FREDERICKTON. N. B.. Oct. 20
Werner Horn was found guilty to-day
of dynamiting the Canadian end of the
international bridge at st. Croix, n. B..
on February 2, 1910. The jury was out
thirteen minutes. Horn, who conducted
his own defense, said he was a German
officer and was acting under orders OF
the German government in war time.
Horn said he was not smenabe to
criminal law, the plea made four years
ago in the United States Court in Bos-
ton when he was convicted of trans
portation of dynamite in interstate
Deputy Sheriff Boss. OF Vanceboro,
Me-, testified Horn said German En-
bassy members gave him a nitro-gly
cerine bomb and blueprints of the
bridge and its surroundings and sent
him to blow up the structure. The at
tempt was not successful, the damage
to the bridge being slight.
In an unsworn statement to the court
Horn said that although he had violated
the neutrality of the United States by
transporting dynamite, his attempt to
blow up +he bridge on Canadian terri
tory was an act of war.

The judge in charging the jury said
he regretted that Horn was not repre-
sented by counsel, so that full pres

made
After the verdict, at which Horn ap-
peared unconcerned, he was remanded
to jail for sentence.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-One of the
purposes for which members of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
are planning to call Colonel E. NJ.
House to Washington. is to have him
explain TO the committee the reasons
for the delay in Paris in concluding
peace negotiations. and TO learn just
what commitments have been made by
the American representatives.
Senator Lodge, chairman OF the com
mittee, said to-day that Colonel House
would be asked TO explain whether
promises We're made by the American
representatives that the United States
would accept a Turkish mandate, and
also why the American delegation was
taking part in the negotiations on the
Turkish treaty.
The Senate and official Washington
have been kept in the dark regarding
the extent to which the United States
representatives at Paris have inter
jected themselves into the present sit
uaton in Paris. Charges have been
made in the Senate recently that Col
onel House himself has used Influence
to hold up final action on the Turkish
treaty and on the Adriatic question
in an effort TO force the Senate to
speed ratification Of the German
treaty. These charges, which We're

La Toilette and Thomas amendments
to the labor provisions of the league of
nations covenant. The third pending
textual change was introduced to-day
by Senator Gore. OF Oklahoma. and will
be considered before the end of the
week.
Senator Cores Amendment
The Gore amendment follows:
Amend Article XII of the Gov
enant of the league of nations by
inserting after the words they agree
in 10 case to resort to war until
three months after Tie award by the
arbitrators or the report by the
council the following language and
not then, until an advisory vote of
the people shall have been taken'"
Senator La Toilette in lengthy
speech to-day announced that he would
offer an amendment tomorrow to
strike the labor provision from the
treaty.
Senator Thomas already hss sub
mltted an amendment limiting the par
ticipation and obligations Of American
labor under the league covenant.
The Johnson substitute amendment
provoked short but bitter debate.
Senator Johnson, in calling it up, de-
clarcd that it was "designed to meet
the objections made by some Repub-
lican Senators" against his previous
amendment.
The substitute would give the United
States equal representation and equal
voting power with the entire British
Empire in the council and assembly of
the league OF nations and in the labor
organizations and conferences provided
for in the league covenant, and it
would have precluded voting by any
Of the British colonies on questions
affecting any part of the British En-
pire
Senator Kellogg, of Minnesota, of the
group of mild reservations" on the
Republican side, opposed the new
amendment on the ground that it gave
the United States no more voting
power than did the previously defeated
amendment. He said he would vote for
the Lenroot reservation on the "6 to L"
question, as he believed the reserva-
ton would take care of the question.
Senator Lenroot announced that ne
would vote for the new amendment
although he declared that it "did not
cure the evil since it still excluded
the United States from voting at all
on questions in which this country is
disputant.
Unworkable. Says Colt
Senator Colt, of Rhode Island. an
other mild reservationist," declared
that the new johnson amendment was
impractical ole and unworkable,' but
announced that he would support the
Lenroot reservation on the same sub
ject.

cized the mild reservationists'' who
had attacked the Johnson substitute
for being "the only persons in the
world who had sought to defend the

one vote of the United States
