SENTENCED TO PRISON.
Albertson and Chandler Will Pass Sex
eral Years in the Penitentiarv

Albertson and Chandler VIII Pass Sew
eral Years in the Penltentiary.
TACOMA (Wash.), Dec. 14.-Edward AL
bertson, the defaulting Cashier of the
Fidelity Trust Company of this city, was
to-day sentenced to ten years in the peni-
tentiary, by Superior Judge Allyn. Fred.
N. Chandler, Albertson's friend and ac-
complice, was sentenced to five years in
the penitentiary.
In September last Albertson took about
O,0O0 Of the banks money, and, being
unable to replace it, he took about $780,
900 worth OF the banks securities, and
after changing the combination of the
safe, left the city. The next day Presi-
dent Wallace, of the Fidelity Trust Com
pany, received a note from Albertson
agreeing to return the securities to the
bank if the bank officers would sign an
agreement granting him immunity from
arrest. In the note Albertson directed
the President of the bank how to reach
a place across the bay from Tacoma.
where he was in hiding. Accordingly
President Wallace took a boat and went
to the place as directed by Albertson,
and there found Chandler, to whom he
gave an agreement in return for the bank
securities.
Albertson and Chandler then travelled
about in the mountains for two or three
weeks, finally going to Coos Bay, where
they were captured September 10th,
Albertson being shot by one of the Depu-
ties who made the arrest. Both men
were brought here and pleaded guilty.
In sentencing Albertson Judge Allyn
said: ''The plea of necessities which drove
him to crime was not valid. As to the
argument Of high standing he enjoyed in
the community, this would not be con-
sldered as plea of clemency. The de-
fendant had little reason to address the
court for mercy. So far as the court was
concerned the higher the previous
standing of the criminal in the COM
munity the less consideration would be
shown him."
Addressing Chandler the court said:
Yours is not so much of a crime as a
mistake. You were influenced by your
friend, and by your loyalty to your
friend.'
Albertson and Chandler will be taken
to the penitentiary tomorrow.

The so-called "Post-electric" system of

invention on a large scale, and it is pro-
posed to test the value of the plan for
rapid mail service between the city and
suburbs. The line to Brooklyn will go
over Booklyn Bridge, and the track of
the line will run directly into the New
York and Brooklyn Postoffice buildings.
The time Of transit will occupy from
three to five minutes. 1t is proposed TO
have mails run every ten minutes. 1t is
also proposed to build tracks upon the
structure Of the elevated roads. The track
rests upon continuous strong timber,
which is supported by strong system OF
posts. The car runs upon single rail,
having a wheel at each end and guide
wheels, which run on the rail above. The
