WINTERS HELD
NOT GUILTY IN
COURTS AWARD
Mandan Man Charged With Sell
[ ing IntOxicants to Soldiers
l. Gets Directed Verdict
GANDELS ALL CO. FREE
Jury at s O'clock Tuesday Eve.
ming Finds Last of Three
Brothers Innocent

"Kid" Winters, we'll known Man
dan character, was awarded a directed
verdict in federal court this morning
following his trial on charge Of hav-
ing sold liquor to soldier in uniform
in the spring Of 1917, when state
troops, in federal service, were en-
camped at Camp Frazier, at the Bis
marck bridgehead Of the Missouri.
The defense proved that Winters had
not sold any intoxicants directly to
any soldier in uniform and that he
had no means Of knowing that any
drinkables which may have been pro-
cured through him were to be con-
sumed by soldiers.
The last of the Gandels was acquit-
ted by a jury verdict returned at 8
o'clock last evening holding Martin
Gandel, Mott line merchant, not guilty
Of conspiracy. This verdict piled up a
complete victory for the defense in
the famous Twin City car robbery
cases, in which it was alleged that
stolen merchandise of. the value of
100000 or more was shipped to various
points in western North Dakota.
Points Involving knowledge Of the de-
PENDANTS that the alleged stolen mer-
chandise had. entered. into. interstate
commerce were very technical, and the
courts rulings on the evidence held
strictly to the letter Of the law.
J. NJ. Sailer this morning pleaded
guilty to aiding and abetting G. G.
.Radeke and Fred Krause, Jr, in Sc.
curing transportation under false pre-
lenses. There are technicalities in
volved in this transaction, however,
which probably will result in an ap-
peal to the United States circuit court
of appeals. A charge of obtaining
transportation under false pretenses
preferred against Radeke and Krause
resulted in a plea of guilty.

ports That Newspapers on
Both Sides Are Liars

"Townley and his papers say I am
opposed to the economic program Of
the league stated Attorney General
LANCER today. "
"Townley knows better" continued
the leagues best vote getter.; Town
ley knows that l saved the league pro.
gram both before the canvassing
board and in the courts
Discussing the sTownley system Of
camouflage, Mr. LANCER said:
"Townley and his papers have never
told you that there are two printing
bills Bill No. 1853, which provides
for one legal newspaper in each coun-
ty and for the election Of the legal
newspaper by the people after the
next general election IS NOT BEING
REFERRED.
"The bill referred is No. 157, the
graft bill. This bill provides that for
the next 1S months three men at Bis
marck shall grab the power now pos
sessed by your board Of county COM
missioners and your other local au-
thorities, and designate the legal
paper in each county.
'If this bill passes it means that
not the farmers but Townley will con-
troll the legal newspaper in each coun-
ty for 1S months.
1T means that If your senator re-
fuses to bow down to TOwnley's will
at the next session that the following
morning in SO newspapers of the state
your senator will be called q traitor,
and an attempt made to discredit him
with the farmers
1T means the establishment Of a
domineering, autocratic and utterly
selfish control on the part Of Town
ley.
1T means the surrender on the part
Of the people Of the rights for which
their ancestors fought-a free press.
"The chamber Of commerce news
papers and the old gang papers have
lied-the North Dakota Leader. the
Fargo Courier News and other Town
ley newspapers have lied. The free
press, your weekly newspaper, is
about the only paper you can depend
upon. .,
"Vote mo- against the printing bill
It has absolutely nothing to do with
the economic program Of the league.
1t is graft measure, pure and simple,
and I, as attorney general, elected by
the farmers and the common people
Of the state, would be coward if l
let Townley and his outfit prevent me
from telling you the truth

CROWDS CHEER PRESIDENT
(By The Associated Press)

Brussels Wednesday,, June 49,
President and Mrs. Wilson, with King
Albert and Queen Elizabeth as their
guides, today saw the devastation WIS.,
tied upon Belgium. The first part of
their visit deeply affected the Ameri-
cans, not only Mr.. Wilson, but those
accompanying him. The second phase
was of an entirely different character.
In the forenoon almost no residents
were encountered. In the afternoon
the appearance of the president at
Ypres, Ostend and finally at Brus-
sells was made the occasions of DEM
onstrations that might have been ac-
corded conquering hero. With the
president and Mrs. Wilson were Mar
garet Wilson, Herbert Hoover and
Commander Baker.
No Ceremony at Train
There was no ceremonies at the
train other than the ordinary greet
ings and introductions. Through the
little station building which had been
elaborately decorated, the party moved
to a long line of cars and began its
trip through the devastated and yet
deserted country. From time to time
the calvacade halted to study some
piece of destruction that was unusu-
ally thorough. Brussels was reached
at 9:l5 tonight. Through cheering
crowds in the streets the president
was taken to the palace. where he was
presented to the members of the
household. He was tired of much
driving at necessarily high speed over
rough roads, and he retired early. His
host had planned a program for to-
morrow which will take up every
minute of his program.
Views Destruction
President Wilson began the second
day of his visit to Belgium by motor
ing to Charleroi with King Albert.
The king expected to show the Ameri-
can executive the destruction wrought
by the Huns in the mines at Charleroi
and supply him with documentary evil
dence of the wholesale and systematic
destruction practiced by the Germans.
Short Speech .u
The president and King Albert left
for Charleroi at 9 o'clock. On step
ping out of the palace this morning,
the president found several thousand
persons assembled there clamoring for
a speech. He responded with his first
public talk, which was confined to. q
few words. 81
"My friends" said the president,
Gin coming here personally l have
merely followed my own heart and the
heart of the American people toward
Belgium"
LITTLE INFORMATION ..
Paris, June 19.-While admitting
that it has little direct or comprehen-

man attitude toward the signing OF
the peace treaty, the American dele
cation to the peace conference is opti-
mistic in it's view Of the situation.
In common with peace conference cir
cles generally, the delegates are not
disturbed by newspaper reports re-
ceived here from Germany of an un-
friendly nature.
