Telegram.) The government rested
late this evening in its espionage and
sedition case against Rev. Rather
"Windolph. pastor of the Catholic
cliurch at Creighton. Court ad
journed until 9 o'clock Tuesday
morning, when the defense expects
fa put on its first witness. Werner
Hanni, federal secret service op
tative, finished his testimony today,
md notwithstanding the fact the
fovernment was unamc to m
roduce the alleged disloyal state
ments made to the witness by tht
defendant. Hanni succeeded 4n stat-
ing to the jury that the defendant

States government was rotten," ana
that "German government was bet
ter than ours."
I v Only One Count Lelt.
1 Hanni "became the government's
inly witness in the case against the
; defendant when the court sustained
' a motion by the itefens to strike
out all that parf of Hanni's conver
$ Ration with the defendant that was
had in the German language because
,i the indictment did not state it was
f held in German language and when
f the court directed the elimination of
3 all other counts except one against
rather Windolph because the pre
s vious evidence was not substantiated
g and not sufficient to bring before the
a i The court also vindicated the
i moral character of Sister llor-
I tencia, and the defendant by an-
' flouncing that Mary Donahue
v Green, who admitted she had writ-
v ten anonymous letters aboyt the
1 two, had herself admitted she knew
nothing whatever about the mis
1 conduct of Sister Hortencia. The
; defense claimed that they had suf-
ficient evidence to clear the defend
'. tnt of all these charges.
The court's ruling left the entire
case" with but one lone indictment
'land after a conference with Mr.
f Saxton District Attorney Allen de-
tided to go on with the prosecution
1 with Agent Hanni's evidence.
, ' The immoral charges came into
i "the case after the defense intro
) duced many anonymous letters
" -which Mary Donahue Green, star
-witness for the government, ad
i knitted she had written to persons
i connected with the Catholic church.
i The defense said the letters were
: introduced to show the "fearful per
i sonal enmity" which existed against
the defendant.
i The government, on the other
I hand, explained that Mrs. Green
' Avrote the letters to save the honor
! of herself, Sister Hortencia and the

feeblatt Staff Convicted.
-Philadelphia. Sept. 27. The five
members of the staff of the Phila
delphia. Tageblatt, on trial in the
? federal " court here, were found
iguilty late today of conspiracy to
violate the espionage act.l
rIS afternoon witnesses the
opening performance of the
musical "attraction, purposely
booked for Ak-Sar-Ben week Al
Reeves and his famous beauty show.
Fox and Stewart ate the featured
comedians. Beautiful Maybelle Gib
son is the prima donna. The sup
port includes Eleanor Marshall,
Rene Cooper and "your old pal Al"
Reeves (himself), and a big beauty
chorus. On parade days and nights
the curtain will not rise until after
the pageants pass the Gayety. Sun
day's matinee starts at 3.
"Happiness," which. is playing at
the Brandeis theater for the last two
times todayT was produced last sea
son in New York, where it ran the
greater part of the year. Jenny, a
little messenger for a dressmaking
establishment, is the strong pivotal
character, who, by her determina
tion and industry, sets an example
that upsets the habits and tradi
tions of a bunch of New York's
fashionable idlers, and forces them
to realize that there is something
else to live for than mere self-grati
fication.
Christie MacDonald and the other
features that have made the Or
pheum a pleasant place for immense
audiences all week, will be seen for
the last two times, matinee and night,
today. As usual on Saturday night
the curtain will go up at 8 o'clock
sharp. Derwent Hall Caine comes
next week in "The Iron Hand" by
Hall Caine. There will be a stellar
feature calculated to attract musi
cal people and especially notable.
Tina Lerner, the famous Russian
pianist, who has been heard in con
cert and with some of the leading
orchestras is making her first Or
pheum tour.
There will be two performances
today of "The Man They Left Be
hind," at the Boyd theater, which
will be the last of the engagement
of this play. This is a romance of
patriotism and loyalty. The story
holds the interest from the opening
to the fall of the last curtain and
is a series of climaxes interspersed
with scenes in which good clean
comedy has full swing.
The Brooklyn Four, singers and
funmakers, who have been enter
taining at the Empress, will be seen
for the last times today. Thiessen's
Pets, a dog novelty, has proven to
be a treat for the children. The Five
Galvins perform some startling feats
as novelty cyclists, and Sam and
Ada Beverly have a pmedy sketch
that is very entertaining. "
Fiske O'Hara will be seen at the
Brandeis theater, for one week com
mencing Sunday night, September
29. Mr. O'Hara's starring vehicle
this year is a new three-act roman
tic farce, "Marry In Haste," and was
written by Anna Nichols, who has
provided him with his plays for the
last two seasons.
"Ben Hur" will begin its season
in New York the last of the month.
Samuel Shipman and Aaron -Hoffman
will write a play to be used by
Sam Bernard and Louis Mann next
season.
Florence Nash is to appear in a
nlaw railed "Remnant." under the
management of' Charles Emerson
Cook. Marie Lohr has been suc
cessful in the play in London.
Julie Opp is to appear in a big
allegorical spectacle called "Free
dom," of which, with Lee Shubert,
she is also the producer. The play
portrays the development of the
spirit of national freedom from the
time of Alfred the Great to the
present and requires a company of
1,000. The purpose of the produc
tion is to raise money for the dis
abled military and naval officers of
the English-speaking peoples.
WAR. PUZZLES
Sugar Prices Advance ,
To 11 Cents Per Pound
The retail price of white sugar
has been advanced from 9Vj to 11
cents a pound, effective at once. The
advance is authorized by the food
administration and is for the pur
pose of equalizing prices the coun
try over.
Food administration officials are
of the opinion that the new sugar
prices will maintain for an indefinite
period. Cuban sugar coining onto
the market is not expected to bring
about any reduction. The new price
was made after the Cuban stocks
were taken into consideration.
It is expected that the best sugar
of this year's crop will commence to
move out of the factories within the
next 30 days, but these stocks are
not expected to have any bearing on
prices.
Food administration officials as
sert that that in the Atlantic coast
country the 11 cent price became ef
fective six weeks ago but the ad
vance in the central west was held
off on account of the sugar supply
havincr been bought at old and low
er prices.
Stockman Claims Damages
On Ground of Poor Service
Smith E. Winchell filed suit
against the Union Stock Yards com
pany in district court Friday, alleg
ing in his petition that the company
is indebted to him for. $985.62.
Winchell alleges he shipped 88
head of cattle to the Union Stock
Yards company and the cattle were
found suffering with scabies, order
ed "dipped" and owing to alleged
poor facilities of the company the
stock was two days late in delivery.
He alleges that he lost $1 a 100
weight by the delay.
