SUSPECT GERMAN. PLOT
AGAINST PANAMA CANAL
Teutons Hoped in That Way to Strike
Serious Blow at United States in
Case Of War.

Washington, March 10.-Germany's
India plot proposed TO stretch the fin.
gers of intrigue into the Panama ca,
nal.
Information in diplomatic quarters
here shows that the Teutons hoped
to use their Hindu colaborers in de-
structive work at the canal. This was
one of the ambitious ideas in the plot
which has already resulted in arrests
of two of the leading alleged conspir-
ators in New York. Germany hoped
that through the Panama canal work
she could strike a critical blow at the
United States in case of war. The
Hindus were to be used in place OF
Germans.
The plot insofar as revealed to the
State department and the secret serv.
ice shows that Germany scattered her
efforts in India, Guam, the Philippines,
Mexico and other Central American
states.

AMERICAN ENVOY DIES At PORT
AMBASSADOR GUTHRIE STRlCK.
EN- SUDDENLY AT TOXIC.
Apoplexy the Cause Of Sudden Taking
Off of United States Representa-
tive to Mikado's Kingdom.

Washington, March 10.-George w.
Guthrie, American ambassador to
Japan since 1913, died suddenly Of
apoplexy at Toxic.
Only a brief cablegram, announcing
his death, but giving no details, has
reached the State department. The af-
fairs of the embassy have been taken
over by Post Wheeler, the first Sec
rotary, who will act as charge until a
new ambassador is named.
Appointed by Wilson.
Mr.. Guthrie, a Pittsburgh lawyer,
prominent in national Democratic pol
itics for many years, was among the
first diplomatic representatives ap-
pointed by President Wilson. He sail
ed for Japan in July, 1913, and has
been at his post constantly since that
time, except for short visit to the
United States in 1915. He has acted
for his government in several diplo-
matte exchanges with Japan, includ-
ing the California anti-alien contro-
versy.
News of the ambassadors death
caused q shock at the State depart
ment, as there had been no reports
indicating failure of his robust health.
He was 68 years old. His last visit
to Washington was during his leave OF
| absence in 1916 and then he appeared
particularly we'll.
The department cabled message
| of coincidence to Mrs. Guthrie, who is
understood to have been with her hus
! band at the time of his death.

GIVEN CHANCE TO SPEAK
Wisconsin Senator, However, Makes
Expected Objection That Prevents
Roll Call on Armed Neutrality
Measure Which Expires
With Session.

Washington, March 6.-Twelve sen
ators, led by Senator La Toilette and
encouraged by Senator Store, Demo
cratic chairman of the foreign rela
tons committee, in a f1libuster, de-.
nounced by President Wilson's spokes.
man as the most reprehensible In the
history of any civilized nation, def1ed
the will Of an overwhelmingly major
ity in Congress up to the last min
ute and denied to the President a
law authorizing him to arm Ameri~
can merchant ships to meet the Ger
man submarine menace.
Unyielding through 26 hours of con-
tinuous session to appeals that their
defiance of the President would be
humiliating to the country; uncom-
promising i'm a crisis described to them
as the most serious to the nation
since the Civil war, La Toilette and
his small group of supporters refus-
ed majority of their colleagues an
opportunity to vote on the armed neu-
trality bill and it died with the Sixty.
fourth Congress.
Seventy-Slx Sign Manifesto.
To fix responsibility before the coun
try, 76 senators, 80 Republicans and
46 Democrats, signed manifesto to
proclaim to the world that they ia.
! vored passage of the measure.
This declaration, embodied in the
record Of the Senate, referred to the
fact that the House had passed a
similar bill by vote Of 403 to 13, and
also recited that the Senate rule per-
J hitting unlimited debate gave small
J minority opportunity to throttle the
| will of the majority.
The Manifesto.
The text of the manifesto follows
"The majority of the United States
senators favored the passage of the
Senate bill authorizing the President
of the United States to arm Amer
lean merchant vessels, similar bill
having already passed the House by
a vote of 403 to 10. Under the rules
| of the Senate allowing unlimited de
bate, it appears to be impossible t.
obtain a vote previous to noon, March
4, 1917, when this session of Cong
ress expires. We desire the state
ment entered on the record to estab
lish that the Senate favored the leg
1slation and would pass it if vote
could be obtained"
| Thirteen senators declined to sigr
the declaration, but one of them, Sen
ator Penrose, Republican, of Pennsyl
vania, announced that he would have
voted for the bill had opportunity beer
afforded him.

Celery's Many Virtues,

There is but little enlightenment af-
forded In the everyday culinary liter
allure on the many uses Of that deli.
cious plant known as celery. Proba-
bly, no other plant is so well adapted
to cooking in so many different styles
as celery, a vegetable that can also
be eaten raw.
There is hardly any other vegetable
of which every plant can be brought to-
such good account. The trimmings
can be used for f1avoring purposes, or
for soup and broth, while the seeds are
carefully preserved for similar uses,
or to produce celery sglt, which in It,
self forms an ideal table cOnMnlent.

the Yentna mining district, where
they are interested in valuable placer

operating in the district for several
years, with varying success and spent
last season in acquiring dredging

there would be considerable develop
ment work in the district this season

tons on large scale was particularly
bright. 1t is understood that w. w.
Woodland is en- route to Anchorage
with q dredging outfit, which he and
associates will operate at the mouth
Of Nakochna, tributary of the Kal-
mitua, which is in the same district
