At first the authorities considered this as conclusive evidence that - the dead chauffeur has been a medium of bringing men and women together, taking them to. meeting places and otherwise acting as an underground agent. They are not yet convinced that this supposition is far fetched al- though several of the women named have been interviewed, expressed themselves shocked at being ' even mentioned and emphatically denied knowing Taft, personally or by sight. One of the women named lives in New Britain, local detectives admit- ted today, a widow of middle age, in moderate circumstances and consid- ered highly respectable by even in- timate acquaintances.

Chief of Police William J, Rawl- ings is of the opinion that mere rob- bery was not the primary motive.

Segator Favors “Directing” Presxdent to Arm Ships MUST WE LIE AND CURL UP? Upper Chamber Re-hears Red-Hot War Talk From Nutmmeg State Del- egate—Predicts anhm to Meet It. 'Washington, March 3.—When de< bate was resumed in the senate today on the armed ships bill, Senator Hitcheock, to perfect the bill's parlia- mentary lutna, had the senate with- draw two slight amendménts, substi- tuted after the enacting clause for the house text. ,One amendment eliminates the provision for arming. merchantmen “fore and aft” thus re- moving specific direction as to arm- ameént. The. other prevents United' States protection for foreign whips. Senator Brandegee, . republican of| Connecticut, called ‘the.German pro- ‘hibited zone “an ambush where Ger- many laid in‘ wait to deal death” to, ‘any one who entered ‘agaifist her edict creating it. “Shall we sit supinely and a.llnrw the ukase of a' foreign potentate to clear the ocean of American shipping :.nd blockade our ports?” he asked. ‘Atre we obliged to wait fur .the slaughter to be accomplished before We defend, ourselves?

Zim- merman declares Germany's intention to ‘resume unrestricted submarine warfare, the kind that _sunk the Lusitania, the kind that Germany, had agreed to abandon. “Germany suspended this warfare while she was rebuilding submarines. Then came announcement of her in- tention not only to resume this as- sassination, already carried into ef- fect, but her intention to also to ar- ray every -nation against us that cbuld get at.the United States in case we attempted to defend ourselves against these assassins.

The effect will be that the next passenger or freight ship with Ameri- can gunners, aboard which attempts to enter a British or neutral port in the zone will be attacked by a Ger- man submarine. That means that there will be war if this country is fit to live.

WARREN F. COOK | CHAPLAIN OF SENATE Pastor of Trinity Church Honored by Appointment to High Post' s Rev. Warren Foster Cook, pastor of Trinity Methodist Episcopal church, has been signally honored by being selected as chaplain of the Comnecti- cut senate, to succeed the late Rev. Dr. Fennell. It is believed that this is the first ocecasion a New Britain clergyman has been chosen' for the position. At least, it is the first time within ' the memory at the present generation. The selection was mda by Pres. ident Pro Tem. Liyman of Middlefield. Rev. Mr. Cook delivy the prayer in the senate last Wednesday morn- ing and he made a lasting impression on the members. 'It is probable, however, that his selection by Sen- ator Lyman dates back to an occasion several years ago when he preached in Middlefield. ‘Senator Lyman was a member of the congregation and never forgot the masterful and con- .| vincing sermon. Senator George W. Klett of this city was consulted by Senator Lyman and lent his hearty endorsement to the selection of Rev. Mr. Cook. Senator Klett expressed extreme gratification today regarding the appointment of the local clergyman and remarked that New. Britain should feel honored. The appointment will be announced formally next Tuésday when the sen- ate convenes. Rev. Mr. Cook was born in Eureka, Kansas, and by a queer ‘coincidence today, 'the day on which he heard he had been selected for senate ghaplain, is his birthday. He was #raduated from Baker university In Kansasg and then came east, doing graduate work at Yale university. He entered Hart- ford seminary and while pursuing- his studies there he preached at St. Paul’s church.’ He then went to St. James’ church .in Brooklyn, N. Y., and for the past two years he has been pastor of Trinity church in this city. Friends of the pastor will rejoice in his elcvation to such a prominent post. Since taking up his residence in this city, the minister has won the hearts of hundreds, admiratfon not being confined to his own congrega- tion. e e e WEATHER.

This is too ridiculous for words, Needless to say, Japan re-~ mains faithful to her allies.” y In response to a question regarding Japan's attitude toward the anti-Ja-: pafiese measures which’ were brought forward in Idaho and Oregon, M. Shidehara 'said he had upechlly re- questéd newspapers to refrain froj inflammatory comment, advising that the matter be left - for treatment through diplomatic channels. It was noticeable that the agitation did not ‘approach that of the time the matter ‘was brought up in California and it is doubtful whether the masses of the DPeople were even cognizant - of the Oregon and Idaho bills. “Of course we registered objections to the bills on the ground that they were discriminatory,” he continued. “Japan ‘is convinced Secretary Lans- war with Germany unless congress ls ing has done everything possible to | This was prevent the passage of the measures, ] L\mt regrets the apparent revival of an anti-alien measure in one state.

This figure only exceeds by 140,000~ tons it is declared what the British authorities expected would be sunk during that month if ordinary subma- rine warfare had been continued. It compares with 346,666 tons sunk during December and 322,067 tons during January. HOLD UP REL!I'JF FUND. Money for German Widows and Or- phans Not Distributed.

Amsterdam, via London, March 3.— Count Von Bernstorff, former German ambassador to the United States has been npominated as a candidate for hstag ln place of .the late socording to thy Berlin, March 3, by wireless to:8ay- villee—The following was given out today by the Overseas News Agency: The foreign secretary Zimmermann was asked by a staff member of the Overseas News Agency' .about the English report that a “German plot had been revealed to get Mexico to declare war against the United States and to secure Japan’s aid against the United States,” Secretary Zimmer- imann answered “You understand that. it'is impossible for me to discuss the | facts of this ‘revealed plot’ just ati this moment and under these circum- stances. I therefore may be allowed 1o, imit my answer to what is said in the English reports, which cer- ly are not inspired 'by sympathy ith Germany. The English report expressly states that Germany ex- pected and wished to remain on terms but that we had prepared measures of defense if the United States de- clared war against Germany. I fail unfriendless on our part. It would theans universally admitted in war, declarqd War. “Ihe most’ imvortadt phrt of the alleged plot is its conditions . and form. The whole plot falls” flat.to the ground. in case the United States does not declare against us. And if we really, as the report alleges, con- sidered the possibility of hostile acts of the United States against use then we really had reasons to do s0.” : Accuses America of ' Plot. An Argentine newspaper a while ago revealed a plot when it told that the United States last year suggested | of. friendship with the United States to_see how such a plot is inspired by mean nothing but that we would use’ in case the United Stllel to other American republics common | action against Germany and her al- les. * This ‘plot apparently. was not conditional in the least. The news, as published by La.Prensa (Buenos! Afres;) agrees well with the interpre- tation given, for instance, by an Ammwn,mpvcr man, Edward and London, whp! 7wt R ing only' for ‘the proper moment in order opportunely to assist the En- tente. The same American stated that Americans, from the beginning of the war, really participated in it by putting the jmmonse resources of the United States at the Entente’s disposal and that Ameritans had not declared war only because they feit gure-that assistance by friendly neu trality would be, during that time, much more efficient for the Entente than direct participation in the war: ‘Whether this Ame;lum newspaper man reported the facts exactly , we were at a loss to:judge in satisfac- tory fashion, since we were more or less completely cut off from com- munication with the United States. “But there were other faets which seemed to confirm this and similar assurances. Everybody knows thesc facts and I need not repeat them. The Entente propaganda services have sufficiently heralded all these pro- Entente demonstrations in_the United States.” “And if you link these demonstra- tions with the actual attitude of the United. States, then it is obvious that it’ was not frivolous on our part to consider what defonsive measures we should take in case we were attacked by the United States.” There is no record of an American newspaper correspondent named Ed- ward Price.

London, March 8, 10:46 a. m. —, Fore!gn Secretary Zimmermann’s in- | a!ructions to the German ministor to i Mexico, as published in the - United States, are admitted in Berlin to| have been correctly quoted, according to a despatch to Reuter’s from the | German capital by way of Amsterdam. i The despatch quotes the’ mnowlu, telennm received in Amsterdam from ; Berlin on Friday and which appar-; ently was sent by the Wolff Bureau, the semi-official German news agency. “The American, press contains re-, ports about instructions from the min- istry of foreign affairs to the German minister in Mexico City, in the event that Germany, after the proclamation of unrestricted submarine warfare, failed to keep the United States neu- | tral. These reports are based on the following facts, - “After the decision had been taken to begin unrestricted submarine war- fare on Feb, 1, we had to reckon, in i view of the previous attitude of the American government, with the pos- sibility of conflict: with the United States. That this calculation was right is proved by the fact that the American government severed diplo- matic relations with Germany soon after the publication of a barred zone and asked other necutrals to follow her example.
