Smith, chief accountant of the Home Bank, was this morning found "guilty" by Judge Coatsworth 'of negligence in making out the month- ly 4nd annual returns of the bank to the department of finance at Ot- tawa.

Bail for the convicted official was renewed, pending sentence one week hence. E. J. Powell went on bond for $15,000 and F. A. Blachford for $10,000. Gordon Shaver, counsel for Smith, said there would probably be an appeal from the judgment of the court.

HOPE IS ABANDONED FOR BOAT'S SAFETY Thought That The Freighter Clifton With Crew of Twenty-eight is Sunk. Cleveland, O., Sept. 26 --Hope that the whaleback freighter Clifton, with a crew of twenty-eight survived the storms of Sunday and Monday on Lake Huron practically was aban- doned today. The only hope held out was by the owners of the ves- sel. Other boatmen believe that the boat, more than eighty hours over- due at Detroit, has sunk with her crew and cargo of stone, A report yesterday that she had put in at Os- coda was ridiculed by lakemen, who claimed that the harbor was not large enough for the boat to enter. Another report that the boat had put in East Tawas was also discredited. The steamer Cadillac, which passed that place while down bound, re- ported late last night that she saw nothing of the vessel. The Clifton's owners base their hope on the fact that no row boats, oars or any w ge from the Has 'been sighted. The last reltable informa-i tion: was from MacKinawa where the boat was reported Sunday night, bound from Sturgeon Bay to De- troit, ROBERT B.

Ireland is divided into two states. Parliament set up Ulster as a sepa- rate unit. When it established the Free State the assumption was that there would be a readjustment or the boundary between the states i necessary. Now the Free State insists such readjustment is necessary. But Ul ster balks and will not appoint a member of the boundary commis- sion. Parliament may be forced to lagis- late. If it does and Ulster, falling to compromise, defends its policies physically, trouble will come. Pressure is being brought to get Ulster to compromise. Three Ul- ster countfes are involved. A ma- jority of the people in them are Catholic, and seemingly in sympathy vith the Pree State. But civcum- stances are such that any revision would bring n (0 many. "It is nonsense to speak of terri- tory being torn from Ulster," the president of Ulster says. "The tear- ing process was at the expense of Ireland as a whole."
