WILSON REFUSED FULL
POWER TO ACT
IN CRISIS

Washington, Feb. 27.-Fout
American consuIs are being de
tanned III Germany, while the Ber-
III government awaits official ad-
vices that all German consuls in
this country, ordered to Central
and South America have been
permitted to proceed.
The German government s ac-
tion is based on circumstances
which, through no concern Of the
United States, detained Consul
Mueller at Havana, Cuba, while
he was on his way from Atlanta
to Quito, Ecuador, Mueller was
forced to remain in Havana be-
cause Of temporary lack Of trans
portation and failure to receive
passports from the EcuadOrcan
government. He left Havana for
his new post several days ago.
Washington, Feb, 2S.-The sit
uation in Congress fell into a
tangle again today and the pros
poets that there would be no extra
session were not so promising as
they were last night
The House foreign affairs com
mittee reported the bill to cmpOW-
er the President to protect Amer
lean rights against the German
submarine menace, but with
changes which are unWelcOmc to
the administration. Is
It declined to make provision
for the President to use "other
irstrumentaIitics" which he de
sires, and prohibited giving gov
ernment war insurance to muni-
ton ships.
The bill reported yesterday by
the Senate foreign relations com
mittee is practically agreeable to
the President. The two measures,
however, may besreconciled in
some way, although the President
has given notice that he expects
no material changes.
Prospects Of Republican fill
buster doomed VI. again in the
Senate.
Senators who today began to
insist uron "free and full" dis
cu sion of all measures openly
assert that the reason for their
course is to force an extra ses-
sion OF Congress.
Th' RAZOR part of the Republi-
can opposition apparently does
not lie against the bill to grant
the President broad powers to
deal with the submarine situa-
ton, although there are probably
a half dozen senator's on the mi
nority side opposed to it either in
principle or because they re
Sdlutu IL do loO oNccplhS III
character.
Senator Watson, Republican, of
who was prominent inl
engineering the filibuster against
the revenue bill, said today that
many Republicans would not op-
pose granting the President mere
" the power to arm merchant
ships and provide funds for that
but were decidedly |
averse to authorizing him to- use
'other instrumentalities.' y These
senator's feel that Congress should |
be in session if such powers are
yrauted

POISON BEANS
ARE SHIPMENT
Officials Have Found Burnah Beans
in Some Quantity In This coun-
try, Des Moines Pa
pers Say.
GROCERs ARE WARNED
Beans Said to Contain Prusslc Acid
and Are Fatal to Persons
Who Eat
Them.
GRooERs ARE WARNED

According to reports emanating
from Des Moines, there is poison
bean in the country. 1t Is reported
that Burmah beans, which look like
navy beans, but which are poison,
since they contain prussic acid, have
been shipped into this country and
are being mixed with navy beans.
The following Is from the Des
Moines Capital:
| Information regarding tee Burmah
bean has been brought to Des Moines
| by Prof. N. E. Hansen Of the South
Dakota Agricultural college expert
! ment station at Brooklyn, S. d.
Professor Hansen has informed
Harry Wallace of Wallace's Farmer
THAT the bean in great quantities has
been found in the southern part of
| South Dakota.
! This bean, which looks very much
| like the navy bean and can be dis
tinguished only by close observation,
| is grown in India and is known there
as the Burmah bean. 1t contains
prussic acid in quantities to kill
person If enough of them are eaten
and the digestive system happens to
be in the right condition. Other
wise, they will make a person sick.
The chief point of distinction be-
tween this Burmah bean and the
navy bean Is that the Burmah bean
has lines radiating out from the
heart or eye of the bean like a lima
bean. The navy bean does not have
these lines and the skin is smooth.
Also there are little yellowish places
on the Burmah bean.
Mr.. Hansen was unable to say
whether the mixing of this bean
with the navy bean is deliberate
attempt to poison people or whether
some Spectator is doing it. He said
he has information that six carloads
Of the beans have been imported into
this country.

COOPERATIVE HOG SHIPMENT
TOPS MARKET.

Topping one of the big markets OF the coun'
try is an unusual thing for an ordinary farmers
shipment of hogs, yet this was recently done by
part of a carload of hogs shipped comparatively
by twenty-three Pontotoc County farmers aided
by county agent c. M. Holland. There were lib
hogs in the car which was shipped to the st.
Louis market and Melted the farmers about
$500,
This report was just brought in by l. W,
Carpenter, livestock specialist of the Mississippi
A. and NJ. College, who states that this is the
first instance where a cooperative shipment OF
grade livestock from Mississippi has topped the
market, and speaks well of the future of the CO.
operative shipping plan which is rapidly spread
ing throughout the state. The business men and
bankers Of Pontotoc County are giving their sup
port to the local shippers, and plans are under
way to increase the Shipments this year to 100
cars.
These bankers are, now aiding in increasing
and improving the livestock of the county by
bringing in good breeding animate, both hogs and
cattle, and distributing these among the farmers
at cost, and on a credit for three years without
interest where a worthy farmer has not the ready
cash to buy the stock.
