T0WN[EYP PLEA
Of CONSPIRACY
NOT ADM TED
Court Adds to Ruling 1t
Should Have Arrest
ed Counsel In Case.

Jackson, July 11.--Successful objec-
ton by the state attorneys to the intro
duction of evidence which the defense
charged would prove political frame
up against A. c. Townley ana Joseph
Gilbert charged with conspiracy to teach
disloyalty, and the appearance of a long
line of witnesses who asserted that
Townley's speech at Cambridge, Mimi,
February Is, 1918, was not unpatriotic,
marked the afternoon session of court
today.
Clarence F. Johnson, of Marine, Mimi,
who stated that he formerly was in the
employ of Charles Patterson of st. Paul,
alleged by the league to be head OF an
organization working against 1t. was not
allowed to testify, other than to say
that Mr.. Patterson was representing an
organization the name of which johnson
did not know.
When Attorney Hoke asked the wit
ness who comprised the organization
ham said:
There is no possible relevancy to this.
The defense repeatedly has referred TO
some organization opposed to the nctivl-
ties of the Non-Partisan league. II
there were dozen of them, it would
make no difference, so far as the IN
dictments against Townley and Gilbert
are concerned
The states objection was upheld.
Mr.. Patterson was in court, this af-
ternoon, waiting to be called as wit
ness for the defense.

Washington, July 11.-With the lift
ing Of the blockade against Germany,
tomorrow, trading between that country
and the United States as well as the
other associated powers will begin.
Acting Secretary of State Polk an
nounced, today, that blanket licenses
would be issued for transactions of
American firms and that details would
be given within 4S hours after decision
by legal experts as to whether formal
proclamation by the president will be
necessary.
Trading in all commodities, except
dyestuffs, chemicals and potash, control
over which will be exercised by the rep
arations commission set up by the peace
treaty will be UNRESTRICTED it was said
American firms doing business with
Germany must send their agents into
that country without passports, however,
as these cannot be issued until the
proclamation of peace. 1t also was said
at the state department that there was
no certainty when American consuls
would be sent to Germany.
Secretary Polk made it clear that re-
sumption of trade relations with Ger
the enemy act, nor was it to be taken
as meaning that the state of war was
at an end
Germany Needs Supplies.
Payment for the goods which this
country sends to Germany must be made
under system of credits to be arranged
later thru private capital, officials said
Details as to this system have not been
worked out. While Germany has large
quantities of goods ready to be exported,
officials doubted there would be any
great demand for them in this country
and, consequently, the trade balance in
favor Of the United State is expected to
be large.

BABIES LYING STARVING
AMONG HUNDREDS DEAD
IN ALASKAN VILLAGE

He described finding babies and young
children lying among the hundreds of
dead, weak and helpless from starvation.
The mortality. he said, was almost en-
tirely confined to adults, the children
apparently being immune to the infiu-
cnza. Lieutenant Leahy said the disease
was a modified form of Spanish influ-
enza, but that the natives seemed to have
no power of resistance. He attributed
this to other diseases prevalent among
the population and the unhealthy condi-
tions under which the natives lived.
The Marblehead left here June 4 for
Bristol Bay with doctors, nurses and
supplies.

denied by the japanese embassy here
and the state department.
Diplomatists pointed out, today. that
the published document bears no sigma
lures and no dates, and might have been
a memorandum prepared by some Ger
man official with the hope of converting
it into a treaty. 1t was stated officially,
today, that no evidence was at hand to
connect any responsible official of the
japanese government with the document.

SAYS HE Il BOLT
ENF0RC|NCb BILL
Brands 1t Most Infamous
Measure Ever Before
Congress.
M|LDER DRYS CHECKING
RAMPANT TYPE

Washington, July lf-Ouring five
hours debate In the house, today, on
the prohibition bill, the liquor traf-
fic Was Iikened to convicted GRIM
inal, appealing for reprieye, while
some Of the more drastic provisions
of the measure we're denounced as
an invasion Of the liberty, hospitali-
ty and habits of the home, even by
ardent prohibitionists.
1t probably was the last great day oi
prohibition or4tory in the house. Not al
of the twelve hours se- aside for generl
debate had been used at the close of an
all-day discussion, which ranged from 8
technical argument on constitutional
questions to straight stump speech for
prohibition and its enforcement.
Chairman Volstead, of the judiciary
committee, il. charge of the bill, and
Representative Igoe, democrat. of Mis-
souri,, leader of the minority, were un-
able to allot all the time desired By
members anxious to be heard There
were more demands than there was time
to give with everybody wanting a word
The speech making will continue tomor-
row but the house will not begin actual
work on the bill, section by section, un-
til Monday.
"DRYS" FIND 1T TOO DRASTIC
Again, today, ardent prohibition
lists declared tn ~ could not support
the enforcement bill because of its
provisions, and others contended
that ones congress defines intoxi-
eating liquors as beverage contain
ing 0ne-half of one per cent of al
cohol, the federal law for such en-
forcement cannot become effective
without concurrent action by tks
several states.
The principal 'dry" argument against
the measure, today. was made by Rep
resentative Moon. democrat. of Ten
nesee, who declared that, unless it was
materially amended. he would feel in
duty bound to vote against it, or else
express his disapproval By not voting at
all.
Worse Than Force Bill.
For % years, Mr.. Moon said. he had
stood uron the floor of the house and
upheld the cause of prohibit IN. but the
enforcement bill, which he characterized
as "impracticable and senseless as any
thing ever suggested" should be OPP
posed "because it is worse in all its fea-
lures than the infamous Force bill"
He declared congress was going be-
yond its constitutional powers in at

EXCHANGE RATE STIR MEXICO.

Mexico City, July 11.-Newspapers Of
this city print on their financial pages
records of foreign exchanges transac-
tions, showing that drafts on New York
were bought at fifty, or par at two to
one, for American dollars and sold at
40 SIS, which is less than two to one.
This, it was pointed out, is significant,
since during the last six months of 1918
the exchange rate hovered around 60,
which meant that the Mexican peso was
worth 60 cents in United States money,
instead of about fifty cents, its present
value

The president carried with him

LITTLE TALKS BY
BEATRICE FAIRFAX

The other day a correspondent
wrote me a delightful letter. l
would like to have several thou
sand copies Autographed and give
one to every bride of my acquain-
tance.
The original is too long for re-
production in this column and a bit
too confidential, but the gist of the
letter is that it is better to start
marriage with too little than too
much.
The lady went on to tell me some
thing of her married life, which has
now, very nearly reached the quar-
ter century mark. And among the
blessings that helped to make that
partnership a success. there was
you would never guess in thou
sand years-the mortgage on their
first home. She says: That mort
gage was the balance wheel that
prevented our flying off at separate
tangents. 1t compelled my husband
to forego the various extravagances
to which he had a tendency, and
of fads."
The writer was one of two girls
and her sister had made what was
regarded as a brilliant match, while
my correspondent became the wife
of a clerk in big firm. She mar
ried the man of her choice against
the wishes of her parents and they
contributed nothing in the way of a
nest egg.
The young man had five hundred
dollars and the bride got a present
of a thousand from q romantic
great-aunt, who was spurred to this
lavishness, apparently, by the gen.
eral opposition of the family. With
this fifteen hundred dollars the
young people made the first pay
ment on a five thousand dollar home
in the suburbs of "A big city.
There was college not far away
and the bride let out the superfiuous
rooms to bachelor instructors. She
did most of her own work till hel
first child was born, and after that
she managed with a laundress, a
