WASHINGTON. Feb. it— President Wilson told peace advocates who called on him today to proteat against the steps he proposed tn dealing with Ger many. that the country was faced by a momentous problem In the present ait nation; that he always had been for peace and would do everyth :r.g within bis power to maintain it The president received their sugges . tioaa sympatheticaily. members of the delegation said. but told them the coun try must realize the magnitude of th< question Michigan's entire Republican congres sional delegation voted today to support the armed neutrality bill, not to obstruct defense legislation and to co-operate in every way with President Wilson in the teCaraaUoaal crisis. The delegation had been called together by Senator William Alden Smith. (By AaexUxed Pimm.) WASHINGTON. Feb. 21. — Four Amer ican consuls are being detained in Ger many, while the Berlin government awaits official advices that all German B consuls In thio country, ordered to Cen tral and South America, have been per mitted to proceed The German government's action is baaed on circumstances which, through no concern of the United States, de tained Consul Mueller at Havana, Cuba, while he was on his way from Atlanta ■ to Quito. Ecuador. That the German government has been urtataformed regarding Consul Mueller and other German consuls formerly sta tioned in the United States is certain. The departure of none has been hindered by this government. Mueller was forced to remain In Havana because of tempor ary lack of transportation and failure to receive passports from the Ecua | ' • dorean government. He left Havana for his new post several days ago. ■ Xt has been officially ewtablidhed that b* » the American sailing schooner Lyman M. law was not sunk by an Austro-Hunga rian submarine. The situation in congress fell in to tangle again today and the prospects that there would be an extra session were stronger than they were last night. The house foreign affairs committee reported the bill to empower the presi dent to protect American rights against the German submarine menace, but with changes which are unwelcome to the ad ministration As reported by the house committee the bill would read: “The president of the United States be. and is hereby, authorized and em powered to supply merchant ships, the property of citizens of the United stakes and bearing registry of the L. Chritad States, with defensive arms, and also with the necessary ammuni tion and means of making use of them In defense against unlawful attack: and that he be. and is hereby, authorized aad amplowered to protect such ships and the citizens of the United States against unlawful alack while in their lawful and peaceful pursuits on the high seas " This eliminates the provision which would have empowered the president to “ Anrploy such other instrumentalities > and methods as may in his judgment •and discretion seem necessary and ade * quate.** • * . No record of the committee was kept but Ove committeemen* an nounced they would file minority re ports, one being Huddleston, Democrat, of Alabama. Chairman Flood win report the bill io the bouse tomorrow and endeavor to secure a rule during the day for its consideration | x * The bill reported yesterday by the sen ate foreign relations committee is prac tically agreeable to the president. The two meaurez, however, may reconcil ed in some way. although the president Alias given noltee that he expects no ma- ■ tsrial changes. K The senate will take no action on |p the armed neutrality bill until the house V has passed the measure. It wa< prac ■ tically assured today, when Senator ■ Stone, chairman of the foreign relation.? B committee, and Representative Mann V held a conference Mr. Mann declared ’ the senate could not act on a bill pro viding for an issue of bonds until It had been passed by the house. - Prospects of a Republican filibuster loomed up again in the senate. Senators who today began to Insis’ upon “free and full" discussion of all in ns rrui u 7 openly assert thdi the reason for their course is to force an extra ses sion of congress ATTITUDE OF REPUBLICANS. The major part of the Repoolican op position apparently does not lie against the bill to grant the president brood powers to deal with the submarine sit uation. although there are probably a half dozen senators on the minority side .

Hathcock Following Testi- j mony of Paymaster W. Jerome Yarter, ex-policeman, was bound over under $5,000 bond to the su- i perior court Wednesday morning on the charge of committing the Boykin rob bers* for which W. W. “Boots” Rogers was last week put on trial. Yarter's preliminary hearing Wednes day before Judge T. O, Hathcock in the i municipal court, developed a sensation when A O. Boykin, paymaster of the Martel Manufacturing company, and the man who was robbed December 2 on Lang avenue, testified that both men committed the crime. Yarter, declared Mr. Boykin, held a ■ gun in his face and told him to throw | up his hands, while "Boots" Rogers j cracked him over the head with a billy , and took away the satchel containing the. money. He was positive in his identifica tion of both men. With this testimony, the case now resolves itself into a peculiar tangle. , Rogers, whose arraignment resulted In a mistrial, declared he heard Yarter confess the robbery to Mrs. Viola Tyler, when Jie, with City Detective aPt Camp -1 bell and John Starnes, listened to them I talk through a dictograph installed in the next room at Mrs. Tyler’s home, 45 East • Mitchell street. Yarter, through his attorney, Harvey Hill, denies all knowl edge either of the robbery or the alleged . dictograph episode. And now Paymaster Boykin accuses both men of the rob- It had been supposed that if Mr. Boy kin identified Yarter as the holdup man, this identification would clear Rogers of | the charge. Instead, while the paymas ter's testimony implicates Yarter as i deeply as it does Rogers, he was so pos itive in repeating his identification of Rogers, that the pair of them must now answer to the charge on which theyl have hitherto been separately arraigned. The municipal court was crowded Wednesday morning when Yarter was tried. He was there wtih his wife and his little baby and his attorney, Harvey Hip; Boots Rogers with his attorney. Governor-elect Hugh Dorsey; Mrs. Viola Tyler and Harry Young, the tabicab driver who was alleged to have been in the room with her and Yarter when Rogers said he overheard Yarter con fess the crime; Paymaster Boykin and Paymaster Black; A H. Baldwin, there with his attorney, John S. Highsmith, to answer to a warrant accusing him of ' robbery; Jack Ogan, who is out on bond in connection wtih a charge implicat ing him in the Boykin robbery; and scores of witnesses, including Detec tives Starnes and Campbell and Mrs. Ada Bell, a woman who lives near the Armour plant, and who, detectives as serted, would identify Yarter as the man who held up Paymaster Black. The first case called was that of W. H. Baldwin, but it was dismissed when Solicitor General John A Boykin an nounced to the court that the only evi dence against Baldwin was hearsay. It was not even stated what specific alle gations were cotnained in the blanket charge against him. opposed to it either in principle or be cause they regarded it as too sweeping tn character. Senator Watson, Republican of In diana, who was prominent in engineer ing the filibuster against the revenue bill, said today that many Republicans would not oppose granting the president merely the power to arm merchant ships and provide funds for that ppurpose, but were decidedly averse to authorizing him to use "other instrumentalities." These senators feel that congress should be in session if such powers are granted. Senators and repreeen tat Ives to day pondered bills which will determine largely the future course of the United States in its re lation toward Germany, daily becoming more serious. Every indication was that their action would be deliberate, evgn in the fhce of the latest clear cut viola tion of American rights in the sinking of the Cunard liner Laconia, with the loss of two or more American lives. NO DOUBT REMAINING. No doubt now remains in the minds of state department officials that the sud den night attack on the Laconia em bodies an open defiance of the principles for which the United States government has contended, but it was stated no ad ditional step would be taken pending ' action by congress to grant President ■ Wilson the authority he asks. .

TEN «■ DIE WHEN THE LfICDNIA IS SUNK 81 HOU Mrs. Hoy and Daughter, Amer icans, Die in Life Boat of La conia-Eight American Ne gro Seamen Die of Exposure /77 7 Laconia Victim’s Son Offers to Serve U. S. Against “Assassins” (By Associated Press.) . WASHINGTON. Feb. 28.—Presi dent Wilson has received the fol lowing cablegram from Austin Y. Hoy, whose mother and sister were lost when the Laconia was torpe doed without warning by a German submarine: “I am an American citizen repre senting the Sullivan Machinery com pany of Chicago, living abroad, not as an expatriate, but for the promo tion of American trade. I love the flag, believing in its significance. My beloved mother and sister, pas sengers on the Laconia, have been foully murdered on the high seas. "As an American citizen outraged and as such fully within my rights and as an American son and brother bereaved, I call upon my government to preserve its citizens’ self-respect and save others of my countrymen from such deep grief as 1 now feel. I am of military age, able to fight. If my country can use me against these brutal assassins I am at its call. If it stultifies my manhood and my nation’s by remaining passive under outrage I shall seek a man’s chance under another flag.” N —. / (By Associated Press.) LONDON, Feb. 27. —A Queenstown dispatch to the Daily Mail says that it is certain that Mrs. Hoy and her daugh ter, American passengers on the La conia. have lost their lives. United States Consul Frost at Queens town has telegraphed the American em bassy here that Mrs. Hoy and her daughter, American passengers on the Laconia, died of exposure and that their bodies were buried at sea. Eight American negroes, members of the crew of the Laconia, died of ex posure, according to a Central News dispatch from Queenstown. A later telegram from Consul Frost gave the total number landed from the Laconia as 231, out of 294 on board. Os the thirteen lost, five were drowned and eight died from exposure, and were buried at sea. Six persons are ih hos pitals at Queenstown, the telegram said. Their condition is not serious. Consul Frost’s message read; "Mrs. Mary Hoy and Miss Elizabeth Hoy, passengers on the Laconia, died from exposure. Their bodies were bur ied at sea.” Mrs. Hoy’s husband. Dr. Albert H. Hoy, who is a civil war veteran, and her, son, Austin Y. Hoy, reside in Lon don. The latter called at the embassy this morning and a copy of the message from Consul Frost. As tar tse the embassy knows these two were the only Americans lost on the Laconia. The embassy's list of American survivors is as follows: F. P. Gibbons, Chicago Tribune; Mrs. F. F. Harris, wife of Colonel Harris, U. S. A.; A. T. Kirby, New York, and the Rev. Joseph Waring, Baltimore. A Queenstown dispatch to the Chron icle says that the Laconia was torpe doed in comparatively calm weather. The first torpedo struck near the stern and when the vessel was struck a sec ond time she listed quickly to starboard. The boats got away with considerable difficulty, but there was no panic among the passengers or crew. The smallness of the loss of life was due to the excel lent discipline of the crew and the order liness of the passengers. A steamer brought survivors to Queenstown early on Tuesday who were rescued from eight hours. The pas sengers’ versions of the number lost differ. Some say twenty-five were drowned and others not more than ten. Among those known to be lost afe Mrs. Ad Miss Hoy, Americans. Four Ameri cans are among the survivors, one ot whom is the Rev. Joseph Waring, of Baltimore, who was completely exhaust ed when brought ashore. Apparently two small parties of the Laconia's survivors apart from the main body, have been landed, fifteen at Ban try and about the same number else where. The steamer which rsened the bulk of those aboard the Cunarder car ried also the survivors of the sunken British steamer Falcon and fourteen members of the cfew of another lost British vessel. . According to stories gathered from passengers from the Laconia who en tered Queenstown, the steamship was torpedoed at about 10:30 o’clock Sunday night. The passengers and crew had taken to the boats when the second torpedo was fired into the sinking vessel. The boats were picked up at 4 o’clock on Monday morning. Many of the sur vivors wore only the scantiest clothing. The number of dead or missing was given by the Cunard company this after noon as twelve, made up as fallows: Passengers—Three dead, three miss ing. Crew —Six missing. Six others in hospital.

TELLS HOW WOMEN OF TORPEDOED SHIP DIED OF EXPOSURE —— Minister Gives Account of Death of Aged Mrs. Hoy, Her Daughter and Others Who Perished in Laconia Lifeboat (By Associated Presa.) LIVERPOOL. Feb. 28.—The Rev. F. Dunstan Sargent, of Grenada, British West Indies, a passenger on the Laco nia, who administered the last rites of the Roman Catholic church, to seven vic time, gave to tiie Associated Press today' the following account of the death of Mrs. Mary Hoy and Miss Elizabeth Hoy, I of Chicago, and Cedric P. Ivatt, of Lon- | don: "Mrs. Hoy died in the arms of her I daughter. Her body slipped off into the, sea out of her daughter’s weakened arms, i The heart-broken daughter succumbed a few minutes afterward and her body fell j over the side of the boat as we were* tossed by the huge waves. "In icy water up to her knees for two ‘ hours, the daughter all the time bravely ■ supported her aged mother, uttering words of encouragement to her. From the start both were violently sea sick which, coupled with the cold and expos ure, gradually wore down their courage. They were brave women.’’ Father Sargent continued: ‘The first to die in our boat was W. Irvine Robin son, of Toronto. After his body had been consigned to the sea we tossed about for an hour, getting more and more water until the gunwales were almost level with the sex Then Mr. Ivatt, who was not physically strong, succumbed in the arms of his fiancee, who was close be side him, trying In vain to keep him warm by throwing her wealth of hair about his neck. “Even after he aied she refused to give him up, and although the additional j weight made the situation more danger- \ ous for us all we yielded to her pitiful; pleading and allowed her to keep the body. It was t,aken aboard the rescuing patrol, from which it was buried. The burial aboard ths patrol, at which I of ficated, was a solemn and memorable cer emony. “The Hoys were next to pass away after Mr. Ivatt. • Then a fireman died and later two others of the crew who were'too thinly clad to resist exposure. Altogether, we were in the boat ten hours. We were rescued in the middle of the morning.” Father Sargent said his boat was bad ly damaged in launching and began to leak. At the start their boat had three feet of water, which increased steadily. Twelve Men Arrested Following Assassination i Os Sheriff W. B.

WASHINGTON, D. C„ Feb. 28.—Pas sage of the additional judgeship bill through the house has been deferred until after the prohibition legislation for the District of Columbia has been enacted. The special rule for considera tion of the judgeship bill was defeated today by a combination of prohibition advocates who feared that the "wets” were intent upon using the judgeship bill as a means of defeating prohibition for the national capitol. Representative Webb, chairman of the judiciary committee, sponsor of the judgeship measure, and other members of the judiciary committee approved the defeat of the rule on the strength of airtight assurances from the rules com mittee that another special rule for con sideration of the judgeship leglslition would be reported as soon as the dis trict prohibition bill has been passed.

This Simple Laxative A Household Necessity Dr. Caldwell*s Syrup Pep sin Should Have a Place in Every Home. Constipation, or inaction of the bowels, a condition that nearly everyone experi ences with more or less frequency, is the direct cause of much disease. When the bowels become clogged with refuse from the stomach, foul gases and poisons are generated, and unless the congestion is quickly relieved the system becomes weakened and most susceptible to attack. Various remedies to relieve constipa tion are prescribed, but many of these contain cathartic or purgative agents that are harsh and violent in their action and shock the system. The most effective remedy is the combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that is sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Cald well’s Syrup Pepsin. The Hon. John D. Keister, of Brandy wine, W. Va., who has represented his district in the state legislature for six years, wrltds that he uses Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and finds it a splendid laxative, easy to take and mild, yet posi tive in its action, and that it should be in every household for use when needed. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists in all parts of the United States and costs only fifty cents a bottle. It contains no or narcotic drug, does not gripe, and is recommended as / "/ / rc* l Heavy Bessemer Steel Safety Document Box Absolutely Free We consider this Safety Box one of the most useful and valuable premiums we have ever offered to our subscribers.
