Chancellor Scheidemann first paid
tribute to the late Herr Esner, who
had been the Chancellor's friend for
twenty-five years, Herr Scheidemann
said, and had the same goal in view
as did the speaker, although the two
men travelled different road toward

was possibility that Minister Auer

The members of the Assembly and

Mack Sees Wilson
AS a Third Term
Candidate i'm 1920
Problems Left by the War
Still Will Be Unsettled,
and No One Else Will
Be Available, He Asserts

Norman Z. Mack, of Buffalo, New
York member of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee and chairman of the
committee in the last Bryan campaign,
says from present indications Presi-
dent Wilson will be renominated by
the Democrats in 1920.
Mr.. Mack is on his way to Washing
ton to attend the meeting Of the Ma
tional Committee on February 26, when
it is understood, Vice Chairman Homer
S. Cummings wilt succeed Chairman
Vance C. Mccormick.
"From present indications it looks
like President Wilson will be a candi-
date to succeed himself in 1920" said
Mr.. Mack. 81 do not know that he
has any desire to continue. I do not
wish to appear as booming him. for
am not doing so. 7 am merely discuss
ing the trend of things political in the
Democratic party as Influenced by the
war and reconstruction.
"The President now is in the midst
of great task-that of bringing to
pass the dream of students and philoso-
piers for decades reorganization of a
league of nations to keep peace among
the great powers. The subject is sure
to engage the attention of statesmen
and thinkers for long time. By the
end of another year it doubtless still
will be a great problem. I don't see
how there can be any other candidate
than the President himself. 1t seems
to me the war and reconstruction will
cone pretty near eliminating the third
term issue, and the Democrats will feel
that in order to win they will have
to renominate their champion.
quite naturally the Democrats are
on the defensive. Grievances accumu-
late. Mistakes are made. Doubtless
the voters will say we have made
many mistakes, and many voters who
were with US in 1916 will be against
us in 1920. If we cannot win with
President Wilson, I don't know now
how we could win at all"

The police continue work on the case

to see him at his lodging house on

weeks.
His visits attracted the attention of
the landlord, as Coffin never had any
visitors. The landlord has been able
to give description of him, which is
thought to correspond with that of a
friend Of Cottin's known as "Mchael,"
who is alleged to have anarchstic lean

where Coffin got the trench pistol with
which he fired upon the Premier.
The "Matin" says the search of

with the Coffin case.
Premier Clemenceau sent word to

Firing in Munich
Streets and WOrkmen
Are LOOting Stores

LONDON. Feb. 22.-The troubles in
Munich took still moro serious turn
yesterday afternoon, according to a
Copenhagen dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph Company. Church bells be-
gan ringing, 10000 workmen from the
suburbs marched into the centre of
the city andl short time later vio-
lent firing was heard, it is said. The
mob is reported to have begun plumber
ing shops.
The dispatch characterizes the con-
ditions now prevailing in Munich as
virtually those of civil war.
Hundreds of civilians started to fee
from Munich, the Exchange Telegraph
correspondent adds, but this movement
was stopped when the Spartacans occu-
pied the railway terminus.
Dictatorship Is Likely
The reports received from this
source state that the dictatorship of
the workmen will be proclaimed and
Eisner and the wounding of Minister
of the Interior Auer will be avenged
in a most frightful manner.
The advices state that Herr Ross
happier the Minister of War, was not
killed (as reports from Weimar had
stated, but was wounded during the
shooting II the Diet, and afterward ar
rested by the Spartacans.
Prince Joachim, youngest son of for
mer Emperor William, is said, contrary
TO previous reports, to be still in
Munich.
The attempted assassination of Herr
Auer is interpreted as an act of re-
venge for the killing of Premier Els
ner, according to advices from various
German sources. The men were bitter
opponents.
Auer, a Majority Socialist minister,
had been looked upon as a man likely
TO displace Herr Eisner as Premier.
The latter was the idol of the ultra
radicals, was stanch defender of the
Soldiers and Workmen's Council and
was incorporating for the National
Assembly
Diet Adjournment Forced
The political situation in Munich has
been drifting rapidly to the point of
an explosion and the ultra-radicals
who compromise the Independent So
calists and the Spartacans, are sus-
pected of uniting in final desperate
attempt to save their political control
The immediate adjournment of the
Bavarian Diet after the shooting was
due to the fear that the holding OF
further sessions would aggravate the
situation.
According to an Evening News" dis
patch from Berlin, Deputy Oesel, who
IS a Catholic economist, was killed in.
