Its first vic tory in the trial of 'William Bross Lloyd, 'millionaire member of the communist labor party, and 19 others was claimed by the state today as a re.uLt of the ruling of Judge Hebel that activities of the defendants prior to the passage of the Illinois sedition net could be utilized as evidence. They are charged with conspiracy to advocate the overthrow of the gov ern ment. In the opening statement for the state. L.

Dual Organization Proposed. Proposals were made that Germany create a dual organization of her entire industry and labor for the pur pose of effecting these deliveries. In cases where special engineering ma terial or similar products were to be turned over, distribution should be carried out through the trade asso ciations of each particular industries. but where they were so called cata logue goods deliveries would be made by clearing bouses in various parts of the German republic. The various states in the republic would parcel out deliveries through special con tract boards which have been formed, or are being constituted. All asso ciations and boards would be com pelled by law to produce the output demanded. Recommendation was made that each allied and associated power create a two-fold organization for the examination and reception of de liveries, respectively. All organizations concerned must be developed on a basis of absolute parity between employer and em ployed, and special measures must be taken to prevent abuses. Examina tion of this plan, the statement said, should be entrusted to a commission of experts. Sub-committees should be formed to deal with various cate gories of goods. Colonixation Is Suggested.

He placed the number of Japanese iarmers in this state at 24.000. Senator Phelan said he had no par ticular legislation to propose, but de clared that the "gentlemen's agree ment" existing between the two coun tries was not sufficient to control im migration because it could be abro gated at any time at the desire of the emperor of Japan.

Wash., July 12. (Spe cial.) The wheat harvest will be on in Adams county in about a week o 10 days and. while it is estimated tha the yield has been cut down five to seven bushels per acre by the ho weather the past week, prospeats are for a good crop of excellent quality grain. Hot winds from now on, how ever, would greatly reduce the yield per acre. Haying is now on all over the county. The straw this year has made a much better growth than for sev eral years past and hay is of good quality. This will do much toward, relieving the feed shortage prevailing, in this county. In the southern part of the county, around Hatton and Cunningham, where the crop has been a failure for the past two years, harvest will start the latter part of this week with bright prospects for a good crop.

INSPECTION IS ASKED Request also was made that the allies fix the maximums due for reparation, after payment of which Germany would be free from any ob ligations. Allied Participation Urged. As the economic development of the next 30 years cannot be foretold, the statement asserted, a plan must be worked out by which allied govern ments would participate in the im provement of financial and economic conditions in Germany. Experts from . allied nations and Germany should meet as soon as possible, the statement said, to fi: the amounts of the annuities to be paid and to pass on the securities to be demanded.
