SENTENCE TODAY
7ortv-Six Men, Found Guilty
of Conspiracy, FaPc
Long Terms
1 By Associated Press
Sacramento, Cal., Jan. 17.-—Sen
tences will be imposed to-day by
United States Judge Frank H. Rud
kin, of Spokane, on the forty-six de
fendants in the I. W. W. conspiracy j
case. They were found guilty by a i
jury in the United States District j
Court hero last night.
The verdict, "guilty as charged," I
was returned at 6 o'clock, after the I
jury had been out since 4.35 o'clock. !
In liis charge to the jury Judge j
Rudkin said.
"The mere fact that these defend
ants are Industrial Workers of the|
tVorld should not justify a verdict of I
guilty. The fact that they may be i
found to (>e conscientious objectors to
war should not be held against them '
in the consideration of this case.
Opinions which they hold in opposi- ;
tion to war and which undeniably j
stand alone are not an evidence of'
guilt."
Opposed the Draft
The defendants were charged with j
conspiring to violate the selective ]
service act.
The jury retired after Robert Dun- j
can. chief Government prosecutor, j
made the concluding statement, in
which he said:

NATIONS LEAGUE
DRAFT CONSISTS
OF 13 ARTICLES
Eight Other Provisions Also
Included in a Cove
nant Form
By Associated Press
Paris, Jan. 17.—The draft of the
j league of nations in the form of
! treaty enactment now has procced
| ed much further than generally sup
| posed as a result of recent confer
| ences between Lord Robert Cecil,
I Secretary Lansing and Colonel
! House, at which the best features
:of the various projects were em
; bodied in concrete form of enact
! ment. This is called a covenant, in
| stead of a treaty, and re-embraces
I thirteen articles and eight supple
| mentary provisions which bring to
gether the main features of all the
j plans presented.
j The covenant, while still subject
! to much revision, probably will be
ready for the congress or commit
tee whenever the subject is -con
sidered.
Considering Russia
The meeting of the Supreme War
Council at the foreign office was
the only formal gathering of the
peace delegates yesterday. As sum
med up in the official communique
the Russian situation and the con
ference's relations with the press
were the only subjects treated.
After the meeting. President Wil
son. Premier Lloyd George. Secre
tary Lansing and Mr. Balfour re
mained for some time in the ante
chamber of M. Pichon's office in
earnest conversation.
The discussion of the* Russian
situation appears to have been con
fined to an agreement to exchange
available information, though the
determination to have a joint ex
amination of the subject, as stated
in the official communique, indi
cates that the Russian situation will
be one of the subjects to he taken
under the earliest consideration.
Discuss Vlce-l'resldciits
Besides Premier Clemenceau as
! presiding officer at the peace con
ference. provision lias been made
for several vice-presidents, who
I doubtless will include an American,
| sitting alongside of M. Clemenceau
at the head of the 'conference table
I aud occasionally alternating with
|in presiding over the deliberations
1 of the congress.
i The American delegation has not
i yet designated any one for this
i function. It is generally understood,
I however, that the premiers of the
| various countries will act in this ca
j pacity, and as President Wilson oc-
I cupies a position similar to that of
] the premiers, the congress natural,
i ly would call on hint, if he so de
| sired it, to act as a vice-president,
I though it is thought that he would
■ prefer that some other member of
tme delegation take his place.
In that case, it probably would
fall to Secretary Lansing, as secre
tary of state, or else to Henry "White,
who. as temporary presiding officer,
would have an advantage, being a
linguist, when addressed by dele
gates speaking only in French.
The position of vice-president, in
' additions to being a highly honor
| able one, has the practical advan
, tage of a position at the head of
i.the table with the other premiers
i and also of conducting the delibera
tions when M. Clemenceau is ab-
I sent or yields the chair.

Buy It Because
Of Its
(1) Purity
(2) Fine Flavor
(3) Superior Quality
(4) Economy
PURITY " Margarine tastes so much like the finest creamery
butter that not one person in a hundred can tell the differ
ence. You color it at home with the very same butter coloring
that the butter manufacturers use to color butter. .
It takes >pnly a few minutes of your time to do-it-at-home but
it saves you money. If " Purity " were colored at the creamery
it would cost you 10 cents more per pound.
\
"Purity " Margarine sells for about 35c per pound less than
butter. Buy it regularly —not only for its economy, but because
of its proved purity, fine flavor and superior quality. Your dealer
has it or will get it for you.
