WIDESPREAD PLOT
 ID CRIPPLE WAR
 INDUSTRY FEARED
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Jan. Manifestations of a widespread plot to cripple the war activities of the United States were seen today in a series of fires in shipyards, on munitions ships, in war plants and storage buildings at various points along the Atlantic sea- board and farther inland. Nearly all of them were of distinctly suspicious origin.
 Fears that the flames may have been set by enemy aliens were given strength by the fact that they started within a few hours at widely sep- arated points almost week to a day after Edward N. Hurley, chair man of the United States shipping board declared that the government had been given authoritative warning of German plot to apply the torch to plants of all kinds, especially shipyards, which are producing inn plements of war.
 Mir. Hurley ordered the trebling of soldier and police guards at all war plants, and in some cases this pre- caution resulted in preventing even more serious losses It was an nounced from Washington today that this warning was issued because a crank letter" had not been properly investigated, but government agents in various parts of the country were inclined to believe that it was well founded Guards were again strength ened to make even more difficult the depredations of German agents. Disastrous fires started only few hours apart in shipyards at Newark, N. J., and Baltimore. The losses will aggregate $2,000,000.
 Fires were discovered on loaded munition ships at two Atlantic ports today, but they were eXtinguished before serious damage had been done.
 There were other fires of sus- picious nature in New York, Paterson, N. J., Buffalo, Maynard, Mass, and Peterboro, Canada. In every case a rigid investigation will be made either by military or municipal authorities in an effort to fix the responsibility

Yesterday Dwight B. Heard, ir commenting on the Associated Press dispatch report to the effect that the packers had secured special informa- tion from T. W. Tomlinson of the plans of the livestock men in con- ducting a thorough going investiga- tion into packing house methods, stated:
 No man has been more helpful in bringing about the present thorough investigation of the methods of the packers by the federal trades com mission than T. w. Tomlinson. He has been unremitting and most ef fectiye in his work and there can be no question of his absolute loyalty to the cause of the stocllmen and their long continued fight for free, open markets.
 Any correspondence referred to between MT. Tomlinson and Mir. Nc Manus, Swifts attorney, undoubtedly gave to MT. McManus only such in formation as could have been readily obtained from the records, and could in no sense be construed as a be- trayal of trust on Mir. Tomlinson's S part. Hundreds of T. w. Tomlin- sons friends know of his many years of proven loyalty to the best interests of the stOckmen.'

Chicago Faces isolation

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-Chicago, just recovering from the paralysis caused by two previous blizZards, tonight again faced isolation from the rest of the world as a result of the third storm within two weeks.
 The fear of famine, of coal tie-ups and milk shortage. of transportation suspension and food embargoes, which the city had twice faced and overcome, confronted Chicago for the third time.
 Unlike it's predecessors which swept over the Middle West on the wings of sub-zer gales, today's storm forecast as probably the worst yet experienced by the city, came almost unheralded.
 Gently and monotonously all through the morning and afternoon the falling driven snow effaced the work of a hundred thousand shovellers while the weather bureau held out no hope of re- lief until tomorrow. At o'clock seven inches of snow had fallen and there were no signs of abatement. The tenn perature at that hour was ten degrees above zero.
 Snow storms were general over South Dakota with sharp drops in tempera- ture Omaha, Neb., reported that the snow there har ceased but that in tense cold and high winds were ex- pected. Des Moines and Central Iowa reported an abatement of the storm | there. Cold waves were forecast for Wyoming, Colorado and eastern New Mexico.
 The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy tonight cancelled all trains to the Pa cific coast beacuse of the storm.

WAR REVIEW
 OF THE DAY
IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIre1


 Peace advocates again are insistent in the central empires, hard upon the German chancellor's new declarations of Germany's war-like purposes. A re- port is current that the Bolsheviki have decided to continue the Brest- Litovsk peace negotiations and another, quite unverified, that Austria is pre- pared to make separate peace with Russia.
 In Germany. Phillip Scheidemann, the socialist leader. in his remarks fol- lowing Chancellor von Hertling's s speech, pleaded for peace before spring.
 Regarding Russia, Scheidemann is sued warning that the military lead CTS of the imperial government would be deposed if they did not bring about peace with her.
 He insisted that there was ground for a general peace on the basis of the program laid down by President Will son in eleven points on which an agreement was easily possible. He was as uncompomising as Chancellor von Hertling however, as regards AL sace Lorraine. declaring this territory must remain German.
 Scheidemann's words comprise, per- haps, the most radical utterance that has yet come from the majority of moderate socialists in the reichstag. Foreign press comment on the speech Of Chancellor von Hertling, however, points out that there is as yet no sign of acknowledgment on the part of the German government of any responsi- bility to parliament and that to all ap- pearances the military party is still in full control.
 The Bolsheviki report an organiza . ton of cossacks from the front into a congress which has declared war on General Kaledines. driven him and his staff from their headquarters and an- nounces it's purpose of hunting hin down.
 In the military situation there have been no developments of note. Artil- lery duels at isolated points, occasiona raids and plentiful airplane reconnoi : tering are reported.

MINERS WILL ASK

 FUR LEGISLATION
Republican A. P. Leased WireJ

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 26.-The United Mine Workers of America at the final session of their biennial cOnVen- tion today decided to invoke the as sistance of the American Federation of Labor to secure congressional legisla tion to prevest court proceedings such as resulted in the decision of the Unit ed States supreme court in the Hitch man Coal company of West Virginia case.
 In the case of the Coronado Coal company of Arkansas and others who won verdict of $600,000 against the United Mine Workers as damages un- der the antitrust laws for alleged conspiracy to prevent the mining of non-union coal. the union decided to take appeal to the federaS court of appeals To do this the union has to raise $S0O,OO0 as a bond.
 As the international union has vir- tually no funds. the districts were called upon to make up the funds. llli- nois consented 10 lend the internation- al organization $345,O00; Iowa S13O,O0O; Ohio, $105,000; Western Pennsylvania, s6O,000; Oklahoma, $40,000; Indiana, Wyoming and Montana, s25,000 each; Kansas and Missouri. $10,000 each; districts 1 and of the anthracite fields, eastern Kentucky and Tenne-- see and West Virginia, 5000 each.
 It was decided to purchase Liberty bonds with this money and turn them over as collateral to the bonding con- pany that signs the appeal bond.

 That the loss of life in the bomb proofs was not greater was due to the fact that at noon about half of the usual number of employees in the three shelters had been transferred temporarily to another department.

LEADERS ONLY
 ONES TO VOTE GERMAN PLAN
Won Kuehlmann Says Elect
 Are Spiritually Devel- oped" to Lead the Masses in Forming Governments
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

AMSTERDAM, Jan 26.-Dr. Richard von Kuehlman, the German secretary for foreign affairs, speaking yesterday before the main committee of the reichstag, made a long explanation in defense of the central powers nego- tiations with the Russians at Brest- Litovsk. The general tone of the for eign secrctary's speech indicated that there had been strong criticisms from German sources, chiefly because the government had not dealt with the Bolsheviki as conquerers dictating to the conquered.
 Incidentally Ven Kuehlmann gave an interpretation of the German idea of self determination for the peoples of Poland, Courland and Lithuana. The plan is not to provide a referendum, but a decision by the representative bodies or the leaders of public opinion The significant point in this scheme is contained in the fact that the so-called representative bodies of those countries now consist of representatives mostly chosen by the German administration.
 Won Kuehlman and Count Czernin the AustrO- Hungarian foreign minister are returning to -LitOvsk for re- neWal of the negotiations with the Rus sians.
 Discussing the future of the occupied states Secretary von Kuehlmann said that so far as carrying out the right of self disposal was concerned, there was no European law or even custom.
 "The national will when national development is in it's infancy" he con- tinued' is always formed and eX- pressed by a relatively small number of spiritually developed and patriotically inspired leaders. The great masses then follow slowly. It is an undeniable fact thaN certain elements of the pOpu- lation, owing to their territorial posi- tion, education and traditions have an overwhelming influence in those countries and are entitled to speak for themselves.
 T agree with what was explained here yesterday, that the decision of a representative body, expressed on broad principles is infinitely more to the purpose than a referendum
 Dealing with newspaper criticisms of the part played by the army in the negotiations, the secretary said that political and military questions were inter-related, so that it would be i'm possible to consult headquarters by telegraph at every point.
 The chief army administration" he said, ''is a great factor in our life to- day, and it would not be wise to pass it by. The tasks which have been put upon it are tremendous. Upon their solution still depends the fate of the German empire. By the fact that rep resentatives of the chief administration of the army can only intervene in de- bates by agreement with the political leaders. responsibility for the political administration is completely secured '
