(By Associated Press)

Jackson, Mimi, Nov 3-A. G,
Townley, president of the National
Nonpartisan League, spent last night
in the Jackson County Jail, beginning
his sentence of 80 days for conspiracy
to encourage disloyalty' during the
World War. His Incarceration ended
a three year legal battle started here
and carried to the United States Su-
preme court.
Fatigued and haggard from the
nerve strain Of the North Dakota cam
paign and travel Townley entered his
cell after . 800 mile automobile drive
from Fargo, via Milbank, South Da-
kota and Pipestone. His chauffeur
was Ray c. Felyer of Fargo, formerly
connected with the League. Their
machine broke down at Pipestone and
they got another to complete the trip.
townley and Feller reached Jackson
at $3.50 p. M. At 8: 40 o'clock the
Leage president was behind the bars:
Probably 25 adherents, includ ng two
carloads from Mitchell, South Dakota
were here to greet him.
Townley's first act in Jail was one
of the flashes Of generosity and warm
heartedncss which has brought so
many friends. He obtined the release
of fellow prisoner, J. H. Puckman,
19 years old, of Round Lake town.

told Sheriff O. G. Lee. The sheriff
was agreeable. Townley wrote a
check for $50 and instructed the Of
ficers to take out the fine and costs
and give Puckman the remainder to
pay his fare home.
In an interview, Townley said he
was tired and nervous from the
stress of not only the North Dakota
campaign but of hard work Of several
years. He said he would devote his
time in Jail to rest and study OF
physical culture.

that he looked thin. 1T has been an

WILSON T0KEEP
HIS HANDS OFF
Former President Not to Inter-
fere in Negotiations of
Disarmament Conference
ny HARRY HUNT.

Washington, Nov. 3.--WoCdrOW Will
son, former president of the United
States, has adopted "hands off, pol
icy with respect to the disarmament,
conference.
No utterancc, touching on the af-
fairs of the conference, will be voiced
by the former chief executive-al
least until the conference has had
every opportunity to negotiate an
agreement.
If negotiations fail, or if the agree.
ments arrived at seem un-American,
then, but not till then, will he inject
his views into the, discussion.
Should that occasion develop, the
country might see just such another
dong g-drawn fight in the senate as oc-
CURED over the Versailles treaty and
the League of Nations, with the DEM
ocratic minority preventing the nee
essary two-thirds vote required for
ratification Of any conference treaties.
gg,y Such a contingency, however, is -not
expected even by the most bitter Dem
ocratic partisans Wilson is said to
be both sympathetic and hopeful as to
the outcome of the Washington CON
ference. For the aim Of the confer
ence goes at least part way toward
the goal at which he aimed.
Wilson desires to keep altogether
in the background personally during
the conference.
1t is as yet by no means sure that
|yhe will attend the ceremonies at the
burial of the unknown soldier at Ar
lington on Nov. II.
The former president certainly will
take no part in the brilliant social
functions There will be no formal
entertaining at the Wilson home dur
ing the conference. 8
Because of the intimate contact be-
tween Wilson and Lloyd George dur.
ing the Paris conference, when both
were members of the Council of Four,
it is considered certain that the Brit
ieh premier will call and pay his re-
poets to the former president. i.
But beyond that the former chief
executive is expected to have M
direct contact with the confreres.

ON STATE HOMES
County Treasurer Says He
Wants to Know Who is
To Pay Tax

County Treasurer J. A. Flow said
today that he would ask the county
attorney for a ruling as to who shall
pay taxes on state-built homes here.
The question came up during the
checking Of property listed for taxes
which are due. r. B. Blakemore, for
mer manager of the Homebuilders
association, held that the property
owner must pay the taxes. The plan
expected to be followed by county Of
ficials was that if the lot was in the
name of the person for whom the
house was built the tax would be
against him; ii not, against the state
and the state would pay taxes for all
special improvements, etc.
An effort will be made to get an
early ruling.
