PROSECUTION
NEARS END IN
T.|'0WNLEY | CASE
War Program of Nonpartisan
League introduced as
Evidence
DEFENSE PREPARES CASE

Jackson, MINI, Juy 1.-Shortly be-
fore a recess was taken until nine
o'clock tomorrow in the trial of A. C.
Townley and Joseph Gilbert, the
prosecuting attorney announced it ex-
pected to complete it's testimony by
tomorrow noon. .r
The war program of the Nonparti-
san league drawn up nearly two years
ago in St. Paul was introduced as ev-
idence this forenoon at the trial of
A.. C. Townley, president of the Ma
tional Nonpar3isan league, and Jo-
seph Gilbert.
The Minnesota supreme court some
time ago decided that the words used
in the pamphlet which had been dis
tributed by the Nonpartisan league
were not in themselves disloyal. The
prosecution in the case argued they
would attempt to show that this
method. was one used to discourage
active participation in the war Judge
Dean ruled after attorneys for de-
fense objected to the introduction of
the pamphlet, that the document had
been referred to at the trial and
might be introduced.
League Platform.
"The contributory causes of the
present war NE tious, but above
the horrible slaughter looms the ugly
incisement of an economic system
based on exploitation. 1t is largely q
convulsive effort of the adroit rulers
Of warning nations for the control OF
diminishing market. Private mon
opoly must be supplanted by public
administration of credit, finance and
natural resources"
1--WE declare uneQuivocably that we
stand for our country right or wrong
as against foreign governments with
whom we are actually engaged In
war. We believe that when we be.
lieve our country wrong we should
endeavor to set her right"
After the pamphlet was introduced,
j.. "A. Sales, was called to testify re-
garding the speech Gilbert made at
Lakefield on January %, 1918. His
testimony was about the same as that
of half dozen other state witnesses
who previously testified.
It was expected that recess would
be taken at noon until p. M, so that
some of the court officials may at

TWO CENT
POSTAGE
IN EFFECT

& There 10 some misunderstand-
ing as to the postage regulations
effective today. Two cent stamps
are restored to the pre.war basis.
The one-cent stamp has alt ito
pre-war prerogatives also. Sealed
letters for city delivery must
bear two cents as Of yore. Some
people got the impression that
one cent would carry their local
letters. a- ..
Another point to be impressed
upon tho public is the fact that
there can be no exchange Of
stamps. The postoffice depart.
mont will not take back your
"three-centsrs" and give you ones
and twos. Just hold them for
parcel and excess postage.

TRUCK DRIVERS

HIGHWAY BOARD

The state highway department is
asking for applications from motor
truck drivers who can take charge of
the several hundred army trucks as.
signed to this state for highway
work. A number of the trucks al
ready have been delivered at Bis

A half-dozen applications have been

drove motor trucks in France, and
there will be places for several score
more when all of the trucks are re.

WASHBURN MAN
SHOOTS WOMAN
HE HAD LOVED
After Appearing Against Mrs.
Graham in Divorce Suit,
Carson Makes Attack
ASSAILANT BADLY BEATEN
Son of Victim Wrests Gun From
Would-Be Slayer-Recover
Seems Doubtful
ASSAILANT BADLY BEATEN

After appearing against her In q
divorce suit which resulted in ver-
dict for her husband in the Mclean
county district court at Washburn
last week, Bob Carson of Washburn
forced his way into Mrs. J. H. Gra-
hams home in south Bismarck on
Monday evening and, finding her in
the back yard, he drew revolver
and shot her three times before the
wounded WOman's son could wrest
the gun from Carson.
Carson, who seems to have once
been a close friend, presented himself
at the Graham home early Monday
evening. When denied admittance
by Harry Barker, Mrs. Graham's son
by her first marriage, Carson, it is
alleged, forced his way past the
young man, rushed through the
house to the rear and there attacked
Mrs. Graham with a. 3S revolver.
Following the shooting Carson was
overpowered and the gun taken from
him, and a police call was sent in.
When Officer Randall of the city
force and Sheriff Welch reached the
scene they found Mrs. Graham un-
conscious from her wounds and Car
son with his face beaten almost to a
pulp as the result of rough handling
which he had received from Barker
and Amos Alison, a neighbor. Carson
was removed to the county jail,
while Mrs. Graham, in serious con-
ditiOn, was taken to hospital. She
was shot once through the shoulder
and through one arm, and a third
bullet lodged in her neck. ...
Recently Divorced.
Mrs. Graham's husband secured a
divorce in the Mclean county dis
trict court last week. Seen in his
cell at the county jail last night,
Carson, in very much subdued
frame OF mind, stated that he had
testified for Graham, having been
subpoenaed by the latter. He stated
that he had known Mrs. Graham
from childhood, their friendship be.
ginning years before her first mar
riage, when she was Miss Eva
,Webber. s..r
4s.Well, it's done,' said Carson, a
picture OF repentant woe, MS race
swollen and battered, and his cloth
ing blood streaked. II don't know
why i did it. I'd have been all right
If she'd have let me alone. l just
lost control of myself. It's done; it
can't be helped"
Bought Gun Here.
Questioned by Sheriff Welch, Car
son admitted having purchased the
gun "at little store here" "Why
did you buy it," Sheriff Welch ask
ed. "Well suppose to use,"" was
the reply. "To shoot Mrs. Graham
with" "No, not for that" declared
Carson.
Upon Mrs. Graham's recovery,
which seemed doubtful last night,
will depend whether Carson faces a
charge Of murder in the first degree
or merely one of assault with intent
to commit murder in the first degree.

A WAIT DISQUALIFICATION
When Effective Present War
time Prohibition Is Re.
pealed Automatically
A w AIT GENERALIZATION

washington, D. c., July 1.-The
whole nation awoKe today to a reali.-
alton of prohibition. The banishment
OF the eye.opener at the bar, long ago
forgotten in many parts of the coun-
try, was all-embracing. Only those
who had been provident enough to
stock up before the beginning of the
drouth or who could gain solace from
2 3-4 per cent brew were able to
start the day with the age.honored
bracer. '..,
Pending the decision of a suit
brought to determine whether beer
containing 3-4 per cent alcohol Is in
toxicating, no action will be taken to
stop the sales of lighter drinks in
states in which there are no regu.
latory laws, until January 16, when
constitutional prohibition becomes ef-
fective. Other than this the only
ray of comfort left the anti-prohibi-
zionist is the coming of the time when
Pres. Wilson will declare the demob-
ilization of the army complete, which
would automatically suspend the op
GRAFTON Of wartime prohibition luntil
January 16.
The celebration of the passing Of
whiskey continued until an early hour
this morning, although sales of liquor
generally were stopped at midnight
We purpose to make immediate
arrests of persons who violate the
wartime prohibition law according to
our Interpretation thereof" Attorney
General Palmer said today. g..
"The department does not intend,
however, to be swept off its feet the
first day that prohibition comes into
effect. We will proceed in an order
ly fashion to establish whether intox-
icating beverages described within
the law include those containing less
than 2 3-4 per cent alcohol"
| While there remains question as
to whether '3-4 per cent alcohol Is
intoxicating, the department will not
make wholesale arrests, but If the
trial Of the suit at Baltimore results
favorably to the goyerumen mt, prosecu-
tions will begin at once and will be
1 vigorously.
Test cases on the sale Of beverages
will be brought immediately by the
Department of Justice in all jurisdic-
tions where such cases are not now
pending.
