SECRETARY OF WAR DISAGREES
"IRREVOCABLY" WITH
PRESIDENT.
INSISTS ON HIS ARMY PLAN
And Because Its Passage Through
Congress Was Not Demanded By
Wilson, He Handed In
His Resignation.
Washington.—Secretary Lindley M
Garrison resigned because President
Wilson would not "irrevocably" sup-
port the continental army plan and be-
cause he opposes the administration's
program of setting a definite time for
Philippine independence.
President Wilson accepted the resig-
nation and has not selected his suc-
cessor. The president himself prob-
ably will take personal charge of the
administration's national defense
plans in congress.
Assistant Secretary Breckenridge al-
so resigned as a mark of loyalty to his
chief, whose views he shared. The
president accepted his resignation.
Both take efTect immediately. Major
General Hugh 8cott, chief of staff of
the army, automatically becomes sec>
retary of war ad interim.

Secretary Garrison.
One of Secretary Garrison's princi-
pal reasons for his conviction that
only a federal continental army, in-
stead of a reorganized national guard
could be the main military dependence
of the nation was his belief that some
day the United States may be called
upon to defend the Monroe doctrine,
and in that event he foresaw the na-
tional guard might not be available
for use outside of the United States
before a declaration of war.
Contentions on Which Two Parted.
Upon the contention on the one
hand that the continental army or ul-
timately universal service was the na-
tion's only reliance, and the osition
on the other that no one plan could
be enforced upon congress, President
Wilson and Ills secretary of war part-
ed official company.
Mr. Garrison's resignation was a
complete surprise to official Washing-
ton generally. He made no personal
explanation. Several hours before the
official announcement he had boarded
a train with his wife for New York
and word had been passed at the de-
partment that he had gone for an in-
definite stay.
The acute differences of opinion
•which led to the break began early in
the year when opposition to the con-
tinental army plan began developing
in congress. There had been indefi-
nite rumors of the possibility of the
secretary of war leaving the cabinet
hut they never were countenanced in
official quarters. The secretary every-
where was regarded as one of the
fitrong men of the administration upon
whom the president leaned in the elif-
ficult situations, domestic and inter-
national, which marked his adminis-
tration.
Pindell's Name Mentioned.
Peoria, 11!.—Henry M. Pindell, pub-
lisher of the Peoria Journal, may re-
ceive the nomination of secretary of
war, according to information which
reached here. Mr. Pindell refused to
discuss the report, but left at once for
Washington.

Washington.—Weeks of Investiga-
tion by agents of the department of
justice resulted in the voting of in-
dictments by a federal grand jury in
San Francisco against prominent fig-
ures in what are considered here to
be two of the boldest plots Involving
questions of American neutrality that
have been uncovered since the Euro-
pean war began.
Among those against whom indict-
mentrfiR'ere voted^hre OTanz Bopp, Ger-
man consul general; Baron E. H. von j
Schack, vice consul of Germany, and
Maurice Hall, the Turkish consul gen-
eral.
Consular officers do not enjoy diplo-
matic immunity. The indictments
voted, however, are the first which
the Amercian government has attempt-
ed to obtain against any foreign repre-
sentatives. This fact was taken to
mean that hereafter the administra-
tion means to prosecute wherever
prosecution will lie any offender
against American neutrality.
Bopp and Von Schack are charged
with complicity in the plot which was
first uncovered several weeks ago with
the arrest of C. C. Crowley, pro-Ger-
man agent who had undertaken to
cripple the American output of mu-
nitions of war and in other ways to
help the cause of the Teutonic allies.
Bopp is accused of being the head of a
conspiracy which hoped to accomplish
this end by interfering with trade in
munitions and prevent railway ship-
ments by blowing up two tunnels on
Canadian railroads.
The indictment of the Turkish con-
sul general was voted in connection
with the use of the steamer Sacra-
mento to supply German ships of war
in the South Pacific which ended in
the interment of that vessel by the | in Fonseca bay

passage was asked by Secretary Dan-
iels who pointed out the limited capa-
city of American shipbuilding yards
for constructing dreadnaughts and
said that if the naval increases con-
templated in the administration's pre-
paredness program were to be carried
out, it would be necessary to increase
the capacity of government yards.
The government yards bid $1,000,000
under privateproposals for dread-
naughts 43 and 44.
A SQUARE DEAL FOR COLOMBIA
Senate and President Disagree With
Amended Treaty.
Washington.—Approval has not
been given by President Wilson and
democrats of the senate are by no
means unanimously in favor of amend-
ments to the Colombia treaty reported
last week by the senate foreign rela-
tions committee. It de'veloped that a
strong effort will be made in the senate
to defeat the changes, w hich would re-
duce the proposed indemnity to Colom-
bia for the partition of Panama from
$25,000,000 to $15,000,000 and revise
the expression of regret that anything
should have marred the relations be-
tween the two countries so as to make
it mutual instead of on the part of the
United States alone.
Minister Betancourt of Colombia
called on Secretary Lansing and was
assured that the president had not
given his approval to either of the
amendments. Later it became known
than many of the democrats of the for-
eign relations committee opposed the
changes.
Senator Stone has called up the Nic-
araguan $3,000,000 bill, providing for
acquirement of an option on the Nic-
araguan canal route and naval bases
it the duty of the state labor commis-
sioner to see that this section of the
law is carried out.
During the debate on the bill It was
stated on the floor of the senate that
I at least 200 prisoners already have sig-
nified their willingness to work in the
coal mines in preference to other forms
of prison labor. The compensation the
prisoners will receive is left to the
state board of affairs.
The senators who voted for the bill
were:
Barrett, Bickel, Blassingame, Board,
Chase of Nowata. Chase of Seminole,
Cline, Curran, Edmonson, Edwards,
Field, Morgan, Killam, Logan, McAl-
ister, McMechan, Mitchell, O'Neil,
Russell, Shaw, Thomas, Watrous and
Ben F Wilson.
The senators who voted against It
were:
Austia, Beauman, Buckner, Car-
penter, Cordell, T. H. Davidson, R. L.
Davidson, Davis, Franklin, Hickman,
' Keller, McIntosh, Bryan, Sutherlin,
Tusker and Wilson of Dewey, socialist.
The bill providing for the establish-
ment of a twine factory in the peniten-
tiary at McAlester, to be operated by
prison labor, was passed finally by the
house. It carires an appropriation of
$125,000 of which $75,000 is to be
spent under the direction of the state
board of public affairs in the construc-
tion and equipment of a suitable fac-
tory for manufacturing twine, and the
remainder of the money will go into
the penitentiary revolving fund, to be
used in carrying on the work of the
enterprise.
Other Legislation.
The house passed finally the senate
resolution authorizing the payment o

Instructions were that the merchant-
man should carry and attack

ARM0RPLATE THREAT A FAILURE
Government Will Establish Its Own
Steel Plant.
Washington.—A bill for a govern-
ment armor plate factory was ap-
proved by the senate naval committee
within a few minutes after manufactur-
ers had served notice that should such
a plant be established the price
charged the government for armor
made by private concerns would be In-
creased nearly one-half.
An appropriation of $11,000,000 is
carried by the bill for purchase or con-
struction of a government factory with
an annual output of not less than 20,-
000 tons yearly. That is little more
than would be required for two first
class battleships and would leave a
large part of the armor needed in the
navy's increased building program to
come from private plants.

not to select a temporary chairman
and that task will probably not be
taken up until May.
