BUCKINGHAM SUIT;
DRAFT EVASION

Buckingham Charges that Paul
Amber a Buckingham farm owner
has made false claims to obtain ex-
emption form draft before the local
board Of Northern Weld County at
Eaton are included in an answer to
an unlawful detainer cult which Am
ber brought against his tnant Clar-
enee Robertson in Judge J. H. john
soon's Justice court at Buckingham.
Robertsons answer which contained
the evasiye charges was filed in Judge
Jphnson's court Thursday. March Z.
The trial OF the case has been set for
March IA.
The circumstances which led up to
the suit are reported as follows:
Robertson has been leasing Ambers
dry farm northwest OF Buckingham.
Recently Amber has attempted tooust
Robertson and collect 1920 rentar
which he claims was due him Rob-
ertson in turn denies that he owes
Amber cash rental and claims a two
third interest in so acres of fall
wheat which he drilled in on the Am
ber ranch last fall
Recently Judge Johnson fined Rob-
ertson IS and costs for seizing AM
ber and .ducking him in a tank OF
water on the Amber ranch. The
Judge remitted the fine. During the
hearing Robertson testified that Am
Der was caught in the act of pouring
a can OF oil in the tank at the time
his ducking occurred.
Robertson admits that his lease
on the balance of the Amber ranch
expires February but claims crop
rers right to hold possession OF the
~ acres which he planted to whea:.
One clause of Robertsons answer
is as follows: "Plaintiff is within
draft age and at some time In Janu-
AIRY 1918 WIS summoned before the
draft board at Eaton, Colo. to answer
his questionnaire and that defend
ant is informed and verify believes
that plaintiff made effort to evade
service in the United States army
and other branches OF the service by
making claim OF exemption on agri-
cultural grounds. falsely claiming
that he was farming said premises
well knowing that such was not true
and knowing that said defendant
had same planted to wheat and well
knowing the law that defendant was
entitled to remain in possession and
reap the harvest therefrom solely in
an effort to manufacture grounds OF
exemption. and that plaintiff is at
tempting to gain possession of said
premises for the purpost of sub
siantiating said claim.

lnsuIted Again

New York, June 5.-The appoint
ment of Sir James Campbell as lord
chancellor Of Ireland, as announced
last night in cable dispatch from
London, was described here today by
7. P. O'Connor, NJ. p, as ian open
and violent insult and provocation to
the Catholics and Nationalists in
Ireland"
Mr.. O'Connor made the following
statement:
"The appointment of Sir James
Campbell to the lord chancellorship of
ireland, with the obviously enforced
retirement of Sir Ignatius O'Brien, a
Nationalist and Catholic, is one of
the most serious events in recent
Irish history. 1t is an open and vio-
lent insult and provocation to the
Catholics and Nationalist in Ireland"
AS the Roman Catholics of
Ireland profess to have a fresh
insult it is to be expected that
the Irish Catholic press in the
United States will howl in uni
son with them. Let 'em howl.

In the Service Since l9l2---Or-
dered Out Of France by
General Pershing

HONOLULU, Hawaii.-Chaplain
Franz }. Feinler, captain Second In
tantry, U. S. A., who was stationed
at TT. Shafter, has been found guilty
OF disloyalty and sentenced to a long
term OF penal servitude. Announce,
ment to this effect has been made in
Honolulu from Washington, d. c,
Chaplain Feinler is Roman Cath
olic.
The case has been given to Presi-
dent Wilson for review. Although
the advices reaching here do not
specify the length of sentence, it is
believed the prisoner will be given q
sentence similar to that of Captain
Henkes, who was ordered from
France in company with Chaplain
Feinler by General Pershing ant
later tried for disloyal utterances
and convicted of the offense. Captain
Henkes was sentenced to imprison
ment for 20 years.
Chaplain Feinler was arrested here
on March 2, and his trial for the Of
Tense of which he has been convicted
began on March IL and extended ovel
period of several days. He is {
native of Germany, and has been il
the service of the United States Army
in various parts of the United States
and in 1912 held a post at the Amer
lean Embassy in Tokyo, Japan.
Although the trial brought ou
numerous cases of disloyal and trea
sonable utterances, the specif
charges Chaplain Feinler was trie,
upon were disloyal, contemptuous an,
disrespectful language against tn
President and Brig Gen. J. P. Wiser
commander Of the Hawaiian Depart
ment, U. S. A.; attempting to caus
disloyalty in the military forces of tn
United States; upholding the sinking
of the Lusitania; asserting that tn
American troops in France we're
drunken lot and the scaffolds shoul
be erected in large numbers in Franc
to hang American soldiers for com
mitting atrocities upon the FrencI
population; for asserting that Libert
bonds should not be bought, and tina
those who did buy were "crazy."
The evidence brought out at tn
