hardly say that" They said they were
more inclined to believe Stones con-
stituency wanted him to do as he did"
They very frankly declared they do not
believe there was any ill-feeling on
either side between Stone and the
president in the matter, In view of the
close personal and political relations
that are known to have existed. These
men said the president, even now, has
no i'll feeling for Stone; merely regret
ting the grave error he made" and that
they did not look for the president to
take any part in any house cleaning
the senate may decide on"
While the fight against reelection
of Stone to the foreign relations chair

ment on the floor of the senate, many
senators admitted today 1t may be
futile.

One of these said: You know this
seniority rule regarding chairmanships
is like death and taxes. Such changes
as would be necessary to supplant
Stone would be revolutionary in a
body that is fundamentally just the
opposite"
Stone himself denied himself to ev-

his side of the case, failed to draw him
out. He refused absolutely to see any
one.

GERMAN UNDER ARREST TO
BE HELD FOR EXAMINATION

Havana, March Phil A. Howe, a
German, was arrested in Pinar del Rio
and brought to Havana today for ex-
animation as a suspicious character
possibly involved in the Cuban upris-
ing.
Papers found in Howe's possession
indicated he had visited the Ispean di-
vide, having made a horseback trip
over that sparsely settled territory
during the last four or five months,
and that he had travelled extensively
through the southern states of the
United States, remaining at Charles
ton, S. c., for some time.
Howe was questioned at length by
officials here, but later sent back into
Pinar del Rio under heavy guard.
His arrest is evidence of the close
watch which the government is exer-
cising in view of reports of German
aid being extended the insurrectos.
The official attitude is that so far
there is no evidence to support the
charge in the United States that the
uprising is of Germanic character, but
the government is proceeding with care
to investigate every report of Teutonic
plotting.
Howe's story was that he was gath
ering material for story on Cuba, but
the government is suspicious of this
excuse, pointing out that Howe's trav-
els lid him through a thinly settled
part of Cuba, instead of to the thickly
populated cities of the interior. Howe
could give no established residence.

Expert Pathologists Placed
on Stand at Trial of Four
Alleged Plotters Against
Lloyd George.

London. March 7.-Subtle poisons, an
inflnitesimal drop of which would cause
death If introduced in wound, were
revealed as the tools by which the four
plotters against the life of Premier
Lloyd George and Minister Arthur
Henderson sought to accomplish their
end in testimony offered at the old
Bailey trial OF the four today.
The crown called two expert patholo.
gists. Both delivered a bewildering
analysis of the effect of various poisons
found by Inspector Herbert Booth of
Scotland Yard in the possession of Mrs
Alice Wheeldon, Miss Hetty Wheeldon
and Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Mason, the
quartet on trial for the poison plot"
EXTREMELY POISONOUS.
John Webster, assistant scientific
analyst to the home office and a path
ologist chemist of repute, testified he
received from Chief Inspector Parker
of Scotland Yard a box containing four
glass Walls. Two he found contained
strychnine hydrochlorate and two Il
substance similar to curare. a poison
formerly used by South Americans for
tipping their arrows. He gave techni-
cal evidence of the extremity poisonous
nature of these drugs.
The crown will later connect these
deadly poison carriers with the defense
through Inspector Booth, who posed as
a friend of Mrs. Alice Wheeldon and
became her confidant in the alleged
plot, receiving the poison, it is claimed,
from her.
SCHEME OF THE PLOTTERS.
The crown is ready to prove by Booth
that Mrs. Wheeldon's plan, approved
by her fellow conspirators, was to use
the curare on dart like rust, mixed
with little of the strychnine powder
an air gun to propel the dart would
be sufficient. The strychnine was de-
scribed as best administered by the
mouth, although it's injection w: s also
recommended. Mrs. Wheeldon, accord
ing to Booth, boosted that all would
cause death in 20 minutes.
Testimony adduced yesterday indi.
Gated that the conspirators-among
whom Alfred Mason is an expert chem
list known as a oXicoIogist-planned to
poison Lloyd George by a poisonous
nail driven into his boot while it was
left outside the door Of hotel room
for cleaning, and to do away with Min
lister Arthur Anderson by penetrating
his skull with a poisoned nail or dart"
