with an immediate severance of rela- tions. Other senators were so confi- dent that Germany's new war zone proclamation meant invasion of Amer ican rights that they favored breaking off relations immediately.
 All understood that President Will son had not made up his mind wheth- CT to proceed, as proposed by Senators Stone and Lewis, on the assumption that American rights would not be vi plated; or whether to consider Ger many's announcement as ground in it. self for summary action.
 Without disclosing what decision if any he had reached, the president left the capitol with suggestion to senators that there should be a nights reflec- tion and some action by word or deed before Monday.
 It was said that no joint session of congress tomorrow to enable the pres ident to make an address was dis cussed.
 During the day it had been made clear that no communication had gone forward to Germany nor had Ambas- sador Gerard been given instructions to inform the government of the state of feeling in the United States. That, of course, has been done through the German embassy. which continues to express the firm conviction that there is little hope of avoiding a diplomatic break
 President Wilson's every action throughout the day was predicated on his belief that the United States faces the most serious crisis in it's history He chose the course of seeking the ad .

vice of other men to compare with his sown opinions. The Overwhelming sen timent from those he consulted was in favor of a break in relations. Only the time and method wsce questions )f difference. But even after his iong talk with the senators he returned to the White House to give further consider alton to the problem.
 One of the thoughts in the minds of the president and his advisers is that the action of the United States should be so unfavorable that it would guide other neutrals.
 President Wilson was boldly told by most of the fifteen democratic sena- tors in conference With him that the German declaration vas an affront to the United States and the civilized world, and that any other course than an immediate rupture of diplomatic relations would be viewed by the world as cowardice."
 Some, however, urged that Germany be notified of a definite time at which diplomatic relations would be severed. and a few others urged that nothing be done until Germany by some overt act demonstrated her deliberate deter imitation to affront the United States.
 All the senators assured President Wilson that whatever course he took would be supported by unanimous senate Senators who participated III the remarkable conference were Stone, Reed. Phelan. Myers, Overman, Rams dell, Hoke Smith, Beckham, Nerda- man, Pittman, Fletcher, Pomerene. Walsh, Lewis and Johnson, South Da- kota

eQuivocally to the cortes that the army and navy have been given instructions commensurate with the crisis.
 Cooperation by some neutrals is forecast here as distinct possibility. The whole neutral diplomatic corps has shown a degree of interest hardly unsurpassed during the war, as the double question is involved, not only of what the United States is going to do, but what action their own govern ments will take. Admittedly the action of part it least of the neutrals will be most decisively influenced by that of the United States and no attempt is made to conceal the eagerness with which the American decision is await ed
 No other proposition or the war has so completely affected all neutrals alike, it is pointed out. The German note was addressed to all of them and it's effects will operate apparently with out any distinction of nationality. The European neutrals are struck in their Vitals the South American neutrals, as shown by their press comment, are hardly less affected through the cut ting off of their fore-gn trade Press comment from South America has in- clcated that part of the public opinion there 1aNOrS luenlcal acton With that of the United States

BERLIN. GVia Amsterdam. to Lon- dOn) Feb. 2.-The semi official Co., logne Gazette declares that an adverse American reply to Germany's subma- rine notification will not change Ger many's intention.
 We cannot for a second time" says the newspaper, have any consideration for alien interest. Our honor and ex- istence are too greatly threatened by the new war declaration by th4 entente
 The Frankfurter Zeitung discusses the submarine program without en- thusiasm.
 "Only the most compelling reasons" says the newspaper, "can have induced the emperor and pr. Won Bethmann- HollWeg to sanction the measure. Doubtless there have been negotiations between Berlin and Washington but we are ignorant of their results. It cannot be imagined, however, that there can be any new yielding to Amer ican protestations and it, therefore, must be assumed that the imperial au- thorities are firmly convinced that German strength will be able to hold it's own against an onslaught by the whole world. Whatever America may decide. the German people confront the future fearlessly"

future which we will need to
 plan for. Don't sell any prop
 erty. We need the parks and
 here IS ore we already own which
 "e are talking of selling at much
 less than it is really worth.'
 senator H. B Wilkinson was one of the two who formally presented arg uments in favor of refusing to sell the property and of keeping it for a Civic Center. at the Rotary club meeting. The other r2rparks favoring the Civic Center idea came in the general discussion with the exception of the address of Dr. Roy Thomas But single man during the general discussion advocated the sale and here was his argument-that 10 get S2l0,O00 at this time was wise even if the city had to buy the prop ertv back for s500,00 ten years later -$30o,000 being the interest the peo- pie would have to pay for the use of $210,000 for ten years.
 Senator Wilkinson said that be- lievers in the Salt River valley can clearly see the vision of a Civic Gen. ter to put Phoenix abreast of other forward looking cities "A business block is a fine vision," said he, but it is net the great vision a Civic Center is. Chicago is now spending S40.000,000 to buy pack land it once had, for Civic Center. and Denve, and other cities are also spending great sums to undo the mistakes of the past. It is the coming idea in all enterprising cities to recover ground for parks and Civic Centers
 Phoenix loses it's opportunity for Civic Center if it allows this block to go. There are only such diff culties as can be overcome in the way of the carrying out of this plar and the city Of Phoenix is short sighted if 1t allows this chance for a Civic Center to depart from it.
 This block is on the main avenues east and west and north and south If it is made a Civic Center it will be a source of pride to us just as we now take our visitors to view the adjoining block on the west
 Some Would Profit by Sale
 T have no doubt there are business men who would be glad to have us sell this property for s210,00, for once we were offered s250,000 for it and it-will be worth that price again and many times more. We are starting in on an era of prosperity now such as we have never known and this land will be worth much more than

 When asked if the ship would sail as scheduled. even though the state uepar lment did not comply with his request for instructions, MT. Frank lin said:
 That is another matter I cannot say now what we will do."
 1t was inferred, however, that an answer from Secretary Lansing with instructions as to the course to follow was expected before the time set for sailing.
 None of the British lines has re- ceived any new instructions as to the sailing of their ships. local repre- sentatives announced tonight. Dur ing the day five freighters, one of them an American vessel, left for trans Atlantic ports. The American ship was the Dochra for Genoa. Sev- eral ships of Great Britain and allied nations, among them the White Star liner Adriatic, are announced to sail tomorrow.
 A complete tie-up, temporarily at least of Dutch and Scandinavian shipping was indicated both by cable Instructions received by various lines The Scandinavian-Amer line. whose passenger vessel Hellig Olav. was held in port yesterday. received word that all sailings of passenger shins had been temporarily sus pended.
 The Royal Netherlands Steamship company, which has ten vessels in American ports loading cargoes con- signed to the Dutch government, have been ordered to remain in port until further notice. Six vessels owned by the Swedish American Mexico line have been stopped pending further orders
 The Holland American line with the steamer Noordam here loading to sail Monday for Rotterdam with passen- gers and cargo. was advised that the liner Nieuf Amsterdam, their largest vessel, has been recalled, and it was expected officials said. that delayed cables would bring them similar in structions to those received bv other neutral foreign lines.

 SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 2-Charges that Israel Weinberg was offered a $5,000 bribe to frame up" evidence against Thomas J. Mooney, on trial here for murder as a result of a pre- pareGness day bomb explosion last July, were hurled in court late today by Attorney w. Bourke Cochran chief of counsel for Mooney.
 COckran's charges created intense excitement. He followed it up by declaring that the entire case of the prosecution was a conspiracy against Weinberg, Mooney, Edward Nolan Warren K. Billings and Mrs. Rena Mooney all defendants in the bomb cases
 Tocllrans outburst occurred shortly after Weinberg had taken the stand as a witness for the defense. After describing his movements on the day Of the explosion, saying he was far from the scene at the time. Cochran said:
 Now tell of the attempt made to hrioe You by Martin Swanson Swanson is a private detective who has figured largely on the case
 Asslstant District Attorney Edward A Cunha objected to the question and was overruled after Cochran had declared that the defense would prove that Swanson had offered the al legged bIibe in an effort to connect Mooney with the dynamiting of United Railroads pow or stations at San Bruno. Cal. in 1915.
 We can prove that Swanson came to the iaii after W-nhe~g's arrest and looking throush the bars at Weinberg, leered at him and used this expression. T told vou I would get ycu.- Cochran declared.
 The count took under advisement the question of whether Weinberg would be allowed to tell of the al- legged attempted bribery.
 Both Mooney and Weinberg tosti- fled that after their arrest they were not permitted for eight days to see anyone, not even an attorney.
 The defense expects to rest it's case next Monday. when the trial will be resumed.
