NATION-WIDE HUNT
ON FOR PLOTTERS
Plan to Poison Meat for Army
Bared by Agents, Who Are
Rounding Up Germans.
INCENDIARY ACTS CHECKED
Operatives In Chicago Arrest 50
Enemy Agents and- Thereby Nip
Movement to Damage and
Destroy Property.
CHICAGO, April 8. (Special.) A
strenuous effort to round up German
secret agen'.s will be mado at once by
a small army of secret service men,
other special employes co-operating
with state, city and county officials
throughout the Union.
The arrest Friday nlgrht of persons
known to have been plotting against
the United States or to have been vio
lating neutrality laws was but the be
ginning of a concerted movement to
capture those guilty of treason before
they could do more harm.
Two Women Are Held.
More than 50 men anl two women
have been taken into custody In Chi
cago within the last few days. Some
have been under surveillance for weels
and announcement of their arrest is
held in cbcyance until their confeder
ates are caught.
Operatives working under Hlnton G.
Clabaugh, head of the local bureau of
investigation of the Department of Jus
tice, have obtained evidence of plans
to destroy property, to endanger life
by a nefarious scheme to distribute dis
ease germs and to poison meat at the
stockyard s.
Some of the meat which was to have
been infected was for the use of the
United States Army. A dozen persons
have been involved In plots to burn
buildings and bridges. Locations of the
places to be attacked are said to have
been discovered in .a raid on an out
lying apartment In which fire bombs
operated by ingenious clockwork at
tachments and materials to create fires
were seized.
Investigator Keeps Counsel.
Regarding the extraordinary activi
ties of his large force of agents, Mr.
Clabaugh will say nothing. The only
arrest which has become public is that
Friday night of Gustav H. Jacobsen, a
real estate operator known to be the
personal representative of Herr Ballin,
director general of the Hamburg-American
line and a friend of the Kaiser.
The activities' of the local office of the
Hamburg-American line, which has no
business in this country now, have had
the attention of the Government for
many months.
ments and that a consumption tax be
placed on sugar, tea and coffe have
been made In both branches of Cong
ress and it appears likely that these
will be considered. ,
Officials In charge of the financial
programme found themselves the cen
ter of a country-wide bombardment to
day of telegrams and letters of ap
proval. From every section came as
surances of support. Offers of co-operation
were received from individual
corporations, firms and banks.
Many Banks Offer Aid.
Many of the latter offer to place at
the disposal of the proper authorities
all means within their power for dis
tributing and aiding in the sale of the
bonds.
Expecting the usual variance of opin
ion generally manifested with the an
nouncement of any proposed financial
legislation, officials were stirred by
the unanimity of the approval and the
unmistakeable note of patriotic sup
port in the great volume of communi
cations received. They expressed their
satisfaction with predictions that when
the big bond issue is offered for sale
the response of the Nation will be
such as the world has never seen be
fore. ADVERTISING MEN" OFFER AID
PJan to Raise $5,000,000,000 In
r
Old Glory Week Suggested,
CHICAGO. April 8. The National Ad
vertising advisory board at a meeting
tonight sent a telegram to Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo suggesting a
plan for the raising of $5,000,000,000 for
the Government In one week, to be
known as Old Glory week. The tele
gram asserted that the loan could be
subscribed through the advertisers
plan at a saving of $25,000,000 a year
for the term of the loan oy making the
Interest rate 3 per cent. The telegram
read :
"Every advertising and other club,
church, lodge, labor organization, manu
facturers' and agricultural association,
as well as Chamber of Commerce will
be called upon to make this the great
est patriotic demonstration for the sup
port of the United States Government.
"At five days' notice we will deliver
actual advertisement and complete plan
for the successful handling of this Old
Glory lean In connectlonwlth Old Glory
week. Our board gives Its services to
the Nation cheerfully without compensation."

on the surface lines also have been ap

there for. five months. They arrested

House, the Administration's imme
diate financial programme.
Recalling Mr. Kitchin's opposition
to the war resolution, members of the
committee are prepared, however, to
relieve him of this duty, should he
personally oppose the plan. In that
event it probably would devolve upon
Representative Rainey, ranking ma
jority member of the committee, or
Representative Hull, of Tennessee, to
carry through the programme.
Ample Support Indicated.
Chairman Simmons and his col
leagues of the Senate finance committee
have been in frequent conference with
Secretary McAdoo during the past few
days with reference to the programme.
Indications are that the Administra
tion's financial programme will meet
with overwhelming support in both
Houses and that the proposed bond
Issue will be authorized without loss
of time.
Considerable more time. It Is thought,
will be consumed in the passage of the
war revenue measure to follow. Sen
timent in Congress, apparently crystal
lized in support of the programme of
advancing an enormous loan to the al
lies, varies greatly as to the methods
to be pursued in raising revenue
through taxation.
In general terms, it seems certain
that the bulk of the additional revenue
will be raised through revision of the
income and excess profits tax laws.
It is also likely that the tax on whisky,
beer and tobacco will be raised.
Income Tax Is Uncertain.
As to what outlines the income tax
law will assume upon emerging from
the committee, one man's guess, an of
ficial .said tonight, is as good as an
other's. There appears to be a gen
eral sentiment for lowering the pres
ent exemption and raising the rates
heavily on large incomes. A gradu
ated scale may be adopted in revising
the excess profits tax law.
Suggestions that part of the war
revenue be raised by the imposition of
stamp taxes on checks and other docn-

Pronouncement, Declares Soldiers
"Knights of Holy Grail."
EUGENE, Or., April 8. (Special.)
The Central Presbyterian Church In
Eugene at its Easter services -today
consecrated five of its members to the
service of their "king and country."
The congregation stood with hands
raised to their temples la silent salute,
pledging allegiance to the cause of
right in a war which Rev. William
Moll Case, the pastor, before adminis
tering the bans of the church to the
young men who have enrolled in the
United States Army, or Oregon Na
tional Guard, declared is "A War of
Christ Against Anti-Christ: a War of
the Cross of the Christ Against the
Iron Cross."
The call of the country, he declared,
was a call to the Knights of the Holy
Grail.
"On behalf of my country, I offer
the choice our flock; the first of our
flock," he said in consecrating the
young recruits to the cause of Christ
and giving them the blessing of the
church. "You are ready; In God's name
we send you forth."
"The President of our country has
been guided by the voice of the peo
ple and the voice of the people is the
voice of God,", he said.
"The President has released tor God
the energies of a new world."
The pastor in addressing the young
men said they were going forth to re
deem the blot on the county's and
state's escutcheon.
After the service had closed, he ex
plained this statement by saying that
he referred to the conduct of Senator
Lane In the United States Senate.
The young men confirmed as
"Knights pf the Holy Grail" were:
George Moorehouse, Third Company,
United States Coast Axtillery, Fort
Stevens; Bartlet Gray, Third Company,
Coast Artillery Corps, Oregon National
Guard; Willis Kays, Guy Koeppe and
Louis Bond, Second Company, Coast

It is good for the soul to slip Into
the Baker Theater this week and sit
back In the shadow if your pride is
sensitive so that no one can see the
tears trickle down your nose nor ob
serve the surreptitious dabs of your
handkerchief, and to live over again
the home drama or "Little Women,"
with the Alcazar players, whose week
in this play began last night.
There are none of the mechanics of
dramatic effect that belong in the up-to-the-half-second
play of modern llfel
there is none of the masterly psycho
logical analysis and exposition that be
longs to another type of play, which
the modern authority on things theat
rical loves to revel in.
Out of the past, the dear, sane, gen
uine past, the story of life and love
in the American home' as the American
home ought to be, comes "sweet and
still and sudden as a bird swings in
the rain."
Simple Appeal Brings Response.
It may, be after all. an indication
that the average of American people
haven't gone so far astray after new
and strange gods as some savants
would have us believe, when, one finds
them responding naturally and simply
to the appeal of the little story.
It isn't worth while 'here to review
the story of "Little Women." The Amer
ican of mature years who doesn't
remember "Little Women" as one of
the books that laid a strong and tender
Influence across youthful years must
be indeed far gone in iniquity.
It is an unqualified pleasure, how
ever, to have Meg and Joe and Beth
and Amy and the crochety Aunt
March and beaming Professor
Baehr, and all the charming souls
who peopled the little house of the
story come walking out to one in the
flesh. And the Alcazar players have
brought the tale of "Little Women" to
life with Infinitely delicate artistry.
Hole Are Well Interpreted.
Aline MacDermott, as the tempestu
ous Jo; Lora Rogers and George R.
Taylor, as Mr. and Mrs. March oh,
there isn't any use in trying to lay
the superlative touch of applause on
any one of the whole group, from
Mr. March to Hannah Mullett, for
each one seems to have glided into his
or her part with the complete un
derstanding that makes the whole pic
ture immensely real and touching.
So one is privileged to cuddle back
in one's seat and give way utterly to
the charm of the little play, while a
lump that is pleasantly painful forms
in the throat, and .presently, after a
shame-faced sniffle or two, the big,
glorious, sympathetic teardrops begin
to course majestically down one's
nose, and one forgets to watch the
hankies or listen to the Joyful snif
fles of the rest of the audience and
permits himself to drift utterly into
the gentle current of the narrative.
And, furthermore, anyone who can sit
through "Little Women" dry-eyed or
without feeling a much tenderer spot
in his heart than he did before well,
he's a hopeless case, and really ought
to be interred or sentrto the trenches
at once. He . Just naturally "ain't

officiated.
"The Greatest Triumph-of the Ages"
was the theme of Dr. Dyott's' sermon.
He spoke of the founding of the Knights
Templar and of their pilgrimages to
the hold land in the middle ages.
"But." he said, "being loyal servants
of God Is the duty which you have al
ways performed, and now there is an
other mission before you that of help
ing to kindle the fires of patriotism
and love of country and keeping the
flames of fervor alive.
"Stand together, not so much to fight
a country, but that which would in time
kill Germany Itself 'Imperialism.' It
is something to be willing to sacrifice
for the cause. We must all do some
thing to preserve that which we hold
so dear. We may be called upon to
give even life; if so, let us be willing."
The services for Washington Com

American officials continue to watch

the worst that may be expected from
that quarter is a declaration of neu

Investigation by officers of the
American Army showed that the re

As a result of the request that Gov

are being investigated.
Although some reports have Indi
cated that German spies are employes
in the Government service, so far there
have been no arrests. Department of
