Geneva.-The admission OF Bulgaris
to the League OF Nations has beer
voted by the commission on the ad
mission of new states. This action
was taken after a report submitted
by Marshal Foch had been read, in
which the marshal declared that Bull
garia had made sincere efforts to live
up to the treaty terms.
Even the little entente" countries
which had been strong in their oppo.
sition to Bulgaria, voted for her ad,

Nashville.--The Tennessee supreme
court affirmed the conviction of c.
Hunter Raine, former Memphis bank
president charged with fraudulent
breach Of trust, the convictions car
rying a sentence Of one to 10 years.
He has heretofore served a sentence
in the federal prison on the charge
Of using the mails to defraud.
Hunter Raine was president of the
Mecantile bank when that institution
failed in 1914 with loss of almost a
million dollars. Raine lost the money
specializing in the cotton maket.
Raine served more than three
years OF a five-year sentence in the
federal pe2itentiary for the bank fall
ure. A charge of using the mails to
defraud caused the sentence. His
good time off reduced his term to lit
tie more than three years.
Hugh M. Magevney, who was
Raine's attorney, based his hope for
reversal by the high court on two
grounds The first was that Raire, al
though a prisoner in Atlanta, was
available to state authorities for trial,
ard had not been granted the speedy
trial warranted by law.
The second ground was that the
Jury found Raine guilty of fraudulent
breach Of trust. Magevney contended
that II any offense had been commit
ted 1t was larceny. But the jury found
Raine not guilty on larceny and EN-.
bezzlement counts.
