Defendants to Appeal fron Ver?
dict at Instance of Embassy
in Washington.
San Francisco, Oct. 27. Ralph K.
Blair bbu l'r. Thomas Addis were
found guilty to-day of conspiring to
hire men i? the United States for
British military service. The BSSOS

the British army, and Hurry G. Lan
were not co - ?? red. The s .

was found not guilty.
The verdict was returned under In?
structions from Junge Maurice T.
Dooling in the I'niled States Court.
The stipulations filed with Judire
Dooling admitted that funds for re?
cruiting were furnished by A. Carne

The Blair-Murdocs Company was
found not guilty. Stipulations wers
Rled by proaecutiOB and defence that
an instructed verdict should be given.
A jury was empanelled a? a mutter
of legal procedure.
Counsel for the defence said an ap?
peal would be taken. It was reported
that the British Consulate, which wa?
represented in court during the trial,
arced such a course.
Judge Pooling's findings conformed
with the action of John W. Preston,
attorney for the governmei.*. who did
no! ;ie ? the cases against Croft and
Lane, whom, lie said, he cons., i
merely as "tools." Mr. Preeton Stated
in court that he considered l'r. Addis
? ir the ''ringleaders."
The pe-ial'.y for the offence is im?
prisonment for not more than I n ?
.ear< or a fine of not more than $10,
M0, or both. The neutrality cases
came into prominence when nineteen
men bound for England were stopped
in Chicago and New York and brought
back here. The defendants admitted
that they had provided these men with
money, which, the government attor?
neys asserted in court, came from
I'.iif.sh official sources, but maintained
they merely used it to send men to
Knitlan.I, without any agreement as to
lighting.

cials f.s likely to bring to an issue th.'
tion of whether the United States

based on a policy which might oper?

in time of war.
Tho statute under which Blair and
Addis were convicted does not affect

foreign power who arrange for the re?
turn of reservists, but imposes heavy
penalties <-n the afents ?f n nation

Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, British Am?
bassador, expressed surprise when he
learned of the convictions. Embassy

partment of Justice, and it is under?
stood that at tho embassy's instance
the cases will be appealed, and that
if tho result is then unchanged tho
matter will be taken up diplomatically
between Great Britain and the t'nlted
States.

Choosing a wedding gift is In some respects like choos?

the simile further, unsuccessful wedding gifts, like un?
happy marriages, are often the result of haste.
We speak with conviction upon the suhject of Wedding

most people, and we know equally well that there never
was a gift problem which Gorham 's could not solve !

Chamberlain already virtually has
pledged himself to the programme in
interviews given out before leaving
Portland. Hs introduced last session
bills covering part of tho incresse in
the army which has been included in
the administi tion -.neme.
9 i .itor Chamberlain believes that

for military service, so as to pn
officers for the volunteers and men
with the rudiments of a military train?

"My idea," said the Senator, "is not
a big, bulky standing army, nor an ex-'
pensive army, but rather a small, well i
trained, efficient army, with special at?
tention to be paid to the trained i
cers. We should have a more efficient
national guard, while tho youths of the
nation could be transformed into a po?
tential army of great strength by some
such - raining as the Swiss.

think it is generally understood that

military training as a part of their
curricula, and this could be extended to
include practically all schools and col?

Hampton Furniture
tor the Entrance Hall
THE we?-nigh palatial dig?
nity which distinguishes
Italian Furniture of those
Renaissance times, when Rome and
Florence and Venice were in the
proud plenitude of their power,
gives today to the Entrance Hall
that suggestion of stateliness which
should greet ^one on the very
threshold of the modern home.
Hampton Shops Reproductions
offer the readiest means of securing
such Furniture as this?the massive
arcaded Table marked by the virile
carving of its scrolled and console?
like supports, the friendly Banquette
with its gracefully curving legs and
spindle stretchers, or the princely
Banquettirg Chair, the formality of
the lines relieved by the soft tones
of its coverings, of faded Italian
velvet.
