ToWnley to Ask
for Retlearing
LEAGUE CHIEF
RIDICULES 90-DAY JAIL SENT
ENCE IMPOSED on HIM.

Petition for hearing on the appeal
of A.. c.. Townley, president of the
Nonpartisan league, who was con-
victed Of violation Of the Minnesota
anti-sedition law during the war, and
Friday denied new trial by the state
supreme court, will probably be made,
after a study of the decision and the
record of the case, attorneys for Town.
ley announce.
Townley and a co-defendant, Joseph
Gilbert, state manager of the league,
who also was convicted and denied a
new trial by the supreme court, have
80 days in which to petition for re-
hearing. If such petition is made and
not allowed they can then appeal to
the United States supreme court, or
failing to do this, they will be COM
mitted to Jail to serve the 9O-day
sentence.
Townley and Gilbert were found
guilty on a charge of. conspiracy to
encourage disloyalty, in violation OF
the state law, July IL, 1919, by a jury
in Jackson county district court. Each
was given a sentence of 80 days by
Judge E. C. Dean, September Is, 1919.
Several stays of execution were grant,
ed in each case until August 20, 1920,
when an appeal was taken to the Min
nesota supreme court, which resulted
in the decision sustaining the convies
tion and affirming the lower courts
denial Of new trial.
Gilbert already is serving one-year
sentence for obstructmg enlistment
during the war, and, if commitment
papers are issued in his case, they
viii be served, following expiration
of his present term. Attorneys de-
clared that, should rehearing of the
appeal be allowed, it probably will
not be held before next fall.
At Beaver City, Nebr., where Town
lev was Friday evening, he told his
audience that he was not worrying
about the action of the Minnesota SUI
preme court in denying him new
trial on a charge of conspiracy to
teach sedition. The sentence, he adj
.ded, was for 90 days only, which he
declared was not 4as much as a chick

Although her last illness was
fraught with severe pain, Hilda bore
her suffering with Christian patience.
Hers was a beautiful character, she

Church
The preacher at All Souls Church,
Sunday, will be the Rev. John B. w.
Day, Representative of the American
Unitarian Association in Japan, who
has recently returned to this country
on a mission in connection with his
work in Tokyo. The subject of his
address will be: Our Unitarian
Work in Japan" and will be well
worth hearing not only from the view
point Of the Unitarian but also any,
one. who is interested in knowing
something at first hand about con-
ditions in that land. Mr. Day is a
young man, who was for a number
of years a successful parish minister
in this country until appointed to
take up the work laid down by the
Rev. Clay MacCauley, who for years
enjoyed the esteem of the governing
class, and was decorated by the EN-
peror upon the completion of his
service in Japan. Since 1887, when
the first Unitarian representative
went to Japan upon the invitation of
certain Japanese scholars in Tokyo,
the mission has served as a focal
point for the rallying of the Liberal
Christian element among the Jap
anese, and promises to exert a large
influence upon the nations life and
thought. Several churches have been
established in charge of Japanese
ministers and monthly magazine,

TO OENCOURACE
LOANS ON LAND
Proposed Law Would Exempt
Mortgages From Most
Taxation.
By a Staff couesponden,

By Staff cousfpondeA'.
JEFFERSON CRY, Feb. 5.-A proposed
amendment 10 the secured debts law will
soon be offered in the House and Senate
Supporters Of the measure declare it will
increase the funds available for loans on
real estate.
At present there is no market for farm
mortgages, it is claimed. because mort
cages are taxable at the same rate as per-
sonal property. Government non-txable
bonds offer such One-sided competition
10 loans on real estate that farmers will
be in desperate straits when the time
comes to renew their mortgages. Per
sons holding such mortgages are expect
ed to call them in and invest in govern
ment bonds.
The farm loans heretofore offered by in
surance companies will be hard TO get, il
is thought, because companies are being
forced to pay out annually large sums
in loans on policies. Most insurance poll
cies have a proyisO whereby the holder
can secure a loan on such policy after
the payment of a number of installments.
The proposed measure would place real
estate notes on the same basis as munich
pal bonds and other securities which are
now within the operation of the secured
debts act. The holder Of a real estate
note for $1,000. which runs for FIVE years.
if the amendment is passed. can present
his note to the recorder of deeds, pay
a tax Of $3.50 to the state, $3.50 TO the
county and like amount to the city, if
the county and city wherein he resides
have levied their respective taxes, have
the note stamped by the recorder and
then hold it until maturity free from
further taxation.
