 ''I and others were literally starv- ing" he said. ITO get something to eat I went to a swill barrel and tried to scrape the cold grease from it. A rock was thrown at me while I was there. I was near boys who were being beaten. But you dared not move your head, fer then you would get it.'
 Representative Royal Johnson, who served in France as an officer, chairman of the subcommittee, said he had understood some colonels committed suicide because of ill., treatment.
 Representative Dallinger (Rep., Mass.), said he had received many letters criticising treatment since he told of boy committing suicide after he was imprisoned. This story was verified yesterday by Boggs.

 Your Honor, the alleged libelous editorial in the Tribune referred to MT. Ford as an ignorant idealist.'' The questions are to show that he Is in fact ignorant, and if he is an rGeal- ist, and doesn't know the meaning of commonly used words, he is plain ly an ignorant idealist.''

 But this man sets himself up as an educator and wanted to go the United States senate.''

WOMAN EXPOSED GERMAN INTRIGUE
 WITH MEXICANS

An American woman. posing as a German subject. but in reality an agent of the United States Depart ment of Justice, brought about the exposure of German intrigue in Mex leo, according to stories printed in a Buenos Ayres newspaper.
 There has always been mystery !n how the United States found out how Germany was trying to effect an al- lance of the Fatherland. Mexico and Japan. and how it obtained the offi- nal papers that proved the undoing of won Luxburg and others, and ex- posed the plot to sink without trace" certain ships.
 The story now made public is cred itcd to a man intimately connected with the espiona ge work of the Unit cd States during the var. He also told how papers of Dr. Heinrich F. Albert, German financial agent in the United States. fell into the hands of this Government through Albert's fall ing asleep on a Third avenue "L" train. He forgot his portfolio. which was found by a newspaper messen- ger and turned over to Government agents.
 In the German-Mexican plot the starting point also was in New York. A German woman, who had
 
 stopped at the Hotel Astor, had Dutch passport and was under sus- picion. She communicated with Count won Bernstorff in Washington, and when she reached laredo, Tex. was halted. She protested she was a Dutch citizen on a diplomatic mis- sion and that she was going to be- come secretary to German Minister von Eckhardt in Mexico City. She was detained nevertheless.
 In a short time a woman carry ing the Dutch passport appeared In Mexico City and became von Eek hardts private secretary. She was one of the trusted agents of the De- partment of Justice. and through her the Zimne erman notes were soon in the hands of Washington officials
 As to the von Luxburg case, the new story is that the facts came through a woman who acted inno- gently. A German Buenos Ayres le- gation employee came to the United States in 1917, using the name of "Wilson." In San Antonio, Tex, his sI''tcase was found In possession of a woman in whose room 1t had been left. In it were spurious passports and code keys that enabled the fed eral agents to decipher the Luxberg mssages sent through the Swedish Legation

BOSTON JUDGE MAKES RULING
 ON 2.75 BEER

Boston, July 16-The decision of Federal Judge Anderson in this city yesterday in the Petts-Vogel case, all lowing the sale of non-intoxicating z beer was received by liquor dealers with satisfaction, as 1t put squareIy up to the government the necessity of proving that all drinks forming the basis of arrests, contain a suf- hcient amount of alcoholic content to cause intoxication.
 Just how this will be done, 1t is be- lieved, has not yet been determined by Assistant United States Attorney by Assistant United States Attorney Lewis Goldberg, although 1t was suggested last night that it might be through the testimony of expert wit nesses. My. Goldberg himself de- clared ha the ruling of the court ne- cessitated that each case be tried on Its merits before a jury.
 The issue, also, 1t was intimated, cannot be tried out before fall, unless jurymen be specially empanneIled, this being the vacation season for the courts. Such a course, it is de- clared that tho ruling of the court ne-
 However. if Congress enacts a law declaring beer containing more than 1-2 Der cent alcohol as intoxica ting,
 
 changed.
 The question before Judge Ander- son and on which he made his find ing, was the everything or the sus- taining of the demurrer filed by coun- sel for Sanford F. Petts and Leopold H. Vogel, who had been arrested on the charge of selling beer containing at least 1-2 of l per cent of alcohol. The issue was simple, namely wheth- CT or not the selling of any kind of legal. It had nothing to do with the matter of how small a percentage of alcohol will cause intoxication, wheth- CT 2 3-4. or even per cent. At torney R. c. Dodge, for the defend ants, argued that the word other used in the act prohibiting beer vinous liquors had a plain reference lows, and that, therefore, beer to be prohibited must be intoNicating.
 "Tf Congresh had intended to pre- vent the sale of all beverages. whether Intoxicating or not" he said, 'it would have said so beyond question. There Is a very sweeping provision in the bill against tIe importation of intpxi- eating liquors and 1t has never been contended that non-intoxicating liquor cannot be imported. Hence it Is not reasonable to assume that Congress intended to be moro severe in the use of Hquors at home" He asserted that the President himself had construed the act as not applying to nen-intox- tcating lQuorA

ISLANDER SUIT BROUGHT
AGAINST SENATOR
JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS

The Friends of Irish Freedom of
Washington have entered suit for $780,
900 against Senator John Sharp Will
liams of Mississippi, who took excep-
tion to resolutions forwarded by the
Washington branch of the society to
the President and Congress, urging de-
feat of the League of Nations because
Ireland was not recognized, and COM
pared the campaign of American sym
pathizers to that Of pro- Germans.
The letter in question reads:
II have the communication which
you sent to the President and men,
bers of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee. As we'll as can make It out,
you are suffering from sort of form
of dual allegiance to.wit, allegiance
to the United States, your adopted
country, and to Ireland, your native
country; and led on by that dual allie
glance you wish to make cats paw
out of the Government of these United
States to pull these chestnuts out Of
the fire for ireland.

do that too, when this war started,
only they wanted to pull out the chest
nuts for Germany. My answer is,
Nay, Nay, Pauline"

Rosa F. Downing of the committee

in return for helping America to pull

DEATH OF A PIONEER RESIDENT
OF TWIN CITIES, MRS ELIZA.
BETH BEACH

BETH BEACH.
Mrs. Elizabeth Beach, widow of the
late Louis Beach, died at the home of
her daughter Mrs. Stolzman, No. 1891
Blaisdell avenue, Minneapolis last
week, and was buried in Lakewood
cemetery. Mrs. Beach had lived in
st. Paul for more than sixty years and
was member of the Old Settlers
Association, which included in it's
membership the late Archbishop Ire
land and Mr.. James J. Hill. Indeed
she was a resident of st. Paul long
before the coming of either of these
distinguished personages. At the time
of their arrival she and her husband
were struggling with the pioneer con-
ditions to raise their little family, the
Indians being one of the factors to
be reckoned with. Some of the bad
ones she humored and converted into
good neighbors because of her happy
faculty of adapting herself to the sur
rounding conditions and because of
her cherry and benevolent disposition.
Few of her old time friends and asso-
ciates, among whom she was univers.
ally esteemed, now survive.

such as had been accorded few men on
their arrival for the first time in Butte;
he closed the meeting at the park with
the immense crowd cheering him
again and again. At each declaration
of the cause of freedom the crowd
rose to it's feet and cheered the speak
er to the echo.
If America leads the way in the
cause of Irish freedom, there will be
an end of autocracy the world over"
he said, because the people will then
have recognized the true principle of
lasting peace-a government of the
people. Then, and only then, can a
league of nations be established, be-
cause such league will be just, and
the question of equal rights among
nations will be adopted"
AS President De Valera started his
address, the crowd which had gathered
in the grand stand, filling it to capac-
ity, closed up around the speaker on
the stand. A strong wind blowing
made it difficult to hear, but at each
mention of Irish freedom the audience
broke forth in cheering such as had
never before been heard at mass meet.
ings in Butte. Throughout the pro.
gram, they listened attentively to the
speaker, ready to applaud every tell
ing remark.
When the party arrived at the park
the grand stand was crowded and the
space in the park was filled with au-
tomobiles. Many had gone there as
early as 6 o'clock to get good loca-
ton where they could be able to hear
the speakers. They waited until 8
O'Clock, when the program started.
But no one was heard to complain
about standing in the park so long,
and when the last address had been
finished they departed regretfully.
