l.rmzne Orator Declare Statements
Quoted In Testimony Are
"ot Correct.
JACKSON. Minn., July 7. Joseph Gil
bert, former Non-Partisan league or
ganization manager, and co-defendant
with President A. C. Townley, testified
in district court iTera this afternoon
that he never conferred with Townley
reffardinjf the speeches of Gilbert at
Kenyon In 1917 and at Iakefield in
and that Townley never conferred
with him regarding Townley's ad
dren?es during- the war.
Townley and OiltJert are o .ntrial
rharted wi:h conspiracy to foster dis
loyalty. Much or Gilbert's testimony
concerned the speech he made at Lake
field January ZZ. 1918. He was ar
rested while makin? this speech. The
indictment charges that Gilbert in this
address declared:
-Your boys are better off on the
farms than in the trenches 60oo miles
away. Who will feed these boys when
they are in the trenches GOOD miles
away?"
Speaker lve Vera ion.
Gilbert testified today that he said,
instead: "Why. the boys on the farms
are rendering just as valuable service
toward winning the war as th
the trenches."
"I also said mho would feed the boys
in the trenches if all would be at the
front?" Gilbert added.
Gilbert' denied that be said In
speech at Kenyon August 17, 1917;
"We ere stampeded into this war
by newspaper rot to pull England's
chestnuts out of the fire."
lstrtct Jude K. . lean today de
nied thw motion of the defense to dis
miss the conspiracy charce against
President A. C Townley of the National
Non-Partisan league, and Joseph Gil
bert, a league organizer. Attorney
George Hoke, for the defense, then
began his opening statements.
Ceamter Charge Made.
During his. address to the Jury At
torney link clashed sharply with J.
E. Mirttarn. assistant attorney-general,
re pre st- nting th statt.
Wo h ill undert.t ke to show you."
Mr. Hoke said to the Jury, "that in
stead of conspirator, my c lit-tits are
the victims of a conspiracy extending
over this and neighboring states. This
conspiracy was and now is In force
for the purpose of destroying the Non
Partisan league as a political machine.
It Is all politics, and since It Is, it
should be settled in tiie political arena."
Attorney Mark ham objected to this
line ( argument, saying state officials
had nothing to do with this case. !
Judge Iean ended the encounter
with the remark: j
"It would avem that if state officers i
entered into a cotispiraiy to do some
thing wronc. thoy should be indicted
and tried. The counsel in his opening
statement should confine himself to
what he exnecta to proe."

By CHARLES MICHELSON.
vVASHINGTOX, D. C. July 7. In a
statement issued by General Counsel
Wheeler of the Anti-Saloon leacue, the
collar-Railed prohibition wheel-horses
in congress thought they heard the
cracking: of the whip to compel them
to hurry up the enforcement laws.
After Btatlng- the situation as it ap
pear to the league, Mr. Wheeler says:
"In the meantime people will be asking-
congress why they have not passed
the law enforcement code- Any unnec
essary delay in the enforcement of the
code will be considered inexcusable by
the people."
This is taken as a warning that if
the congressmen do not get busy the
Anti-Saloon league will call out the
home guard arid, start a bombardment
from the constituents of the sort that
kes statesmen gray before their
time.
With practically every saloon In the
country either closed or shamefacedly
selling the innocuous 2 per cent beer
and the attorney-general announcing
that the rebels at Atlantic City will be
dealt with summarily. It might be sup
posed the organization that put pro
hibitlon over might be content -to en-
Joy its triumph, but so long as any
body in this broad land can get a drink
It will not rest.
Drya Hopelessly Divided.
What makes the spur uncomfortable
at this time is that the drys in con
gress appear to be hopelessly divided
over the proper course to take in con
sidering prohibition enforcement leg
islation. The wets believe this will de
lay the pending bill and are conse
quently cheerful.
There will be no separate considera
tion of wartime and constitutional en
forcement legislation if Chairman Vol
stead of the house judiciary committee
maintains the stand he has taken. He
expects to resist efforts to kill the two !
bills, in opposition to the republican !
floor leader, Mr. Mondell, who may take
strong hand In the dispute and de
mand separate measures.
Mr. Volstead has the advantage on
enforcement bill has been reported t(M
the house. The judiciary committee can
no longer act upon it unless the house i
recommits the measure. The committee J
has four times refused to adopt motions ,
for reporting wartime prohibition as a
separate measure. If the house should
strike out title 1. or wartime enforce
ment, those who vote that way will be
in the blasphemous attitude of oppos
ing the Anti-Saloon league.
Committee- Rejects Iroposala.
It would be possHile for the judiciary
committee. If a majority desired, to re
port out a wartime enforcement bill
similar to title I, and ask those to elim
inate that title from the bill now re
ported. The committee repeatedly has
turned down such proposals, and there
is doubt that It will change front at
this late date.
These are but few of the troubles
confronting the drys in Congress. They
are wrought up because the courts have
left a loophole for the sale or i'ii per
cent beer and because the attorney-
general will not step in and stop It
without waiting for a final judicial de
cision. Some want to put through the
enforcement legislation at once, which
would be tantamount to directing him
to enforce an absolutely dry law.
But they see now great chances of
delay In two quarters. The supreme
court will not be in session until Oc
tober, and the United States senate
cannot be counted upon to put through
speedily a measure involving such big
questions as those in the prohibition
bill.
In the meantime there is a chance
that demobilization will be declared
at an end. and that no enforcement
legislation for wartime prohibition
will go through in time to do any
good.
Attorney-General Palmer today is
sued orders to the district attorney
at Atlantic City to Investigate all
cases of violations of prohibition laws
and cause the arrest of violators. The
attorney-general took cognizance of
newspaper reports from the big resort
saying that saloons and hotel bars
were serving all sorts of drinks. It
had been published that the district
attorney had announced that he would
pay no attention to the violation until
he had specific Instructions from the
department of justice and It was on
this account the selling was going on.
The matter was called to Attorney
General Palmer's attention shortly be
fore noon today and .he immediately
caused telegraphed Instructions to be
issued to the district attorney.
"Many people." said General Coun
sel Wheeler of the Anti-Saloon league,
"think wartime proulbition cannot be
enforced unless a code is adopted. It
in true the present power to enforce
the act is not adequate, but it is never
theless fairly effective, liquor dealers
who violate the war prohibition act
will faoe not only the criminal penalty
of war crohibition, but the penalty
under the liquor tax laws. The penal
ty for violating war prohibition is im
prisonment not exceeding one year or
a fine not exceeding $1000, or both."
