Chicago, Jan. 7.-Final argument of
counsel was concluded today in the trial
of the five socialist leaders charged with
conspiracy to violate the espionage law.
The case will be given to the jury to
morrow morning after Federal Judge
Lands has instructed the body in re-
gard to the law involved in the trial.
: Assistant District Attorney Joseph B.
Fleming spoke for nearly four hours in
closing the arguments for the govern

length and declared that the prosecution
had clearly established that the defend
ants had conspired to violate the espion-
age law.

said "the red flag has no place IN our
government" the assembly was engulfed
in a storm of applause, probably the
greatest witnessed in that joint body in
years and. plainly indicating the patriotic
character cf the membership.
The governor asked for new laws or
amendments to existing laws upon nan
insurance, grading of oils, a general Tor,
est fire prevention law, herd law and
various other subjects of more or less
Importance.
The Joint assembly convened in the
hbuse at II n. m. with Lieut.. Governor
W. w. Mcdowell presiding. After calling
the body to order Mr.. Mcdowell adj
dressed it, saying:
"Mr. Speaker. Ladies' and Gentlemen OF

Senator Swanson, democrat of Virgi-
MIA, member Of the foreign relations
committee, interrupted to reply that the
resolution was to have sbeen considered
by the committee tomorrow, but that
the meeting was postponed because
senator's will be absent attending the
funeral of Theodore Roosevelt
The Virginia senator said that from
information in his possession, allied
troops, including about $500 Americans,
were sent into Russia to protect sup
plies and prevent Germany from estab-
fishing a submarine base in the vicinity
of ArchangcL The allied troops, he said,
Low number between $4,000 and 10000
men.
Senator LaFollette said that while
this might explain the sending Of troops
to Russia, he had information in his
possession which denied that the Russian
soviet government was prot German.
Il think the proof is overwhelming, =
be continued, "if it ever is permitted
TO come before the American people,
that the soviet government exerted itself
to enlist the sympathies and support of
the United States government to the end
that it might be strong enough to resist
the German government"

PLAIN AMERICAN
Vice President Marshall Will
Represent Wilson at Simple
Obsequies.

Oyster Bay. Jan. Theodore Roose-
velt will be buried here tomorrow as il
plain American citizen and not as a
former president of the United States,
in accordance with his own wishes. His
body will be laid to rest in plot of his
own selection in the village cemetery
not far from the Sycamore Hill which
he loved so well.
The only funeral rites will be the
simple Protestant Episcopal service. 1t
will be read by the rector Of the little
country church where he had worshipped
with his family. There will be none OF
the pomp and circumstance associated
with the passing of great men, but the
presence of Vice resident Marshall,
who will represent President Wilson,
General Peyton C, March, representing
the army, and Admiral C. MGR. WinsloW
the navy, will add to the ceremony the
dignity of the nation.
Governor Alfred E. Smith and leaders

Closest Friends to Attend.
A few of the noted men who were
Colonel Rooseyelt's closest friends have
been invited to the funeral. They in
clude Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and
Charles Evans Hughes. Another mourn
er will be William III. Taft, whose friend
ship Mr. Roosevelt had re-established
more than year ago. Senator Lodge

the morning with the family at Sycamore
Hill.

service, which will be conducted by Rev
George e. Talmage, who is to officiate al

Wilson Declares Country Has
Lost One of It's Most Pa
triotic Citizens.

Washington, JAM THE following
proclamation on the death of Theodore
Roosevelt was cabled from Paris today
by President Wilson and issued tonight
at the state department:
'tWoodrow Wilson, President of the
United States of America:
"a PROCLAMATION TO THE PEG
PIE OF THE UNITED STATES:
1T becomes my sad duty to announce
officially the death of Theodore Roose-
welt, president of the United States from
September IA. 1901. to March A. 1909.
which occurred at his home at Sycamore
Hill. Oyster Bay. n. Y. at 4:15 o'clock
in the morning of January 6, 1919. In
his death the United States has lost one
of its most distinguished and patriotic
citizens. who had endeared himself to the
people by his strenuous devotion to their
interests and to the public interests OF
his country.
"As president of the police board of
his native city, as member of the legis-
lature, and governor of his state, as civil
service commissioner, as assistant sec
retary of the navy. as vice president,
and as president of the United States.
he displayed administrative powers of a
signal order and conducted the affairs Of
these various offices with a concentra-
ton of effort and watchful care which
permitted no divergence from the line
of duty he had definitely set for him
self.
in the war with Spain he displayed
singular initiative and energy and dis
tingrished himself among the command
ers Of the army in the field. As presi-
dent he awoke the nation to the dangers
of private control which lurked in our
financial and industrial systems. 1t was
by thus arresting the attention and stlm-
ulating the purpose of the country that
he opened the way for subsequent nee
essary and heneficient reforms.
His private life was characterized by
simplicity, virtue and an affection
worthy of all admiration and emulation
by the people of America.
I'm testimony of the respect in which
his memory is held by the government
and people of the United States, do
hereby direct that the flags of the
White House and the several depart
mental buildings be displayed at half
staff for period of so days and that

Helena, JAN 7.-Opposition to the
creation of new counties by act of the
legislature was emphatically expressed
Nv Governor S. v. Stewart today in his
message delivered before the Sixteenth
legislative assembly in joint session,
thereby indicating to the supporters Of
the many proposed county division
schemes that they would have hard
Shedding in their efforts to put thru the
legislation necessary to the authorizing
of such divisions.
Among the first of the subjects taken
~ Nv the governor in his list of recon-
mendations was that of the report Of
the tax commission, the carrying out OF
which the executive explained was the
heaviest task to be taken up by the
legislature and he recommended that the
matter of taxation, revenues and ex-
penditures be given important consider
alton. He called attention TO the neces-
sity of revision Of the state law cover
ing the national guard and suggested a
state constabulary as means of hand

Toilette Of Wisconsin, republican, speak
ing today in the senate, criticised the
sending of American troops to Russia

of Russia is pro-German. He said a
mass of information with documents

and repeated efforts to present them to
the American government have been
without success.
II don't know how other senators

/ would be false to the people in my
state if I did not exhaust every means
within my power to ascertain definitely
and ultimately what right there is that

been sent upon and continued on such
an enterprise"

TWO BRITISH PLANS

TWO BRITISH PLANS
Two British plans of this ten
tative nature have been present.
ed-one by Lord Robert Cecil,
the other by Lieutenant General
J. C. Sn1uts of the war cabinet.
The French plan as formulated
by NJ. Bourgeois has also been
set forth, and these are being
compared by the American spec
ialists, who are preparing the
ground work for President Will
son.
Lord Gecirs plan outlines broad and
comprehensive plan of the league of ma
tions, but thus far it is in general terms
| and has not yet been reduced TO deflnl!e
terms Of enaetmen6 as iE would appear Ii
| the treaty. ),
General Shuts plan is along similar
| lines. but more general, and is mainly
a thesis ON the advantages of such a
| league of nations General SHUTS is the
| former minister of defense of the Union
| of South Africa, and will come here with
| the British prime minister, David Lloyd
George.
Favored by Americans.
Both of these plans are receiving care
| full study by the American authorities
and, it is declared, both are regarded IN
n most favorable light, though 1t stlll
remains to reduce the general prineipies
! to concrete terms.
| NJ. Bourgeois plan. embodying. the
French point of view, while general, also
| embraces Il number Of specific details,
I! including compulsory arbitration, restr1c-
| ton OF excessive armament, an lnterna-
| tional tribunal and series of sanctions
or penalties for enforcing observance OF
| the leagues decision. These sanctions
| include various diplomatic. judicial and
economic measures, whereby the united
nations may enforce their DEGREES.
The American viewpoint. as it is now
being formulated by the specialists as
the groundwork for the president. seeks
to reach an accord on fundamentals on
/ which all agree and present them IN sim
pie working form. One of the chief OF
| these fundamentals is the formation of a
| league which viii embrace all the nations
of the world. but not one which will es-
/ tablsh any balance OF powers among q
group of nations.
Also, care is being taken that the in
fluence Of the various nations In the
league would be in accordance with their
size aud Importance, so that the great
powers and the small powers would have
voices according to their standing.
international Trusteeship.
| Another feature especially concerning
small undeyeloped nations is to be es-
tablished, according to the American
plan-a system of international trustee
ship whereby the various larger nations
having developed and stable civilization
will act as trustees for the society of ma
tions in fostering the program and de-
velopment of the undeyeloped communal
| ties.
1t is recognized that the league Of ma
