FIVE ME HELD IS MEM PLOT OS LOWERCAUFORNA EL PASO, April 8. —Five■ persons were under arrest today and the federal grand jury had evidence which might lead to other arrests in connection with what federal of ficials said was one of the most pretentious Mexican revolutionary plots pver conceived on the border. But for the arrest by military forces in the Big Bend district of a boy and girl carrying messages to Francisco Villa, officers admit the plan for the seizure of lower California and simultaneous cam paigns against Sonora, Sinaloa and Chihuahua might have developed into serious proportions. The messages, carried by Andros R. .Villegas and Concepcion Perez, the'latter said to be a niece of Villa, furnished information which led to the arrest at Los Angeles of Colonel Pamberto Chavez, of Villa’s army, on a charge of attempting to smug gle arms into Mexico, and at Mexi cali the arrest of A. Borboa and his aide on a similar barge. Chavez is sr’d to be a colonel in Villa's army, and Borboa had in his possession a proclamation naming himself governor of lower Califor nia and naming his aide as chief of the army, i According to details of the alleged plot, the revolutionists were to cross into lower California from the Unit ed States, seize arms and ammuni tion, of which there is a big sup ply, and conduct simultaneous cam paigns against Sonora and Sinaloa while Villa launched a vigorous campign in Chihuahua to divert fed eral troops from the other two com monwealths. When the movement was to com mence was not announced and details of the plot are being kept secret pending further investigation by federal authorities of alleged viola tion of American neutrality.

' 3 ’ SHIELD (118 BRAND SHOES Sixth Congressional District Not Warming to Palmer’s Stand for Unmodified Pact BY ED H. BRADLEY (Staff Correspondent of The Journal) MACON. Ga„ April B.—With the presidential primary less than two weeks off and the Bibb county sup porters of Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer claiming an over whelming victory for their candidate, it is the almost unanimous verdict of the veterans of many a hard fought campaign that unless a political earthquake occurs, the Palmer boom will collapse like a toy balloon prick ed by a pin when the votes are count ed on April 20. Old timers in the political arena of Bibb county disagree strenuously with the assertion made in certain quarters, and by a comparatively small coterie of Palmer adherents, that the attorney general’s position on the League of Nations has won him the support of the people of Bibb county and the sixth congres sional district. "The folks In the country are up in arms against the League covenant without reservations,” said one prom inent Macon citizen who has just re turned from a business trip through more than half a dozen counties of the sixth district. "And don't let anybody tell yon that the city of Macon is in favor of swallowing the league hook, line and sinker, as the national adminis tration vzould have us do. There are men here in Macon who have always fought Hoke Smith tooth and toe nail, but in this fight they are lining up with him and will certainly cast their ballots for him April 20. They are getting out and working In his behalf. Some of the strongest Joe Brown men in Bibb county are with the senator on this' issue.” Palmer Campaign Lacks Pep The Palmer campaign in Bibb county and' the Sixth district lacks “pep.” Thus far it has been as innocuous as near, beer, according to leaders who have made a rather careful study of the situa tion. Every effort is being made by the well’s Syrup Pepsin is a combi nation of simple laxative herbs with pepsin. Among its impor tant ingredients is true Egyptian Senna, which every physician knows is especially suited to con stipation in ■women, children and old folks because of its sure yet mild action on the stomach and bowels and its freedom from griping and pain. I originally prescribed Syrup Pepsin in 1875. It has been regularly sold by druggists since 1892, and last year the American people boughtover 7 million bottles at drug sto/es. That should be proof enough of its wonderful merit in constipa tion and similar ills. Buy a bottle of your druggist, as millions do who are already convinced, but if you would rather try it first fill out the coupon below and send it to me. I will see that a free trial bottle comes to you all charges prepaid. Palmer leaders to get away from the idea that the attorney general stands for the indorsement of “every phase”- of the Wilson administration and for the ratification of the league covenant without reservation. They seem to have caught an inkling of the feeling of the great mass of the people, and their mode of operations has been materially altered in an attempt, to stem the tide of popular opinion. Senator Smith’s speech here on Tuesday night made him a host of new friends. Since he explained his position on the league and clarified the political atmosphere by his mas terly exposition of the real issue in this campaign, many influential cit izens, who heretofore have been crit ical of the senator’s actions, have come out openly in advocacy of his cause. Unquestionably, his appear ance in Macon lias worked out to his great advantage and, . according to the information being received by the leaders of his campaign, his friends are losing no opportunity to get in all the work possible between now and April 20. An effort was made here Thurs day by the Palmer supporters to make political capital out of the per sonnel of the committee appointed by Malcom Jones, president of the Ma con Bar association, to meet the at torney general when he arrives in Macon for his speech at the audi torium Thursday night. They point ed to the committee and asserted that it includes some of the most prominent and influential members of the war, at the same time claim ing that- they were appointed because they are staunch Palmer men. As a matter of fact the commit tee was appointed as a courtesy to the attoriey general as a member of the cabinet and one of the highest officials of the government. He is well-known to the' members of the Macon Bar association, and Presi dent Jones desired that he be shown every possible courtesy, entirely aside from his connection with the present political situation. More than half, yes, two-thirds, of the com mittee are supporters of Senator Hoke Smith. They are not hesitating in saying so. But they greeted the attorney general this afternoon as representatives of the Macon Bar association and not as political ad herents. Sixth District for Smith Senator Smith’s position in the Sixth district is believed to be se cure beyond per adventure. The men who have looked into th,® situation declare that the people will not vote for the ratification of the League of Nations covenant on the basis de sired by President Wilson and Attor ney General Palmer. Likewise, they will not cast their ballots for Thomas E. Watson. Thus they turn naturally and logically to Senator Smith, who represents the middle ground that appeals to a reasonable and a reasoning public. No one will claim that the battle is won so over whelmingly that the Smith support ers can sit back and take it easy until April 20. There is no attitude of cock-sureness about the senator's friends, but they do believe with full confidence that the Smith campaign is over the crest of the grade and will roll along smoothly to vitory in the coming primary. PEACE MOTION’S ADOPTION FRIDAY FORECAST IN VOTE WASHINGTON, April B.—Adoption of the Republican peace resolution tomorrow by the house was indicated today when the rule limiting debate on the measure to nine hours was adopted with some Democrats joining the Republicans in supporting it. The vote was 213 to 155. Imme diately afterwards the debate on the 1 ) resolution itself was opened. It will continue until 5 p. m. tomorrow, when a vote on the resolution is ex pected. Declaring that the war with Ger many was over and that congress should assert the fact. Chairman Campbell, of the rules committee, opened the fight for adoption of the joint resolution. The galleries were crowded at the beginning of the debate. Mr. Campbell said the people were wearied by a year and a half of life under an executive with war powers in time of peace and longed for the freedom of a government with three separate and independent branches. Passage of the resolution, he con tinued, would put the United States back on a normal basis without sac rificing or surrendering any of the rights or privileges to which it was entitled by reason of its participation in the war. He adcU?d that grave do mestic questions make the proposed action imperative. “The war is over,” he declared. “That is known by everyone. Con gress is therefore within its rights in declaring a state of war no. longer exists. Labor, industry, business and commerce are all impatient to re sume a status under the laws and conditions that pertain to peace. It is the duty of congress to withdraw from the president the powers grant ed to him for war purposes. We take no powers from him that belong to him in time of peace. He is left with the utmost freedo mto negotiate a treaty with the advice and consent of the senate, as provided in the plain terms of the constitution." New Railway Board Will Adjust Labor Disputes, Says Esch WASHINGTON, April B.—Adjust ment of railway labor disputes and other important questions is being delayed by failure of President Wil son to appoint members of the new railway board of labor appeals, and the additional members of the in terstate commerce commission, as provided by the transportation act, recently passed, Representative Esch, Wisconsin, one of the authors of the law. said today. The demand of railroad workers for increased wages totaling sl,ooi>.- 000,000 annually is awaiting .-.jjioint ment of the new board, since the breaking off of voluntary negotiations between the carriers and the em ployes a short time ago. “Congress has done everything it can to settle the vexing labor prob lems,” Mr. Esch said today. “Every thing now awaits the president’s ac tion. l a m loath to criticize the delay, because the president may be scouring the country for the best possible men to make up the labor noard, but it should be appointed as soon as ’possible.” The railway labor board is ex pected to be one of the most im portant in the government. It is to be composed of nine members, with headquarters at Chicago, as the rail road center of the country. The public, the carriers and the em ployes will be represented by three members each, all to be appointed by the president. Those representing the carriers and the employes are to be selected from lists of not less than six submitted by the railway executives and the employes’ unions.. Mr. Esch stated ,V?^ S h ave already been sent to the White House. Mohammedans and Jews Have Conflicts JERUSALEM, April 7.—Although martial law was proclaimed here on Monday and the city is under heavy patrol by British troops, scattered fights occurred between Jews and Mohammedans Monday and Tuesday in the narrow lanes of the city and outside the walls. Several persons were killed on both sides and about 250 were injured, most of them slightly. When martial law was established entrance to the city was forbidden but this rule was relaxed today and normal conditions seemed near. The city is under control of the Eighth infantry brigade of the British army. DEPORTS DENIED TBIT ALLIES SEEK TUDOPSJIEMOVAL PARIS, April 8— Reports that Great' Britain and the United States had called upon France to withdraw her troops from Frankfort are en tirely without foundation, it was an nounced in an official note issued today. It is reported from Coblenz that there has been a collison of French and German patrols between Bad Nauheim and Nieder Wollstadt, no. th of Hamburg. In the exchange, of shots a German officer was wound ed. The report is not confirmed from ©th'"- sources. FRENCH FIKE ON’S HUN MOB AT FRANKFORT FRANKFORT, April 7. — (Night. I French troops and citizens clashed here this afternoon. A number of citizens were killed and wounded. Great crowds gathered in the streets after a rumor -had been cir culated that the United States and Great Britain had demanded that France evacuate Frankfort by i> o’clock tonight. One of the incidents contributing to the fatal clash was an alleged attack-.upon a German reserve offi cer by French officers. The German oficer said he en tered the Hotel Imperial, the French headquarters, and was attacked by seven French oficers, who threw him to the floor and beat him with a whip. The French officers accused the German of passing improper re marks. Citizens began taunting tne French colonials. One patrol was over-powered and disarmed. Other French trops then charged tne crowd and for a few minutes there was severe fighting. The number of killed and wounded could not be learned definitely. Tanks, armed with machine guns, finally cleared the streets and re stored order. Rioting had appeared imminent throughout the day. Speakers har angued crowds at different points in the city and patrols were kept busy dispersing the gatherings which were in violation of General De goutte’s proclamaion. The French commander had for bidden gatherings of any kind. At one point a guard patrol arrested a number of Germane and started toward the jail with them. Crowds rushed the patrol, seized their rifles and threatened serious trouble, but additional troops arrived and rescued their comrades, whose arms were returned. \ RAILROAD STRIKE IN CHICAGO HAS BEEN EXTENDED \ CHICAGO, April B.—The strike of “.insurgent members of railroad brotherhoods” which began a week ago in Chicago, today had spread to other parts of the United States and there were indications that the series of rebellions against organi zation direction had not reached its crest. East and westbound freight move ment across the continent, already restricted by the Chicago strike, was hampered further by switchmen striking at such strategic gateways as Buffalo And Kansas City, and at such indusu-ial centers as Joliet and Decatur, 111., and Gary, Ind. Strikes were threatened today at Milwaukee, St. Louis and East St. Louis gateways, to the northwest and the southwest. Strikers predicted, also, ,that 25,000 men in northern New York would join them, cutting off freight traffic from Buffalo to New York and Boston. The Yardmen’s association, insur gent organization which called the strikes, was forming branches in nu merous terminal centers, reports in dicated. H. E. Reading, general organizer of the Yardmen’s association, an nounced that the railway clerks and freight handlers’ brotherhood would take strike votes Saturday. At Cin cinnati 1,200 freight handlers de manded an answer by Saturday mid night to their demands for an in crease in pay from 42 to 47 cents an hour. Railroad brotherhood officers who came to Chicago to assist railroad managers to break the strike, de clared reports for today would re veal traffice in Chicago yards to be at least 60 per cent normal. The strikers, however, claimed that by tonight no switch engines would be operating in the Chicago district. A bulletin that the strike was ille gal, sent out by W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Train men, was on bulletin boards of the New York Central lines today. William S. Carter, head of the firemen, and Warren S. Stone, grand chief of the engineers, joined Lee in announcing that the railroad broth erhood officers demanded that broth erhood members carry out their con tracts. Arrangements were made for a con ference today at Cleveland of the chiefs of the Brotherhoods of Rail way Trainmen, Locomotive Engineers and Locomotive Firemen. EMBARGO PLACED ON FREIGHT IN BUFFALO BUFFALO, N. Os.. April B.—An em bargo on all freight 'movement in and out of Buffalo railroad yards went into effect today and the posi tion of the striking insurgent switch men was strengthened by refusal of firemen and enginemen to work with switch tenders and yardmen outside the ranks of the strikers who have organized under the name of the Yardmen’s association. A practical suspension of business in live stock at East Buffalo and preparations to suspend operations in the blast furnaces at steel and iron plants because of the embargo on the movement of coke were among the first serious effects of the tie-up. Railroad officials said that no de mands had been submitted by the strikers but it was believed repre sentatives of the men would seek ‘a conference today. Suffragists Gaining In Delaware, Says Member of House DOVER, Del., April 8. —The senti ment in Sussex county is rapidly toward suffrage, Silas J. Warrington, one of the representa tives in the lower house of the Dela ware legislature from that section, has announced. He said that, while he had heretofore supported the antis, he nOw proposed to use his in fluence for the ratification of the amendment. Another indication of the way the wind no wis blowing was the snub, openly administered to Miss Charlotte Bowe, an anti-suf frage speaker, who had requested permissio nto speak before the Re publican county committee in George town yesterday. Permission was granted he rto speak, but when the speaker arrived every member of the county committee left the room and Miss Bow ehad no chance to deliver her address. Eamonn De Valera, who in discuss ing the question before the legisla ture, said that as an Irishman he would consider himself a renegade were he not in favor of the cause. Funeral Ship Docks With 87 U. S. Dead NEW YORK. April B.—The trans port Nansemond, first American fu neral ship from Europe, arrived here early today with the bodies of 87 soldiers who died in base hospitals in England during the war. Rela tives and friends of the dead assem bled at the dock to receive the flag draped coffins. It was planned to ship all of the bodies to their final resting places during the day. There are 800 national banks in the United States. Estimated strength of the army on March 16, 1920, was 239,223. HOT DISCUSSION MARKS HEARINGS ON COTTON WORM WASHINGTON, April B.—Hot dis cussion marked the progress of hear ings before the horticultural board today on proposals to impose a fed eral quarantine against the pink boll worm in Texas and Louisiana. Chairman Marlett and members of the Texas delegation, which included Governor Hobby and other officials, had several exchanges over the fail ure of the state and residents along the Mexican border to make effective the non-cotton zone originally estab lished against the pest. The Texans asked for permission to grow cotton in the belt this year with an agree ment to abolish cotton in it next year if the boll worm were found. “The trouble with this sort of an agreement,” Chairman Marlett said, “is that it is what we have tried before. We signed the people up to agreement in the zone that if the worm did appear they would cease growing cotton and now that it has appeared they have considered that agreement a scrap of paper and have gone ahead to plant cotton. The lure of the crop will be just as great next year as it is now.” Texas Law Changed H. W. Barkuloo and C. S. Brown, representing Texas growers in the affected zone, interrupted to say that the Texas law had been changed and that they were not obliged to keep thd contract. Ben S. Chapman, presi dent of the Texas 801 l Worm com mission, said he believed that noth ing but a non-cotton zone along the Mexican border would exterminate the weevil, but that a great injustice was done to growers within the zone, especially since the state arrange ment for indemnity had not been sat isfactorily carried out. “What’s the use of wandering around the bush?” Chairman Marlett interrupted. “The question is wheth er the state of Texas is going to meet its responsibility and do it in time. The governor can call a spe cial session of the legislature now and secure the proper legislation and appropriation. We put the matter up to Louisiana and tney didn’t wait overnight. The only question is whether the state wants to take ad vantage of an opportunity to ex terminate this pest. If Texas fails to do that the department of agricul ture will not take the responsibility. The federal government has furnish ed the money to fight the pest, has shown the method of eradicating it and has furnished the personnel. We can do no more.” Big Stick Won't Help T. O. Walton, of the Texas agri cultural extension service, declared the board could do nothing by “shak ing the big stick.” “The fact is that cotton will be matured in 1920 in the Houston dis trict,” Walton* said, “and you might as well declare your quarantine right now. I’m not speaking in the inter est of any section. The fact is that the department of agriculture has not the co-operation of the people of Texas and the only thing to do is to face the situation as it is and adopt the plan suggested by the Texas del egation.” Governor Hobby said Texas would get results just as soon as Louisiana and that the legislative members w-ere already pledged to enact the legislation for indemnity. Chaplin Is Floored in Fight With Manager Os His Former Wife LOS ANGELES, April 8. —Charlie Chaplin’s face today bore marks of a hotel lobby fight here last night with Louis Mayer, film producer and man ager of • Chaplin’s estranged wife. Mildred Harris Chaplin. “Ask Mayer and my wife, they can tell you,” was Chaplin’s statement regarding the fray. According to witnesses Chaplin met Mayer in the hotel lobby ana demanded he remove his glasses. Maver complied and Chaplin missed a swing to the jaw. After several exchanges Chaplin fell to the floor. The film comedian’s nose showed several deep scratches today. Mayer said the trouble arose over the settlement to be made with Mrs Chaplin. Mayer made the following state ment: “The whole trouble arose because, since the publication in the news papers of Chaplin’s troubles with his wife, he has been trying to intimi date her into settling with him for a small amount. He sent his man to the studio and tried to get a settle ment for a very small sum. He threatened her. I did what any man would do to protect a decent woman.” WITH FINGERS!
