DRAFT EVADER TO
IOIN COUSIN IN
MILITARY PRISON
David Goertzen, Wealthy Ne
braska farmers Son, Loses
Fight for Freedom.

David D. Goertzen, draft evader
and farmer of Henderson, Ncb., was
denied the right of civil trial by
Federal Judge Woodrough yester-
day morning and will join his
cousin, John B. Goertzen, who is
now serving three years in Leaven-
worth for deserting from the army.
Both men were convicted by court
martial in Fort Omaha two weeks
ago. Attorneys for David instituted
habeas corpus proceedings to pre-
vent his being taken to the Leaven-
worth prison. His brother was
taken to the penitentiary before he
had a chance TO seek any recoula>
in civil courts.
The men were found guilty of
evading the service by remaining in
Canada after being notified of their
call into the army. They promised
draft officials that they would re-
turn. Both men are sons of wealthy
farmers and are Mennonites.
The government was represented
by 1t. Col. Henry Stiness, judge
advocate at Camp Dodge, and As
sistant United States District At
torney Frank Peterson. William
Schall and Frank Howell were at
torneys for Goertzen.
The chief point raised at the
hearing was whether Goertzen was
notified of being inducted into the
army.
Judge Woodrough ruled that
Goertzen had ample time to report
for duty and was given the GUS
tomary notice of induction into the
service.
Army officers from Fort Omaha
were to take Goertzen to Leavei.-
worth yesterday. Attorney Schall
said he is undecided whether an ap-
peal will be taken to the circuit
court. He said this is the first case
OF this kind tried in Nebraska.
David Goertzen was married just
one year. His wife and 3-month-
old baby and father-in-law were i'll
the court room.

Action Follows Telephone
Communication With Berlin
Reichstag Leaders-Take Up
Question of Prosecutions.

Spa, Belgium, July 9,-(By The
Associated Press.)-Germany's dele
gates signed at HAS o'clock this
an engagement accepting
the terms of the allied note relative
TO disarmament presented yesterday.
This action was taken under pro-
test by the German representatives.
The allied not demanded that the
Germans accept the terms presented
by noon today, and stipulated that,
if the Germans failed to carry out
the provisions of the demands, al
lied forces would occupy parts of
Germany.
Decision Unanimous.
The Germans protested that the
Versailles treaty did not oblige them
TO acquiesce in further territorial oc-
cupations except for failure to full
fill the treaty terms regarding rep
arations.
The German cabinet unanimously
decided to obey the allied demand
carly this morning. The vote was
taken after a telephonic communi-
cation with reichstag leaders i'll Ber-
lin
The German protest was submitted
i'll writing. In it the delegates denied
authority to consent to occupation
of German territory except as pro-
vided for in the treaty of Versailles.
When the German delegates in
formed the conference that they
were not empowered to agree to
allied occupation if the disarmament
conditions were not fulfilled, Pre-
nier Lloyd George, as spokesman,
said:
Warned of Intentions.
we do not ask your agreement
to the penalties we reserve the right
to take in case of nonexecution O..
your engagements. We simply war;

may expect if you do not disarn
under the conditions specified. To
these conditions we ask your &C.
ceptance so as to adopt them with
common accord. To sum up pen
alties are for the allies alone, while
we are making disarmament two
sided matter"
The conference took up the ques-
ton of German prosecutions of
the war guilty Immediately after
the disarmament protocol was
signed, but soon referred the mat
ter to experts for Qualification OF
certain details which it was expected
would be completed this afternoon

cellor and minister of justice, tolo
bow he had begun preparations for
the prosecutions, but had encoun-

COX Way START MEXICAN STATE
his CAhH?A|GN IN OF CKIAPAS IN
WESTERN STATES OPEN REBELLION
North Dakota Men Urge Gov
ernor to Spaek at An
nuaI Corn Festival
California Active.

Dayton, O., July 9.-That the
west may be developed into one Of
the chief battle grounds early in
the national political campaign was
the inference drawn from today's
developments here.
Governor James NJ. Cox, demon
acratic candidate for president,
stated that many requests that he
open the campaign in the west have
been received and i his talk with
newspaper men. the gocvrnor left
the impression that he, at least, was
interested i'll the proposition OF an
carly invasion for the west, if not in
fact favorable to it. He stated,
however, that capmaign arrange
mcnts are i'll the hands of the ma
tional committee and that he could
say nothing definite until he has
conferred with the committee.
W.. w. Blain, president of the
Corn Palace, Michel, S D., headed
delegation that called on the gov
e5nc. today, urging him to accept
an ins itation to speak at the festi-
val, the dat of which is September
27, to October !. Charles E. Nor
ris, the governors private secre-
tary, telegraphed from San Fran
cisco that he was being beseiged
by California delegations uring that
the campaign be opened in that
state. Mr.. Morris told the govrnor
that California democrats are cer-
tain they ca ncarry the state for
him.
Considerable interest now is cen
tcring in the conference of the ma
tional committee with the governor
July 20. 1t has not been definitely
established whether the meeting will
be held at the governors home at
Trails End or in Columbus but the
governor said he would wire Chair
man Cummings that the plans made
for the committee meeting here
seemed satisfactory to him. The
date and place of holding the official
notification ceremonies are expected
to be determined at the conference,
Governor Cox intimated that some
time between August IS and 20
would be satisfactory date for the
notification.
The fact that Franklin D. Roose-
welt has stopped over for a 24-hour
rest at Glenwood Springs, Colo.
makes it probable that he will not
reach Ohio for conference with his
running mate before Mandoy. In
such case, the governor said the con-
ference probably will take place in
Columbus as he expects to go there
Monday to look after matters of the
executive office.

Republicans Plan to Establish
Campaign Headquarters in
San Francisco to Look After
Pacific Coast States.
ELMER DOVER, TACOMA,
WILL MANAGE AFFAIRS
Work at Chicago Much Farther
Along Than in Previous
Years-Harding Prepared to
Make Speeches if Necessary.
By D. F SULLIVAN.

Chicago, July 9.-There will be no
repetition this year of the "blunder
of 1916 when the republican CAM
paign managers went to sleep cleo
tion night. satisfied of victory, to
awaken the next day to find Califor-
nia had gone for Wilson and that
Hughes had been defeated in the
surely republican" states Of the far
west.
This was assured today when an
rcuncement was made at the repub-
lican national headquarters in Chi
cago of plans for the establishment
OF republican national headquarters
in San Francisco This headquar-
ters will conduct the republican cam
raign in the Pacific coast states and
will be given as much attention as
either the eastern headquarters in
New York or the middle west head
quarters in Chicago.
Elmer L. Dover, who learned poll
tics as private secretary of the late
Marcus A. Hanna and was secre-
tary of the republican national COM
mittee during the 1904 campaign,
will be stationed at the San Francis
CO headquarters. Mr.. Dover, for
mer Ohioan. now makes his home
i'll Tacoma. Wash. His title will be
regionna campaign director.
Several Men on Hand.
Raymond Benjamin, who has been
in charge of headquarters in San
Francisco as regional assistant to the
chairman of the republican national
committee. will continue in that ca
pacity and will be associated with
Mr.. Dover i'll the management of
Pacific coast affairs. Several men,
bers of the republican national COM
mittee from the Pacific coast and
Rock mountain states, including
John w. Hart of Idaho and Ralph
+. Williams of Oregon will be at the
San Francisco headquarters.
Chairman Will Hays will wind up
his conferences with middle western
leaders i'll Cricago tomorrow and
leave for Marion, Ohio, where he
will confer with Senator Harding. 1t
IS probable that he will go east from
Marion, returning there July p. the
day set for the notification of The
presidential candidate and will then
return to Chicago.
Work Will Advance.
Mr.. Hays leaves the work of The
Chicago headquarters we'll under
way and much farther advanced than
it has ever been before at this time
Of the year in a presidential cam
paign. The organization which Mr..
Hays started two years ago is now
on high speed and is ready for any
kind of campaign activities.
Among the questions which Mr..
Hays will probably discuss with Sen
ator Harding at Marion is that of the
front porch" campaign. In spite of
the objections of Ohioans there is
no present disposition to depart
from the front porch campaign
idea for the present. The campaign
managers are now committed to the
idea, however, and if at any time
they deem it necessary for Senator
Harding to make an important
speech in some big city he will be
prepared to do SO. They are even
prepared for series of such
speeches, but there will be no
transforming" tour by the candi-
date with rear-platform speeches.

\. C. |. WORKERS
SPENT Time IN
HELPING PALMER
Government Employees Used
Peoples Money in Boosting
Attorney General, Wit
ness Says.

St. Louis, Mo-. July 9.-Charges
that persons employed through the
attorney generals Office ostensibly
to aid in reducing cost of living.
really were working to have A..
Mitchell Palmer nominated for presi-
dent at the democratic national con-
vention, were made before the senate
committee investigating presidential
campaign expenditures today by Miss
Olivia Brueggeman.
Miss Brueggeman formerly was
executive secretary of the Missouri
women's committee to reduce the
high cost of living.
Miss Brueggeman said workers
supposed to address meetings on the
high cost of living actually spoke
only on Palmer, telling what fine
man he would be for president"
These workers frequently travelled
at government expense, she declared.
II was dismissd from my office
because l was republican," she said
Senator Kenyon, who conducted
the questioning of Miss Bruegge-
man, asked concerning efforts by the
Department of Justice to reduce
living costs.
Price Committees Farce.
She said the fair price committees
were farces and that frequently a
merchant on such a committee
would fix the price OH his own
goods.
Miss Brueggeman said there were
eight organizations in the country
similar to the Missouri one and that
she understood they all were run on
the same plan-"to support Palmer" +"
The total cost Of operating them
was probably more than 100000 a
year." she said.
Miss Mary Scott, mentioned by
Miss Brueggeman, then was called
to the stand. She said the principal
object of the bureaus to reduce liv-
ing costs was to teach the people to
do away with nonessentials.
She admitted a charge by Miss
Brueggeman that she used govern
ment money to go to the democratic
state convention at Joplin. She said
the plan was to urge H. c. L. re-
duction at the convention.
There To Help Palmer.
Senator Kenyon asked it she had
not attended the convention to "hurt
Reed and help Palmer"
Partly" she answered, but added
she also talked over the III. c. L."
with women there.
Miss Scott said the government
paid her railway fare and allowed
her 81 a day on her trips to the Jop-
lir convention and the republican
convention at Kansas City.
Can you justify this use of tax
payers money!" asked Senator
Kenyon.
"Yes, before God I can" inter-
rupted Miss Scott, "for l did gov
eminent work"
