WILHELM NOT INVOLVED

THE HAGUE, March 13. -- Neither the former epperor nor the crc%n prince is implicated in the overthrow or the German government, so far as can be learned here. The Associated Press was assured today by an entire ly reliable authority that both Amer ongen Castle, where the former emper- or lives. and the lslanG o- -'elringen, where the former crown prince makes his residence, are already so closely guarded that it will be absolutely un- necessary for the Dutch government to take further measures to prevent intrigue or their escape.
 It is learned however, that J. B. Kan. secretary general CT fioIIand, who is charged with guarding the for mer emperor and crown prince, IS en- gagged ill conference with the minister of justice.

Wherever detacH- ments of Noske's troops were garri- soned in greater Berlin on duty they also joined the invaders. The FL bert cabinet. after an all night ses- sion, took to flight with the appear ance of the Erchardt Mine Brigade which is assigned to patrol Wilhelm strasse. Two members of the old government however remained. Dr. Shieffer, minister of justice and Dr. Albert, under secretary of state. ana received the new government. Prior to the arrival of the invading forces the government quarter in Berlin was occupied by forces under Col. Thaysen BarDed wire entanslements were conspicuous not only there but also around the Reichstag and i'm perial palace.
 Placards were set up with the no tice. Halt. any one who goes further will be shot"
 The bridges and most impoi tsn nt street crossings were occupied by military and guards were stationed in all the roads leading to Berlin. as events proved the guards and the government military forces were not disposed to offer serious opposition to the counter revOlutionists.

nation. prepared in advance was is sued, promising the people freedom and order and dissolving the national assembly, declaring that the assem- bly's mission, which was to establish a constitution and conclude peace. had been fulfilled. The leaders of the old government have, on their part, issued an appeal to the people claiming their support against the reactionaries and calling upon them to organize gener- al strike. The late government leaders quilted Berlin at an early hour and lat CT were reported at Dresden.
 The revolution has been bloodless. The public at large was taken com pletely by surprise. Life in Berlin is proceeding today as usual. Prognusti- cation regarding the future for the mo- ment seems idle.
 Yesterday the chief interest was fi- nancial and commerclaI circIes were absorbed in the sudden and remarka- ble rise in the value of the marx.

WASHINGTON EXPECTS SHOW
 DOWN

! WASHINGTON. March E. - News Of the revolution in Germany sustained the conviction of some officials and diplomats that a test of strength between the socialists and the military and the conservative element was ine5- itable They said the military and conservative parties had used every demand of the entente for the en- forcement of the armistice and peace terms to goad the pride of the Ger man people into resistance and had not found it difficult to fasten re- sponsibility for the acceptance of these terms on the, Ebert govern ment. Signs of a change in the feel ings and attitude of the German peo- pie have not been wanting and the recent attacks by mobs in German cities upon members of the allied commission and the tenor Of recent German notes regarding the fulfil ment of peace terms have prepared entente diplomats here for some such development as came today.
 While using his public feeling to place themselves in power, inc revo- lutionists, in the opinion here, will avoid an;agonizing the allied govern ments. Knowing the deep seated aversion of the German people to a renewal of war, it is felt that should they gain permanent control they will take no steps justifying a for eible military occupation of the coun- try by the entente armies.
 Germany is flat on it's back said one diplomatic representative, refer ring to the military power. He said that while still strong in man power, the Germans lacked the raw mater ials, food supplies, ships. aircraft and railways and other material neces- sary for extensive military opera tions.
 Suggestions that the revolutionists might seek union with the Russian Bolsheviki are discounted here. Sucn a union. it is explained, would pro- yoke opposition of not only England and France, but the United States. Officials said, however that the revo- lution might indirectly play into the hands of Lenine by giving new and powerful impetus to the Spartacist movement.
 The arising of any reactiOnary re- slime against the Government of so- cial democrats, it was said, natural ly was calculated to provoke the communists and radicals to extreme action.
 This view seemed 10 De borne oui by the first move of the Ebert gov ernment. the issuing of a proclama- ton calling on the proietariat to join in a general strike With the revo- lutionists in control in B6~lin and the Elbert government set up in Dresden, some observers here regard civil strife as practically certain. or ficials said the outcome very prob ably would depend upon the loyalty of the Ebert governments troops. though it was admitted that if a eeil- eral strike took place the socialist government would be given a very powerful weapon.
 Official news of tue revolution did not reach Washington until in the day and added nothing to press dis patches. The first message was from the American legation al The Hague. and was some what garblcd and the second was from Paris

CRITICAL PERIOD
Of HIGHWAY WORK
NEXT TWO WEEKS
Action Is Necessary if Imperial
County Is to be Relieved of
$4,000 State HighWay Tax
Burden This Year.

The next two weeks, up to July IA,
are the most critical in the history Of
the state highway work in California.
Within that time $4,000 signatures
must be obtained to place upon the
ballot an initiative petition to change
the interest rate on remaining state
highway bonds to rate, which will
make them salable, and also at the
same time to relieve the counties Of
all highway bond interest after July /,
1921. Under the initiative board.
composed of the governor and other
state officers and serving without
compensation, is created that fixes the
interest to be paid from time to time
to meet market conditions, but never
to exceed 6 per cent.
This initiative is necessary if high
way work is not to stop for an inde-
finite period, resulting for all practical
purposes to writing the word "can-
celled" across the face Of the bonds.
This initiative is necessary if counties
are to be relieved Of state highway
interest burden for all time to come.
This burden for Imperial county in
1919 amounts to $40 9,929.92.
Local committees are urged to take
a lively interest in this activity which
has direct interest to every user OF
state highways and to every tax payer
in California.

partisan envy. personal hatred" in the
way Of world peace. -
The presidents stand against ire
servations designed to cut to pieces the
vital provisions of the treaty Of Ver-
sailles" were applauded. Coupled with
this declaration went the statement,
which was written after prolonged
struggle, that the party should not OPP
pose reservations making clearer or
more specific the obligations Of the
United States to our league associates.
Accompanying this was the assertion
in which the president repeatedly de-
clared that the convention had now re-
affirmed the American. obligations as
a league member. 1t must be fulfilled
in accordance with the constitution Of
the United States, embodied with which
is the fundamental requirement Of de-
claratory action by congress before
the nation may become participant in
any war.
IRISH PLANK BRIEF
The Irish plank, the center Of the
committee dispute, is brief, and q spe-
cific reference followed the general as
sertion reaffirming the principles Of
national self-determination as war
aim which victory established. That
it was merely renewed within the lim-
itations Of international comfy and
usage" was the previous expression
of the democratic sympathy to the
Irish aspirants for self government.
The leaders said they expected
long debate, despite the fact that
speakers were limited to 80 minutes
each. Hundreds are expected to sup
port the move to shorten the discussion
as they fear a deadlock in balloting,
and do not want the convention 70
run beyond tomorrow. ~
ARMENIAN PLANK
The Armenian plank also expresses
sympathy but was silent on the ques-
tion of acceptance by the United
States of the mandate over that
country for which the president asked
the authority of congress.
Among other international subjects
touched was the non-admission Of
Asiatic immigrants which was de-
clared to be as national policy "the
true expression Of the judgment Of
our people," -
The Mexican plank said that the
new Mexican government should be
recognized when it had proved It's
ability to maintain order and signihed
it's willingness to meet its interna-
tional obligations and had given tho
foreigners in Mexico their rights ~
well as their duties. this was the one
point throughout the platform on
which the committee were in full &C.
cord.
INDICTS REPUBLICANS
1t sharply indicts the republican
congress and the republican party on
many counts. The failure to enact
the tax revision measures through
"sheer political cowardice" was
charged against the republicans aud
the claims of republican economy
were branded as false.

BATTLE RACES
OVER N M'ADOO
CHANCES As
NOMINEE
Administration Forces Clash
with Anti-AdministratiOn
Forces in Efforts to Seat
and Unseat the ''CrOWn
Prince"

SAN FRANCISCO, July "A
terrific battle is now going On be-
tween the McAdOO and anti-Mc-
AdOo forces for the presidential
nomination.
The McAdoo men hold the advan-
tage by reason of the fact that they
have within their ranks all the federal
office holders, members Of the presi-
dents cabinet, and others who have
in their power the dispensing of pat
ronage to deserving party followers.
OPPONENTS ORGANIZED
They possess the further advantage
that they are thoroughly organized,
while their opponents are disorgan-
lied and seemingly unable to get to-
gether and agree upon candidate to
whom they could throw the votes
necessary to keep McAdoo from the
nomination.
The anti -McAdoo men, however, are
fighters and they are bringing to bear
every piece of heavy artillery they
can avail themselves of in the effort
to head off McAdoo before he gets
within 100 votes of the necessary two
thirds in the convention.
Hand bills against McAdoo alleging
that the senate committee now inves-
tigating campaign expenditures will
drive him out of the race within 90
days if he gets the nomination. were
even resorted to by his opponents to
spoil his chances for the nomination.
OTHER STORIES CIRCULATED
A tale that he had recently paid
$250,000 for bit Of property on Long
Island was raked up in an effort to
show that he was not such a poor
man after all, and that he was on
the contrary, climbing into the mil
lionaire class, was spread around
among the delegates where it might
do the most good
There was much repetition, also, of
the "crown prince" and "son-in-law"
talk and in some quarters is accom-
plished good deal, as voters were led
to declare themselves in favor of a
new deal at the White House and an
ending of the Wilson family's regime.
The anti -McAdoo men held a con-
ference which lasted long after mid
night.

After Merry Time in Justice
Court Justice Mayfeld Frees
Defendants Although Negro
TeStifieS as to Dice.

In Justice of the Peace Mayield's s
court this morning Harry Allen and
Roy Miller were being tried for vag-
rancy. Deputy Sheriff Sam Griffin
had found two pair of dice on Allen
when he had searched him, one crooked
pair and one straight pair, and these
were being introduced in evidence.
Attorney H. E. Ellison for the de-
PENDANTS objected on the grounds that
there was no one there who was an eff
ficient judge of whether dice are
straight or crooked.
Don c. Bitter. deputy district attor-
ney, then began looking around TO,
some one who could swear the dice
were crooked. All bystanders dis
claimed any knowledge of dice. His eye
lit on Harry, the colored janitor of the
court house and Harry gladly testified
that the dice were crooked, but this
seemed to have no influence on the
judge as the two men were freed OF
the charge.
