delegates of the pilgrims jeered and
hooted. The pacihsts shouted replies
and there was no mistaking foreign

between the two parties, but nothing
in the nature of serious fighting or
disorder.
Some OF those in the crowd per-
sisted in breaking through the police

SOUTHWEST READY
FOR WAR, SAYS TAFT
Part of U. s. Offered Mexico
by Zimmerman Incensed
at Germany.
VISITS ELEVEN STATES

New York, Apri. 2.--William How
ard Taft, returning to New York to-
day after what he said was the long
est and most strenuous journey he
has taken since he left the White
House, asserted that the people of
the south and southwest are ready
for war and that the United States
must enter the conflict "whole-heart-
edly."
Mr.. Taft spoke in eleven cities in
nine states from Virginia to Missouri
in behalf of the program of the
League to Enforce Peace and urged
the necessity of preparation for war.
Unless the war continues year
longer an American army cannot be
placed in the trenches of Europe, the
former president said, but the gov
ernment can aid with food supplies,
money and credit and with the navy
in suppressing submarines.
"The south and southwest is ready
for the conflict with Germany" he
said. "This great section of the coun-
try, part of which was decided to Mex
ico by Foreign Secretary Zimmer-
mann, has not an ounce of anti-war
spirit. Neither is there any rampant
jingoism. The people of the south
and southwest feel that war is inevi-
table and they are willing to go into
it to demand our rights. In fact, they
do not want to stay out any longer
and they feel that their battles are
being fought by somebody else"
Roosevelt is for War.
Tampa, Fla, April 2.-Theodore
Roosevelt, speaking to large gather
ings here and in Lake Land, Fla, yes

States should declare war on Ger
many without further formality. He
scored the pacifsts, asserting they
had already done all they could to
convince the world that the United
States could be kicked with I'M
punity."
Colonel Roosevelt, who arrived
from Puntagorda, Fla, where he has
been fishing, left last night for Wash
ington to be on hand during the extra
session of congress. He said he was
in excellent health and killed devil
fish during the trip.

demanding separate roll calls on each
office, and it appeared that perfection
Ct the house organization might run
late into the afternoon. 49,.
Senator Martin, the majority lead
er, announced in the senate that the
house organization was expected to
be perfected at 3 p. m. and that Presi-
dent Wilson would address joint
session as soon as the organization
was completed.
President Wilson's address imme-
diately will be sent to all the foreign
embassies and legations here and will
be telegraphed to American diplomats
abroad. 1t was acknowledged today
that foreign governments on receipt
OF it may interpret it as they think
best, even to assume that it so closely
approximates recognize OF state
OF war as to necessitate the issuing OF
neutrality proclamations. Whether
such step will be taken by any neu-
tral prior to formal action by con-
gress is unknown here.
The house session opened with
Clerk South Trimblc presiding until
organization was perfected. The
chaplain included in his prayer a plea
for patriotism.
Diplomacy has failed" he prayed,
'nioraI suasion has failed. Appeals
to reason and justice have been swept
aside.
"We abhor war and love peace, but
il war has been or shall be forced
upon US we pray that the heart Of
every American citizen may throb
with patriotism and that a united
people may rally around our presi-
dent to hold up his hands in every
measure deemed necessary to protect
the lives of American citizens and
safeguard our inheritance"
Senate Session Brief.
Nearly the entire senate member
ship was present when Vice Presi-
dent Marshall called for order, and
after the invocation the presidents
proclamation calling for the extra
ordinary session was read.
In the senate the chaplain also
referred to the problems confronting
congress.
"Amid the confusion and violence
OF the world today we cannot know
the things that may shortly come to
pass" he prayed. Lead us, oh God,
through the darkness until the day
dawns and shadows fee away. Grant
us courage to defend the truth. At
this critical time in the history of our
country lead these, thy servants, in
a plain path and inspire them with
lofty principles"
Senator Johnson Of California was
sworn in.
The senate, after being in session
about ten minutes, recessed to await
organization of the house. Senators
Martin and Gallinger, the two party
leaders, were appointed to act with
a house committee in notifying Presi-
dent Wilson that congress is ready to
receive communication from him.
In moving for recess until 3 p. m.
Senator Martin said:
Il understand there is strong
probability that the house will perfect
its organization by 8 o'clock and the
president will be pleased to address
a joint session as soon as 1t is COM
plete."
Before going to congress the presi.
dent did not take even members Of
his cabinet into his confidence on the
exact terms OF his address. From

Two Men Escape
From Penitentiary
By Scaling Wall

Lincoln, Neb.. April 1.-Two con-
victs, Tom Carr and Hadsel Trook,
made their escape from the Nebraska
State penitentiary early this morning
by attaching hook to a forty-foot
rope, hurting it to the top of the west
cell house and scaling the high wall
of the building. Their escape was
learned at S o'clock.
The men were firing in the engine
house last night and at midnight were
expected to go to bed in the engine
house. 1t is thought that they pro-
cured the rope from supply room
which they opened with a skeleton
key.
Carr, serving from one to ten years
for burglary, carries a bad reputation
among the officials. He has twice
violated prison paroles. Trook is
serving a fve-year sentence for a
statutory charge. Both men were
sent to the prison from Lancaster
county.

EARLY SCENES AT CAPITOL
Majority Openly in Favor Of Decla-
ration of State Of War.

Washington, April 2.--Congress as
sembled at noon today for a session
generally agreed to as the most mo-
mentous in the history Of the re-
public.
President Wilson, ready with his
address, which it is believed will ask
for a declaration that state of war
already exists between the United
States and Germany, waited only for
the organization Of the house of rep
resentatives.
Congress assembled with a major
ity openly in favor of declaration
of a state of war, IL not actually a
declaration Of war.
Beset on one side with large dele
cations of pacihsts praying for peace
and besieged on the other by large
numbers of patriotic pilgrims" who
demand the country's entrance into
the war, congress waited to hear the
president outline the long history Of
German aggressions against American
lives and rights and the predatory
violence OF its submarines.
Administration officials consider
Germany has been making war on
the United States for some time. A
large majority in congress takes the
same view. The minority is divided
between those who think a state Of
armed neutrality is sufficient for the
present and the very few who openly
favor peace at any price.
War Spirit is Rampant.
The capitol was arrayed in a war
spirit as congress assembled. The
pacifst delegations, wearing white
bands on their sleeves or white
streamers across their breasts, pa.
raded the sidewalks in numbers
filled the house and senate galleries
and made calls on their congressman
They moved about without demon
stration and there were few evidences
OF hostilities against them.
The patriotic pilgrims we're hard
to distinguish among thousands o
citizens, who went about the day.

work wearing American flags. The
national colors futtered and rippled
from buildings, automobiles and al
most every point OF vantage. The
street car companies placed them on
their cars; every traffic policeman's
"go-go" sign had flag futtering from
its peak. The capitol was wave ot
color.
Chairman Simmons OF the senate
finance committee conferred with Sec
retary McAdoo on the amount oi
money needed Immediately by the
government. 1t was agreed not to
go into details until after congress
takes action defining the attitude OF
the United States, and then Secre-
taries McAdoo, Baker and Daniels
will again discuss the question with
Senator Simmons and also with house
leaders.
Senator Simmons said that he
thought the credit to be granted to
the president by congress should be
large one. The amount fixed, he
added, would not mean that all of it
was to be used or that much more
might not be asked for later.
Senator Simmons said there was no
longer doubt that war with Germany
would be declared to exist, although
the form Of the resolution had not
been determined upon.
Gardner's War Resolution.
.o.at,,t;r,, - Ja.t,r ro ,,,r hntueap
the German empire and the United
States as prepared by Representa-
tive Gardner Of Massachusetts,, re-
publican, says that war be and the
same is hereby declared between the
German empire and the United States
OF America, and that the president
is authorized and directed to use the
whole land and naval forces of the
United States against the said Ger
man empire, its subjects and depen-
denotes" .-........
The preamble sets out that "the
triumph of Germany would destroy
the liberty of the world" that "the
grandeur of the United States will
not permit its share of the burden of
war to be borne by other nations"
and that Germany has continued to
destroy American ships and to take
American lives" .
President Wilson's address was
sent to the public printer early this
morning and he held himself ready
TO deliver it as soon as the house
had been organized. Meanwhile the
president went golfing, but arranged
TO return to the White House before
noon, the hour set for the convening
of congress. He made no engage
ments for the day.
Having already recited to congress
in previous addresses most of the in
cidents leading up to the present sit
uation, it is understood that the presi-
dent now will deal with Germany's
acts broadly, refer particularly to the
present situation in the world and
deal with recommendations to place
the United States on war footing.
"War Protest Meetings."
Delegations of pacihsts held "war
protest" meetings in their respective
senator's offices.
One such delegation was rebuked
by Senator Wadsworth when one Of
several speakers said America had
been false friend" to Germany.
That's calling my country pretty
harsh name; / don't care to hear any
more of it." said Senator Wadsworth
in terminating the interview.
David Starr Jordan, chancellor of
Leland Stanford university and one
OF the leading pacihsts, made an eff
fort to see President Wilson this
morning, but the president was busy.
About 1000 of the pacafsts as
sembled on the steps Of the main
entrance at the capitol and became
