verdict was returned despite in
structions of the court to return a
verdict of not guilty on the pos
session charge.
Kendall B. Perkins, attorney for
the defendant, entered an ora!
notice of appeal in the case and
then made motion asking that the
court order the jury to return to
the jury room and reopen delibera-
tions ON the matter Of count athree,
the possession charge. The motion
was denied.
The attorney then asked that that
portion of the verdict in which the
defendants were found guilty on
charges of possession Of narcotics
be stricken from the verdict. The
court informed the attorney he
could again take up this motion at
the time the defendants were
brought up for sentence.
The defendants were originally
charged with nine violations of the
narcotic act The first three counts
were for possession, counts four,
five and six fer sale and counts

dated for the purr of trial.
In instructions TO the jury the
court ordered them that there was
not sufficient evidence to convict
either of the defendants on counts
one, two or three and directed that
they return a verdict of mot guilty.
He further held that there was no
evidence to show that the defend
ant Engman was guilty as charged
in counts four and five and instruct
ed that similar verdict be return
ed by the jury as to Engman in
these counts.
The jury in returning the verdict
lOulu pOlH utIelludulS guilty On
counts three, six and nine, Camp
bell guilty ON count five and return
ed verdicts of not guilty in the re-
naming instances.

HUGE DIRICIBLE
AGAIN EXPLORES
POLAR REGIONS
General Mobile Sailing
Italia Back to Base At
Spitzbergen.
by United Press leased Wire

KINGS PAY, Spitzbcrgcn, May
24.-An aircraft again has sailed
over the summit of the world and
General Umbcrto Mobile, who cir
rIcd the North Pole shortly after
midnight last night, is enroutc back
to his base here.
The Italia reached the North
poIc at l2:2j II. m.
For few minutes it circlcd as
the definite location of the pole has
not been determined and Mobile
wanted to make sure his dirlglblc
passed over the exact spot.
Then an Italian flag, cross
blessed by the Pope, and guide
ropes were dropped.
The Italia did not land any Of
her crew at the pole.
After circling for few minutes
at the spot believed to be the exact
top Of the world, Mobile turned his
tim dirigiblc-its sides coated with
icc--back towards civilization.
He had visited the spot that only
few men before him had visited.
He was on one Of the former cX-
rrditlons with Roald Amundscn,
and like Amundsen, circled the area
just to be sure the exact spot had
been reached.
This flight to the North Pole eli
NAKED Mobile 5 series of mancuvers
| through the northern skies.
He flew to the north from Italy
a few weeks ago announcing three
tours. The first was unsuccessful.
The second was 6S hour cruise
over the frozen waste lands that
circlcd the pole.
The third resulted in this visit
to the pole proper.
Encounters Bad Weather
Bad weather endangered this last
flight just as almost every flight
s'ncc the Italia left Italy had been
handicapped. Starting out at 4:25 a.
N. Wednesday morning, Noble
headed for North Greenland.
The first part of the tour was re-
ported excellent. Then apparently
Lad weather set in. Major Nalini at
Nadsoe, Norway, reported he had
received word that the big dirigible
was fighting poor flying condi
tions.
But the Italia S pilot was not to
be discouraged. Reports came fin
ally to the base here that the
Italia had proceeded over the North
OF Greenland at q p. IN. WedneS-
day night. Thence the Italia took
. direct course to the pole.
Apparently conditions at the
pole were not good for the cxplora-
ton Mobile had planned. Before
Iloaying Kings Bay he announced
that when the pole was reached he
would descend and that probably
two members of his crew--a meteor
ologist and an cngineer-likply
would descend with him.
All Of this plan however, depend
rd upon the weather and advices
received here Indicated there had
been no attempt to land any of the
Italia'S party.

Gillette, Green. Metcalfe, Phipps,

The president finally was sustain
ed when the vetoed army bandmas-

the two-thirds although it got ma
jority, A to 80.
"A presidents veto is entitled
to some measure of respect in the
senate,' senator Bruce, Democrat,
