TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WireJ

CHICAGO, July 12-Its first victory in the trial of William Bross Lloyd, millionaire member of the Communist Labor party, and 19 others was claimed by the state today as a result of the ruling of Judge Hebed that activities of the defendants prior to the passage of the Illinois sedition act could be utilized as evidence. They are charged with conspiracy to advocate the over throw of the government.
 On the opening statement for the state, L. D. Heth, assistant states at torney, reviewed alleged acts of the defendants. He declared an attempt was made to enforce ideas, which, he said, were promulgated in soviet Rus sia, in Seattle and Winnipeg by general strikes. He charged that Lloyd openly had said that to attain the ends of the, communists, the government must be overthrown by force of arms. The court granted a request by the defense, to defer it's opening statement
 J. A. Zinman of New York, short hand reporter: q. J. Brown detective sergeant of the New York city police department, and Nathan Elkin of Brooklyn, a printer were the first wit nesses called by the prosecution. Their testimony dealt principally with their knowledge of the activities of the Left wing conference held in New York in June, 1919.
 William s. Forest of the defense counsel objected to the admission of the Revolutionary Age, official organ of the Left wing. as evidence. The motion was sustained as to all articles appearing in the publication except that entitled Left Wing Manifesto It dealt with the communist activities. hopes and desires. Later it was read to the jury.
 c. F. Cummerow, speciaf~ agent of the department of justice testified as to the proceedings of the Communist Labor party in September, 1919. He pointed out eight of the defendants, including Max Bedacht of San Fran cisco, who he said, were present.
 The Illinois sedition act, under which the defendants have been indicted provides that 1t shall be unlawful for any person openly to advocate the overthrow of the government by viol- ence' or force of arms.
 For violation of the first several sec tions of the act, a person would be deemed guilty of a felony and punished by imprisonment for not less than ten years. Viloation of lesser parts of the act are punishable by a fine of not less than $500. or more than $1, 900. or by imurisonment for six months to a year, or both.

 Oats finished at one cent decline to ssc advance and provisions varied from 15c off to a rise of 20 cents.
 Word came that there was sufficient black rust infection through eastern South Dakota, all of Minnesota and the eastern edge of North Dakota to produce a. severe epidemic. With Knowledge of the widespread ruin that the plague has sometimes inflicted, the grain trade was much inclined to ac- cept an opinion given by a leading au- thority that a serious condition as to spring wheat was likely to develop in two weeks. The scare sent corn values up in sympathy, but toward the last the visible supply statement tend ed to force q reaction. It was also denied that as yet there was any black rust in the northern districts, where most of the spring wheat is raised.
