Pamphlet Which Minnesota
Supreme Court Said Was
Not Disloyal Is Introduced
During Trial.
Jackson, Minn., July 1. The war
program of the Nonpartisan league,
drawn up neariy two years ago in
St aul, was introduced as evidence
today at the trial of A, C. Townley,
president of the National Nonpar
tisan league, and Joseph Gilbert, a
league organizer, who are charged
with conspiracy to commit dis
loyalty. The Minnesota supreme court,
some time ago, decided that the
words used in the pamphlet, which
had been distributed by the Non
partisan league, were not in them
selves disloyal. The prosecution in
the present case argued that they
would attempt to show that this
pamphlet was one method used by
the league to discourage aggressive
Dartieination in the war. Tudze E.

document had been referred to at
the trial and that it might be ad

in Operation of
Farm Loan Banks
Washington, July 1. Complaints
of alleged abuses in the operation of
the federal farm loan law were
made in the senate. Senator Smoot,
republican. Utah, urged immediate
repeal of the provisions authorizing
organization of. joint stock land
banks, which he declared were mak
ing excessive profits. He assailed
particularly the Chicago Joint Stock
Land bank.
Senator Poindexter, republican,
Washington, charged that the farm
land loan law was being evaded, the
maximum amount of loans being ob
tained by farmers through deeding
parts of their land to members of
their family who then secure the
maximum individual loan.
Denver Car Men to Quit
if Wages and Fares Are Cut
Denver, Colo.. July 1. Five cent
car fare will go into effect in Den

oassed by the city council last night
repealing the six-cent tramway fare
ordinance.
A strike of street car employes
is a possible result of an announced
cut in wages that will follow the
return to a five-cent fare.
The tramway company has an

wage scale when the fare is cut and

Robert H. Manley Resigns
As Commissioner of C. of C.
Successor Will Probably
Be Named by Executive
Committee at Meet
ing Next Week.
Yesterday at the meeting of the
executive committee of the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce, Robert H.
Manley. commissioner since Febru
ary 1, '1914, presented his resignation
and the same was accepted, effective
July IS. In leaving his official posi
tion with the chamber, Mr. Man
ley goes with the Northwestern Mu
tual Life Insurance company, as as
sociate general agent, with head
quarters in Omaha.
The successor to Mr. Manley will
probably be named by the executive
committee of the chamber at the
meeting next week. Members of
the committee have a large list of
candidates to select from, but so far
have not picked the man for the
place.
The resignation of Mr. Manley will
come as a complete surprise to mem
bers of the chamber. Members of
the executive committee have antici
pated it for some time. Two years
ago he sought to resign and go into
business for himself, but on account
of the numerous war activities in
which members of the executive
committee of the chamber were en
gaged, he was induced to remain un
til the close of the war.
Prior to going with the Chamber

of Commerce as its commissioner,
Mr. Manley was advertising manager
for the Brandeis stores. During the
past year he served on the national
committee on soldiers' employment
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States. During the period of
the war he had charge of all the war
savings stamp drives in Omaha and
managed their conduct. He is now
chairman of war savings for Omaha
and a member of the state committee.
CONGRESS DRYS
LINE UP FORCES
AGAINST BEER
(Continued From Page One.)
uary 16, 1920, will be attacked in the
minority report.
Bitter Fight Promised.
While the majority will attempt
to obtain speedy consideration of
its new enforcement measure, indi
cations were that there would be a
bitter fight on the floor. Chairman
Volstead of the judiciary committee
was in conference during the day
with Republican Leader Mondell,
but no statement was made public
as to what was discussed.
When the Igoe request was before
the house, Representative Gard,
democrat, Ohio, asked Mr. Mondell
what decision had been reached as
to presentation next week of en
forcement legislation, to which
question the floor leader said he was
not prepared to state at this time.
The position of the "drys" in con
gress is that they will stop the sale
of 2f4 per cent beer within two
weeks by rushing through next week
a bill defining intoxicating liquor as
a beverage or product containing
one-half of one per cent alcohol.
Liquor Men Rejoicing.
Baltimore, July 1. Liquor men
here are rejoicing over a decision in
the United States district court by
Judge Rose, in accordance with the
ruling of the United States district
court of New York handing down
an opinion which literally gives
brewers in the local district a free
right to manufacture and sell beer
of not only half per cent, but 2
per cent until the supreme court
makes the final ruling on the ques
tion. The opinion was in the case of
Standard Brewing company, the of
ficials of which were indicted for
manufacturing beer of one-half of
one per cent.
Judge Rose sustained the demur
rer, but in doing so informed the
defendants that they would be still
conducting their business at their
own risk by manufacturing beer.
"I shall sustain the demurrer,"
said Judge Rose in closing the opin
ion, "My decision will not differ
from that made in the other courts,
which is to be finally decided by the
supreme court. It simply means
that a man shall manufacture or sell
vinous or fermented liquors that
are not intoxicating. He may not,
however, sell anything that is in
toxicating. If the supreme court
decided that the judge in New York
was wrong and that I erred in fol
lowing him, then another indictment
can be obtained against these gen
tlemen and you know what that
means. That is the chance that you
will take."

tenders were arrested here on orders
of Francis M. Wilson, United States
attorney, charged with selling beer.
They were arraigned before Com
missioner Harry L. Arnold and en
tered pleas of guilty. Bonds were
fixed at $500. These arrests are be
lieved to be the first of the kind in
the United States, said District At
torney Wilson.
The federal attorney said he had
received no word, one way or an
other, from Attorney General Pal
mer and was proceeding on his own
initiative under the law which pro
hibits the sale of "beer, wine, or
other intoxicating malt or vinous
liquors."
Less than one-half of Kansas
City's saloons were open Monday
and practically all that were open
sold only "near beer" or light wines,
it was said.
None of the city breweries oper
ated. Application Denied.
San Francisco, July 1. Federal
Judge William Sawtelle Tuesday de
nied the application of the Rainier
Brewing company of San Francisco
for an injunction restraining the
United States attorney from bring
ing criminal proceedings against the
company for manufacturing after
May 1, or selling after June 20, beer
of per cent or less alcoholic con
tent. Practically all breweries through
out California will resume the man
ufacture and sale of beer of not
more than 2.75 per cent alcoholic
content Wednesday, according to a
statement issued by the attorney for
the California State Brewers' asso
ciation, at the conclusion of a meet
ing attended by representatives of
brewing interests throughout the
state. ,
Illinois Is Real Dry.
Chicago, July 1. Illinois was
made entirely dry and reduced to
near-beer, the one-half of one per
cent by State Attorney General
Brundage's interpretation of the
new state "search and seizure" law.
The latter, Mr. Brundage said, was
in full effect and defined non-intoxicating
liquors at no more than one
half of one per cent of alcoholic
content.
Chicago authorities accepted the
Brundage opinion, but with a de
gree of reservation. Corporation
Counsel Ettelson advised the chief
of police to observe the interpreta
tion "unless and until otherwise ad
vised." More than half of Chicago's 6,000
saloons remained open, but the
Brundage opinion was regarded as
a severe blow. But one violation
of wartime prohibition was reported
to the federal district attorney.
Refuse Any Licenses.
The city collector's office refused
to issue liquor licenses unless the
corporation counsel issued a favor
able opinion.
As a result of developments,
liquor men in this district were sub
mitting to prohibition and saloons
remained open and were selling soft
drinks. William G. Legner, head
of the brewers''association, said the
brewers still stood by their decision
announced yesterday to make noth
ing more than one-half of one per
cent alcoholic beer.
Ernest Kunde, president of the
Illinois Liquor Dealers' Protective
association, said he saw nothing to
be done except await the lifting of
the wartime ban by President Wil
son, although his organization
would make a legal fight on the
search and seizure law as well as
against all prohibition legislation.
Milwaukee to Sell Beer.
Milwaukee July 1. Although sa
loon licenses in Milwaukee expired
at midnight Monday, 2.75 beer and
wine may be sold, according to the
interpretation of the law by City
Clerk Leuch, but no licenses will
be issued until after demobilization.
The common council granted 1,400
saloon licenses, but directed the city
clerk to withheld the permits until
wartime prohibition is ended by de
mobilization of the army.
Very little 2.75 beer was being
sold in Milwaukee, the supply being
about exhausted.
Employes of Kansas Stores
Will Help In Wheat Harvest
Salina, Kan., July 1. Business
men of Salina have made plans to
release their employes for work in
the harvest fields, which will start
shortly. According to a letter to the
Chamber of Commerce from E. E.
Frizell, state farm labor agent, all
wheat must be cut within 15 days.
Any left uncut after that time will
be lost.
Many firms throughout the state,
it is reported, will release their men
for harvest work. Other firms will
have women do as much work as
they can in their places. Some
towns will send out men in the
late afternoon and early evening to
harvest .near the town to help save
the crop.
NEW YORK SENDS
MAIL TO CHICAGO
BY AIRPLANE NOW
First Plane Leaves Gotham
at 5;15 A. M. and Flies to
Belfont, Pa., Where it
Transfers Its Load.
Washington, July 1. Air mail
service between New York and Chi
cago was inaugurated today with a
six-hour service. The first plane
left New York at 5:15 a. m., flew
to Belfont, Pa., at the rate of 123
miles an hour and there transfer
red its mail to another plane which
reached Cleveland at 9:30 a. m.. in
time to transfer the mail to the reg
ular Cleveland-to-Chicago machine.
"Mail can now be sent by air
plane from New York, leaving there
about 5 a. m. and reaching Chicago
about 1 p. m.," said the Postoffice
department, announcing the inaugu
ration of the service. "About 12,000
letters a day are taken from Pacific
coast points and through air mail
service from New York to Chicago
will advance the delivery of mail
for Seattle, San Francisco, Los An
geles, and other cities about 24 hours
sooner than if sent from New York
through by rail. This applies to let
ters received in New York post
offices for the 8:40 p. m. train west
ward. "Air mail from the west for New
York and points east is taken on at
Chicago and Cleveland. A plane
leaves Chicago at 2:30 p. m., arriv
ing at Cleveland at 5:30 p. m., in
time to connect with the 20th Cen
tury Limited, and the mail arrives in
New York about 9 o'clock the next
morning.
This gives the business men about
three hours more to dispatch mail
from Chicago than if sent by train
about noon. An airplane leaves
Cleveland in the morning at 8:30,
taking all air mail from train con
nections, and the mail arrives in
New York about 1 p. m. This also
gives the business men a late night
service by train to Cleveland, con
necting with the morning plane at
that point for New York and points
east, and advancing mail delivery
many hours over that by through
train service."
Bolshevist Books Seized.
Montreal, July 1. Tons of bol
shevist and socialist literature were
seized in a raid on the foreign quar
ters of the city conducted early to
day by 130 patrolmen under the
direction of Chief of Police Belan-ger.
