CHICAGO, July 12. 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. IX Heth, assistant state's
attorney, reviewed alleged acts of the
defendants. He declared an attempt

ed regions should be specified by the

ment declared and its value should
be credited to Germany.
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.
After declaring Germany was ready.

peace, to undertake to assist In the

WARSAW. July 10. (By the Asso

front is meager, but at last accounts
the Americans were reported to have
evacuated Minsk, Kovel and other
towns toward which bolsheviki are
approaching in their 745-mile west

Many telegraph wires are down and
the railroad have been cut.
It is reported that Minsk is on fire

A Japanese named Sakamoto dem

Ikuta introduced rice culture into the
Sacramento valley.
"Lots of bankers and other busi

said.
24.000 In State.
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

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.
He suggested as a possible course

Wheat Cutting Starts in 10 Days

RITZVIL.LE. 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.

German budget must balance, the
statement insisted, or there would be
a rapid Increase In the floating debt
and consequent inflation that would
neutralize her capacity to pay.
Assuming that Germany's ability to
pay is used as a basis, the statement
asked that reparation obligations be
expressed in annuities, the minimum
of which would be fixed, and the ob
ligation to pay such annuities limited Washington Wants House Mem-

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. Germany's sovereignty
