LETTERS ARE KEPT SECRET .Pretended American Said to Have Traveled as Tourist and Sent . Valuable Information . in Kcports to Berlin. LONDOX, Oct. 30. A court-martial, the first convened In England for the purpose for many generations, met to day under the presidency of Lord Cheylesmore at the Middlesex Guild Hall, in the shadow of Westminster Abbey, for the trial of Carl Hans Lody, alias Charles A. Inglis, on the charge of espionage. Prosecutor Archibald H. BodKln, opening the case, declared that the ctime of giving information to an enemy was properly triable by a court martial,, and the defendant was an alien enemy a German subject al though he spoke English fluently with an American accent. Reports Sent to Berlin. The prosecutor said the accused man, posing as an American tourist, visited Edinburgh, London, Liverpool and Dub lin, and had sent valuable reports to Berlin. August 4 he received a pass port from the American Embassy in Berlin under the false name of Charles A. Jnglis. Late, in August, Lody ar rived in this country, going to Edin burgh and from there to various other places. The prosecutor referred to letters Bent to Berlin which, it is alleged, were written by Lody while he was staying in Edinburgh, where he registered as Charles Inglis, of New York. The let ters describe Queensferry and other places In the Firth of Forth, giving accurate details regarding armaments and the location of British ships, and said that important buildings in Lon - don had been protected with strong wire netting against Zeppelin airship raids. . Letter Not Made Public. Chief Inspector Ward testified that the prisoner had admitted he was a German subject. The police official declared that he had no knowledge of the accused man's having been con nected with the Hamburg-American Steamship line. After further evidence had been given that Lody had pretended to be an American when arrested in Ireland, where he was traveling with John W. Lee. of Minneapolis, and after the pro duction of letters, which counsel said would be detrimental to the interests of the state to make public, the case was adjourned. OMAHA, Oct. 30.-Carl Hans Lody. on trial for espionage in London, is sup posed here to be a former resident of Omaha. He married the daughter of Gottlieb Storz, a wealthy brewer of Omaha, but she divorced him about a year ago. He was in the employ of the Union Pacific Railway while here. It is not known whether any effort will be made to have the American Government intercede In his behalf. FOES EXCHANGE SUBJECTS Germans Detained in Krance to Be Sent Through American Embassy. PARTS, Oct. 30. The French govern ment is arranging through the Ameri can Embassy here to send to Germany - and Austria all subjects of those coun tries now detained in France who are not subject to army duty. The first convoy of these subjects of enemy coun tries probably will leave for Switzer land next week. The French citizens held in Germany and Austria wjll be returned to France. There are relatively few Frenchmen in these countries. Baron von Schoen, the ex-German Ambassador here, said be fore departing from Paris that there were about 80,000 Germans in France. It has been supposed the Germans out numbered the Austrlans, but the -attaches of the American Embassy who are dealing with the situation estimate that there are twice as many Austrians in France. POISON IS LAID TO WOMAN Dendly Kood Given Noisy Children of Neighborhood, Is Charge. LOS ANGELES. Oct. 30. Mrs. Net tle Prow, herself a mother, was found puilty today in the Superior Court on a charge of putting poison in food with intent to poison the three chil dren of a neighbor. Annoyance at the noise made by the many children in the neighborhood, it was testified.- was the occasion of many quarrels between the elderly Mrs. Prow and mothers of the district. This is said to be the first time that such a charge has been filed in a California court. During the trial, when officers of the court went to the vault for the three apples, -exhibits in the trial, it was found that rats had eaten one which was not poisoned, but had not touched the two containing poison. HIGH IDEALS ARE LAUDED ConUnued From First Pago equal rights right of the women to vote, an the right and duty of men to live the sober and decent lives that they expect of their wives, sisters and mothers. We were, therefore, proud when, in th.e primaries, more than 70,000 voters concurred in our Judgment of the fit ness of Kobert Booth for United States Senator. Faith Remains Unshaken. You know that immediately follow ing: this a campaign of uneoualed bit terness was launched against him for selfish political purposes. One of the cleanest, manliest and most honorable of Oregon s citizens has been maligned and dragged into the mire of misreD- resentation and false accusation by the professional politicians. We wish to assure you women of Oregon that our faith in our fellow townsman is unshaken. To us who know him, and know the facts, there Is no reason why it should be shaken. We wish to assure you that there is not one single wora or trutn in the statements mai nave oeen maoe against him. Iadorsrmpat la Reiterated. On October 12 a group of Eugene women, whose names, with others, are signed hereto, presented a statement to Mr. .tsooth, which was in part as follows: "We desire most emphatically to re sent the slurs aimed at you by your political enemies now in high places in uregon. we would like to have th message go from us to the women of Oregon that we know you intimately we have seen you in your home and you in ours that we are friends and supporters because we know that you will carry into the National councils, if elected, the same high moral at tributes, and the same unselfish devo tion to right that has characterized your home and community life. High Ideals Landed. "In every battle that we have fought for purity, for home protection, for civic virtue, you have been our counselor and helper; we want the same spirit, the same high purposes that have char acterized your home and community life to be carried, through- your elec tion, to every home under our flag.

WASHIXGTON, Oct. 30. "It is 'not true that the President has In con templation any plan for the closing of the mines in Colorado." Reports that he might decide to close the mines caused the Issuance of the foregoing statement at the White House today. - No date has been fixed for the with drawal of Federal troops from the strike district, according to statements made today at the War Department. Governor Amnions said yesterday he had received .intimations that the troops would be withdrawn November 15, but it was said by officials here that no plan for such a step has been arranged. President Wilson has received re peated reuqests that he close down the mines unless the operators accept the settlement plan agreed to by the miners. The miners have declared that if the Federal troops a,re withdrawn rioting is almost certain to follow, while the operators have told the President that they are employing as many men as possible and that- they are having no trouble with their present employes. CAVALRY HORSES WANTED Government Agents Search Central Oregon for Army Mounts. SILVER LAKE, Or., Oct. 30 (Spe cial.) Cavalry horses are at a premium in Central Oregon today, as Govern ment agents have been searching the three chief range horse counties. Lake, Harney and Malheur, in an effort to find desirable mounts for the miiltary service. C. I. Minter and W. J. Jamison are busy in the Silver Lake district pick ing out equine eligibles for enlistment. The Government is somewhat "fussy about the quality of steeds it drafts into the Army and as a result an av erage of one horse is accepted out of every 70 offered for .sale. Animals weighing not more than 1150 and not less than 950 pounds are purcnased. In addition to weight requirements Uncle Sam insists on young horses without blemish or bad habits. It is estimated that not more than 200 cavalry horses will be taken out of Lake and Harney counties this Fall, and of this number Messrs. Schroder and Swingle, of Silver Lake, expect to supply SO.

Roumanla. to the Times saya: "There are now six Italian warships at Avlona. The whole duty- of en forcing the decisions ol the confer ence of London in Albania will be in trusted to Italy, as the sole neutral power among the signatories. "At present Albania is under six dif ferent regimes. Scutari is governed by a local commission composed of Moslems and Christians; Avlona is also under a local commission; the Mer dites, a Christian tribe in Upper Al bania, have formed a separate state: the Mallssorl tribes remain under a patriarchal institution: the southern districts are under the Greek in vaders, while Durazzo and the central regions are under Kssad Pasha. "The international commission is reduced to four members, who person ate the ghost of the Kuropean concert. Except in the south, the country is re markably tranquil. Prince William of Wled, although given assurances by the King of Italy of the support of his claims in the future, will probably find his prospects as sovereign comprised by his acceptance of a position on the German staff. . "It is announced at Athens that ail the powers have informed Greece mat they approve of the reasons given for the occupation of Northern Epirus.

BEANS CURE PELLAGRA PEAS, MILK, EGGS AND LEAN MEAT ALSO ADVISED. Public Health Sen-lee Saya Southern Farmer, by Dlverslf fins. Cam Eradicate Malady. WASHINGTON. Oct. 30. Efforts of the Treasury Department to get the farmers of the South to diversify crops and turn some of their fields over to some other product than cot ton took a new turn today, when the Public Health Service In a statement announced that Southern farmers might help to eradicate pellagra by raising beans and peas instead of cot ton. "If you would avoid having pellagra you must eat an abundance of beans, peas, milk, eggs and lean meat as a part of the regular diet." says the service in a statement, issued today through Assistant Secretary Newton. "By using those foods regularly not only may pellagra bea cured when the disease is not too far advanced, but prevented. This actually , happened in at least one institution, where 75 cases of pellagra occurred in I13. As a result of change of diet not a single case is known to have developed this year. "It appears, then, that pellagra is but another example of a class of diseases like scurvy, which can be prevented and cured by un abundance of food of a proper character, and this fact suggests the advisability of farmers in. tne south cultivating beans and peas and raising dairy cattle Instead of cotton at a time when the market for the latter abroad has been all but de stroyed by foreign wars." 20,000 Artillery Saddles Wanted.
