Minneapolis, Minn., Dec.-(special)
The decision Of the United States
supreme court upholdinng the valid
ity ofsthe Minnesota sed1tion law in
the case Of Joseph Gilbert, former
Nonpartisan employee, means that q
Lacquer will go to jail for the first
time as result Of the intrigues of
big business interest in, the 1918
political campaign, Oliver S. Morris,
editor Of the Nonpartisan Leader,
said today.
To Continue Fight
In upholding the validity of the
state sedition law, the United States
supreme court did not pass on the
merits Of the case. The state su-
pren,e court has previously affirmed
the decision of the Goodhue county
district court and denied Gilbert q
new trial.
Business Men on Jury
Gilbert was convicted by jury Of
business men shortly before the pri-
mary election in 1918 Of making Sc.
ditious remarks in a speech at Ken.
yon,; MINI. He was sentenced to q
year in Jail and fined $500. The
states principal witness against Gil.
bert was a vaudeville actor. In ap-

IRELAND RAVACED
THRU INCENDAR|ES
AND CIVIL STRIKE
City of Cork Burning Is
Last Report In New
Story
LOOTERS TO BE SHOT
Many Disorders Result
AS Blaze Gains
Headway

Cork, ireland, Dec. 15.-IrA-
lands big cities may be ravaged
by fire from incendiary causes If
the present reight of terror now
existing here continues to spread
in its unabated fury. Civil strife
in the open between the public
and English soldiers is expected
to break out at any moment unless
the authorities are able to curb
the rioters within 1 few hours.
Shootings and killings are being
reported from all quarters and
the feeling is intense. Already
scores of the finest i business
blocks and public buildings here
have been totally destroyed by
flames.
= London, Dec. 15.-British regulars
stood guard today over twisted and
blackened ruins left by the fires which
swept virtually unchecked through the
city Of Cork, Ireland.
Hours of terror were spent by the
people Of Cork during Saturday night,
the widest disorders prevailing
thruout the city. It is said several
lives were lost, and dispatches de-
clare two brothers names Delaney
were called from their homes and shot
one of them fatally.
Two Districts Swept BY Fire
Two districts of Cork were swept
by the flames. In the business sec.
tion, along St. Patrick's street, from
Cook to Maylor, hardly shop was
left unscathed. This shopping center
of Cork in untroubled times boasted
many prosperous shops. South Of
st. Patrick's street the fire ran un.
controlled along Winthrop street and
other narrow thoroughfares as fa1
as St. George street. Thus an area
of three blocks in this part Of the
town was reduced to masses Of de.
bris.
It was not in this district, however
that the loss Of the fire was centered
The magnificent city hall Of Cork
located on the southern end Of the
Parnell bridge spanning the river Lee
was also laid in ruins. In addition
the Carnegie library, just across An
gleza street to the west, was burned
and the: Corn Exchange, just behind
the city hall and to the south, was
at. least partially destroyed. Re-
ports say Albert Quay, lying along
the southern bank Of the river, is 8
mass Of DISSOLUTION.
Looters Ordered Shot on Sight
Dispatches reaching London today
say that Cork was quiet and that or
ders had been given the regular sol
diers to shoot looters on sight.

OF Owners /

Nonpartisan leaguers in meeting
here Saturday afternoon, demonstrat-
ed that organization is losing none
Of its former stamina. Christ Levang,
Walsh county farmer and state soma
tor from his district, addressed the
meeting in the interests of the farm
ers and was warmly supported when
he proposed the new plan under which
the League will operate in North Da-
kota.
Giving the lie to intimations carried
In press organs opposing the Nonpar-
tisan. league, ,eMr. Levang did> not de-
clare A. c. Townley has passed out
Of the picture" in North Dakota and
reiterated previous statements that
he has made no such statement in his
speeches in various parts of the state.
He did announce, however, that with
the approval of the League member
ship, the formers body would here
after be entirely governed by the far
mers themselves thru an active ex-
ccutive committee elected by the lea
guers. "Mr. Townley," he said; "will
continue as president of the Nation
al Nonpartisan league" but the actual
operations and working forces will
be under direction Of the farmers of
the state working as one of the great
units Of the national body.
"A resolution approving the plan,
was endorsed unanimously.
The speaker pointed out in concise
terms the willingness of the organiza-
tion to cooperate with every farmer
and business man in the state to make
for a. better and greater state and
tor the alleviation Of the ills Of the
farmers and working masses, and in
vited affiliation with all forces.
That The: *Nonpartisan league is far
frolnsa dead issue and showing any
signs Of dwindling were strongly re-
futed, when at the close of the meet
ing, farmers hocked to the platform
70 redeem checks given by farmers for
membership and refused by Ramsey
county banks when presented for pay
ment but never pressed for collection.
Others subscribed membership fees
while. still others were on hand to
take up post dated checks.
One instance in the taking up Of
checks returned to the League mark
ed N. S.3F. (not sufficient funds) was
cited by a local citizen who declared
that at the time his check for men,
bership fees was presented to local
bank he had nearly 100000 on deposit
yet the bank refused payment.
Many other similar cases were report
Cd.
The meeting here followed one
Thursday. at EdmoEe largely attended
where the enthusiasm was even great
er than in Devils Lake and another
held at Lakota Friday. ''' !
According to Mr.. Levang, the Nom
partisan league is rapidly growing
stronger. One fact being borne down
upon is the wholehearted willingness
OF the organization to cooperate with
every interest for the betterment Of
the state and it's -worker-mer-
chant population.
