TAKE BOMB PLOTTER
HoBoKEN POLICE SEIZE GERMAN
AND INTERNAL MACHINE.
Series of Big Explosions In
This Country.

Hoboken, N. J., March with the
arrest here on Monday of Fritz Kolb,
a German reservist, the authorities ex-
pressed the belief that they had frus-
trated a well-developed plot to aid
Germany by blowing up munition
plants in this country engaged in turn
ing out contracts for the entente allies.
The police said they found in Kolb's
room two bombs, which, according to
rumors that had reached them, were
to be sent to President Wilson.
After a preliminary investigation,
however, they announced themselves
as convinced that the plans of the
alleged plotters had to do entirely
with destroying war supplies, and that
no attack on the presidents life was
contemplated.
Gan early dispatch said that Kolb
had confessed to the police that he in
tended sending the bombs to President
Wilson.)
The police also said they had come
into possession of information which
might help them in solving the Black
Tom IN. J.) explosion and the destruc-
tiOn of the Kingsland IN. J.) plant of
the Canadian Car and Foundry COM
pany, in which large munition sup
plies for the entente allies were blown
up.

BRITISH WIN STEAMER APPAM
U. S. Supreme Court Takes Ship
From Germans-Virginla Judge
Upheld.

Washington, March s. = British
claimants of the German prize ship
Appam at Newport News, Va, won
their suit in the Supreme court to re-
gain possession of the vessel and cargo.
In sustaining the British libel at
tachment suit against the Appam and
its cargo the court held on Tuesday
that the British owners are entitled to
restitution because the Appam violat-
ed American neutrality. Treaties of
1899 and 1928 between the United
States and Germany, the court held,
do not entitle German prizes, unae-
companied by the captor warship, to
indefinite American courts over the Ap-
pam was upheld.
Findings of Federal Judge Waddill
of Virginia that the Appam violated
American neutrality, after being
brought into Hampton roads a year
ago by Capt. Hans Berg and German
prize crew, were sustained and ap-
proved by the court.

SEIZE CUBAN REBEL
GENERAL @GoMEZ AND ENTIRE
STAFF TAKEN PRISONERS
AFTER BATTLE,
REBEL MAY BE EXECUTED
Commander of Government Forces op-
Grating in Province of Santa Clara
Notifies President of Vctory-News
Is Cheered by Executive and Others.

Havana, March 9.-Gen. Jose Miguel
Gomez, fomenter of the present revolu-
ton in Cuba, has been captured, to-
gether with his entire staff. With it's
leader and his chief lieutenants prison
ers the backbone of the revolution is
regarded as broken.
Official information of the capture
was conveyed in a dispatch on We'd
nesday to President Menocal from
Santa Clara. The original report ema-
mated from General Collazo and read:
Il have Jose Miguel Gomez and all
his staff prisoners" Presumably the
capture was the outcome Of the battle
reported Tuesday at Quiencuos. Gen
eral Solano is reported to have been
killed.
Speedy execution of Gomez was
predicted as the news of the capture
spread in Havana.
The announcement of the capture of
Gomez was received with cheering and
the waving Of hats by President
Menocal and the army officers gathered
at the palace. All officers, soldiers and
prominent civilians who later came to
the palace also cheered the news.
The government. troops surrounded
the rebels, he said, and attacked them.
Gomez and his entire staff were cap
tured in the running battle which fol-
lowed.
Small bodies of men broke away
from the Gomez band when the at
tack revealed overwhelming numbers
against them, and escaped.
General Gomez has been a conspicu-
Gus figure in Cuba for many years,
and, as public idol, once ranked al
most as highly as Gen. Maxine Gomez,
the commander in chief in the Cuban
rebellion against Spanish rule.
He is about sixty-five years old and
was born in the province of Santa
Clara.
After the Spanish-American war
General Gomez was elected to the
Cuban assembly. He was later elect.
ed governor Of Santa Clara. In 1905
he was elected president Of the re
public.

IMPORTANT BILLS
ARE ACTED UPON
HOUSE PASSES EMERGENCY TAX
ALTON MEAsURE-sENT TO SEN
ATE FOR CONCURRENCE.
AGRICULTURAL BILL APPROVED
Night Session Conducted To Expedite
Work-Senate Unanimously Sup
ports Bill To Separate Blue Sky and
Banking Departments.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Columbus.-Real progress toward
clearing up of really necessary busi-
ness has marked the sessions of both
branches during the last few days In
the House the emergency taxation
measure, with it's emergency clause,
was adopted with only five dissenting
votes. 1t now goes back. to the Senate,
where 1t originated, for concurrence
in amendments, and should be ready
in few days for the signature of the
Governor. The opposition was per-
functory, and, as in the Senate, Demo
cratic and Republican leaders joined
hands to steer its course.
In the Senate the big agricultural
bill by Representative John E. Bragg
was passed, and upon approval of Sen
ate amendments will be ready for the
Governors signature Display of party
strength was necessary to down hos
tile amendments.
In the House, over Republican op-
position, the Democrats passed the bill
by Representative J. J. Kilbane, of
Cuyahoga, to create a State Board of
Clemency, and arrangements were
made for furthering it's progress in the
Senate
Through the influence of the bank
ers Of the state unanimous support in
the Senate was procured for Senator
George Hollis bill to separate the
Banking and Blue Sky Departments.
II was advanced over suspension of
the rules. 1t likewise Is to be pushed
forward in the House of Representa-
tives.
The speed-up program in the House
included the recommendation by COM
mittees of the bills for a State Board
of Education and for a mansion for the
Governor With a continuation of the
program that has been begun the lead
ers believe they can work their way
through necessary legislation before
the session ends.
Night sessions we're held in both
branches and preparations made to
continue the plan on succeeding days
Supported in turn by speeches by
three of the four members of the Spe-
cial Taxation Committee, the emer-
gency tax bill encountered little oppo-
sition. A feeble attack contained in
an amendment by Representative ]. A.
Mansfield, Of jefferson, proposed an
elective land appraiser in each cleo
tion precinct in Ohio.
Analysed by the venerable Judge
Milton Clark, of Warren, who intro
duced correctional amendments, and by
Representative Frank Parrett, of Fay
cite, the bill was acknowledged to be
short Of expectations, but as good as
could be obtained. One amendment
gives power to issue certificates to
procure money for temporary pur-
poses, it being ascertained that many
counties are so poor they can not even
finance the collection of taxes.

Novel Eoo-BoiIer.

Every American household likes its
boiled eggs at breakfast, but nobody
enjoys cooking them. However, some
self-sacrifcing member of the family
must always jump up and leave his
own food to cool while, watch in hand,
he concentrates over the boiling proc
ess. Now a device has been invented
which will change all this. 1t is an
egg-shaped hot water bottle, suspend
ed over an alcohol lamp, one section
of which contains just enough alcohol
to boil an egg hard and the other just
enough to boil it soft. The eggs are
placed in an egg rack, which fits into
the kettle of hot water and the lamp
is lighted That is all that is neces-
sary. The alcohol does the rest, ac-
cording to which section of the lamp
is burning. When the eggs are done
the flame goes out.

hodcarriers. Twenty thousand men
will be called from work if this lockout

MADE $1,000
OUT Of HOGS
On His Western Canadian Farm.

It is getting to be long drawn out
story, the way that Western Canadian
farmers have made money. Many of
them a few years ago, came to the
country with little more than their
few household effects, probably team
of horses and COW or two, and suffi-
cient money to do them for a few
months, until they got a start. Hun
dreds of such can be pointed out, who
today have splendid homes, well
equipped farms, the latest machinery
and an automobile. Here is the case
Of A. E. Merriam, formerly of Devils
Lake, n. d. He didn't leave there be-
cause the land was poor, or farming
not a success, for all who know that
country are aware that it is an excel
lent country. He wanted to expand,
to take advantage of the cheap land
that Western Canada offers. And that
same story has appealed to hundreds
Of others who have had like success
with Mr.. Merriam. But his story, and
he signs it, too, is:
st came to Alberta in the Spring of
1909 from Devils Lake, North Dakota,
locating on my farm near Dalroy.
st arrived with six head of horses
and two head of cattle and about
$1,000. Since then, have increased
my live stock to seven head of horses,
four head of cattle, and about one hum
dred head of hogs, a four-roomed
house, good barn with all modern inn
provements, a feed grinder, elevator,
chopper, tanning mill, etc. I have in
creased my original capital at least
four times more since coming here
'F'rom the feeding of hogs during
the last year, had a gross return Of
$1,000.
ST first started grain farming, but
during the past four years have made
hogs my speciality, and you may see
by the foregoing statement for 1916
that have not done so badly.
"Land has increased at least twenty
per cent in value during the past few
per acre, with nominal taxes Of about
$27 quarter section yearly.
''The climate here is better than Da-
kota in that we do not have so much
dry wind; the winters are similar to
Dakota.
''As for farming in general, the grow
ing and feeding of live stock is mere
sure than the grain farming, if con-
tinued year after year, and if every
farmer follows this he will be ahead
of the grain growers in the long run.
Taking everything into consideration,
I feel satisfied with my success in
Alberta"
(Sgd) A. E. MERRIAM.
Dalroy, Alberta, JAN 18th, 1917,
There will be the greatest demand
for farm labor in Western Canada dur
ing the early spring, and, in fact, all
season until November. and the high
est wages will be paid. There is an
absolute guarantee by the Canadian
Government that those who go to
Canada for this purpose need have no
fear of conscription.-Adv

To Relieve Financial Stress.

To Relieve Financial Stress.
With the solution of the most
serious problem before the Gen.
eral Assembly, the question of fnan-
cial relief for bankrupt municipalities
and school districts, practically all
doubt as to the ability of the General
Assembly to finish it's work has been
put to rest.
The problem now concerns the will
ingness to throw aside trivial matters
to clean up the necessary legislation
during the few days that remain for
work. In making the announcement of
the agreement of leaders on the meas
ure for financial relief for the two
classes of political subdivisions, who
are in trouble because of insufficient
revenues, Gov. James M. Cox had off
his hands the matter which has given
him greatest concern since he took the
oath of Office as Chief Executive. The
solution will be expedited in two bills
that are to make their appearance
early in the week and be hurried to
final enactment.
These measures, together with a
third, which is designed to enlarge the
powers of the State Utilities Commits
sion to permit it to handle coal and
food shortage like those from which
the people have suffered during the
winter, are the only important ones to
be offered this week
The solution that has been made Of
the financial problems represents noth-
ing short of great triumph for Coy.
Cox, who has laboHed harder on this
detail of the legislative program than
on any that has been before him. In
bringing together former Gov. Judson
Harmon, leader of the movement to
keep the Smith one per cent law in
its present strength, and the Cleveland
leaders, who have been most insistent
on greater revenues, the governor has
performed what seemed to be impos.
sible a few weeks ago.
