Eight Followers of Late
 "Pastor" Russell Found Guilty of Disloyalty

New York, June 20-Joseph F. Rutner- ford and seven other defendants, folioW- CTS of the late Pastor Russell, were found guilty of conspiring to violate the
 espionage law, by jury in federal court tonight.
 When the jury filed into the courtroom and the foreman announced all the de- fendants had been found guilty on all four counts in the indictments against them, Judge Howes comment was that the verdict was thoroughly right. Counsel for the defense moved that the verdict be set aside on the grounds that it was against the weight of evi- dence and that errors had been com mitted in the admission of evidence. The judge gave him until tomorrow noon to file his objections.
 ] The maximum penalty which can be imposed on each defendant Is 40 years imprisonment. The four counts on which they were found guilty were conspiracy, insubordination, disloyalty and resistance of the selective draft act. Each count carries maximum penalty of 10 years.

DISCUSS ALLEGED
 V|OLATIONOF LAW BY
 COTTON EXCHANGES
Ex-Governor Conner and Southern Members Hold Conference With Chief
 of Markets Bureau

Washington, June 2O.-(Special.) )-Sev- "a conference here today with the chief |of the bureau of markets and protested against certain transactions on the ex- changes. Representatives Heflin Almon and Blackmon of Alabama and Senators Smith of South Carolina and Georgia, and ex-Governor Conner of Alabama were also present. In discussing the mat ter MT Heflin, member of the commit teee on agriculture, said We are in sisting that the exchanges shall handle cotton precisely as the law requires. The law recognizes real cotton as the basis of all contracts and the difference in the rrice of the various grades used on the exchanges in future contracts must be determined by comparison withth prices that obtain for similar grades in certain designated spot markets. The purpose of the provision in the law was to make the exchange reflect the price of actual isting only in the imagination of the speculator. We now complain because the exchanges have in several instances recently violated the law and set up rules of their own under which contracts are made and settled Under these rules the producer is injured because real cot ton is ignored and ouptlawed.
 We found that the difference that the excha nges have quoted between the spot aad future price of the same grade for the same month has been in some in- stances from $5 to $25 bale Upon the request of Senator Smith of South Caro- lima and myself the Secretary of Agri- culture is now investigating the conduct of the New York and New Orleans cot ton is ignored and outlawed.

HEINZ'S G.S3AT COLLECTION
Ivory Carvings Owned by Pittsburgher
Are Declared to Be Almost
Priceless.

During many years ii. ]. Heinz Of
of the finest collections of ivory cary
ings in America. There are probably
dozen notable collections Of this
sort in the country, and among them
the Heinz group of 1900 pieces holds
distinguished rank, says n writer in
Scribner's.
AS rich and fascinating field for a
discriminating collector, ivory cary
ings are perhaps without a peer. Exc
cuted in material that has always
been costly, too rare, as n rule, to be
subjected to poor or mediocre work
manship, they may well be considered
as typical of the artistic development
of the time in which they were pro-
duced. They represent the art, more
over, not of one people, of one period,
but, it is scarcely an exaggeratiOn to
say, of all peoples and all periods.
From prehistoric ages down through
the civilizations of Egypt and Assyria
and of classic Greece and Rome have
come priceless examples Of sCulptured
worries. The dark ages of Europe, 50
meager in artistic treasures, have be-
queathed us an unbroken chain of
ivory carvings. Much of the most in
teresting of such work must be accred-
tied to the centuries of the Gothic re-
vival, the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth. The Renaissance and the
centuries succeeding have yielded a
wealth Of carved worries of great rich
ness and beauty. From India, China
and Japan come worries of deep his
toric interest and especially in the
work of Japan, Of genuine artistic
achievement.
Periods of exceptional turbulence,
such as the fall of Constantinople, the
reformation in England and the French
revolution, have caused the destruction
of Incompatible treasures. That so
much has survived seems cause for
wonder. The explanation lies in the
very nature Of the carvings.

GO HOME, BOYS

Boys, don't hang around the corner
Of the streets. If you have anything to
DO, do it promptly; right off, then go
home. Iome is the place for boys
About the street corners and at the

they learn to swear to smoke tobacco
and to do many other things which
they ought not to do

If your business is play, play and
make "A business of it. We like TO see
boys play good, earnest, healthy
games. If we were the town council
we would give the boys a good, spac-
ous playground 1t would have plenty
of good grass and trees and fountains,

ended we would tell them to 30 home

HOME CIRCLE COL UMN,
FACE 1T BRAYELY

Death borders upon our birth and
our cradle stands in the grave. Men
must endure their going hence, even
as their coming" and to these left be-
hind with affliction should be one OF
the wholesome souls of virtue, where
faith, fortitude and patience take root
and flourish. During the past few
months the thought of death not as
something far away in the hazy future
but real in the minds of the mothers,
fathers, sisters and brothers of the
men we have sent "oyer there" as
answer to the call of right and hui
mainly. Our young men have been
called upon to so into battle and Of
fer their bodies and their lives. The
call was a glorious summons and it
was gloriously answered. These young
men have seen death, others are yet
to see it, on every side, in every form.
They went knowingly and in surety
that there was point of danger to
be faced and that the going hence
might be for them. Yet none faltered,
AS the great struggle proceeds the
list of casualties-deaths- the
ranks in the American armies will
grow. Even now it is gradually length
ening, and later it doubtless will
contain the names of those near and
dear to many readers of this news
paper. The inevitable cannot be
avoided. Whatever of grief there
may be at the loss of a loved one
surely may be assuaged, lightened, by
the thought of a splendid ending Of a
life heretofore given over to the prac-
tice of kindly deeds and civic virtues,

Merle Sidener, local advertising

with the boosting Of the Los Angeles
citizens and said he learned that an
Oregon colonel from Portland was the
guest Of honor at banquet in Los
Angeles. The usual after-dnner
speeches We're made, all boosting the
city of Los Angeles, but each speaker
regretted that Los Angeles had not
been founded on the coast. The speak
ers all said that had the city been on
the coast instead of ten miles or SO
from 1t, the city would be the garden
spot of the world. The visiting colo
mel was called on to speak and said:
Gentlemen, / am impressed with
your city as much as you are and be-
lieve that | can suggest a way in
which you can accomplish your wish"
All Of the citizens present leaned
forward eagerly, for this was no doubt
the solution that had long been wa't-

SEEMS GOOD BUSINESS IDEA
Proposed Commercial Register for Elol.
land Has Powerful Support in
Industrial Circles.

A law TO establish Il commercial reg
lister in Holland has been introduced in
the states general, according to dis
patch from l.. l.. Edwards, CONNER
cial attuche of The Hague. 1t is re-
ported to have the support of mem
bers Of the government, Of high legal
critics and of important business in
terests generally. This is said to be
the elimination of a movement started
20 years ago for the passage of such
law.
One of the most important features
of the proposed law is that it forhids
the use of precisely the same name
by more than one concern within
given districts, it also provides that
in each given district there shall be
maintained Il public register in which
would be given the name, age and
domicile Of each member Of Il firm, as
we'll us the extent to which each one
might be held legally liable for its
obligations. II also would make illegal
the use of a deceptive title, including
such words, for instance, as broth
ers," land company" or "and sons"
where the owner is only one person.
From the proposed commercial reg
lister a stranger would be able TO as
certain the name and residence Of
holders of not fully paid up shares,
and the full particulars as to the ma
tlonality, residence, etc, of managers,
directors and other officers of corpor-
ations and associations. There would
also be particulars as TO former bank
ruptcies of persons or concerns in
question. The present law already pro-
vides for publication Of many of these
details, but they are only to be found
in such scattered places that in prac-
tice they are not available to the gen
eral public.

THE HOME

Married people would be happier
If home trials were never told to the
neighbors,
If they kissed and made up after
every quarrel.
If household expenses were proper
toned to receipts
If they tried to be as agreeable as in
courtship days.
If each would try to support and
comfort the other.
If each remembered the other was
a human being, not an angel
If women were as kind to their hus-
bands as they were to their wives
If fuel and provisions were laid in
during the high tide of summer work.
Ii both parties remembered that
they married for worse as we'll as bet
ter.

wives as they were for their sweet
hearts.

costumes for the street, and more
plain, tidy house dresses.
If there were fewer please, darl-
ings" in public, and more polite man
ners in private.

Wrist Score Pads.

A convenient little score pad for the
golfer is attached to n leather strap,
which may be fastened around the
wrist.
The score pad is worn, of course, on
the left wrist and the golfer may jot
down memoranda of his score as easily
as social memos are scrawled on
starched cuffs-or used to be when
starched cuffs were in fashion.
The usefulness of the wrist has been
sadly neglected in other years, when
the bracelet and occasionally the fan
were the only things it was expected to
carry. Wrist watches and golf scores
now fall TO its share as part of the
burden Of llfes impediments, and very
efficiently it meets its new obligations.

MAKE HOME ATTRACTIVE

Have good papers and magazines;
let the boys and girls subscribe for
them. Have music of some kind and
never consider that you have perform
ed your duty to your children unless
you give them the advantages OF edu-
cation. Let the children that have tai
ents for music take music lessons; ,
even if you can't afford to let them
take lessons until they are good must
clans, why let them take a few lessons
and get some knowledge of music, ana
by practice and study they may be-
come experts If some of them show Il
talent for drawing or printing or any
ether OF the arts, why cultivate that
talent to the best of your ability.
Always have your home well light
ed. Oil or gas is very much cheaper
than having your children wander Off,
you know not where, and they natural
ly want to so where it is bright and
attractive.
Let them invite their friends to their
home and then let the parents assist
in entertaining; but don't try to mo-
nopolize all the time, but remember it
is the children's company
