BOTH MEN CONVICTED
Jackson (Minn.) Jury Finds A. C.

President OF Nonpartisan League and
Former Organizer Were Ac-
cused of Conspiracy.

Jackson, Mimi, July IA. C.
Townley president of the Nonpartisan
league, and Joseph Gilbert, former
organizer, were found guilty by jury
here on the charge of conspiracy to
teach disloyalty in violation OF the
Minnesota law. Neither Townley MOI
Gilbert showed emotion.
The jurors announced they took two
ballots. The first was nine to three
for conviction. The second was unani.
nous.
After receiving the verdict, Townley
made the following statement:
Judges and lawyers may quibble,
but in the court of public opinion the
common sense of the people will never
merely deny he is disloyal and be for.
hidden to prove by constructive testi
mony that he is loyal"
The defense asserted that speeches
by Townley and Gilbert. at mass meet
ings In Minnesota early In 1918, were
not disloyal in their references to the
war. These speeches were made the
basis of the indictment, together with
circulation of the Nonpartisan leagues
socalled war program, over Townley's
signature.
During the three-weeks' trial the de
fense has made repeated charges thai
the case is an outgrowth of efforts tC
injure the Nonpartisan league. Testi
mony along those lines and also testi
mony by Representatives James NJ

concerning the loyalty OF Townley ant
the league, was excluded by Judge L

ON ENGLISH SOIL
British Dirigible Completes Its
Return Voyage From the

Pulhan, Norfolk, England, July 16.--
rhe dirigible R-34 arrived at the air

from the British Isles to the United
States and return,
The R-34 poked her nose out of the
clouds northeast of the village and,
after circling the flying field three
times, glided gently to the ground and
ten minutes later was housed in the
dirigible shed. The voyage from Long
Island was without particular incident
and was completed in approximately
75 hours
Soon after daybreak 400 men sta
toned at the airdrome were awakened
to prepare for the landing. Lookouts
took position in towers and wireless
operators prepared to pick up mes
sages from the airship.
Shouts from those on the field greet
ed the first sight of the long gray body
low on the horizon. As the R-34 ap-
preached the field, she dropped from a
height of 5000 feet to 1000 feet.
When Major G. IL. Scott, her com.
mander, had manouvred the airship in
to position for landing, the water bal
last was released to steady her and a
rope was thrown from the bow. Eager
hands grasped the rope and the giant

Veto, 20 Short Of Required

Washington, July 15. - The house
failed to pass the agricultural appro-

the daylight saving law, over the veto
of President Wilson.
The vote was 247 to 1856, or % af-
frmative votes less than the required
two-thirds. One member voted pres

After the vote the bill was referred

Party Lines Broken.
Champ Clark and Claude Kitchin,
as well as many other democrats, vot-
ed against the president.
Chairman G. N. Haugen of the agri-
cultural committee said before the
vote was taken, If the veto was
not overruled, the president would
have to accept the political RESPONSE
bility for saving the plan, which
brought bitter opposition from the
farming districts.
Other Veto Before Committee.
Inc APPROPRIATIONS committee was
to consider the veto of the sundry
civil bill, because it did not carry
enough. in the presidents view, for
vocational work among soldiers.
Chairman j. w. Good stated he Is
willing to grant the increase OF from
S6.0O0,000 to sS,000,000 the president
desires. but insists on limiting the sal
aries of the board in charge of this
work Ii was believed the bill would
be again returned to the house with
such a provision.
A rider on the agricultural appro
priation bill, which was vetoed, would
have repealed the daylight saving Law
late in October. II the law stands un
changed, daylight saving will go int
effect in March. 1920, as heretofore.

Union Pacific Line President
Suggests Solution Of Pres
ent Problem.
CAPITAL IS PREPARED
Proposal includes as Fundamental
Principle Necessity Of Legislation
That viii Give Financiers a
Business Chance" aae

New York, July 15.-Suggestions to
members of congress for "a sound
solution of the railroad problem" by
Robert S. Lovett, president of the
Union Pacific railroad system, former
head of the division of capital ex.
penditures of the United States
Railroad administration, made public
here, included as a fundamental prin-
ciple the necessity of legislation that
will give railroad capital "a business
chance"
IF congress will enact the neces-
sary laws giving railroad capital a
business chance" declared Judge
Lovett, 81 believe that capital will
take business risk and the money
required to provide the requisite rail
road facilities for the future will be
forthcoming"
Lines Face Four Contingencies.
Mr.. Lovett said that, in his opinion,
the country is confronted with four
contingencies: Inadequate and poor
service, government ownership, fed
eral guaranty Of a reasonable return
upon railroad capital, or reasonable
rate-tixing by government agency
the latter providing consideration OF
the needs of traffic and the carrier
with the right of each carrier to keep
whatever profit II can make out OF
rates so established, by good man
! agement, good service. economy, wise
! investment and success in competing
| for business"
Regarding ratemaking, Judge Low
EFT maintained that the regulation pro
| vided by congress should require
that the rates be sufficient to enable
the carriers to provide the requisite
service and facilities, protect existing
4 investments and provide the new cap
ital necessary in the public interest,
as advocated by the Committee o
Railroad Executives and submitted t
the senate committee ON interstate
and foreign commerce
| Favors Federal Incorporation.
Judge Lovett, likewise, favors Ave
other features of the railroad commit
tees report as being remedial anC
wise as a national railroad policy,
namely: compulsory federal incorpor
alton, exclusive federal regulation o
securities and rates, the creation of {
department of transportation in tn,

would have power ito act Quickl.
and deal with emergencies" and modi
fication OF restrictions on railroa,
consolidation and provision for tn,
merging of lines when in the publi
interest.
Our railroad transportation sys
tem," he said, (which is essential.
national, should be rescued from tn
irresponsible and conflicting stat,
agencies, and brought under uniform
control and regulated in the nationa
interest. except as to strictly loca

not Define Intoxicants.

Washington, July 15.-The right of
congress to define intoxicating bev-

myer New York lawyer in testify

Mr. Untermyer told the committee
that neither under the wartime pro-

amendment could congress say that
any particular percentage of alcoholic

ment, he argued left this as ques-
ton of fact which could be determined
