LOCAL BOND DRIVE
IS GREAT SUCCESS

When it became generally known
few days ago, that Nenana lacked
several thousand dollars to bring
the local subscriptions to the Vic
tory Loan up TO the full amount
Of the quota allotted to the district,
Nenanaites made up their minds
that such thing could never hap
pen here, and resolved by all the
means at their command, to boost
that loan 10 the limit and go "over
the top"
Accordingly, the combined Com
mission and town forces, working
in perfect unison, inaugurated an
aggressive campaign with the utmost
confidence in their ability to see to
it that Nenana, which had always
hitherto taken the foremost place
in matters of patriotic endeavor,
was again there"

RUTH GARRISON
IS UNBALANCED;
JURY'S VERDICT

SEATTLE, May 10.-The trial Of
Ruth Garrison came to conclusion
last night with verdict Of not
guilty, returned by the jury two
hours after the case had been placed
in their hands for final considera-
ton. The young woman will not go
free, however. the jury having found
that the defendant is still insane,
which compels the court to commit
her to the state hospital for the in
sane. Mental responsibility at the
time of the commission of the crime
charged, is given by the jury as
their reason for returning a verdict
of not guilty.
Aside from one or two spells Of
crying while the trial was in prog
ress, the Garrison girl gave very
little sign of emotion, appearing
neither 10 sorrow over her love
crazed act nor to worry about the
outcome Of the trial. After the
verdict had been rendered, she evil
IDENTIFY found amusement in the
prospect Of association with inmates
of the insane asylum where she will
be confined, for she left the court
room laughing.
The crime charged against the
Garrison girl was that Of admin
istering poison to Mrs. Storrs, whose
husband she loved. Mrs Storrs was
invited to lunch at a local refresh
ment place, and the poison slipped
into the fruit salad, resulting in
the death, soon afterward, Of the
victim. Investigation resulted in
the arrest of Miss Garrison, followed
by her confession and arraignment
The defense offered was that of
mental unbalance, the testimony of
several alienists being introduced to
prevent the commitment of the girl
to the penitentiary.

Officials of the state department
have given out a statement in
which is denied the truth of re-
ports received from Paris TO the
effect that President Wilson has

statement, is still firmly opposed to
Italy's Adriatic claims
Advices received from Paris to-
day indicate that it is the inten-
ton of President Wilson, as soon
as he return TO the United States,
to address Congress on the subject
of world peace, and to discuss the
entire proceedings Of the peace
conference, including the treaty as
finally decided upon. The Presi-
dent may also tour the country for
the purpose Of speaking directly to
the people on the question of peace.

Paris and other foreign quarters,
