problem is acute. When the men

ing more space. To aid in handling
this problem, the Real Estate BrOk-
ers' Association has appointed the
following ways and means commit
tee TO meet the emergency in con-
nection with the aid of citizens and
other commercial bodies and the
government.
Charles W. Fairfax. president of

die this problem, consisting of A. S.
Gardiner, Fl. T. Shannon, John L

and Harry Wardman.
Several methods for relieving the
congestion that must be experience

committee to the proper authorities.

the legislation making unlawful the

after July l, 1918. should be repeal

Members of the Real Estate Brokers'
Association and the public all agree
with Mortimer ]. Luchs, committee
chairman, that the following scale OF
commissions on real estate sales is
equitable. The owner of property de-
string to sell wants the action which
cut-rate brokers cannot give. The ten
dency now is not to list property with
half a dozen brokers. but TO pick one
and expect him to do the work at a
fair commission.

to 5000 valuation. Three per cent on
excess valuation over S., 600.
Five per cent straight commission on
all sales Of suburban property.
On exchanges. PA per cent for all
exchanges of property; the owner of
the higher valued property pays per
cent on the excess shown in the ex-
change, and per cent on the excess.

ANOTHER BOMB PLOT
 REVEALED BY POLICE

Hoboken, N J., March 5.-With the arrest here today of Fritz Kolb, a German. the police believe that they have frustrated well-developed plan to aid Germany by blowing up muni- tion plants in this country engaged on contracts for the allies. The police said they found in Kolb's room two bombs, which, it was rumored, were to be sent to President Wilson.
 {, After preliminary investigation the officers said that they believe the plans of the alleged plotters had to do entirely with destroying war sup plies and no attack on the presidents life was intended.
 The police also said they had infor- nation which might help solve the Black Tom (N. J.) explosion and the destruction of the Kingsland (N. J.) plant of the Canadian Car and Foun- dry Company in which large munition supplies for the allies were blown up.
 "We are cooperating with the New York police and the neutrality squad of the port of New York;" said Chief Hayse. "All of us have been working on this for several weeks"
 Kolb was found in small hotel op- posite the pier of the Hamburg Amer ican Line. His room apparently had been used as a laboratory. Besides the bombs the police found brass and copper tubing resembling that used in ships. The bombs were made of this material. A flask of black powder, bottles containing gasoline, benzine and alcohol; tools, trinitrotoluol and

WILSON MAY FIND
 POWER ELSEWHERE
Considers Arming Ships if Ex- isting Laws Will Permit Such ActiOn-AnOther Senator Fa- vOrs Armed Neutrality.

Washington, March 5.-Further ac- tion by President Wilson in the Ger man situation was postponed today pending a decision whether he has power to arm American merchantmen despite the failure of Congress to pass resolution conferring such author ity. The question was referred to Attorney General Gregory and Sec retary Lansing and probably will be decided in time for consideration at tomorrow's cabinet meeting.
 A determination to arm merchant men if legal way to do so can be found, is apparent. The president has placed squarely before the Senate the responsibility for changing it's rules during the special session begun to- day so that filibustering by small group of senators cannot prevent ac- tion by Congress. Meanwhile he is preparing to take such steps as he can to meet the crisis and defend American rights. Has Power to Convoy.
 While the arming of merchantmen is the step most considered it is said that the president has the right tc convoy American vessels. This course has been opposed by the Navy De- partment for strategical reasons. An other suggestion is that the shipping board take over American merchant men, arm them as naval auxiliaries and send them abroad.
 The president believes that certain old statutes still in force might pre- vent him from furnishing guns tc merchantmen, but some of his ad visers say that a broader and truel interpretation of these laws will show that they have no application to tho present situation.
 Another name was added today t( the list of senators who signed g manifesto declaring they favor the armed neutrality bill and would have voted for it if given the opportunity Senator Lippitt of Rhode Island tele graphed asking that his name be at' fixed, making 76 signers.

LOWER HOUSE LETS
 COURT HAVE CASE

| Little Rock, March 6th.-The House | took no action Monday afternoon on charges of having solicited bribe of $1O0 from Claude iRngo of Little Rock to vote for the Sunday baseball bill. After hearing the evidence taken by the special committee con- sisting of Representatives McGill, Doyle and Brooks, the following reso- lution was offered by MT. Hardy of Faulkner, and unanimously adopted on the motion of Mr Mathis, seconded by MT. Kendrick:
 "Inasmuch as the matter concern ing Representative Stephen Meadors is to be fully investigated in the courts, and the few days yet remain ing of this session can be better occu- pied than by embarrassing the de- fense of Mir. Meadors in the case of the State.
 Resolved, that the entire matter be referred to the courts and that this House take no further action"
 The committee made no recommen- dation, and there was no further dis cussion of the subject.
 Mir. Ringo testified that MT. Meador told him he would vote for the bill If he would arrange loan of $1OO for him. The gist of defense is contained in the following concluding portion of MT. Meador's testimony before the Senate Investigating committee:
 Q-Did you tell Mir. Ringo that if he would either take care of that note for you to Mir. Ross, or would see that it was taken care of for you and would see that it was paid, that you would vote for the Sunday baseball bill?
 Al did not and God knows 1 didn't tell him anything like that.
 Q-Did you say anything to him that would justify his reaching that conclusion?
 Al don't know why l should un- less he had been asking for that. That's the only reason in the world, because would not have done 1t. I've been here time and again, and would not vote for baseball not for S10OOO. That man (referring to Senator Gar rett) knows I wouldn't do it. He knows my moral standing at home, and my moral status. wouldn't have voted for that Sunday baseball for no consideration, never had the thought in my mind of doing it for any consideration in the world.
 Q-Have you been solicited by any one to vote for a measure on consid- eration of being paid any money in the Legislature of 1917?
 Al have not. No man has of fered me a dime of money to vote for any bill
 O-Do you know of any person who has been offered bribe to influence the action of any member of the Gen. eral Assembly of 1917, on any meas ure in that session of the Legisla ture?
 Al do not. I know I had an idea it was the incest session l ever served in and have been here three ses- sions and an extra session.
 O-You know of no bribery or soliciting of bribes of any character?
 Al do not, sir.

TO ENTERMINATE RABIES


CARSON CITY, March THE bill
providing for the creation of a state
rabies commission and carrying an
appropriation of $25.008 to be used

noXious animals was up for debate in
the senate a few days ago and re-
ceived favorable report after con
siderable discussion.
During tie course of the remarks
Senator Buol, chairman of the ways
and means committee, said he had
been told by Senator Huskey that
the cattlemen OF the state were di-
vlded on the merits of the bill.
Huskey said that he had talked
with three stoekmen, Richard Cow
les, Ira Fallon and J. b. Gallagher.
and that they were opposed to the
system contained in the bill. Cowles.
he said, told him that he was oppos-
ed to the bill and Gallagher and Fail
Ion favored the bounty system.
Senator Keddie replied that there
was time when most of the stock
men of the state favored the bounty
system but, he said, of late most of
them had been brought to believe
that the bounty system was not the
best and that the state rabies bill
should be passed
Senator Buol said that information
received from Congressman Roberts
was to the effect that the agricultur-
al appropriation bill carries an ap-
preparation of $1,200,O0O to be used
in discriminating rabies in the west
eln states.
