MILLER
FOUND
GUILTY

Guilty was the verdict of the Jury
J in the case of the United States
against William G. Miller, when it re-
turned last evening shortly after Z
o'clock in the United States district
court, which has been in session here
for several days cleaning up the GRIM
| inal calendar.
In the hearing of this case ruling
was made by Judge G. r. Amidon, that
I in all probability, constitutes prece-
dent as to when and when not wit
ness can stand upon his rights and re-
fuse to testify.
Miller was charged with having
transported May Austin Williams from
Minneapolis to Marmarth, where he
was living with her in illegal. relations
May Williams is a married woman and
when she was placed on the stand in
the court yesterday morning as the
principaI witness for Inc government,
she refused to testify, on the advice of
her attorney, S, w. Richardson, on the
ground that her testimony might i'm
plicate her under the Mipuesota sta
tutes for adultery, or under the federal
statutes, for conspiracy in the act of
her transportation from ono state to
another for immoral purposes.
The matter was argued in court and
Judge Amidon decided that she would
nave TO answer the questions pro-
pounded to her, as she had appeared
before the grand jury and testified in
full; that having done this, her refusal
to testify on the stand in the hearing
made it appear that there was bad
faith on her part and that the likeli-
hood of charges being brought against
her in Minnesota or under the federal
statutes, were so remote as to not con
stitute a real bar to her standing upon
her constitutional rights.
1t was largely through the testimony
of Mrs. Williams that Miller was con-
victed, it being shown that he furaish-
ed the monye to pay her fare on a
common carrier from Minneapolis to
! Marmarth.
The jury in the case was only out a
short time, giving q unanimous finding
!, of guilty on the second ballot, &C cord
+, ing to the reports of the deliberations.
| At this time Miller had not been SEN
fenced and it will probably be tonnor-
row morning before this will be ac-
lcomplished.
+ The case was prosecuted by u. s.
! District Atty. Col. M. A. Hildreth and
Asst. u. s. District Atty John Car
mody Atty. A. W. Cupler of this city
appeared for the defense.

Preliminary Draft
Of German Reply
Said TO Indicate
Moderate Tone
Willing to Accept Offer of u S. to Mediate With Great
Britain for Modification of British Blockade in
Return For Less Submarine Activity.

(By Carl Ackerman, United Press Staff Core
spondent Copyright, 1915, by United Press)
Berlin, June 25.-The preliminary draft of the
German reply to the American note, subject to
changes am authoritatively Informed, contains
the following representations:
First, that Germany is fighting for the freedom
of seas and does not desire in any way to eopardze
the interests of neutrals
Second an expression of appreciation of friend
ship for America
Third, the acceptance of the presidents sug
gestion of willingness to mediate between Germany
and England and obtain modification of the Brit
ish blockade in return for the modification of Ger
many's methods of submarine warfare.
Fourth, an indication that Germany was prob
ably misinformed in the contention that the Lusi-
tana was armed
Fifth, an indication that Germany is willing to
negotiate with America along the lines laid down
by President Wilson in his humanity plea with
out relinguishing the submarine warfare enemy
merchantmen which may be regarded as Ger
many's most effective weapon.
Sixth, indication that any compromise to
which Germany may agree regarding beligerent
ships must secure to Germany the safety of her
submarines from their attacks. In this connection
the Weddingen case will probably be cited.

When thousands of Steele county
farmers yesterday gathered in Pat
tens grove near Hope to celebrate
their second annual picnic new epoch
was established in the history of
North Dakota.
Is that putting it too strong? Is
there a tendency to exaggerate in that
statement2
An epoch is point Of time from
which succeeding years are reckoned,
and no one could gaze over that vast,
happy, enthusiastice throng without
feeling very deeply that new era had
dawned for our state, an era of COM
munity interest, a feeling of neighbor-
illness which we have lacked in the
west, a development of pride in our
stat and a determination to do our
work in a better way.
Just imagine standing near the en-
trance to the grove and looking from
the cross roa DIS in all directions and
seeing tne dark rapidly moving cars
that came sweeping from everywhere.

Gonzales is delaying his occupation of
Mexico City ito save the city from the
horrors of attack" and that he has
been ordered to exhaust every means
to induce the Villa-Zapata troops to
withdraw without resistance. The
Carranza war department urges that

General Carranza has promised full

ZAPATA
FORCES
BAR WAY

Washington, June 25.-The Zapata
forces defending Mexico City have en-
gagged the attacking Carranza army in
a series of artillery duels, delaying it's
advance. No details are continued in
the advices reaching here. which are
the first indications that the Carranza
advance will be resisted.
Communication with Mexico City
has been cut off since June 1S when
General Gonzales, the Carranza COM
mander. cut the wires to Vera Cruz at
Otumba, twenty five miles east from
the capital. Consular advices from
Vera Cruz said the wires are still
down, and that it is impossible that
communication will be restored before
the Carranza forces have entered the
city.
