GERMANS GO TO PRISON
convection CT Four Hamburg America,
Officials Affirmed ii New York.

NEW YORK. Jan. 11.-Conviction OF
four officials OF the Hamburg American
line, including Karl Buenz, managing
director, on charges Of violating the
customs laws by sending supplies to
German cruisers early in the war was
affirmed by the United States circuit
court of appeals here Yesterday. The
decision also upheld the conviction Of
the Hamburg American line, which had
been sentenced TO pay fine of 81.
Besides Buenz, WHO is more than 20
years old and who is former German
consul general in this city, the de-
PENDANTS were Adollh Hackmeister
purchasing agent of the Hamburg
American line, who died after his con
Ylctlon in district court: George Kot.

was charged. 1t was alleged that the
! conspirators used three Hamburg Amer
lean line shils to carry supplies to the
warships.
THE district court properly took it
for granted at the trial, the decision
sand, that there was nothing inner.
emily wrong in an undertaking to pro
vide coal, provisions and other supplies
for German warships en- the high seas
as the United States and Germany
were not at the time at war with each
other. Neither the law of nations nor
the municipal law of the United States
prohibited such an undertaking.
The conspiracy charged is a con.
splracy to defraud the United States
If the facts charged in the indictment
are true, and that was question fol
the jury, the defendants obtained from
the officers of the government clear
ances for their vessais to which they
were not entitled
1t needs no argument to make il
plain that this amounted to defraud
ing the United States, and the wrong
was a grievous one3'
