I0WnL.EY DENIED
new I TRIAL / BY COURT

st. Paul. April 29.-The state
supreme court today upheld the
j ackson county court in refusing a
new trial for A. C. Townley,, presi-
dent, and joseph Gilbert, former
organizer of the National Nonpar-
tisan League They were charged
with con~~'racy to discourage en-
listment during the war, found
guilty, and sentenced to serve 80
days each in the county Jail. The
case was appealed. Meantime Gil
pert. was convicted on another
charge and is serving a sentence in
the GOOdhue county jail. .I,$ss5
His case was BEFORE the state
pardon board this week which re-
fused to grant parcon. or commu-
tation of the sentence. -
Conviction Of Townley and Gill
bert i'll the Jackson county court
nearly a year ago furnished one Of
the most sensational trials in the
history of the; state.
4 When it came to final argument
tTownley refused to permit his at
torney to argue his case for him
and in his srirt sleeves argued for.
hours one hot July day for permis-
sion: to argue his own case. He
was denied permission, however,
but argument for the privilege con-
stituted as much of an argument of
his case as he would have made
with permission from the court.
The case pro obably will be carried
to the United States supreme court.

It was reported that a great in
terest in the race had been aroused
in the other towns. Flaxton alone
had planned on sending upwards of
twenty-five cars to Bowbells to see
the start. The extra weeks train
ing will only make the race fast

condition and the weather at all
favorable some fast miles should
be made by several of the sixty-five

WH|sKEY AGENTS
AIM AT FARMERS

Minot, N. d., May 5.-With the
whisky running abating as a result
Of the concerted drive made on ILL
cit liquor traffic by state and fed
eral men, authorities plan to devote
their attention to farmers near the
line who are. working with the
whisky importers, F. L. Watkins,
chief of the state forces in this sec
ton, advised yesterday. ,
"There are a number Of farmers
near the border who permit the rum
ners to make their headquarters OH
their place, bringing their loads to
the farm and waiting there until
the way is clear for the dash south, ;"
Mr.. Watkins states. I'VE are go
ing after these fellows in earnest.
These farmers charge a commits
sion of from So to SIS case and
their connection with the runners
makes the work of officers much
harder. We intend to serve in
junction on these farms which will
mean that the farmer must get off
the land or let it remain idle. 1t
is our only effective method of COM
batting them"
Watkins advises that runners are
not coming down with loads as Of
ten as was anticipated. He be-
ieves the united front presented
the men in the whisky business by
the state and federal men is re-
sponsible. ..
When the whisky importation is
checked. the officers will start big
drive against the private stills:
Watkins reports having more than
100 tips on private stills which he
will follow up in the near future.

Remarks attributed to Miss Alice
Robertson, Oklahoma, member of Con-
gress, on the question Of women at
tending the disarmament conference
have aroused such ire on the part OF
the National League of Women Voters
that Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, hon
orary chairman of the organization
has issued statement.
Miss Robertson pointed out in her
rebuttal on the first attack made bv
the League Of Women Voters that the
delegation which called upon the Presi-
dent to urge the appointment Of a
woman failed to mention the name of
any candidate.
Mrs. Gait yesterday suggested Mrs.
Lucia Ames Mead, Of Boston, as a dele
gate to the conference. Individuals aud
organizations name Mrs. Gait herself
as the most suitable appointee.
Qualifications Set Forth
Mrs. Cats statement, which will ap-
pear in The Woman Citizen, is as fol-

ut will be remembered that Miss
Robertson was small town anti

Take Action to Get Rid
of Burdens Due to War
Speaks of Harding Call
He Says All Powers Will
Do Well to Take Advan-
tage of Washington Farley

WILLIAMSBURG, Mass, Aug. 19.-
Europe faces the alternatives of reduc-
ton Of armament or ruin, Viscount
James Bryce asserted in lecture at
the Institute Of Politics here tonight
AS the greater European countries
already are beggared by the last war;
he said, "it is plain that they will be
ere long ruined by the continuance of
expenditure on the present scale. They
ought, therefore, to welcome the in
United States to conference on the
subject, as it already has been well
coined by the people Of Britain and the
British dominions everywhere"
He said that only an agreement be-
tween the great powers held out any
hope of armament reduction. After
describing some of the obstacles to
such an agreement he declared:
mo difficulties can be allowed to de-
ter the nations from graphing with
an enterprise Of such urgent impor-
tance."
Opportune Moment
His speech in part follows:
The moment is opportune for dis
armament, not only because the great
European states cannot without finan-
cial ruin bear the burden which arma-
ments impose upon them, but also be-
cause there is no immediate prospect
of another war between the great
states having large fleets and armies.
Though the causes of war are numer-
Gus, actual hostilities are much more
likely to break out between the smaller

Spanish RepuIse Moor
Attacks in Morocco
Ten Thousand Reported Killed

;MELILLA, Spanish Morocco, Aug. ls.
(By The Associated Press. Spanish
conveys and advance posts have been
furiously attacked by the Moorish
sribesmen. The Moors, however, were
driven back by artillery fire with great
losses.
bLQNDON, Aug. 10. - The extent OF
the disaster at Melilla, declares the
Madrid correspondent of The Times.
IS so .farreaching in its consequences
that it is as yet impossible to estim ate
its effects. The correspondent asserts
that some 10000 Spaniards must be
considered dead, as "airplane OBJ
servers have reported the roads lit
tered with bodies"
He reports that the Spanish forces
to-day are hemmed in around Melills
and that the Benz Sicar tribe in the
neck of the peninsula of Tres Forcas,
north Of Melilla, is showing restless
ness. Should this tribe revolt. he de
clares, Melilla would be surrounded
except from the sea.
In the opinion of the correspondent,
it seems probable that for some time
the Spanish forces will not move fsl
aheld. while the money passes out
and the ransomed come back"

than between the bigger states. since
the latter are exhausted and impover-
ished.
"Prudence, moreover. suggests that
it would be foolish to vote immense
sums now for battleships and other en-
gines of war which might prove OF lit
tie value when they would begin to be
wanted. To put the matter on a cyni-
cally business basis, is it not obvious
that the less money a nation throws
away now the more viii it have at its
disposal if all plans for peace should
eventually miscarry and black thunder
clouds rise again over the horizon?
Rivalry Causes Disquiet
"Whatever ships one power builds,
whatever guns it casts, other powers
feel bound to match by their own
building and casting, for all live in
disquiet and all feel that their influ-
encc in the world depends on the war
strength they possess. Hence, it is
only an agreement between the great
powers that holds out any hope of re-
dpcing armies and navies. for no one
will reduce till assured that the others
are doing likewise"
Among the problems to be faced by
the Disarmament Conference he men
toned the scale to be fixed for each
country "as that which it's armies, its
fleets, its aircraft, together with the
war munitions needed for these
branches Of war service, shall not in
future exceed
Rules Must Be Kept
"Another set Of problems arise" he
continued, when we ask how the OBJ
servance of the limits allotted to each
country is to be secured. There is no
use in making reduction now unless
the rules prescribed be adhe red to. for
increases in any country would forth
with alarm the others. 1t has been
suggested that sort of board Of in
spections might lie created to watch
over the fulfillment of the undertakings
made to keep within the limits pre-
scr;bcd
"Some have suggested that the most
effective method Of limiting expendi-
ture would be an undertaking by each
Of the contracting countries not to
vote more than a prescribed sum OF
money in every budget for naval and
purposes. To this it has been
answered that an unscrupulous gov
ernment desiring to elude its engage
ments could do so by secretly transfer
ring to the purposes aforesaid sums
voted by the Legislature for non-mil-
tary purposes.
"But no difficulties can be allowed
to deter the nations from graphing
with an enterprise of such urgent i'm
portance."

mite, clear cut constructive results
there will be worldwide despair; and
if it fails it will be for the want of q
quality very many women possess and
which is largely atrophled III the poll
ticians who will considerably compose
the conference. The longer the service
the more complete the atrophy of the
quality known as backbone. The need
of backbone in that conference is in
tinitely more important than military
training or knowledge of international
law.
"There are women, however. who
possess all the requisite qualifications
as applied to men plus backbone. Per
haps the most evidently we'll qualified
is woman who is completely familiar
with the armament equipment of every
nation, the treaty relations between
countries and who knows the history
Of every effort to effect permanent
peace, forward and back. She is calm
and judicial in manner and mind.
Knows How to Listen
"No member of the conference will
be better equipped with facts or PHI
lcsophy. She knows how to listen, but
can eloquently defend her position.
She is, we believe, non partisan.
Win a given policy accrue to the ad-
vantage Of the Republican or Democratic
party? is a question which would not
arise in her mind and would not in
terest her should another suggest it.
She would never lose sight of the ne
cessity of guarding the interest and
the honor of our common country and
she would never forget nor let any one
else forget that the primary business
OF a disarmament conference is to find
a way to disarm.
THAT woman is Lucia Ames Mead,
OF Boston. Probably Miss Robertson
never happened to hear of her, but
most other people know her and her
qualifications. Those who wish to
urge the appointment of woman
would do no better than to support
Mrs. Mead. Is she Il candidate? Not
at all, but she is too consecrated q
friend of peace to decline SO important
Il call to duty should the invitation
be extended to her"
Mrs. Mead was an energetic worker
in the cause of peace while the war
was on. She was national secretary
OF the Woman's Peace Party and, later,
OF the Women's international League.
In 1919 she was delegate to the con-
vention OF the international Committee

HEMPsTEAD, L. l.. Aug. 19.-Miss
Elizabeth Randolph, known in New

picked up unconscious on the Long
Island Motor Parkway four miles east
Of the Meadow Brook Club yesterday,
after her heavy touring car had skid
ded into another driven by z. L. Mack,
of Meadow Street, Garden City.
The Randolph car turned over four
times, with Miss Randolph still holding
the wheel. She was removed to the
Nassau Hospital, where. it was said,
she had escaped serious injury Walker
Killey, chauffeur for Miss Randolph,
who was in the car, was seriously in
jured. He is said at the hospital to be
suffering from spinal concussion. Mr..
and Mrs. Mack escaped injury.
Both cars were travelling east. Miss
Randolph tried to pass the Mack car.
and is said to have misjudged her dis.

over it kept rolling on a slope of the
road, landing on its wheels after the
last turn.

scale never. previously undertaken

Heckling Is Omitted
In accordance with the custom which
has been observed in Parliament dur
ing the Irish negotiations, members
refrained from heckling the Premier
to-day, the desire seeming to be gen
eral to do nothing which might disturb
the negotiations. This unwritten rule
was broken only by Colonel John Gret-
ton. who represents the ultra-T Tory
section in opposition to any conces
sion to Ireland.
There was much comment by the
Liberals in the lobby on the insistence
by former Premier Asquith in a
speech he made in the Commons that
the governments proposals did not
constitute an ultimatum, but were
intended to bring the opposition par
ties together in conference to thrash
out details Of settlement which
would give full satisfaction to Ireland's
aspirations. The expression was heard
that it was thought Mr.. Asquith would
hardly have gone so far without know
ing to some extent the governments
intentions. 81.
