ALLOWED DEMURRER
CASE AGAINST JOHN HOFFMAN
FOR ALLEGED DIsLoYALTY NOT
SUBJECT TO STATUTE

Judge Parsons in district court Mon
day sustained the demurrer entered in
the case of John Hoffman, who had been
indicted by the grand jury for making
disloyal remarks, and dismissed the
case. The defendant had previously en-
tered plea of not guilty before Judge
Roeser. Judge Parsons finds that the
offense claimed is not punishable under
the statute under which the charge was
brought. -
Appended to Judge Parsons ruling
was the following note:
NOTE: The defendant, who was at
the time Of the alleged offense draft
law Of the United States, Is accused of
having spoken the following words: II
will get. out Of 1T (meaning the draft.
and .; I don't care aS. how much it will
presence Of two other persons. And it
is charged that the defendant thereby
violated the provisions of the laws of
WSeR Is Of ooTs Tsepsff sS 1ss
lawful for any person to teach or ad-
vocate by any written or printed mat
ter whatsoever, or by: oral speech. that
or assist the United States in prosecut-
public enemies Of the United States"
The words which defendant is said to
have used are in the highest degree
cowardly and dishonorable, but are
they within the prohibition Of the stat
ute? I think not. The statute does
not attempt to reach all forms of dis
loyalty. Only such words as may fair
ly and naturally be construed as teach
ing or advocating that citizens should
not aid the United States in carrying
on war with the public enemies of the
United States are within its purview.
| It seems clear to me that such is not
| the reasonable or natural .interpreta-
tion of the language under considera-
tion. To hold otherwise would be to
give to defendants words a meaning of
which they are not fairly and natural
ly susceptible, and would involve vio-
lent and unreasonable construction of
! tion under the indictment could be sus-
tanned.

SECRETARY CHOSEN
WALTER. z. OLSON OF ST. PAUL,
sE1EoTED By BOARD OF CON-
hGERQE DIRECTORS

. On Monday, May 6, Walter E. Olson,
of the staff Of the St. Paul Association
of Public and Business Affairs, will
take charge of the Board of Commercs
Offices, in the capacity Of secretary
manager. Mr.. Olson was selected by
the board of directors at meeting last
week, and wired his acceptance 6atur-
day night. He was selected after COM
munication with a number of CONNER
cial organization secretaries, because Of
his training and experience in organiza-
tion affairs.
Mr.. Olson has been a member of the
staff Of the st. Paul association for
four years, being connected with the
traffic department.. He comes here
highly recommended for his ability in
organizing and producing results. He
is a married man, with a family, and
expects in the near future to move his
family to this city. The past two
months Mr.. Olson has been in Fari-
bault, where, as director of sales, he
conducted the Third Liberty Loan cam
paign in Rice county. That county was
among the first four counties in the
state to reach their quotas. While he
has had considerable experience in the
city association work, he has made a
number of trips to the smaller cities,
such as just quoted, and can appreciate
the small city view point Of affairs. At
time when commercial organization
secretaries are at a premium, the board
of directors consider their organization
fortunate in securing a man with Mr..
Olson g experience and training.
r. C. Breth, who has been acting
manager of the Board of Commerce
since it's organization, has been expect
ing call into service with the naval
auxiliary for sometime, and will leave
