SEATTLE, March 2l. - Not guilty" was the verdict of the Federal grand jury which for the past three weeks has been hearing ,he evidence in the conspiracy case against city officials. The jury was given it's instructions yesterday eve ming at 5:3O o'clock and deliberated all night returning the mot guilty verdict in open court at 9:3O O. clock this morning. Federal Judge Jeremiah Neterer, in his inStruc- tions to the jury ruled that if the jury found that Mayor Gill has ta- ken $4,OOO from the BillinGsleyS, confessed bootleggers, he was not necessarily guilty Of conspiracy as the government was not trying that part of the chages which had been alleged in the trial.
 The mot guilty" verdict exon crates the following on trial of charges of conspiracy growing out of Seattle's illicit liquor traffic: Mayor Hiram c. Gill, Chief of Po- lice Charles Rockingham, and four city detectives, Meyer NJ. Pey- ser, John Poolman, James Doom and Dan J. McLennan. Former County Sheriff Robert Hodge was charged with conspiracy but Judge Neterer declared that the evidence presented by the government was not sufficient to implicate him and he was discharged ten days ago.
 The court room was damned when the jury announced this mornning that a verdict had been reached. Mayor Gill and Chief Rockingham both stated last eve ming when the jury retired that they would be exonerated as the government had only relied on boot leggers, eX-conYicts and the hoi- poi of the tenderloin to substan- tiate the charges.

Stone Breaks Silence.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Sen- ator William Stone of Missouri broke his silence today on the in- ternational situation and said that as war appears probable he will vote against the war declaration but will give the President his un- limited support if war is decided lpon. He said that he did not know the presidents program but would cooperate in en"hlin@ Coo gress to express promptly It's con. yictions.
 Foreign relations committee will meet at three o'clock on the after noon of the day the President ad- dresses Congress.
 Senator Stone intimated that the handling of the war resolution in the Senate would be left to some other Senator acceptable to the President and committee.
 Senator G. N. Hitchcock, of Ne braska, next in rank to Senator Stone, has told the President that he opposes the war declaration and 1t appears probable that Senator John S. Williams, of Mississippi, next in line on the Democratic side might be chosen to have charge of the resolution fir the Senate.

s The same excitement, the same
eager planning, the same thrills Of
pleasure and happiness are going on
in the minds u The s.iee jyTcs,thfE. graduates
Of this year, just as they have every
past year and as they will in every
year to come. Only the girls are DIFF
ferent, and only the frocks they wear
are different.
Many a fashion authority, ! am sure
is being consulted already as to how
the graduation frock should be made.
First the material then the style.
These are the two important items in
planning the graduation frock.
The choice Of the material depends
on how much is to be spent on the
dress; the choice Of style depends on
your figure and your individual taste.
The simplest cotton frock may be
made to look as distinctive as a dress
that costs very much. A
Very charming indeed arr, the sheer
filny materials. Chiffon, Georgette
crepe, silk voile, marquisite, or
CANDY, batiste, and fine voile are the
materials most in vogue. This year
organdy is a prime favorite, and net
is another, and sometimes both Of
these are combined in q dress.
Net FrOcks and Laces Most Popular
There is a great deal Of lace used;
lace founcing, banding, fallover and
narrow edging used in the various diff
,ferent ways all tend to make dress
more elaborate and just the essence
of daintiness that every girl pictures
her frock to be in her minds eye.
Nets of all kinds are in use this sea-
son,s including very fine nets, coarser
nets and the open square-meshed nets
which combine especially well with
filet lace, one Of the very fashionable
laces this summer. ..4,
Net dresses are usually worn over
silk slips, but some are worn over
slips Of very fine batiste, while very
