40 DISLOYALTY -CASES
TAKEN UP
BY FEDERAL JURY
Judge Woodrough Warns In
vestigators of Importance of
Their Duty in Handling ,
Treason Indictments.
Promise of speedy retribution in the
trial of any person indicted under the
charge of sedition, treason or for acts
against the government was made by
Federal Judge Woodrough in his
charge to the federal grand jury,
which was impanelled Wednesday
morning. The jury in this session
' will review 40 cases of this character.
"You have a great many cases to
decide, where charges of sedition,
treason and treasonable acts against
the government have been made,"
Judge Woodrough said to the jury.
"These matters to loyal American
men, such as you are, are so horrible,
so revolting, that they are enough to
make the Blood boil with bitterness,
''contempt and hatred. Yet. even un
der these circumstances, the human
ity of our laws must be fully realized
by you men. You must indict no
man without proof of his euilt, but
when that is once established your
duty is plain.
No Partisan Feeling.
"You must indict no person through
any partisan feeling, either through
fear or favor, nor indict any man
through malice. It is this humane fea
ture which makes the American jury
so distinctive."
Throughout his talk to the jury
Judge Woodrough took frequent oc
casion to impress upon the jury men
the humane side of their work He also
warned them of the importance of
their duty a$ public officials.
Lee Herdman, Omaha, was made
' foreman of the jury of 23 men.
Twenty-four men were qualified, but
one" was excused to cut the number
down to the legal provision.
The heaviest docket of complaints
since 1905 will be . reviewed by the
jury. Thirteen cases, involving viola
tions of -the Mann act. and 20 viola
tions of the Harrison drug act are I
among those to be considered.

Wheat Restrictions Apply
To Use of Graham Flour
Widespread misunderstandings re
garding graham flour exists, says
Gurdon W. Wattles, federal food ad
ministrator." Many seem to think
graham is not a wheat flour product
, and that when they are using gra
ham they are observing the non
wheat requests.
As a matter of fact graham flour is
all wheat. The same is true of whole
wheat flour and products.
Co-operation in every possible way
and observance of every food regula
tion to the limit is the pledge of
