the German papers.

LAMAR

A CONGRESSMAN FOUND
GUILTY BY JURY

New York, Dec. 3.-Dayid Lamar
was found guilty today of imperson-
ating Representative. A. Mitchell Pal
mer of Pennsylvania. for the purpose
of defrauding j. P. Morgan and

corporation.
He was sentenced to two years IN
the Atlanta prison. Counsel Tor
Lamar announced that they would ap
peal from the decision.
After Lamars counsel had surpis
ed the court Wednesday by announc-
ing that they would interpose no de-
fense, Henry E. Davis, chief counsel
for Lamar summed up and Judge
Sessions announced that the jury

prosecution had made its final ad-
dress.
The government based its case al
most entirely on the testimony OF
Lewis Case Ledyard regarding tele-

in February 1913, with a man who
represented himself to be Congress
man Palmer. but who it is charged
was the defendant.
The only contentious in Lamars
favor we're those made by his counsel
Wednesday in summing up.
Claims No Law Broken.
while we admit that Lamar rep
resented himself as a congressman,
he performed none of the functional
duties Of one" asserted Mr.. Davis.
He insisted that Lamar broke no law,
but merely used Representative Pal
mer's name in order to insure him
self a hearing: that Lamars conver-
sations with Ledyard had no refer
ence to congressional business. thus
putting the case outside the pale OF
the statute which the defendant is

UNITED STATES IS NOW THE
WORLDS MARKET PLACE
Machine Factories Reap Enormous
Orders From Britain, Russia
ard France

| Washington, d. c.. Dec. 3.-That
one year of war in Europe will add
$6OO,O0O,000 to the foreign commerce
OF the United States is the estimate
OF Edward E. Pratt, chief of the
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce. Mr.. Pratt has just completed
a study of the reports of American
ccnsuls and commercial representa-
| tives abroad, of agents of his bureau
in this country and of the new orders
| for American manufactures and pro-
ducts reported in commercial period
icals.
If the ratio Of increase recorded
since August. when the war begun, is
maintained until next August, he esti-
mates that new orders placed on the
books of American firms will total
half billion dollars.
Tool Plants Flooded by Orders.
AS specific data upon which to
base his estimates, Mr.. Pratt has the
report of j. Massel, special COM
mercial agent now enroute to South
America to study the machine tool
market there and prepare review OF
the needs of South American coun-
tries, which will be made available
to American manufacturers. In prep
aration for his trip, he visited virtu-
ally every large manufacturing plant
in the United States and estimated
that the machine tool manufacturing
alone have from $40 .O00,-
900 to $15,000,000 in new orders from
European countries now on their
be oks. One big plant, he said, has
enough work ahead OF 1t to keep it in
full operation "a hours day for the
next two years. Several concerns
already are preparing to increase

nands arising from the war.
