RUMORS ARE AFLOAT
In connection with the utilities bin
over which a heated controversy occur
red in the house last Friday some very
interesting rumors are afloat. They are
to the effect that because of certain
political differences the resignation OF
one of the members of the present COM
mission is highly desired. The man for
the vacancy. it is stated, has ALREADY
been selected and is said to be willing
to take the job.
The pending bill provides that the mem
bers of the commission must reside II

Trial of Townley
Upon Disloyalty
Charges Is Begun
Non-Partisan League Chief
Declared to Have Stood
for Draft Resistance
All Through Northwest
Special Correspondence

Special Correspondence
MINNEAPOLIS, June 26.-A. c.,
Townley, president of the National
Non-Partisan League, one of the most
remarkable men that ever appeared in
public life in the West, went on trial
to-day at Jackson, Mimi, charged with
conspiracy to commit disloyalty.
Townley and Joseph Gilbert,
former league organizer, during the
war addressed many Minnesota meet
lngs of the league and figured in sew
eral riots when the Minnesota Com
mission of Public Safety, operating
through county sheriffs, broke up such
gatherings on the ground that they
were disloyal.
To-day Alexander Seifert, court re-
porter, introduced the verbatim report
OF an address made by Townley at New
Ulm February 20, 1918. Evidence con-
cerning an address by Gilbert at Lake
VILE, Mimi, about the same time, which
resulted IN his trial and conviction of
unlawful assemblage, also was intro
duced
County Auditor Peter L. Mcclellan
testified that in many Minnesota coun-
ties in the last election if a man was
100 per cent loyal he did not get a
Non Partisan League vote. Others tes-
tilted that obstruction of the draft and
resistance to it were preached by Non
Partisan League men. 1t was said that
IN the German centres, there being
large German population in Minnesota,
the league was strong, and that it was
generally understood the league stood
for resistance to the draft
Townley men assert that when their
leader takes the stand later in his own
behalf a different story will be told.
They assert that under the guise of
loyalty the Minnesota Commission of
Public Safety broke up meetings of
farmers lawfully entitled to be held,
and they charge that politics and the
money interests opposed to the farmers
are at the.bottom of the case. \

North Dakota Voting
T,Uo to One Against
NOn-Partisar, Bills

FARGO, N. D., June 26.-Frst re-
ports of referendum election held to-
day in North Dakota on seven measures
of the Nonpartisan League, passed by
the last Legislature, show that the vote
so far received was almost two to one
against the measures.
The two issues which were kept to
the front during the campaign were the
acts authorizing a state bank of North
Dakota and the State Industrial Com
mission.
The industrial commission bill pro-
vldes for commission which would
control the state-owned industries au-
thorized by bills already passed. The
Bank of North Dakota would provide
funds for carrying out the general pro-
gramme. Five other laws being voted
upon deal with education, taxation,
state printing, emigration and judicial
redistricting.
The industrial commission project,
which has been bitterly assailed by
league opponents as "an unprecedented
Socialistic scheme" carries an appro-
priation of 100000 "to carry out pro-
visions" The commission constitutes
the Governor, Attorney General and
Commissioners of Agriculture and
Labor, "any two of whom shall consti-
tute quorum The commission is
authorized to manage certain indus
tries, enterprises and business prof.
ects."
All state, county and municipal funds
would be deposited in the Bank of
North Dakota.

Mexico Editorials
Put i'm Record of
Ford Libel Trial
Detroit Newspaper Men Aid
Chicago Tribune Defence
in Verifying Stories of
Pay Denied to Soldiers
Special Corresnondene.

Special Correspondence
MOUNT CLEMENS. Mich, June 90
In the trial of the libel suit brought
by Henry Ford against "The Chicago
Tribune" for million dollars much
time was consumed to-day in the read
ing of editorials on the Mexican situa-
ton, over the strenuous objection of
the defence.
A pretty verbal duel was staged be-
tween Perley Boone, city editor of
"The Chicago Tribune" and Attorney
William Lucking, of the plaintiff coun-
sci. Boone was closely questioned as
to just how large proportion of firms
in Chicago and elsewhere responded to
"The Tribune's" campaign to pay sal
aries or otherwise provide for employees
who were called to the border. The
object was to show animus on the part
Of THE Tribune" in singing out Mr..
Ford for attack when there might have
been others who would not provide for
their employees.
MIR. Boone was questioned more fully
regarding dispatches from P. Whitcomb
Williams. the Detroit correspondent of
"The Chicago Tribune" leading to the
first story, which said Ford employees
would lose their jobs, this dispatch
having been declared to have been on
the word of Frank l.. Klingensmith,
secretary of the Ford Motor Company,
and the reputation of the first dispatch
by Mr.. Ford, as quoted in another news
story in THE Tribune" three days
later.
John Fl. Dunnewind, assistant man
aging editor of "The Detroit Fsee
Press" and Fl. C. Walker, acting man
ager editor of "The Detroit Times"
also testified to the authenticity OF
Williams interview, having received the
practically the same report themselves
the same day the Chicago correspon-
dent interviewed Mr.. Klingensmith on
the subject.
On account of a severe injury to
Elliott G. Stevenson, of "The Tribune"
counsel, who wrenched his ankle Mon
day in an automobile accident, court
adjourned to-day until Monday.
Indications now point to the pos
sibility of Henry Ford himself being
recalled to the stand either the latter
part of next week or first part of the
week following. He will Undoubtedly
be called as part of "The Tribunes"
main case, instead of by his own at
torneys. While it has him on initial
examination, "Tribune" attorneys can
mitted by the court, and when once on
the stand Mr.. Ford will probably be
there for several days. Edsel Ford,
his son, also has been subpoenaed.
Another witness early next week will
be Clifford Raymond, writer of the
million Dollar Editorial" that branded
Mr.. Ford an Anarchist for his alleged
attitude toward the Mexican expedi-
ton. and the employees who left the
Ford plant for military service.

ent of Prisons Charles F. Rattigan,

Sing Sing, Father Cashin, the prison

Evers and others have surrendered.
They can't get rid OF Charles Ortner,

dwelt in the gray penitentiary on the
Hudson. All Of them have argued and
pleaded with him. but Charles won't
go. When the judge sent him up for
highway robbery in Kings County on
May 80, 1917, he sentenced him to from
two to four years. Charles insists on
staying the full four.
Never, Warden Brophy says, was
there better prisoner. So amenable

formed on November 80, 1918, that he
could get parole if he would apply
for it. Charles wouldn't apply, al

though Father Cashln, DR.. Squire and
Mr.. Evers all argued with him.
When the two years of his minimum
sentence expired Warden Brophy told
the man he was free. Charles dis.
agreed with him. He wasn't anything
of the kind. he said. He was going to
stay all four years.
He was hauled, protesting, before
the Parole Board, but he remained firm.
To-day Superintendent Rattigan argued
with him to no purpose. "I'm going to

capitulated.
Ortner has won. He is going to stay

"THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU
FREE"

A recently discharged sold er
went into civilian l;fe--and then
decided to return to the army.
His reason was that he found it
easier to talk the language.
He didn't say what language,
but after a few questions his po-
sition berame plain. In the army
they are less polite than they are
in civil lie. out they know each
other better. In civillife we are
civil. We rarely say what we
really mean. If we are invited
anywhere, and we don't want to
20 we don't say so. we merely
have a previous engagement. If
we are asked whether we like
something that the other fellow
likes, we say 'yes," even though
it gives us pain in the rhombo-
hedral gland.
We profess personal liking--ev-
en- enthusiastic affection for peo-
pie to whom we want to sell some
thing If we are made the re-
cipients of honey-favored over
lures. we feel a sinister suspicion
that we have been picked as pro-
spects.
It seems unfortunate that
any one should have to go into
the army to escape from this kind
OF thing. For many people it is
an excellent thing to be in the
army, but it is sad that there
should be no other environment
except. perhaps, the navy
where things are called by their
real names. Sincerity in these
two branches of public service if
natural; the members don't have
to sell anything to make a living.

At the end of July the supply
of creamery butter showed an
increase of 129 per cent against
the figures given for the same

was So cents pound. against the
former price of Al cents.
1t may be the fault of hoardinp
profteers, or. wage-boosting prof
iteers. or profiteering middlemen
The blame probaly rests on more
than one of the above groups of
sinners. We can hardly believe
that one group alone would dare
to be the sole cause of such ex-
tortion. ... ~
Whatever the cause. it seems
that the governments inquiry is

our ignorance. And as the blame
probably rests on more than one
mischievious agency. it it neces-
