The Marnuis nf Mandel.

The Marquis Of Mandeleys. through
action in the law courts, loses his right
to claim; 3 Samekeeper's cottage and
small plot Of land, which belongs to the
family property, has been left by
the marquis predecessor, to a woman
by the name Of Won't. The marquis Sis
ter, the duchess, known to the family
as aunt Caroline" brings TO luncheon
a young American. David Thain. whom
she presents to the marquis daughter,
Lady Letitia. THAN says he met q Rich
ard Won't on the boat, when making the
trip over from America, a short! time
previous.
The marquis tells Thsin Of an affair
which he carried on with Richard vont's
daughter. after he came into possession
Of the estate, and found the Won't fam.
i1y among hts tenants. He states that
the young woman IL still living, and he
believes Won't is returning to claim his
property.
The marquis, visiting Marcia (the
daughter OF Vont). and a fairly success
ful writer, tells her Of the prospective
return OF RICHARD Won't. Marcia tells
him she is thinking of going away for
a few months.
The financial affairs of the marquis
estate are in very unsatisfactory condi-
ton, his lawyers inform him. and the
allowance Of Marcia Hannawsy has
been discontinued.
A dinner is given by Lady Letitia and
the marquis for David THAN, who is .
well-known American millionaire. The

troll that the. Townley movement is di-

the corn grower lie in one direction,
of the wheat grower in another. and
of the growers of fruits, and tobacco.

Are the wheat growers Of the Unit

sing the jail sentence which was neted out to him be-
cause of violation Of the Minnesota sedition law during the
war. He makes light of the whole affair. In one Of his
recent actresses he maintained that the prosecution was
due to the ennnity toward him Of the train gamblers
against whom he was tryins to protect the farmers He
told of the many speeches which he had made in differ
ent places during the war and said that both the federal
watching him and listening to everything that he said,
and taking stenographic notes of his speeches. Finally,
he said that the grain gamblers found a two by four at
torney in jackson County, Minnesota, who would work
for them, and that this attorney brought suit against him.
Continuing, he said:

supreme court OF the state on this ground. The state took
his case under advisement and presumably gave it the
Rme attention that it gives to every case, and the ruling
against him was unanimous. 1t was held that there had
been no error in the procedure such as deprived him Of
any Of his legal rights. He was tried, convicted, and con-
demned regularly. and lawfully. He stands as a convicted
seditionist, and all the attempts that he can make to gloss
over that fact will fail.
What Townley did in Jackson is in keeping With what
he did everywhere else. He did not in call cases utter
statements which could successfully have been made the
ground for legal action against him. Usually he was too
cautious for that. but he did preach. sedition wherever
he went. Generally, his seditious thought was expressed
not in direct words. but indirectly: but quite plainly never
the less. His utterances were a continual TRADE against
tthe American government. He made accusation after
that this war was a rich mans war and sought to create
the impression that American participation in the war
was due to the deliberate purpose of rich men to make
themselves richer at the expense of poor men, who, with
their sons must either fight on the battle field or con-
tribute funds to maintain soldiers in the field. This sort
and no man ever went away from a Townley meeting
inspired to a higher degree of loyalty by anything that had
fallen from the lips Of Townley.
known, Townley may convince many people Of the cor
rectness of his statements and cause them to believe in
the rectitude of his actions: but where he is known this
would be impossible except among those whose minds are
already made up concerning him. and who have come
under his seemingly hypnotic influence. He has worn
himself out in North Dakota and he cannot last long in
Kansas, II he is successful in deceiving the people of
that state tor a time. SO much the worse for Kansas.

Washington Interested
In Producing Coal

TACOMA, Wash, June l5-(A P,)
deduction in cost of production and
distribution Of coal mined in this state
was forecast here yesterday following
a meeting of the state coal commits
sion, held here in an effort to devise
means If possible of reopening state
coal mines, closed since the workers
walked out last March.
With coal bunkers in Tacoma re-
ported practically empty and similar
situation said to exist in other parts OF
the state, the commission expressed
the fear today that crisis will be
reached next winter unless arrange
ments are made now to provide for the
demand to come later.
Production and distribution costs. IL
was declared today offered the only
solution for restoring the coal mining
industry of the state to normal and
means to stimulate the purchase of
Washington coal by the public was
also discussed. Tacoma fuel dealers
who attended today's conference pedg-
cd themselves to aid in the campaign
to swing local consumers to Washing
ton coal and thus increase the produc-
tion which in turn would bring about
lower production costs. according to
members of the commission.
