DR.. Weiss had pleaded overndul-

thing he might have said, though lie
declined to admit having said any
thing sedtious. Judge Hutcheson, in
his charge to the jury, declared drunk

London, Jan. 5 (By Mail)-Con- |scription of wealth is a matter of eX- |pediency, says Arthur Bonar Law, chancellor of the eNchcquer, in reply to memorandum from committee of tho British trades unions demand ing conscription of wealth. The mem orandum urged him immediately to conscript the wealth of the nation.'
 The chancellor declares that the cost of the war should be borne by wealth which is in existence when the war ends, so as not to over-burden future industries. The government already is acting on the principle laid down by the union.
 The chancellor adds:
 Until now l have never seen any proposal which seemed to me to be practicable for getting money during this war by conscripting wealth, and personally up to this moment l do not believe it is possible"

N0W bUI[DINu 4Z4 VESSELS FOR NAVY
U-BOat Chasers, n,Addition Are
 Under Way, Says Oliver

WaShingtan Jan. 1.-The largest buiIding program ever undertaken by the Navy is developing with remark able speed, Chairman Oliver, of the house subcommittee of the Naval Ar fairs committee, said in a report or the investigation of the bureaus ot construction and repair and steam en- pineering. Rear-Admirals D. w. Fay lor and R. s. Griffin, heads of these bureaus, submit the information at executive sessions.
 MT Oliver reported that there are now 424 naval vessels, in addition to submarine chasers under construction or contract. Between TOO and 800 pas senger and freight vessels, yachts, tugs, fishing boats, etc., have been taken over and converted to naval uses since the war began.
 These figures do not include enemy ships taken over and are exclusive ot ships that were hastened to complc- ton about the time war was declared
 The committee was impressed, MT. Oliver said, with the efficient and eN- peditious methods employed.
 Ut was shoWn,' he says, that eX- tensive preparations had been mado by these bureaus before the outbreak of the war As a result of this prep
  zone has been able to keep in continu- ous operation and in a high state of efficiency and to have, all repairs made without in any way interfering with the service in which these vessels are engaged.
 Many preparations were begun fully month before hostilities were declared and extended to the point of actually making contracts in antici- patton of the passage by congress of appropriations.
 "A largeenumber of submarine chas- CTS were ordered and this program is now approaching completion. Ship Ebs1f1ders had been convened in Wash dngton and their ability to turn out such vessels determined, so that when it was decided to build these vessels mo. time was lost in making the con- tracts. These boats have been used so successfully in the submarine zone by some of our allies that they are sasking that more be devoted to that purpose"
