Complying Literally With the Stipu.
lations of the Constitution.

Washington, March 4.-President
| Wilson took the oath Of office for his
| second term at noon to-day in his
room at the Capitol, and will be for
| mally inaugurated tomorrow with
public ceremonies rejecting great
national expression Of Americanism
Before desk piled with executive
business laid before him in the clos
| ing hours of Congress, and surround
ed by members Of his official family,
| the President reaffirmed with uplift-
ed hand and grave features his prom
| 1se to uphold the constitution IN
whatever crisis may confront the ma
| tion in the momentous four years he
| fore it.
After he had repeated solemnly the
oath taken first by Washington a
century and a quarter ago, he kissed
the Bible at the passage reading:
"The Lord is our refuge;
very present help in time of
trouble"
Chief Justice White administered
the oath and was the first to extend
his congratulations. Wringing the
Presidents hand, the Chief Justice
looked fervently into his face for a
moment, and then said brokenly:
MI IlSSiuSHl, l AIN very, very
ha?py"
Members of the cabinet then
crowded up with expressions of re-
gard. Mr.. Wilson received them
with 4 smile and then turned back to
his desk to complete his interrupted
! task.

Tomorrow the President will take
the oath again on the inaugural
stand before the Capitol. He might

der precedents established by other

ulation that he take Office at noon on
the fourth Of March.

take the oath to-day. He will be
sworn in for his second term to-mor-
row at the special session of the new

HELPLESS AND CONTENrpTIBI,N
PRESIDENT, Urges Senate to Amend
Its Rules to Meet Situation,

Washington, March 4.-President
Wilson tonight informed the couu-
try, In n statement, that he Is with
oat power to arm merchant ships and
take other steps to meet the German
submarine menace, in the absence OF
authority from Congress and that he
was mistaken when he said in his re,
cent address that he could act under
broad constitutional authority.
An extra session OF Congress, the
President says, is required to clothe
him with authority, but 1t Is useless
to call one while the Senate works
under the present rules. which per-
nit small minority to keep an over
whelming majority from acting.
rhe President proposed therefore,
that the special session of the Sem
ate which he called to meet to-mor-
row, revise the rules ''to supply the
means Of action and save the couu-
try from disaster"

ment OF the United States helpless

tion of a Missionary Union, composed

nee county. The specific purpose of
this union is to raise sufficient funds
for sending to China, and maintain
ing In that field, our missionary,
Miss Frances Stribling, OF Walhalla.
To further this enterprise the SER
vices of Rev. l.. L. Legters, OF Bish-
opyille, S. c., have been secured. Mr..
Legters has had recent and success
full experience in the organization of
similar work in Harmony Presbytcry.

lows:

ters will open campaign looking to
the organization of this union. The

This call to the Presbyterian
churches in the county should be

PLOT NIPPED IN BUD.
Bomb Artist Arrested in Hotel Where
Lieut.. Fay Was Taken.

Hoboken, N. j., March 5.-With
the arrest here to-day of Fritz KOlb;
German, the authorities expressed
the belief that they had frustrated q
well-developed plot to aid Germany
by blowing up munitions plants In
this country engaged in turning out
contracts for the entente allies. The
police said they found in Kolb's room
two bombs, which, according to rn-
mors that had reached them, were to
be sent to President Wilson.
After preliminary investigation,
however, they announced themselves
as convinced that the plans Of the al
legged plotters had to do entirely with
destroying war supplies, and that no
attack on the Presidents life was
contemplated.
The police also said they had come
into possession of Information which
might help them in solving the Black
Tom, y. j., explosion and the destruc-
ton Of the Kingsland, y. j., plant Of
the Canadian Car and Foundry Com
pany, in which large munitions sup
plies for the entente allies were
blown up,
Four other men were questioned
by the authorities tonight. Chief Of
Police Hayes said they were friends
of Kolb, but that he was convinced
they knew nothing of the alleged
plot.
Kolb was found in a small hotel,
opposite the piers Of the Hamburg
American line. In his room the po-
lice said they found the two bombs
and brass and copper tubing resem-
bling that used In ships. The bombs
were made Of this material. There
o1cN Iyorn nooL ),1ncl, nowIor
bottles containing gasoline. benzine
and alcohol, trinitrotoluol and black
disc powder. The bombs, the ex-
perts declared, were Of a new type
and had slow fuses. The explosive
content has not yet been identified.
Kolb denied that he had anything
to do with making the bombs, but
said, according to the police, that his
room was used for that purpose by a
man he knew only rs Karl" whom
he met in a saloon. He declared he
did not know the mans whereabouts
Kolb was borne in Cologne, Ger
many, he said, and came to this coun-
try soon after the war began, work
ing his way OH Standard Oil
steamer. He also made several trips
between this country and Mexico. lie
said, but not recently. At various
times, he added, he worked as a bar
keeper and waiter, and admitted that
he was a druggist and had sought a
position as a weigher in chemical
houses.
Kolb gave his age as 80. He had
lived at the hotel here for five weeks.
The hotel where Kolb was arrest
ed is the same one at which Lieut..
Robert Fay, formerly of the German
army, and Hans Bohiller had rooms
prior to their arrest nearly year
ago, charged with conspiracy to de-
str0y British merchant ships by plac-
ing bombs on them before their de-
parture from American harbors.

MAXWELL CAR MAKES
4 new GAS RECORD
L. N. STICE DRIVES STOCK CAR
37.3 MILES ON ONE GALLON
COMMON GAS

A Maxwell car driven by L. N.
Stice Of the Stice- Hansen Motor Com
pany yesterday broke the record for
this vicinity when it made 97.3 miles
with oae gallon of gasoline. The trip
was made within few miles Of Will
liston taking average roads and with
q fair load in the car.
The tank was filled in the presence
of witnesses at the garage yesterday
afternoon In the car that made the
high mark Arthur O'Dell and G. L..
Townsend acted as judges and their
affidavits accompany the records which
are made of the run in the Stice-H Han
sen Offices.
The test was as fair as anything
could be and anyone who drives much
these days knows the roads of Will
liams county are not in the smooth
est shape. However the car took the
bumps, ruts, hills and all other fea-
lures in the regular way and stopped
running at 373 miles, certainly a rec
ord for using gas to the utmost.
The test was made in connection
with a National campaign Of the
Maxwell company and loca lfans are
awaiting with interest reports from
other sections of the country.
