bone of the anti-American propa-
ganda in Brazil has been broken by
the statements of President-Elect
Pessoa in the United States, Of Of
ficially disappearing the propaganda
and declaring that it does not repre-

statements have brought the Bra

the propaganda, which has continued
for four months.
Reaction has already commenced.
For the first time in four months, the
Journal de Comercio carried no paid
anti-American advertisements and
the paper editorially condemned the
campaign. Other newspapers here
are following a similar course. While
the campaign was primarily due to
jealousies, arising from present trade
competition, political reasons We're
partly responsible. The Italian
colony is especially bitter. due to
Wilson S recent statement regarding
Fiume. The attitude of the Italian
leaders is changing, however.

Attorneys for Smith Immediately
filed notice of appeal to the supreme
court and a stay of execution of 60
days in which to perfect the appeal
was granted. Smith was released
under bail of $4,000 pending the ap-
peal, the bonds for which were ap-
proved by the Judge.
In his plea to the court Attorney
e. K Wheeler called Judge Words
attention to the fact that the jury
was not unanimous as to Smiths
guilt, but that after deliberations Of
more than two hours agreed on a
compromise verdict in which the pun
ishment was fixed at fine and the
amount left to the discretion or the
court, with the added recommends
tion f " clemency.
Attorney Wheeler cited the fact
that during the deliberations of the
jurors, when it became apparent that
all were not agreed on verdict of
guilty, two of the jurors finally
agreed to vote for a verdict of
guilty" if the fine was fixed at 5000,
the minimum under the law, which
fixes the punishment in such cases at
fines of from 5000 to $4,000 or i'm
prisonment from one to 20 years, or
both. 1t was also pointed out to the
court that on the last ballot before
the compromise verdict was reached
eight of the jurors voted for a fine
Of $500, while the remaining four
stood out for a fine of $1,000.
Word, however, refused to consid-
er the wishes of the jurors and fixed
tile punishment at $4,000, $500 less
than the sum fixed by the jury in the
case of w. F. Dunn, who also was
charged with sedition by w. A.
Campbell, publisher of the Anaconda
Copper company's publication at
Helena, because of the same editor
ial and whose appeal is now pending
