HARRINGTON IS
FOUND GUILTY BY
JURY At CREST0N
Well Known Omaha Lawyer
Convicted on Charge Of I'M
peding Justice in United
States Courts.

M. F. Harrington, well-known
Omaha lawyer, was found guilty on
charge Of impeding justice in the
United States courts by a jury at
Creston, Ia, which brought in its ver-
dict Saturday morning. The Judge
gave Harrington 80 days in which to
file a motion for a new trial. This
motion will be argued in some other
Iowa federal court, because the court
will not sit at Creston again until
September.
Convicted with him on the same
charge were: Charles T. Anderson,
Ainsworth, Neb.; A. w. Scattergood,
Ainsworth lawyer; Mrs. Frances Muir
ply, Omaha, and Leonard Camp.
Creston, la. Gerald Harrington,
son of Mike Harrington, was ac-
quilted.
The case was begun at Creston last
Monday. The jury took it Friday at
4 p. m. and returned its verdict at 9
o'clock Saturday morning.
Woman Flees to Canada.
The case grew out of the prosecu-
ton of Charles T. Anderson, a hotel
keeper of Ainsworth,, ,Neb., arrested
in 1915 on the charge of taking a
woman from Ainsworth, to Sioux
City, Ia. Trial was set for May. 1916.
At that time when Chief Eberstein Of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
and his agents went to get the wom-
an, who was being held as a
government witness, she could not be
found. Later, she was brought back
from Canada and the government
filed charges against the defendants in
the present case for spiriting her
away
When the woman was brought
back Anderson pleaded guilty to the
white slave charge and was sentenced
to two years in prison, sentence
which he is now serving.

MOBBEDM WAHOO

Wahoo. Neb., March 30.-(Special
Telegram )-Organizers of the Nom
partisan league were mobbed and
driven out OF Wahoo this afternoon
following an attempt to hold a mass
meeting in the town hall.
The meeting, scheduled for o'clock
this afternoon, was to have been ad-

speakers.
Police officers were stationed about

any demonstration would be stopped.
Organizers of the Nonpartisan
league had been warned by the sher-
iff and members of the County Council
of Defense that they would be prohib-
tied from holding any meetings in
the county.
Representative w. J. Taylor of
Merna and Grand Army Veteran
named Upton of Lincoln were in the
party of nonpartisans. Both were for
time in the office of the County
Council of Defense of Saunders
county. They had wordy argument
with Chairman E. E. Placek and DR..
Webber, and accused the county off,
GERS of putting up a job on the no.
partisans. They were not detained.
The men roughly handled were
James Maxwell of Lincoln and James
Smith of York. They were not ser
iously injured, though the blood
flowed freely from their faces.
The town was surging mass of
people and the organizers were not
even allowed to utter word of their
speeches. They had been sent writ
ten notices not to appear.

CRUEL BoCHES
Germans Loot and Burn, Leav-
ing ror-StriCken People
With Nothing; Look to
American Aid.

A vivid picture of the distress left
in France in the wake of the boche
is embodied in a letter received by
Mrs. Robert Proudht, 1881 Cunning
street, from French woman with
whom Mrs. Proudft's husband, Lieu
tenant Proudht, was sbilleted. =
The letter was t translated for The
Bee by Miss CoFinne Poissant,
French woman in the Offices of c. N.
Dietz.
1--WE are very unfortunate and very
poor. The Germans have taken
everything from US, burned every
thing. We have nothing. They left
US with scarcely any clothing and
we were obliged to fly before the
bombardment, which lasted five hours,
I, with my little girl, aged Is months.
The shells were falling all about us
while the boches were burning the
houses. | do not know how we es-
capped. God certainly protected us.
Such terrible anguish, dear madame,
you would have to have lived through
those terrible hours to know what
they were.
Praises President Wilson.
"For your dear soldiers | would do
,, anything, and every Frenchman would
kiss the feet of your soldiers. Your
President Wilson is man deserving
of high praise, as he understood in
spite of the propaganda of the boche
that it was necessary to declare war.
With your powerful army, your gold
and ammunition, we will put down
Prussian miltarism. Thanks to your
soldiers we can rebuild Our homes"
81 would be very grateful to you,
madame, if you would interest your
self in our behalf. You and your
friends might be able to send us some
clothes, we are so poor. We have
only the clothes we had at the be-
ginning of the war. 1t is certainly
terrible to be in this condition after
having had everything. Pardon for
speaking of this, but it would help us
so much and we would be eternally
grateful. Thanking you and hoping
to receive good news from you. be-
lleve me, Sincerely,
Madame Holdirnet Charles"
Madame Charles has words of COM
fort for the young bride, who was the
first one in Omaha to wed a young
soldier following the award of COM
missions in the first officers training
camp at Fort Smelling.
THE terrible war separates so many
beings who love each other, but we
must accept, and finally those terri
bic Germans will disappear Do not
weep, do not be discouraged, Mon
sieur Proudft will soon return" she
wrote.
Madame Charles husband has been
in the war four years and was
wounded once, and others of her
family are in the trenches. She re-
quests Mrs. Proudht to answer her
letter in English, as she has the
necessary books for translating.

ENTENTE OUTLOOK HOPEFUL
British Army Headquarters in
France, March 30.-The situation to-
day from the entente standpoint is re-
ported more satisfactory. The British
section of the battle front last night
was comparatively quiet.
The British lines have been
strengthened rapidly on every quarter
along the front. There is most
heartening display of determination
and optimism.
In the vicinity of Albert the Ger
mans today were reported to be dig

from Thiepval to LaBoiselle.
Fo brief space the tides of conflict
have slackened, but any moment they
may set again. When the Germans
have brought forward their artillery
and overhauled their fighting ma
chine the struggle undoubtedly will
be renewed, perhaps with greater
ferocity than before.
Yesterday afternoon the enemy had
a small success south Of the Luce
river or the British right flank. Strong
German forces attacking there cap

Blanche, north of that village. The
