise out of bed. The victim carried
the money they had on their persons
but Hernandez cleared out Immediately
after the shooting and Garcia and his
wife were left TO suffer the painful
agony from the wounds that were in
flicted until the doctor arrived this
morning.
Hernandez denied any implication in
the matter when first taken into Gus

ultimate analysis the responsibility for
decision rests there.
Public opinion, it was said here, as
indicated by clippings from newspapers
in all parts of the country, unmistak-
ably favors decisive action. Belligeren-
cy is not confined to the Atlantic and
Pacific sections if opinions gathered by
the administration are a. true index.
Demand for action on the part of con-
gress and the president comes also
from the interior section between the
Alleghenies and the Sierras. The views
reported by some mid-western con-
gressmen . S to the apathy of their con-
stituencies is considered more local
than general.
The greatest point under considera-
ton by the administration is whether
Germany has not Enthusiastically shown,
through a long succession of violations
OF international law, that the United
States must definitely unite with the
liberal democracies of the world against
the four most complete autocracies,

ty. All hope has been lost. as shown
in the note te Germany as to the treaty
of 1928, in the good faith of the present
German rulers. The Belgian invasion
and deportations, the ruthless subma
rine warfare, the attempts to embroil
neutral countries in plots, and the gen.
eral conduct of the war; have convinced
many officials that the German mill
tary system as at present directed is a
permanent danger to the worlds peace.
German plots in this country, run
ming back almost to the beginning of
the war and finally eliminating in the
Zimmerman note to ally Mexico and
Japan in a war against this country,
are regarded as evidence of the evil of
the German system. The administra-
