PANDOLFO MUST
BE CONVICTED.
SAYS I.ANDIS
Refuses' to Take Case From
tion of Promoter Is
Necessary.
Chicago, Dec. 5. The case of S.
C. Pandolfo, promoter and president
nf the run Xfntnr Car eomoanv of
St. Cloud. Minn., and 12 other offi
cial of the company charged with
conspiracy to use the mails to da
fraud was given to the jury at 10:20
Vclock tonight.
jtidee , l.anclis renised motions
!y defense lawyers to instruct the
jury to find defendants not guilty.
"it is only for the court to end the
prosecution where there is no evi
dence at all against the defendant
not to put his own interpretation on
evidence which admits of two inter
pretations," said the judge in the ab
sence of the jurors.
He continued that in the case of
S. C. Tandolfo the evidence not only
mad it possible, but necessary, to
convict him, in his opinion. He dis
cussed the case of the other 12 de
fendants, ending with the eight di-
rectors of the corporation who live
in St. Cloud, Minn., the site of the
Yin plant. ( .
' f!ontemntihle Sales.
"I have a lot of sympathy for
what you said about these eight
men," he told Senator R. B. Brower.
"I am not saying what I would do
as a juror, but as a judge I cannot
dismiss them now."
"One thing I must say I cannot
understand that is the professions
men have expressed in the author
of all this,.. : '. ' . '
"There is another thing I want to
f ay and that is that the affirmative
willingness of the corporation to
take Liberty bonds for its stock is
rot nice. I'll go farther; than to say
it isn't nice. It is a contemptible
way to sell stock."
Ben Epstein opened the argu
ment for the proseewtion by outlin
ing Pandolfo's career in Texas and
New Mexico. He held up his finan
cial dealings and said they proved
him to be dishonest. H said that
bonds of the Pan company promo
tion of stock were given away for
letters of recommendation.
To Jury Saturday.
Coming down to the resolution of
September 7, 1917, by which the di
rectors gave Pandolfo the-spending
of 25 per cent of the proceeds from
stock sale's under their supervision,
the attorney charged that this was a
premeditated subterfuge to , aid
trouble with the Minnesota State Se
curities commission. There was a
session of court tonight in an effort
teKet the case to the jury tomor
row. Arguments on both sides are
limited to six hours.
The general charge against the 13
defendants is that of using the mails
lo obtain moneys by false pretenses
and of entering into a conspiracy to
do this. The punishment is a maxi
mum of five years imprisonment for
' the conspiracy and two years for
every count of the indictment prov
en against the defendant. The judge
may, however, make the sentence as
light as he pleases. There are nine
counts the indictment against the
Pan Motor officials.

Will Ship No Goods
To Any Miner or to
Mining Community.
Chicago, Dec. 5. John M.
Glenn, secretary of the Illinois
Manufacturers' association, an
nounced Friday that members of
his organization had begun a
boycott of clothing, food, fuel
and Other necessities against the
striking coal miners.
He said members of the asso
ciation are conducting the.' boy
cott as individuals in retaliation
against the strikers, who are re
sponsible for the fuel famine
which has paralyzed the business
of the country..
Secretary Glenn received a let
ter from one of his members
which read:
"I have held up every order
that comes from a mining com
munity and I will continue to
hold up such orders so long as
the strike i$ on and they are pre
venting coal from coming to us."
KIPLING URGES
REVERENCE FOR
THE HERO DEAD
Asks Tourists. Who Visit
French and Flanders Fronts
to Remember Deeds of
Victorious Armies.
London, Dec. 5. Rudyard Kip
ling, on behalf pi the imperial war
graves commission, has written an
earnest appeal to those visiting, or
intending to visit, the French and
Flanders fronts to observe reverence
for the dead. In part he writes:
"It should be remembrd this is
holy ground consecrated in every
part by the lives of men, and for
that reason not to be run over with
levity. ' It is inevitable that the han
dling of such multitures of sight
seers as are expected next year must
be managed along ordinary tourist
lines, so it rests with the individual
tourist to have respect for the spirit
that ties upon that land of desola
tion and to walk through it with
reverence.
"It is said there is a tehdency on
the part of some visitors to forget
this obligation. Nothing would uc
gained by giving specific instances
of what, after all, is more in the na
ture of unthinking carelessness than
intentional disrespect, but the im
perial war graves commission has
asked me to express our earest hope
that all who visit the battle areas
will bear in mind that at every step
they are in the presence of those
dead through the - merit of whose
sacrifice they enjoy their present
life and whatever measure of free
dom is theirs today."

are planning on issuing an appeal

ent upon receipt bv the operators
of a reply from President J. C.
Lewis of Iowa miners to. the ulti
matum of the operators. Lewis was
appealed to and asked to request
miners to return to work. Lewis
said there was nothing he could do
as the strike order had been with
drawn by Judge Andferson. .
Why don t you deal fairly with
the public if you're solicitous of
their interests? Lewis' asks. "-The
International union called the strike
and they have withdrawn the strike
order in compliance with Judge
Anderson's mandate. As you know,
I had nothine to do with orderine
the strike and of course since the
order has been withdrawn by the
international union there is notn-
ing further that I can do."
