D., Nov. 21. A verdict of guilty returned against George W. Egan, three times candi date for governor of South Dakota, on a charge of making false returns to insurance companies and renuUine in a sentence of two years in tha state penitentiary, was obtained through cutting a deck of playing cards, according to affidavits tiled in circuit court today by two of the jurors. The affidavits were filed in support of a motion for a new trial. According to the affidavits the jury had been deadlocked with ten members for conviction and two for acquittal. After .everal hours, the affidavits say, the two objecting jurors decided to cut for high card to see whether they should let their not guilty stand or agree with the other jurors. The cards said guilty, it was alleged, and a verdict to that effect was returned. to establish a program of assiii'd ping to -re the nation in war gic a guaranty of eotuiui rci tl in-l dtn-ue in 1 i inc ot peace . I Personally addressing a joint session of the Hons and Senate the cxccutie declared an actual monetarf naing to the government mould result from the ' proposed lam. He chalenged every in sinuation of favored interests and the enriching of the special few at the x- ) pense of the public lieasury. The legis lation, In as crtcd, automatically guarded agaius t enrichment or perpe tual bestowal. ''If success attend, as w hope it , wjl,' ' he added, "the government out la is returned, the inspiration of op portunity to earn remains, and Ameri- lenn transportation bv sea is maintain ed." The President said concern about the American merchant policy was not limited "to our own domain," adding that the, maritime nations of the world were "in complete accord with the op position here to the pnding measure." lie declared those nations had a perfect right to such an attitude, but that he wished to stress the American view point which he said should be the view point "from which one hock American carriers at sea, the dependence of American eouiinicc, and American ves st Is for American reiianee hi the event of war.

It is enough to recall that we entered the world war almost wholly dependent on our allies for trans portation by sea.

Out of our eagerness to make up for tho omissions of peace and to meet the war emergency we builded and otherwise fac quired the vast merchant fleet which tho government owns today. In tin; simplest way I can say it, our i.. .mediate, problem is not to build and support a i.ierciiaiit shipping, which I ; hold to be one of the highest and most : worthy aspirations of any grout people; our problc.it is to ileal with what we now i possess.
