CONSPIRACY TRIAL
IS NEARING THE END
Persons Accused Of Plotting Against
British Rule in India Soon

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, April 2s-The
fate of thirty persons including, former

shipping men and ,Hindus, charged with
conspir1ng in this country to, overthrow
British rule in India by means of revo-
lutionary activities, Is to be passed
upon late today by jury in the United
States: district court. The trial of the
alleged conspirators has been in prog
ress nearly Ave months. United States
District Attorney John w. Preston, who
has conducted the prosecution. was to
conclude his summing up of the evil
dence before the noon recess, after
which Judge w. c. Van Fleet planned
to instruct the jury.
Plot Called "Amazing."
Mr.. Preston. in addressing the jury,
characterized the alleged German
Hindu revolutionary plot as zone
ing portrayal of the inward
workings of any government in the
history of Jurisprudence" He en-
phasized that 1t was the desire of the
alleged eonspirators, who, he said. were
financially and morally assisted by Of
ficials of the German embassy at Wash
ington. led by Ambassador Count Won
Bernstorff. to create condition of af-
fairs in India that would necessitate
the withdrawal from the European bat

Some tax delinQuents about to be
launched by the Bureau of Internal
Revenue. In bringing to task the
tax Stacker the aid OF every loyal citi-
zen is invoked by Commissioner
Daniel C. Roper.
"The most Important thing in tax
alton is equity in distributing the tax
burden" said Commissioner Roper
today. 1T is difficult to conceive that
anyone should endeavor to escape his
share OF the levy made for the pros
ecution Of war in defense Of
Christian civilization. 1t is the
duty Of every man who has paid
his tar to cooperate with US, in To-
eating the tax Stacker. We shall
meet taxpayers comparatively by be-
Ing just as Industrious to see that
they are not overtaxed as to see
that their full taxes are collected. In
the interest of honest taxpayers we
demand every dollar that is due the
governmet and promise to refund
S'SAy uoAiaA VI oVcTpdyuueul
IF taxpayer has reason to be-
lieve that any person known to him
Is tax Stacker, he should report
his name to the collector of his dis
trict or to the Commissioner if In
ternal Revenue. This kind if CO.
operation constitutes real war ser
vice. 1t will make for the equaliza-
ton of the tax burden
This is a challenge for the SER
vices of every loyal citizen to do war
work. Let every delinquent taxpay-
er keep in mind that it is possible
to avoid penalties and prosecution
by filing his return before he re-
ceives notice from the Collector of
Internal Revenue of his delinquency.
If he waits until after official notice
is received it will be too late A word
to the wise should be sufficient"
Reports are current that a consid-
erable number of cotton growers
have failed to file income tax returns.
Il do not wish to believe said
Commissioner Roper, that the cot
ton growers will be found lacking
In patriotism or proper interest in a
matter so vital to our government. l
realize that large percentage of the
cotton growers in 1917, including
Sny cotton tenants, are subject to

ga s, should be large in num-
Sr and volume Of tax. If any have
not made returns they had better do
so before notice of delinquency is re-
ceived by them. All delinquents will
be promptly and vigorously prose-
cuted. There is no difference be-
tween the Stacker in military ser
vice and the Stacker from ta1 duty.
Both are. in effect, disloyal to their
government"

BLOND ESKIMOS
 NOW DISCOVERED

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 12.---Bfond hair from blond Eskimos--- alleged proof of the existence of that strange ] far away tri5e---is being brought back to civilization by the explorer Vilh- 1 1aunlrr~ Stefanss2n, acHording to r. C. tLapetitch, a miner who recently ar rivel her from For: Yukon, Alaska, where he saw the explorer. Stefans- son, it is believed, will arrive here this month.
 stefansson is credited with the dis o7very of the light skinned natives far LID on Canadas Arctic rim. He found the tribe in 1908 while com manding an expedition fitted out by the Canadian government and the American Museum of Natural His tory.
 The party penetrated into the white lands, marked "uninhabited' on the maps, far east of the Mackenzie rlVer, and in 1910, on Coronation Gulf, found Eskimos who had never seen white men from the outside. According to Stefansson, they numbered pro3abiE ,2,G00 Unlike their dark hued brothers of Alaska. they had white skin, many had red hair, the men wore fuli boards and all had light eyebrows.
 News of the discovery was brought
 back to the outside world by Stefans- son in 1912. In 1913 he set out again flor the north on the trip he IS now
 bringing to a close. From Lepetich's ( statement, it Is believd that Stefans- sc during the past two years made
 another trip to the land of these lit
 tile known natives.

available were 25 British marines un- der Sergeant Murphy, 15 American marines commanded by Captain (now coloneD Myers, and 15 Russian marines under Captain Vroubleffsky.
 Captain Myers took command of the whole force and decided that the Anglo-American party should attack . the tower. A flank attack was to be made on the barricade by the Rus sians
 At given signal the party swarm ed over the American barricade. The English and Americans, with Captain Myers at their head, entered the tower to find it unoccupied. They followed along the sap where Captain Myers was severely wounded in the knee and was disabled. Sergeant Murphy at once assumed command. After a hand tOh and fight, in which the small body of Russian marines played a gallant part. the enemy retired leaving 25 of their dead.
 With very natural pride the sculptor responsible for the memorial propos- ed to depict a British officer leading the attack but the Royal Marine Light Infantry would not hear of this and for a two-fold reason: they insiste< that the memorial should be histor- ically accurate and at the same time they wished to show their admiration for Captain Myers
