GERMAN CONSUL IS
 SENT TO PRISON
Also Given Jail Term and Fine.
 of S1o,ooo

San Francisco, Jan. 23.-For the { first time in the history of the United States foreign consul-general. Franz Bopp, one of three consuls-general of Germany in this country was sentenc- ed yesterday to prison and payment of fine for violation of American neu- trality. Judge William H. Hunt in the United States district court sentenced Bopp to two years in the county jail and assessed an aggregate fine of $10,- 900 against him, the prison and jail terms to run concurrently.
 Three of Bopp's aids, Vice-Consul E. H. von Schack, Lieut. George Will helm von Brincken and c. c. Crowley, one time secret agent, received like sentences. Mrs. Margaret w. Cornell, Crowley's secretary, was given concur rent prison and jail sentences of one !. year and one day and of one year without fines.
 F Bopp and the four others were con- victed by a federal jury on January II of conspiring to violate American neutrality by setting afoot a military enterprise against Canada in aid of Germany and of conspiring to violate ' the Sherman law by dynamiting muni- lions ships in interstate commerce.
 The first Is felony, for which all except Mrs. Cornell received the max mum prison sentence. The second is a misdemeanor, and the defendants except Mrs. Cornell received the maxi mum sentence. Mrs. Cornell escaped the $5,o0O fine. Judge Hunt gave the defense thirty days to perfect an ap- peal to the United States circuit court . Of appeals and he fixed bail for Bopp and von Schack at $10,000.
 The defense, it is said, will center their appeal on the military enterprise conspiracy conviction, setting up that Crowleys alleged plans to dynamite intuition ships and trains in Canada
 did not constitute a military enter prise.'

Washington, Jan. 23.-In 1913 the United States sent direct to Russia only one per cent. of the hardware imported by that country, as con- trasted to seven per cent. supplied by England, three per cent by France, and seventy-five per cent. by Ger many. But abnormal demands for hardware may be looked for as soon as peace is made, asserts report on the subject made public by the Bu- reau of Foreign and Domestic Com merce, Department of Commerce, and 1t is urged that American manufac- turers and exporters begin at once their preparations for supplying an important part of these demands.
 The immense resources of the Rus sian empire in iron, copper, silver.
 gold, platinum, manganese. petro- leum, salt asbestos and otser miner als in chemicals, in wood, in fertile and extensive agricultural and graz
 ing lands. and in large fishing areas suggest the possibilities with which
 this rich field is replete. says the re-
 port. In these possibilities must also
 be included the building of transpor
 tation, light and power systems, tele-
 graphs and telephones, and other necessary accompaniments and eX- pressions of industrial growth. In mining, in agriculture, in industry, the change from old processes to new,
 from handwork to machine work, has | begun and will continue. All kinds of American tools, hardware to ma chine work, has begun and will con-
 tinue. All kinds of American tools, ! hardware, machinery, agricultural | implements, etc.. should find ready 1 market in all sections of the Russian 1 empire.

tisans are purchasers of the cheap and medium grades of goods, both in their homes and ir their trades, but they aspire to the possession of the better qualities. The larger facto- ries are willing to purchase first class goods and material, but the smaller ones. will buy them only in limited quantities, claiming that good tools and implements would either be lost or stolen or ruined by unskillful workmen. From the third class comes good demand, extending from the cheap and medium to the very best qualities of goods The price is not so much a consideration with this class. though it's members are prone to bargain. They often buy new articles before having used up the old ones, which results in a big turnover for the dealer. The up keep of the civil, military, and naval institutions makes the governm ent also an important consumer of all kinds of tools, implements. and fix" lures, and results in the placing of an occasional large order with the do- mestic dealer.
 American hardware is we'll liked in Russia. It is often preferred to hard ware from other countries on account of it's excellent finish, uniformity, and workmanship, the ingenuity of it's construction, and the possibility of renewing parts even after years, to- gether with it's applicability to the work for which it Is intended. The Russian consumers confidence in American tools often induces him to pay higher prices for them in prefer ence to taking those of other makes. Because of the ingenuity of the Amer ican tool. the Russian is often heard to say, "Molodex Amerikantz," or Clever American."
 No Hardware on Hand.
 Through interviews with number of the leading hardware stores and wholesale dealers the writer found that it is almost impossible to obtain samples of hardware that is, or was before the war, in any great demand in this country. Since countries, and pra actically all such hardware as is most generally used and in demand has been disposed of. Consumers, therefore, are now forced to buy tools that do not entirely answer their requirements, that may even have been in stock for number of years, and that under ordinary circum- stances might never have been sold. As an instance may be mentioned va rious kinds of American saws, which

American Hardware Makers Hape New Field in Russia Opportunities for Extending Business By Sales Land of Czar Said to Be Good-Germany's Command of
 Situation Ended By War;

cording to this report, Americans will have to learn great deal, how ever, about the special methods of doing business in Russia and will have to become accustomed, prob- ably with some difficulty, to the slow and tedious work involved in closing deals satisfactorily and to the Rus sian dealers disposition to procras- tinate in coming to decisions on bus mess matters. They will also meet special obstacles in the difficulty of the language and in trying to obtain reliable credit ratings for individual firms. American universities and business colleges could materially as sist American trade with Russia by establishing courses in the language, and the organization of a Russian American bank would eliminate the present necessity of relying on the banking facilities of other countries in Russia.
 What Is Required.
 Ideas as to the Russian demand for hardware are erroneous if figured on the basis of the country's population, which is about 70 per cent. greater than that of the United States. The consuming elements may be classi- fled as follows: CD The peasants (moujiks) who comprise the greater portion of the Russian population; CD the workmen; (3) the officials (civil. military, and naval.) the com- mercial world, the large farmers, and those following the civil professions; (4) the government. The peasants have few wants, being very poor: therefore, although they constitute the bulk of the Russian people, their demand Is inconsequential Their greatest need is for scythes, sickles, and other agricultural implements, which are financed by the so-called
 zemstyo," working on a co-opera' , tive basis and supported to a certain degree by the government. The ar
