Strohorn, builder of the Klamath Falls Municipal railroad to KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, MONDAY, AUGUST 19, 1918 ss4tnlerfbe HIXTKKN MILLION TO BE RAINED MAY UK DIVIDED INTO THREE CAMPAIGNS Oil POHHIIILY RAM Hl IN TWO IHHUKH WASHINGTON, D. 0., Aug) 19. Tontntlvo plans of the treasury pro vide fur'three big Liberty Loan cam paigns within tho next year, each to ralno $5,000,000,000 or more. The first will be from September 28 to October 19, as announced. The next Is planned for January or February and tho third for May or June. This program will be necessary, It Is said, to provide $11,000,000,000 required in addition to the $3,000,- 1)00,000 to be provided by the new revenuo bill. If government expenses and loam to Allies full much below the $14. 000,000,000 estimate the government Is expected to try to combine two loans Into one big campaign for the largest credit ever sought by any na tion. ..Such a campaign WQui4.bt.sct, for soma time In the lata winter.' Money needs between loan periods will be announced by rale of shbrt torm certificates of Indebtedness, as In the past. In addition the treasury looks for a steady Inflow of money from tax certificates which banks and corporations probably will bay In billion dollar quantities, which virtually mooans paying taxes In ad vance. The treasury will make the loans as few and the time of financial rest between the campaigns as long as possible.' Officials would much ra ther have only one more big solid tntlon In addition. to the fourth cam paign to start late next, month .than bofore the end of tho fiscal year next June 30. The treasury wisher to avoid float ing loans In the Christmas holidays and tho weeks of commercial inactiv ity following. Another bad time for loans Js tho spring planting season, whon furmers are busy and business men have less time than usual to de- voto to campaigning.. , The third pe riod to be avoided is June, when war tuxes must be paid. An example of the fluctuations of expenditures Is the fact that with Au gust more than half gone the Allies havo called for only $71,000,000 in loan payments, a little mora than one-third the usual rate of borrow ings. (m That there will be only four reg istration potnta for the draft regis tration next Saturday la announced this morning at the office of tha local exemption hoard. These places are aa follews: Sher iff's office at Klamath Falls court house, Boaania, Merrill and fort Klamath. U Is emphatically brought out that all young men who have reached the ago of II years since June I, must appear promptly on this date in an swer to the recent call 'by tho draft authorises. The call la urgent and failure to comply at the time set makes much' mora labor for tha local offlolals as wall aa laying delinquents liable to unpleasant penalties. K mmm ME M REGISTRATION PLACESFOR mora II Mil GUILTr AFTER HOipiO 1 '," TRIAL WHICH HAM TAKKN THIMCK MONTH. IN CHICAGO COURTS SETTLED IIV JURY IN QUICK TIMK n CHICAGO, Aug. !. A verdict of guilty was returned . by the Jury against all (he defendants In the I; W. W. conspiracy triat atsao p. m. Sat urday, after one hour of deliberation. Tho defendants. faeWdlng William D. (Big Dill) Hayw'aod, general secretary-treasurer of the I. W. W the highest position la 'the .organisation, face a maximum penalty of twenty seven years la prhtea sad a $10,000 fine each. jj There was no demonstration, and the defendants were returned to their cells after Judefe Landls had an nounced that ha would net.hear argu ments for a new trial next week, the exact date to ha eat lata. The case, which aa lasted more than three months, was given to tha jury this morning. Attorney Frank K. Nobeker, for the government, con cluded hie argument In an hour,, and AltoraornraJvUaF.'frandof veer, defonso, surprised spectators by making none at all. Nebeker argued to the Jury that their work was as important as that of the man In the trenches so far as tha welfare of tho country is con cerned, In peace as wejl as In war. The government's case, he said, was proven la the defense documents themselves. Before giving his Instructions to the Jury, Judge Landls withdrew from the Indictment the fifth count, which charged conspiracy to violate tha postal laws. The court then read the Indictment and disowned In de tail the charges contained In tha four remaining counts. The first count charges conspiracy to prevent and hinder the government from execut ing numerous statutes for the prose cution of the war. The second count charge conspiracy to Interfere with the production and transportation of food, clothing and munitions essen tial to the carrying on of the war. The third count charges conspiracy to Interfere with the enforcement of the selective draft law. Tha fourth count charges conspiracy to violate the federal espionage law and to ob struct army and navy recruiting. Judge Landls then discussed at length the law on conspiracy and the fundamental rules of evidence. Before the Instructions to the Jury were read Judge Landls ordered S3 ot the 100 defendants, who had been out on ball during tho progress of the I trial, taken into custody nnd searched to make certain that no waapona were brought Into the court room. An extra police guard waa on duty when court reconvened in the after noon and every visitor was carefully scrutinised before being admitted. At t o'clock the court room waa crowd- ed and scores of policemen, detectlvee j ana agents 01 me aeparimem or jus tioa circulated among the spectators as a precautionary measure. The I. W.
