10000 targets were thrown over the
waters of the Atlantic ocean for the
pleasure of 727 enthusiasts.
Ihat the earn to shoot" idea is

VERDICT OF GUILT
IN STOKES CASE
AT KANSAS CITY
Three Counts Garry Fine and
Possible Twenty Years
Imprisonment

Kansas City, Mo-. May 24.-Mrs.
Rose Pastor Stokes, charged with
violation of the espionage act, was
convicted by jury in Federal
Court last night. Mrs. Stokes was
convicted upon all three counts in
the indictment.
Francis NJ. Wilson, the United
States District Attorney. in sum-
ming up had told the jury that Mrs.
Stokes stands to-day as the most
subtle, vicious German propaganda
in America"
II do not charge that she is a paid
agent of the Kaiser" he continued.
but I do say she is frenzied fam
attic on socialism.
He denounced Mrs. Stokes for al
legged lack of patriotism and efforts
to spread what he termed her dis
loyal beliefs.
The prosecutor dwelt upon the fact
that, although Mrs. Stokes had con-
tended the letter of correction to the
newspaper on which the indictment
was founded had been hastily
written and i'll considered. the inter-
view it purported to correct had
been published in the papers of the
evening before and that she had had
all that night and the next morning
to deliberate on her reply.
Mrs. Stokes conviction carries
with it a possible penalty of a fine
of not more than $4,000 or twenty
years Imprisonment, or both, ON
each count.
Mrs. Stokes received the jury's
verdict without the slightest trace of
emotion. As she was leaving the
courtroom she intended going
about her that she intended going
on with her work regardless of the
outcome of the case.
IF l keep my health" she stated
i expect to continue my work and
II | should be locked up it would
make my efforts tremendously more
effective"
Pending the ruling upon the mo-
uon for new trial Mrs Stokes will
continue to be at liberty on bond.
The specific act upon which Mrs.
stokes was indicted was the writing
TO the Kansas City Star of a signed
communication in which she said:
No government which is for tbe
prohteers can also be for the peo-
pie the letter said, "and I am for
the people while the government is
for the profiteers."

rest l want to know. 1 have con-
nected myself with the Telegraph
in their newly established Trap. Rod
and Gun Department and will here
after furnish once a week an article
pertaining to large game hunting,
experiences of myself or friends
afield. or with the rod. 1t is my
intention, to keep the thousands of
followers of these sports informed as
to what is going on in the shooting
and fishing line throughout the coun-
try. There will be a series of articles
based upon the experiences of the
All American Team abroad. the hu-
morous phases, facts in conjunction
with the contests and in fact the in
side history of the trip and its re-
suits. which have never before been
made public. Having been Captain
of this successful aggregation, l be-
lieve l am in possession of all that
would be of interest to the reading
public. With such men to write
about as Heikes, Budd, Gilbert, Cros-
by, Powers. Merrill, Tripp, Parmalee.
Tanning, Elliott and Banks there
will be no dearth of material to fea-

There will be interesting material
from every shooting angle known;
instructions given to the novice and
lunches to the experienced. along
the lines of trap and field shooting
and fishing.
Improving Workmanship
Suggestions, which if followed
will enable the "cracker-jack" to i'm

the beginner along the proper chan
nels for success, by avoiding the

me to a time when L was living in
Keithsburg, ILL.,, beautiful little city
located on the banks of the Missis-
sippi River. The noble red man yet
padded his canoe upon the Father
of Waters, migrating like the birds
impelled by the seasons. En- route
the Indians would give exhibitions
of their skill with the bow and ar
row, shooting small coin from split
sticks. AT night, with a weird light
refiecting upon them, spectators
would be regaled with the Snake
Sun, Green Corn and other dances.

by the Indians that aroused in me
the desire to shoot. My first attempt

screw on the end. The locks had
ducks engraved on the sides. This
placed me on the pinnacle with the
other boys. 1t then became necessary
for me to win the friendship of an
older person who could and would
teach me the fundamental principles
of wing shooting. Louey Charbon-

His first lesson was accuracy, care and

motto and slogan. Atield, the stars

Louey was my ideal, he taught me to
shoot, hunt and fish. Explained the
secrets of the forest and introduced
me to Dame Nature. He was the
moving spirit that put me in the

Gilmore Defends Directors.

J. E. Gilmore defended the District
directors, attorney and engineer, and
objected to their being classed as
"snakes."
Attorney holland interrupted to de-
clare that he did not class the Dis
trict officers, but the contract, as a
"snake."
Gilmore undoubtedly turned the
tide against the resolution. He said
that the Rose contract had been sus-
pended. that many statements had
been made which could not be sub
stantiated, and called attention to the
fact that the directors were repre-
senting the District, and not Mark
Rose. He said Rose had nohing to
trade for.
Judge Hill objected to the contract.
He asked: Why pay $1,6OO,OOO for a
contract which gave Yuma every
thing and ourselves nothing?

San Francisco, April 27.-The Sac

Baseball League, under the leader
ship OF Manager Bill Rogers, has
jumped into infant favor with the
fans along the circuit by reason of
the dash and life they are showing
IN their play. For the time being,
at least, they are the most popular
aggregation in the league, as they
furnish more life and entertainment
during the games to the spectators
than any of the other clubs.
Rogers has imbued his men with
the idea that they must be fighting
every minute and that this may best
be done by constant active physical
participation. The result is that
the men constantly are on their toes.
Not the least of their show of GIN

Ell Centre, Calf: Department
willing to strike out last sentence

Also willing to stipulate that
the 100000 acres for which Yuma
project is allowed water shall be
lands within the present bOun-
daries of the United States.
AS to the cooperation of the
United States in building an all
American canal, the department
favors an all-American canal de-
signed to accomplish the great
est possible economic use of the
Colorado river for the reclama-
ton of lands in the United States,
as evidenced by contract submit
ted and by cooperative survey
now being made, but it is mani
fest that the department cannot
go further, as general PROPOSE
ton. than it has gone in the max
ing of a specific contract without
congressional action, and the de-
partment is willing to modify the
present draft of contract so as
to Obligate the District to build
an all-American canal rather than
leaving it optional.
This department is without au.
thority to enter into any contract
affecting present or future trea-
ties with respect to use of water
in Mexico, but will use every ef-
fort to protect any water or wa

may be entitled for the irrigation
