 ISCIVEN SEVEN,
 YEARS IN JAIL

LONDON, May 29-Horatio Bot tomley, editor and publisher of John Bull, was today found guilty before a jury on a charge of misapproprla- tion of funds belonging to Victory Bond Club. The presiding justice sentenced Bottomley to serve seven years in the penitentiary. Bottomley is one of the best known characters in Great Britain. He has tried to acquire the reputation ih England that William Randolph Hearst has in America. While Hearst and his newspapers have been vast ing printers ink in their endeavOrs to stir up strife and discord between Great Britain and the United States, by means of bitter and unfounded at tacks, Bottomley has been pursuing the same course in England, by means of unwarranted charges brought against the United States of Bottomley was a member of the present House of Commons.

 N0TSUBJECT TO DEPORTATION

WASHINGTON, May 29. - In re- ,sponse to a request submitted from Secretary of Labor Davis, the Commis- ,sioner of Immigration has rendered an opinion holding that General Gregor- jeff Semenoff, former Ataman of the ,Cossacks, recently released from the Ludlow Street jail in New York, is not subject to deportation.

SEVEN SAILORS ARE KILLED IN
 BOAT WRECK

PORTLAND, May 29.-The steam- CTS Welsh Prince and Iowan collid- ed in the Columbia River today, causing the deaths of seven sailors and severely injuring two firemen. All of the dead and injured were members of the crew of the Welsh Prince. The collision occurred near Altoonah, Washington. The Welsh Prince sank almost immediately af- ter the collision. The bodies of the seven dead sailors are still in the forecastle of their ships They can not be recovered except by the aid of diver, who will have to bore through the steel plates of the ship to reac hthem. The ship itself will in all probability be salvaged, as her position is such, that such an under taking would present no insuperable difficulties. The extent of the dam- ages to the Iowan has not been as- certained. She is proceeding to this city under her own steam. However, the ship is leaking badly, and the water is gaining on the pumps.
