 SACRAMENTO, Cal. Jan. 6. - All the 46 defendants in the I. w. w conspiracy case were found guilty by a jury in the United States district court here tonight
 The verdict. guilty as charged, was returned at 6 o'clock, after the jury had been out since 4:35 o'clock. Sentences will be imposed tomorrow by United States Judge Frank H. Rud- kin of Spokane.
 The jury retired after Robert Dun can. chief government prosecutor, made the concluding statement, in which he said:

 "The I. w. W. recognizes no coun- try. no flag, no color line. They re- spect no flag but the red flag. They would drag us all down to the level of the lowest man. They do not rec ognize difference of ability in men, but would give the unworthy the same privileges for which the worthy have to strive so hard"
 Duncan read at length from journals of the organization which were al leged to have stated that mo peace officer could be a member of the l. W. w." the uniform of the United States soldiers is merely the livery of the 'scab,'" and sabotage is a sign of courage"
 Tt is a fine example of courage when some l. w. w throws a phos- phcrus bomb into a haystack and then arrange to be hundreds of miles away before that bomb ignites," Duncan said.

PARIS. Jan. 16 (By the Associated Press) ).-The draft of the league of nations in the form of treaty enact ment has proceeded much further than generally supposed. as a result of re- cent conferences between Lord Rob ert Cecil, Secretary Lansing and Col Onel House. at which the best features of the various projects were embed jed in concrete form of enactment. This is called a covenant, instead of a treaty. and embraces thirteen arti- cles and eight supplementary provis- ions which bring together the main features of all the plans presented.
 The covenant. while subject to much revision. probably will be ready for the congress or committee whenever the subject is considered.

House Military Committee, With Secretary Baker and General March, Agree to Postpone Proposed Bill
CRv Review Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. Jan l6. The house military committee practically reached an agreement today in con- ference with Secretary Baker and General March, chief of staff, to post pone the war department Teorganiza- tion bill until the next session of con gress and with it a large part of the prospective debate over the future military policy of the country. A sug- gestion by Chairman Dent that a leg islative rider on the army appropria- ton bill continuing the existing war organization of the department and the regular army for another year. be substituted for the reorganization measure. met with the approval of MT Baker and Apparently with that of a majority of the committee members.
 The proposal grew out of confer ence at which Secretary Baker and the chief of staff explained to the committee the reorganization measure framed by the department, providing for Q regular army of 500 900 men 10 be raised by voluntary enlistment on a flat three-year basis. The bill also would have made permanent the abso- lute control over all branches Of the army now exercised by the chief Of staff as a wartime necessity.
 Time Inadequate.
 Chairman Dent said it would be i'm possible 10 get such a sill through congress in the six weeks remaining of the session. Committee members agreed with him, pointing out that the war department bill on its face appeared to be military policy measure which abandoned the theory of universal military obligation. Mir; Baker insisted that this was not the case: that no attempt to fix the na- tion's policy as to a peace time army was involved. but agreed that the sub stitutiOn of continuing authority ap- peared to be the wisest course in view of uncertainties of the situation abroad and lack of time for full dis cussiOn in congress.
 The exact form of a rider is to be studied by the general staff. It prob ably will leave the strength of the force to presidential order within linn it's and subject to appropriation limi- tatiOnS. The committee VIII take up at once hearings on the regular ap- propriation bill which provides as drawn. for 509,0G0 men.

 Secretary Baker would make no declaration in regard to universal mil itary service suggestions. saying he would submit no proposal of that na- ture until the peace conference had finished it's work and the obligation of the nation could be guaged. He said the general staff had submitted several studies which were still on his desk. Later Representative SaE-

People Of MericO Do NOt Wish Sale To United States
rnu RevIew I.eased Wirel

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16.-MeX- ico's legal inability to sell Lower California to the United States, as proposed in congress, is set forth Tn a statement authorized by Governor Esteban Cantu of Lower California, issued by his secretary and received here today.
 Governor Cantu's statement almost asserts a belief that there has been no demand by inhabitants Of Lower California for such a purchase.
 The statement follows:
 Governor Cantu has nothing to say about the resolution of purchasing a portion of the Mexican territory, which has been submitted by some American congressman. They are perfectly free to discuss the matter, but it would be well to observe that, according to the Mexican constitution, neither the president nor the congress of Mexico are authorized to dispose of any part of the national territory. The only thing that Governor Cantu would like to set straight, because 1t involves a misrepresentation. is the statement published by some Ameri- can papers, that number of inhabi- tants of the northern district Of Lower California. both Mexican and American. had asked the government of the United States, or any of its high functionaries, to purchase this portion of the Mexican republic. The governor is sure that not a single ap- plication Of that kind has been made and referendum among the inhabi- tants of this district, and among all the population Of the Mexican repub- lie, for that matter. would bear out the truth of what the governor as seTts."

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-After an exhaustive investigation into the facts, the special war department board ap- pointed to inquire into charges made against Col Edward A.

 Secretary Baker today made public the boards findings together with letter he has written Chairman Dent of the house military committee, an- nouncing that they had been approved and the case closed.
 This record" wrote Mir. Baker, "un- doubtedly shows that Colonel Deeds, absorbed in the activities of aircraft production, neglected to give his per sonal attention to transactions affect ing his personal financial affairs, and this neglect on his part gave rise to appearances which required painstak- ing investigation in order to show their true character"
 Hughes Charges Serious
 In his report NIT. Hughes charged that Colonel Deeds had represented to officials of the war department that he had disposed of his stock in the United Motors company when as a matter of fact that stock still was car ried in his name; that he had sent con- fidential war department information to former business associates at Day ton. Ohio. and that he had sponsored grossly misleading statements" to the effect that American built battle planes were en route to the front.
 The board attached to it's findings various letters, telegrams, and sworn statements relating to these specific charges. In the case of the first charge it recommended that mo court martial proceedings be instituted against Col onel Deeds based upon the statements in his letter to the secretary of war and the aircraft production board SC far as they concerned the transfer of his stock in the United Motors com pany, because:

At the call of President Wilson,
Congress met in extra session last
Monday. The Republicans resumed
control OF both Houses after Demo-
Gratis had been in control of Congress
for eight years.
Albert B. Cummins, of Iowa, was
elected President pro tempore of the
Senate, to preside in the absence of
Thomas R. Marshall, Vice President.
Frederick H. Gillett, of Massachu-
sets, succeeded Champ Clark as
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives. An incident of the House or
ganization was a refusal to seat Vic
tor L.. Berger, the Socialist, who was
elected last November after he was
sympathy with Germany.
With President Wilson a Democrat,
the change in the political complexion
of Congress presented a situation SIM
liar to that during the last two years
of former President Taft's administra-
ton when there was a Democratic
House, and to President Clevelands
administration, in which there was q
Republican Congress.
The Senate had forty-nine Republl-
cans and forty-seven Democrats.
The new House roll lists 23S Republi-
cans, 189 Democrats, 2 Independents,
/ Prohibitionist, / Socialist and 4 va
cancies (the vacancies all in Demo-
cratic districts), a total of 435. The
House division gives the Republicans
a majority Of 46 over the Democrats
and SO over all combined opposition.
Republican action promises, how
V to be restrained by President
Wilson's veto power, as a tWo-thlrds
vote is necessary to override & veto.
tCo-operation between administration
officials and the Republicans is eX-
pected upon uncontested matters.
Assembling of the new Congress
was marked by the establishment OF
more precedents. 1t was the first
time that Congress had convened with
a President in Europe, and his open
ing message cabled from foreign soil.
The session is expected to run writ
ually to the time for the regular De
cember session, which will precede the
1920 national conventions and Presl-
Dental campaign.
Important House committees were
chosen, but the Senate Republicans
were not ready with their committee
assipnments, because of the Progress
sive fight against the election OF Sen
ators Penrose, of Pennsylvania, and
Warren, of Wyoming, as chairman OF
the finance and appropriations COM
mittees, respectively.
