Comments at the Capitol ON the Ex-
tent Of the Sentence.


The news of John Y. McKanes sentence
was awaited with great interest by the New
York delegation in the House and formed
the principal topic of conversation during

seemed to be that in view of the jurys
recommendation of mercy a light sentence
would be imposed. Surprise was expressed
by most of them at the length of the term.
But one Brooklyn member was on the
foo- McKane is constituent Of Repre-
sentative Coombs of Brooklyn, and has
twice visited Washington recently TO see his
Congressman. Mr. Coombs had just been
speculating with another member regarding
the probable term which Judge Bartlett
would impose, and was. saying that fo- a
sensitive man fifteen minutes was a pretty
long imprisonment, when he was told that
six years had been allotted.
Mr. Coombs asked to be excused from
making any comments, remarkiny, NC
Kane is a constituent of mine"
Representative Bartlett Of New York is a
brother of Judge Bartlett who sentenced
McKane. His comment, when told that six
years had been imposed, was THAT is lust
right in my opinion.
Representative Cochran. who had been
asked to act as McKane's counsel and had
declined. expressed surprise at the length
of the sentence in view Of the jury's recon-
mendation to mercy.
"Fo- man like McKane" added Nr.
Cochran, the punishment is not in going
to prison. but In coming out"

these books. and they are on sale at IHB
NEWS Office.
The verses are most OF them OF consider
able worth and of interest, aside from the
personality OF their author. For instance,
the poem on his release contains these
two stanzas;

see tho sld men bowed
With weight Of years and worldly care,
But no one do see
Whom have known in former years.
Aud none seem to know me.
And this from lines entitled "what
Could Be Done II Men Were True":
Oppression. cruelty and wrong.
And every vice and human weakness
Would have to die
Ii you and
And this from lines to "A Bunch OF
Roses":
The world outside these prison walls
Both joy and beauty yields,
And flowers waste their sweet perfume
Upon a thousand fields.
But who will send one little rose
To grace a prisoners cell.
Or waste n single thought on him
In solitude that dwen2

Since from old stafford strayed.
From the town loved better than any,
And the home where in boyhood played.
