First Overt Act of Germany Should Be Signal for Drastic Move. URGE AGAINST BREAK NOW Actibn of Any Kind by Word or Deed Unlikely Before Monday. NO COMMUNICATION SENT Washington, Feb. 2. At a confer ence of President Wilson with sen ate members, it was learned that Sen ator Stone, chairman of the foreign relations committee and Senator Liwis of Illinois, felt that no 'imme diate breach with Germany would be justified', that the course to be taken was to stand on the assumption that Germany did not intend to imperil American citizens or property, but that the very first act against the United States should be the signal for the rupture. When President Wilson" left the capitol after two hours of confer ences with members of the senate, one senator, who had talked with him, said a break in diplomatic re lations with Germany practically was certain. Comes to Swap Views. The president himself told the newspaper men only that he had come up to "swap views" and declined to say whether anything would be done tonight. "There was generally discussion of all these plans," said the senator. "But in my judgment the opinion of the majority was to break relations at once and give Bernstorf his pass porjs tomorrow." Three Propositions. Three propositions, it was said, were discussed in the conference. There were: To break off diplomatic relations with Germany and give Am bassador Bernstorff his passports to morrow. . : f - , To wait until some overt act had been eommitteed aaginst the rights of the United States ty Germany be fore taking any action. To re-define this government's posi tion in the light of Germany's ruthless submarine campaign. The president was asked if he con templated addressing congress "Oh, thai was not discussed at all," lie said. President Non-Committal. "The president was very careful' not 10 state specifically what he had in .mind." said1. Senator Gorman. Senator Fletcher said the president had as yet done nothing.but came to seek, flic advice of senators as to what he should do. He said it was not dear in the president's mind whether the American government should proceed on the assuption that Ger many having given pledges for re stricted use of its submarines, would stand by those pledges andnot take any action until Germany violated them; or whether summary action should be taken in the face of a note which announced at 4 o!clock one day that Germany would begin unre stricted warfare at midnight. Senator Fletcher said the senti ment of all present was that no more communications should be sent to Germany, whatever course is pursued. rresuicni vviison lonignt cancelled his engagement tos peak before the Chamber of Commerce of the United States.

CRAFT Secretary Lansing Advises European Sailings Delayed Until Action Taken. WISER TO AWAIT DECISION Washington, Feb. 2. European sailings of all American ships should postpone leaving port, according to the opinion of the State department. Secretary Lansing sent this message to the International Mercantile Ma rine in regard to the sailing of the American steamer St. Louis for Eng land tomorrow.

CITIZENSHIP OF WWu IN DOUBT of Douglas Senator j Not to Have Completed His Naturalization. WHAT MOORHEAD SAYS (From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Feb. 2. (Special.) Sen ator Ed Howell of Omaha has served several terms in the Nebraska state senate with much, credit, honor, glory and other things, and now it appears that there is an attempt to take it all away from him, the charge having been made that he is not a naturalized citizen of the state and, therefore, not entitled to serve in the legislature. The matter became so persistent that the democrats of the senate have held a secret caucus, so secret that very little is known'ahout the matter, and Howell insists that even he is prohibited from discussing the mat ter. It is asserted that Mr. Howell's father never completed his naturaliza tion, and as the son was not born in this country", but in Canada, it will result in the delegation from Douglas being short one man if the charge is substantiated. Nobody appears to know where the thing originated, ex cept that it came from the senator's home city. The records in the office of Election Commissioner Moorhead, based on Mr. Howell's representations when he registered, show that his father took out his second naturalization papers in Otoe county when the present state senator was 14 vears old. Mr. Moorhead said last evening that this was the information furnished from his office when the question of Mr. Howell's citizenship came up. Neutral Traffic" " To Great Britain Nearly Suspended London,. Feb. 2. The whole of Europe, neutral and belligerent, is anxiously' awaiting the action of the United States on Germany's note an nouncing its new submarine policy. Meanwhile a large proportion of neu tral shipping is being held in port or recalled. Traffic between England and Hol land and LngUnd and the Scanda navian countries, so far as it is ear ned.11 byieiitraJ.wasefVls held up. I his is as serious (oVttlc neutrals as for England, as itt smaller countries depend upon Great Britain for many things, particularly for coal. Liverpool ship owners today ex pressed the view that the new declar ation ot tne submarine warfare will not affect transatlantic traffic, but the number of Americans who contem plated, returning home during the next few weeks have hastened their uoohings. eAn a.i ? rerica 'dAu Nor-1 wegian Atlantic liners are the only ui t, nuvre voyages nave Deen can celled or postponed. Thus far the results of the new policy have not been reHected in the esses ot snips recorded b Lloyds' shipping agency, today's fist being about the same average size as for some weeks past. The comment of the evening news papers on the situation follows largely that of the morning journals. Most of them are concerned with what President Wilson will do.

President Wil son with possible Japanese complica tions during the present international Boise, Idaho, Feb. 2. Anti-alien leaders in the Idaho senate decided today the anti-alien land ownership bill, passed by the house would be killed in order not to embarrast the United States government during the present international crisis. Washington, Feb. 2. Japan's rep resentations to the United States against the anti-alien land bills pend ing in the Idaho and Oregon leg islatures, although made informally through its embassy here, are consid ered no less serious at this critical juncture of international affairs th.tn its protests against the California laws four years ago. Absolutely nothing had been per mitted by the administration to be come public until the protest was dis closed by appeals to the Oregon and Idaho delegations in congress to use their inBuence at home to prevent passage of the bills at this time. The state of feeling in Japan, prob ably much disturbed by the recent crisis in the government, has been represented to the State department a bring so serious that the Japanese statesmen who wish to preserve friendly relations with the United States fear the passage of more legis lation in this country directed against their country may force the situation at home beyond their control., , Threat Implied Says Borah. Boise, Idaho, Feb. 2. United States Senator William Borah, hitherto an ardent supporter of the bill pending in the Idaho legislature to bar Japan ese from land ownership in this state, has modified hit position after confer ences with Secretary of State Lansing and Counsellor Polk. The Idaho Daily Statesman said to day, quoting a telegram from Senator Borah, printed with his authorization! "Secretary Lansing and . Mr. Polk paid a second call Thursday night at senator Borah s residence . and re ported 'that Tokio fears the enact ment of such legislation at such a time may so incense the Japanese people as to force the government in self preservation to signify a willingness to register by force of arms its pro test against the Idaho bill.'

REFUSE TO BE DRAWN IN Lobbyists Come Under Ban and Are Ordered Out by Representatives. MONEY POR PROBERS (From n Staff Correspondent.) . Lincoln. Feb. 2. (Special Tele gram.) A resolution authorizing a petition to President Wilson and the American congress to maintain the peaceful attitude and tranquility of the nation during the present crisis , was presented in the Nebraska house today. (Prom Staff Corrrapondent.) Lincoln, Feb. 2. (Special.) The ' house adopted the following rcsolu-1 tion today: "Recognizing the intensity df the war spirit and the delicate position in which the president is now placed, the legislature of Nebraska, in behalf of the citizens, petition the president and congress of the United States to maintain a peaceful attitude and tran quility of our nation, "And thereby refuse to be drawn into this world-wide conflict, which in the end only means untold suffering, , and will tend to the humiliation of the entire human race." The resolution was introduced by' Representatives Lampert and Leman, both of Saunders county. It was laid over a day under the rules. Fight the Lobby. ' Members of the lower house of the Nebraska legislature do not propose to take any chances of being con taminated by lobbyists, so today Mr. Reischick moved that the lergeant-at-arms and his trusty ti'puty be armed with a list of names of "legit- -lative agents.". As soon 1; these make any attempt to appear on the floor of the house the officers nrart "shoo" '" them out. If they continue to roost on the guard rail, which separate! the common herd from the uncom mon herd, they will be ejected and will have to ply their business out in the hall. Car Shortage Money. Tftere must be a democrat on the railway commission, for the commit tee on finance, ways and means rec- ommended out for passage a little hill to allow the commission $1,500 for expenses incurred in investigat ing the car shortage. No more will the festive jackrab bit have to flee before the hounds at coursing meets, if the bill which to day was sent to third reading in the house by a vote of 70 to 23, is suc cessful in getting through the other branches. The bill, as first drawn, included the prohibition of wild west shows, but this has been eliminated and the bill appeals to meet with favor. The same proposition has been up before legislatures several times before, but this is the first time it has received any favorable cinsideration. Several of the members were the subjects of considerable joking this ' , , morning because a reporter or some ' other ruffian had made it appear in a morning paper that they made speeches which favored the $100,000 hog barn reported for passage yes terday with the amount cut to $80, 000. As it ' happened these members, Cronin, Fries, McAllister and Lig gett, made talks against the bill, but the members persisted in proving to them that their talks agair.st the bill helped its approval by the house.
