LANSING UP AGAINST IT.
Denial Must Come or Cabinet May Be
involved.

Washington, Sept. t16.-Secretary OF
State Iansing's condemnation OF the
peace treaty, quoted by William Bullltt
to the foreign relations committee last
Friday, has dealt the league or ma
tions covenant so severe n blow that
speculation here revolves about what
President Wilson will do about 1t.
The question \uppermost in the dls-
cusson Is whether Mr.. Lansing Will
deny the truth of the statements or
Bullitt. who quoted the secretary as
expressing the opinion that the Amerl- :
can people would reject the treaty II
they 'knew what it let them in for
Mr.. Lansing was given an opportun-
ity to deny the assertion. He declined
to make any comment If Mr. Lansing
does not repudiate Bullitt. the question
will be whether he can remain MEM

That Secretary Lansing was not
pleased with tho treaty was recos-
nized from the testimony he gave pc
fore tho foreign relations committee
and from his speech at tho American
Bar Association recently.

TOWNLEY AND GILBERT
SENTENCED TO JAIL


ed For Sed.tious Utterances-Leaeu
and Its Methods Scored by Judge,
Who Says Organization Will Not
Endure.
jackson, Mimi. Sept. ia. &.
Townley president of the National
Nonpartisan League and Joseph Gil
bert, former organization manager,
were sentenced to three months in the
Jackson county Jail here today by
Judge E. G.. Dean, without alternative
of fine. Townley and Gilbert were con-
victed here July II on a charge or con-
spiracy to teach disloyalty.
Judge Dean granted a stay Of SEN
tence of sixty days at the request OF
the attorney for the defense on their
original bail. In passing sentence
Judge DEAN 1assaiIed Townley and the
Nonpartisan League and declared any
organization built on falsehood will not
long endure"
Judge Dean read a long review OF
the trial and comments upon the case
which had been printed in Nonpar-
tisan League papers and other publica-
tions. He eXcoriated Towntey, his
publicity staff and George Hoke, chief
counsel for Townley and Gilbert, and
declared the. statements attacking the
integrity Of the court and jackson
county officials ',were absolute false
hoods"
"Never in the history Of the jury
system was a more honest or impair.
tial jury impaneled in any criminal
case,' said Judge Dean. 1T is an out
rageous shame and injustice that any
person who was present and saw thi,
farmer Jury should be so low and con-
temptlble as 10 accuse these men OF
dishonesty or unfairness.
1T Is true the Nonpartisan League
publicity bureau having enormous
sums Of money, has been exceedingly
active in carrying on the most vicious
propa ganda of falsehood and misrep-
resentation and garbled facts in ref
erence to the trial that has been
known to modern journalism. It ap-
pears that no one connected with the
trial was pure and undefiled except
the defendants and those associated
with them.
"Therc is one thing in reference to
this trial about which the court is
grieved to speak and that Is in refer
ence to the conduct in open court of the
chief counsel for the defense. The court
tried to accord every courtesy to the
defense and ovcrruled many well~taken
objections by the state but in the face
of these things, every way that could
be devised was employed by counsel
Of defendants to take advantage Of and
frritate the court. 1t would almost be
a miracle IL the record does not contain
some errors"

years ago, the damage in Corpus

rife gale from the east and by the
violence Of the gale itself.

to ruin crops and wreck buildings.

Honolulu. Sept. 16.-The United States
has asked the Japanese government To
fix a definite date for the return OF
Kiau Chau, according to advices re-
eeived here today by Japanese daily
newspaper. The cable added that the
Japanese government had not answer
cred the request.
Jqpan's answer would have an
important bearing on the senate's de-
liberations on the peace treaty.
Administration supporters felt that a
definite announcement by Japan set
ting date for the return of Kiao Chau
would go far to remove that point.
Japanese officials have stated that q
return would be made but no time was
set.
Officials here in the absence Of
President Wilson and Secretary Lam
sing will not comment on the report
that the United States has asked Japan
to set definite date for the return Of
kiau Chau to China. The general i'm
preston is that the report is well
founded.
