FURS TO BE HIGH.
Change in Fashion Has Boosted Price
of Pelts of Animals.


With the beginning of the open
season on raccoous and skunks today
an industry which annually nets gather
ers of peltrios in the state from $780,
GOO to $4,000 has begun-the trapping
of fur bearing animals. Raw furs of the
two animals mentioned, as well as those
of muskrats, mink, wildcats and foxes,
which are the principal varieties taken
III the Green Mountain state, were very
high in price for several years but Sc
many skins were gathered throughout
the country that the market became
flooded and the price dropped to very
low point last season, following the
opening of the European war.
The father of fashions saw a way out
Of this. He decreed that women s dress
es should be trimmed with furs to bs
''correct and now the demand foI
skins has become so great that the
available supply is exhausted.
1t IS too early fer fur buyers to sen,
out price lists but it is expected thai
prices quoted for pelts of the commone'
animals VIII be so to - per cent higher
than last season.

OFFICIALS GUILTY
Jury Finds Them Guilty OF
Conspiracy.
INTENT TO DECEIVE ISSUE
Judge Admitted Right To Send Out
Supplies, But Said Question OF
Intent To Deceive Was
lssue.

New York.-Three high officials and
subordinate officer of the Hamburg
American Line were found guilty in
the Federal District Court of having
violated the laws of the United States
in sending coal and other supplies to.
German cruisers in the South Atlantic
in the first few months Of the Eu-
ropean war. The jury returned yer
dict Of guilty on each of two indict-
ments.
The specific charge against the de-
PENDANTS was conspiracy to deceive
and defraud the United States. The
maximum penalty for each indictment
is two years Imprisonment and $4,000
fine.
In reaching its decision the jury is
reported to have taken only one bal
lot, and this after several hours Of dis
cussion of the evidence in detail.
An appeal, it seemed certain, will be
made to the Federal Court Of Appeals,
and in case the verdict is upheld, to
the Supreme Court of the United
States. In the meantime. the defend
ants probably viii remain at liberty
under $4,000 bail each, as 1t is the
present intention of the Government
not to ask that the bond be increased.
The four defendants affected by the
verdict are Dr. Karl Buenz, managing
director of the Hamburg-American
Line in New York, former German
Consul here, former German Minister
to Mexico and German Commissioner
in the Venezuelan arbitration proceed
ings before The Hague Tribunal;
George Koetter, general superintendent
of the line; Adolph Hachmeister, gen
eral purchasing agent. and Joseph
Poppinghaus, a former officer in the
German Navy, and at present second
officer in the Hamburg American
Line.
A fifth defendant, Felix Seffner,
supercargo on one OF the neutral
steamers sent to supply the German
neet, was not brought 10 tflal. he
was captured by the British while on
his errand of relief and is at the pres
ent time a prisoner in Canadian de-
tentiOn camp.
Defendants counsel was silent as to
the verdict. Roger b. Wood, the AS
sistant United States District Attor-
ney, who conducted the Governments
case. said:
"This verdict means only one thing
that the laws of the United States
must be observed by citizens Of all
the belligerent powers; that If our
laws are violated by any one of them
and the American Government finds it
out they will be prosecuted"
