Admission 10c. (Adv.) DOCTOR WAITE FOUND GUILTY IN 1ST DEGREE (Continued From Page One) convinced them he was sane when Peck was killed, and Is now sane. Attorney peuel completed his clos ing argument at 11:45 a. m. Assistant District Attorney Brothers then started summing up for the state. Deuel reviewed Walte's career of crime, and asked the Jury If he could be called sane, in view of his remark able record. "Even thu state's alienists said he was a born criminal," cried Deuel. "They say he never had moral sense." Deuel asked for imprisonment in an asylum for Walte. Waite without emotion gazed at Prosecutor brothers steadily as he heard himselfTienounced by the state's attorney as a cruel and cunning mur derer. He was similarly unmoved 'a's "l"" counsel ueuei. aa during .Defense Three state alienists today declared pi. i uveiy iney iieneverj watte sane when he committed his crimes and sane at the prosent moment. They ad mitted he was not normal, and classi fied him as a"born criminal." Insanity Flea Indicated. Deuel in his closing argument seized eagerly on these assertions, and de clared the state's experts really be lieved Waite deranged. Juror Trent significantly asked one alienlat if h nllM .,-, , ,. . . "v . . ' """" " aite sane in view of his nonchalant demeanor on the witness stand. Ridiculing the insanity plea. Broth- said: "is this the kind of a man you want sent to Matteawan where some bright morning when the milkman comes around he will walk out to freedom?" The defense objected to this refer ence to the Thaw case, and the remarks were stricken out. Brothers charged that Walte ruined Mrs. Margaret Horton's life and lured her away from her husband. "Except for that mysterious 'K. Adams,' who threw suspicion upon him by sending a telegram calling atten tion to the' strange deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Peck," said Brothers. 'Waite would now be walking the streets with out a suspicion being cast on his san ity. He killed Peck after two months premeditation, because he wanted money. "Did he know he was doing wrong He knew the district attorney's office was closed Sunday, so he killed Peck on Saturday. He smothered Peck with a pillow so his wife would not hear the dying man s groans as he suffered the terrible pangs of arsenic poison ing. Then he sought to build up a de fense by bribing an undertaker to put arsenic in the corpse. And finally he tried suicide, but he was afraid to shoot himself." Chance Woman Juror Helps Free Druggist Mrs. M. Baglsy Summoned In Muni cipal Court, Clerk Thinking she Was Man Accused Man Hot Oullty. Mrs. M. Bagley. a milliner wfth of fices in the Fliedner building, was chosen a member of a municipal court Jury by accident yesterday, and was one of six to decide that C. M. Brink, a druggist, was not guilty of selling alcohol to persons of known intemperate habits. Mrs. Bagley did not put her pre fix in the telephone directory and when Clerk Beutgen drew a Jury ne eummonea ner, tninaing ne was , drawing a man named "M. Bagley." j When Mrs. Bagley arrived. Attorney Roger Sinnott made no opposition : and she took her place. Brink was alleged tT have sold alcohol to Bessie Williams and Cleo j Shepherd. Since both women signed the affidavit which states that the 1 applicant Is not intemperate, the Jurors concluded Brink was not-knowingly a violator of the law. Cleo Shepherd, who Is only 21 years old, but who has been arrested a number of times recently for drunk enness, was committed to the state training school at Salem for three years. Police Make Raid. Moral squad police, led by Lieuten ant Harms, descended upon the Coast ' hotel. Second and Burnside streets, last night and arrested Harry Harris, the proprietor, his wife, and Josle Miller. In addition to making a large seiaure - of - liquor. The three are charted with violating tb prohibition, law.-. ' , UNITED STATES TELLS ALLIES TO CEASE THEIR Notice Served That America "Can No Longer Tolerate the Wrongs" Practiced. NOTE NOT AN ULTIMATUM Charged. That Allies Have Attempted XUeg-al Jurisdiction by Tores or Unjustifiable Means. (Continued From Paga One) mails en route by sea between United States and Europe. the After a discussion of the use of the mails for the transmission of parcels and of the limitations to be placed on "inviolable mail," the joint memoran dum of February 15 closes with the following assertions: "First That from the standpoint of the nxht of visitation and eventual ar rest and seizure, merchandise shipped in post parcels needs not and shall not b treated otherwise than merchandise shipped in any other manner. Postal Correspondence Inviolable, "'Second That the inviolability of postal correspondence, stipulated by the eleventh convention of The Hague ot 190 1. does not. In any way. attect the right of the allied governments to visit, and, if occasion arise, arrest and seize merchandise hidden in the wrap pers, envelopes or letters contaned in the mail bags. "Third That true to their engage ments and res-pect or tne genuine cor respondence," the allied governments will continue, for the present, lo re frain on the high seas from seizing and confiscating such correspondence. letters or dispatches, ati'l will insure their speediet-t possible transmission a soon as the sincerity of their char aeter shall have been ascertained." In reply the government of the i.nited htates desires to state that it does not consider that the postal union convention of IKOti necessarily applies to the interlerence by the British and French governments with the oversea transportation or malls of which the government of the 'Jnited States com plains. Furthermore the allied powers appear to have overlooked the admis sion of the government of the United States that post parcels may be treated as merchandise subject to the exercise of belligerent rights as recognized by international law. Hut the government of the United States does not admit that such parcels are subject to the "ex ercise of the riglits of police super vision, visitation and eventual seizure which belongs to belligeret-ts as to all cargoes on the high seas." asserted in the joint note under acknowledgment. Claims As to Blockade Measures It is noted with satisfaction that the British and French governments do not claim, and in the opinion of this government properly do not claim, that their so-called "blockade" meas ures are sufficient grounds upon which to base a right to interfere with all classes of mail matter in transit to or from the central powers. On the con trary, their contention appears to be that "as genuine correspondence" is under conventional stipulation "invio lable" mail matter of other classes is subject! to detention and examination. While the government of the United States agrees that "genuine corre spondence" mail is inviolable. It does not admtt that belligerents may search other private sea-borne mails for any other purpose than to discover whether tney contain articles of enemy owner ship carried on belligerent vessels or articles of contraband transmitted un der sealed cover as letter mail, though they may intercept at sea all mails coming out of and going into ports of the enemy's coasts which are effective ly blockaded. The governments of the United States.Great Britain and France, however, appear to be in substantial agreement as to principle. The method of applying the principle is the chief cause of difference. Agreement Has Been Violated. Though giving assurances that they consider "genuine correspondence" to be "inviolable" and that they will, "true to their agreements,'' refrain on the high seas from seizing and confiscat ing such "correspondence," the allied governments proceed to deprive neutral governments of the benefits of these assurances by seizing and confiscating mall from vessels in port instead of at sea. They compel neutral ships, without just cause, to enter their own ports or they induce shipping lines, through some forms of duress, to send their mail shls via British ports, or they detain all vessels merely calling at British ports, thus acquiring by force or. unjustifiable means an illegal juris diction. Acting upon this enforced jurisdiction, the authorities remove all mail, genuine correspondence as well a3 post parcels, take them to London, where every piece, even though of neu tral origin and destination, is opened and critically examined to determine the "sincerity of their character," in accordance with the Interpretation giv en that undefined phrase by the British and French censors. Finally, the ex purgated remainder Is forwarded, fre quently after irreparable delay, to its destination. Ships Detained En Route. Ships are detained en route to or from the United States or to or from other neutral countries, and mails are held and delayed for several days and. In some cases, for weeks and even months, even though not routed to ports of North Europe via British ports. This has been the procedure which has been practiced since the an nouncement of February 15, 1916.

The government ot the United States again must insist with emphasis tuat the British and Frencn governments do not obtain rightful jurisdiction ofJ snips by torcing or inducing tnem 10 visit their ports for the purpose of seizing their mails, or thereby obtain greater belligerent rights as to such ships than they could exercise on the high seas; for there is. in the opinion of the government of the United States., no legal distinction between tne seiz ure of mails at sea, which is announced as abandoned, and their seizure from vessels voluntarily or involuntarily in port. Practices Held Unwarranted. The British and French practice amounts to an unwarranted limitation of the use by neutrals of the world's hiehwav tor tne transmission oi cor respondence. The practice actually fol lowed bv the allied powers must oe said to justify tne conclusion, therefore, that the announcement oi reoruary la was merely notice that one illegal prac tice had been abandoned to make place tor the development oi anotner more onerous and vexatious in character. The present practice is a violation not only of the spirit of the unnounce ment of February 15. but ot the rule of The Hague convention, upon which it is concededly Dased. siae irom this. It is a violation ot the prior prac tice of nations which Great Britain and her allies have, in the past, as sisted to establish and maintain, not withstanding the statement in tne memorandum that "as late as 1907 the letters and dispatches themselves could be seized and confiscated. Recalls Mexican War. During the war between the 1'nited State and Mexico the United States forces allowed British steamers to en ter and depart from the port of Vera Cruz without molesting tbe mails in tended for inland points. During the American civil war Lord Russell en deavored to induce the Un'ted States to concede that "Her Majesty s mai.s ! on board a private vessel snouia oe e.vriiipieu iiuiu i&iia.i.iuii ui ucicuuuu. This exemption of mails was urged in October, l&bJ, in the case of British mails on board the Adela, On October 31 Secretary Seward announced that "public mails of any friendly neutral power duly certified or authenticated as such shall not be searched or opened, but be put as speed'ly as may be convenient 'n the way to their destination." In accordance with this announcement the government of tha United States in the case of the Brit ish steamship Peter Hotf. which had been seized with her mails against the protest of Her Majesty s government, had her mails forwarded to destination unopened. The same rule was followed by France, as I am advised, in the Franco-Prussian war of 1 870; by the United States In the Spanish-American war of 189X; by Great Britain in the South African war; in the case of the Ger man mall steamers Bundesrath and General; by Japan, and substantially by Russia in the Russo-Japanese war of 1904. And even in the present war, as the memorandum of Great Britain and France states, their enemy. Germany, has desisted from the practice of "in terfering with the neutial mails, even on board belligerent steamers. This is illustrated by the case of the French steamer Floride. captured by the aux iliary cruiser Prinz Kitel Friedrich, cited by the British and French gov ernments in support of their argument regarding parcel mails. In this case the letter mails of the Floride. amount in? to 144 sacks, were forwarded to their destination by the commander at the first opportunity on arriving in the United States. It would seem, there fore, to be conclusively established that the interferences with mails of which this government justly com plains are wrong in principle and pract ice. United Stateg Citizens Suffer. The arbitrary methods employed by the British and French governments have resulted most disastrously to citi zens of the United States.

The Standard Underground Cable company of Pittsburg, for example, sent by mail a tender and specifica tions for certain proposed electrical works to be constructed in Christiana; after several weeks of waiting, the papers having failed to arrive, the American company was told that the bids could not be held open longer and the contract was awarded to a British competitor.

For instance, the postmaster-general informs me that certain interna tional money lists from the United States to Germany, Greece and other countries and from Germany to the United States, sent through the mails, have not reached their . destination, though dispatched sevqpal months ago. It was necessar-' to have some of these lists duplicated and again dispatched by the steamship Frederica VIII. which sailed from Ne.- York on April li. and from which all the mails In tended for Germany have been taken and held in British Jurisdiction. Many Bag's of Mail Lost. As a further example of the delay and loss consequent upon the British practice, the postmaster general also sends, me a copy of a letter from the British postal administration, admit ting that the mails were removed from the steamer Medan in the Downs on January 30 last and not forwarded until some time between February 2 and March 2, and that 182 bags ot these malls were lost during transmis sion to Holland on February 26 by the Dutch steamship Mecklenburg. The Medan arrived safely at Rotterdam a clay or two after she left the Downs. Numerous complaints similar to the foregoing have been received by this government, the details of which are available, but I believe 1 have cited sufficient facts to show the unprece dented and vexatious nature of the in terference with mails persisted in by British and French authorities. Not only are American commercial inter ests injured, but rights of property are violated and the rules of international law and custom palpably are disre garded. I can only add that this con tinuing offense has led to such losses to American citizens aud to a possible responsibility of the United States to repair them, that this government will be compelled in the near future to press claims for full .eclamation upon the attention or ills majesty s gov- pUDjif. ri iniiciii niiu Liiiat. ui luc r icntii 1 c- Principle Plain and Definite. The principle being plain and defin ite, and the present practice of the governments of Great Britain and France being clearly in contravention of the principle. 1 will state more in detail the position of the government or the United States In regard to the treatment of certain classes of sealed mail under a strict application of the principle upon which our governments seetn to be in general accord. The United States is inclined to the opinion that the classes of mall mat ter, which Include stocks, bonds cou pons and similar scurities are to be re garded as of the same nature as mer chandise or other articles of property and subject to the same exercise of belligerent rights. Money orders, checks, drafts, notes and other negoti able Instruments which may pass as the equivalent of money are, it Is con sidered, to be classed as merchandise. Correspondence, including shipping documents, money order lists, and pa pers of that character, even though relating to enemy supplies or exports, unless carried on the same ship as the property referred to, are, in the opinion I ot this government, to be regarded as "genuine correspondence" and entitled i to unmolested passage. ' Cava Tolerate Abuse Mo Longer. I The government of the United States, in view of the improper methods ern- i ployed by the British and French au- thorities, interrupting malls passing, between the United States and other! neutral countries and between the Unit-: ed States and the enemies of Great I Britain, can tolerate no longer the' wrongs which citizens of the United i States suffer, and continue to suffer through these methods. To submit to a lawless practice of this character would open the door to repeated viola tions of International law by the bel ligerent powers on the ground of mil itary necessity, of which the violator would be the sole Judge. Manifestly a neutral nation cannot permit its rights on the high seas to be determined by belligerents, or the exercise of those rights to be permitted or denied ar bitrarily by the government of a war ring nation. The rights of neutrals are as sacred as the rights of belligerents and must be as strictly observed. The government of the United States, confident in the regard for internation- i -. - - . .

MANY URGE CANDIDACY Blumauer Declares She Stavnds Against Beliglcras Discrimination Flsdfes as "Un-AtnericsUi. For the second time In 15 years, the Portland Woman's club hag a candl date for the position of school dlrec tor. Mrs. S. M. Blumauer was indorsed at an enthusiastic meeting of the club last night, and the slogan "Women's candidate must not be defeated" was adopted. Prominent members of the club spoke, urging Mrs. Blumauer' a fitnese and the desirability of having a woman of her Qualifications on the school board. Mrs. Grace Watt Ross, chairman of the committee in charge of Mrs. Blu mauer's campaign, made a strong plea for all club members to support Mrs. Blumauer, declaring that It was not only the matter of electing a worthy candidate, but also of upholding the club In the stand it had taken. Mrs. Ross said that 15 years ago the club advanced the candidacy of Mrs. Charles E. Sltton for school director. and pointed to Mrs. Sltton's 10 years of good service and voluntary retire ment. Mrs. Blumauer spoke of her candi dacy, saying that she had been asked to declare herself for or against cer tain religious factions, but that she deemed such a request cowardly, un womanly and un-American. "If I am elected," ah said, "it will be because the women of Portland have demanded that a woman, properly qualified, be on the school board." Among the other speakers who warmly indorsed Mrs. Blumauer were Mrs. Millie R. Trumbull. Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, Mrs. Frederick Eggert, Mrs. John M. Scott, Mrs. Theresa Aben droth, Mrs. i Louise B.
