Greece and nationalist Turkey ; .but,
on the contrary, is seeking a separate
treaty -.with Tnrkeyj at . Iausanne. , i ,
The mam reason , wnjr , the united
States is not to be a party -to the
treaty of peace' being framed at Lau
sanne is because this country was not
at war with Turkey, and hence this
government does not feel warranted In
maintaining such settlements as those

Dave Llghtner Is guilty of violatlnif
the opium act and of a conspiracy to
violate the -Harrison narcotic, law.
Such was ' the verdict a Jury : rjptumed , :
in Federal Judge : R. S. Bean's court
this morning, following a night' delib
eration.. The Jury acquitted Llghtner
on : another indictment charging him
with possessing and dealing in cocaine.
. Llghtner heard the first -verdict of
guilt without a move. As the clerk .
read, the second verdict or guilty a
faint- grin appeared on - his face. . . He
showed no emotion when the verdict of 1
not guilty was given on the third in- '
dlctment. . , ;
Counsel for Llghtner attempted to f
have' the verdiot on the conspiracy
charge thrown out of court because it
had -not been signed by the foreman.
Judge Bean refused to pay . any atten- -tlon
to the objections, handed the three
verdicts back to the - jurors, toki them
to retire and sign the paper properly. t
In a few minutes they , returned and
the court then announced the three ver
dicts: .Llghtner' attorneys again made
another-- objection to - the verdict be- .
coming part of the' records but-Judge
Dean -again refused to pay any at
tention to them. - ri - -MOTIOK.
FOR JTEW TRIAL '
'. The objection was made because the
jury had separated at :30 o'clock this
morning after announcing that it had
reached an . agreement. Its verdicts
were seated and returned into court at
10 o'clock. When Judge Bean refused
to throw the one-' verdict out, the de-
1 fendant requested 10 days in Jwhich to
file a motion for a new trial.' The court,
allowed the request,
" 'Llghtner. is liable.: under the opium
ron vict ion, to a fine of 85000 and two
year hr a federal prison-, and -under
the . conspiracy aefcta a 110,000 fine and
