Kate Pichards;Q}Hare has been con- victed by’a representative North Da- kota jury under the espionage act of June 15, 1917. ‘That in itself is im- portant. Kate Richards O’Har 8 counsel for the government described her, a dangerous” voman. telligent, fearless and fanatic on the subject of socialism. As a paid pro’ gandist she has gone up and dow the country preaching against war war in any form or for any cause, no ragyer HAN FABER TS RATT EH has done cannét be estimated. Its ef- fects in one North Dakota community could be traced through the witnesses for the defense from Bowman, each of whom, man and woman, testified that nothing was said in ‘Mrs. O'Hare's lecture at Bowman which gave them offense or which did not find them in hearty accord. A majority of them ap- plauded. tee More important than the mere con- viction of Mrs. O'Hare, who faces a possible 10 years or wore behind the bars of a federal prison, ‘is the rebuke which a representative group of North Dakota | men—farmers, professional men, laborers and merchants—have administered to the Totten type of propaganda here at home. The Tot- tens—Rev. George A., president of Mr. Townley's Northwest Public Service bureau, which supplies league news- papers with their opinions, and an ap- pointee of Governor Frazier on the state board of regents; Judge E. B. Totten, a prospective league candidate for the supreme court, county judge of Bowman, and Mrs. Lillian Totten, postmistress at Bowman, whose patri- otism was questioned in the United States senate and before the same . rand jury which indicted Mrs.‘O’Hare --were here in force. They -were Plainly, openly hore in defense of Mrs. O'Hare. The Tottens, as much as Mrs. O'Hare herself, appeared in the testimony of witnesses for the de- fense. The Tottens were used by the attorney for the defense in a brilliant closing argument by which he sought to sweep from the minds of the jurors the logical conclusions they had drawn from the prosecution's array of fac’ a ee When such a jury as that which tried Mrs. O'Hare after less than 30 minutes’ deliberation found Mrs. O'Hare guilty as charged, they filed in behalf of North Dakota a protest against the Totlenesque brand of poli- tics. The downfall of the Tottens’ defense of sedition is the best cation the patriotism of North Dakota has yet received. 1s The fact that the governor of North | Dakota has chosen to place onc of the defenders of Mrs. O'Hare at the head of the state's great educational institutions where this man must stand as an example of the governor's | ~}a mass be members of the. party which elected Governor Frazier, Nor can the rank and file of the | league nor the people of the state as | held responsible for the » which rnor Fra: eftuls zier upon the Tottehs while Mrs and removal from her position as pos yiten was facing indictment ress for having entertained in her publicly ac: » al Bowman and ditionist. ne ® ‘The great church whose dis su perintendent sits at the same table with a defender of sedition cannot be made to suffer for the politic tions of one of its honored servants. These incidents are exceptions. They are found in rather high places in North Dakota, but they are not typical nor representative. That fact was im- pressed upon the nation yesterday when that federal court jury of 12 average American citizens devoted less than a half hour to making up its mind about Mrs. O'Hare and the professional politicians, office-holders and reformers who rallied to her de fense. tained this a a 8 It is true that Mrs, O’Hare was laboring in the interests of, or at least co-operating with the Nonpartisan league organization. But that organi- zation at the St. Paul sedition fest; in its opposition to the first liberty Joan and in its support of Senator La- Follette, has shown that it does not represent the rank and file of its mem- bership. And the fact that the Tot- tens placed on the stand in defense | two day 30 minutes | of guilty. of their seditionist friend a Nonpar tisan leaguer from Bowman county i: not an indication that any large per. centage of the Nonpartisan league members, even in unfortunate Bow man, approve of Mrs. O'Hare or Sen ator LaFollette or Emma Goldman o1 Max Eastman and the things they stand for. North Dakota is right, and the na tion in the press reports on millions of breakfast tables this morning, founc concrete evidence of that fact in the verdict of the O'Hare jury. eee Kate Richards O’Hare, soap-box ora tor, agitator and writer of the extreme socialist cult, stands convicted in the federal. ¢ourt, of this city for seditiou. and treasoriable utterances.

She was an agent of the German spy sys- tem when the intimacy began and the extent of her reform since the United States joined the allies is a subject on which there is no light. Patriotically inclined leaders of the public’ mind do not enter into such associations, and a fellow-feeling for such as Kate Richards O'Hare is not a thing to boast of by any whose sym pathy is untainted of the disease that has afflicted her.

Goes to Jury at 5 O'clock. The case of the United States ver- sus Kate Richards O'Hare, charged with the violation of the espionage act “f June 15, 1917, went to a federal district court jury at 5 o'clock Friday afternoon after Attorney Lovell, for the defense, had filed eleven specific exceptions to the charge of Judge Wade of Iowa to the jurors. Mr. Lavell took exceputions to the court’s statement to the jury that the charge had nothing to do with the Tot- ens of Bowman county, leaders of the faction which furnished all of the witnesses for the defense; to the court’s statement that it’ was not in evidence that Judge Totten’s wife had been appointed positmistress of Bow- man by the Wilson administration nor by any other; to the court’s statement chat the fact that a witness chanced to hold a political office should not’ be considered by the jury in weighing his evidence. Mr. Lovell also took ex- ceptions to Judge Wade's definition of a reasonable doubt and to the hope he expressed that any person guilty of the charge preferred in the indictment might be convicted. Judge Wade before giving the case to the jury replied to each of Attor- ney Lovell’s exceptions in order and noted that exceptions and answers would be included in the record. ’ About Mr. Totten. The Totten’s were brought into the judge's charge to the jury through Attorney Lovell’s effulgent praise in his closing argument. He called upon the jury to consider Judge Totten as a man whom had receiver the endorse- ment of the neonle of his county, and to regard Mrs. Totten as the represen- tative of President Wilson at Bowman, and appointee working hand in hand with the administration. Judge Wade, instructed the jury to obliterate these impressions and to remember that nothing had been introduced in evi- dence to show that Judge Totten had ever received the endorsement of his county nor that Mrs. Totten was an appointee of Pi ident Wilson or of any other administration. The Tottens, he charged the jury, were not con- cerned in the case, nor 3 any po-| litical issue or any feud which might exist in Bowman.

RAILS BEAR BRUNT OF EARLY REVERSAL New York, Dec. 7.—Stocks were heavy in the first half of today's stag- nant session, but made up part of their loss later, though closing with a heavy tone. The movement was the norrowest and least important of any day for many weeks, total dealings ag- gregating only 330,000 shares. The same influences which so long have served to check activity and in- itiative were again operative. Foreign news offered little encouraging devel- opments at Washington were reflect- ing in the hesitant tone of industrials and war issues. Rails bore the brunt of the early reversal, gross recessions of one to two points. Yet new minimums were reached by Kaltimore and Ohio at 54 and Pennsyl- vania at 55%, selling of the latter again suggesting urgent liquidation. Utilities exiended recent losses, Western Union, however, regaining its 12 point decline.

Corn closed heavy, % to Ic net lower, with July 121% to 121% and May 118% to 119.. Oats fin- ished 2% to 3'c down, and provisions off 12 to 45 cents. The ban on eastward shipments started corn prices down grade at once. It was conceded on all sides that the probable effect of the em- bargo would be to build up stocks here and at other important termin- als, especially when the increasing supply of cars in the corn belt began to exercise greater influence. Gossip was current that within a fortnight the delivery of the entire total of 10,- 000 cars which the government had or- dered to the west would be completed. The fact that the snowfalls throughout the chief producing states had not been of a character to interfere with the curing of corn acted as a further bar to any important rally. Liquidation by holders took place on a large scale in the oats market. The December option in particular suffered in value. Provisions fell with grain and hogs.
