John Kelly. an old man and the first
victim under the progressive sentence
act, was up before Judge Speer yes
terday morning for arraignment under
an information charging him with the
crime of petty larceny. The informa-
ton recited the fact that in December
last Kelly pleaded guilty to petty lar
ceny and served a sentence in the coun-
ty Jail, and that on the 3rd of the pres.
ent month he stole a IS blanket from
one John G. Hoffman, under which
state of facts, according to the new
penal code. he is liable to Imprisonment
In the penitentiary for a term not to
exceed five years. Before Mr.. Booth
read the information the court asked
Kelly If he had lawyer or means with
which to employ one.
Your honor. excuse me-" said the
old man, but I'll plead guilty and save
all this talk about a lawyer"
Mr.. Booth suggested that the defend
ant wait until he had been arraigned
before pleading. The information was
then read, after which Kelly again said
he wanted to plead guilty.
DO you understand that such a plea
means that you will be sentenced to
states prison for term not to exceed
five years?" asked the judge.
Kelly did not quite understand 1t that
way. Il don't understand the law" he
said, but 1 must plead guilty to this"
He said he wanted to explain that
when he pleaded guilty to a charge of
petty larceny last December he was
really innocent, but his lawyer told him
that he would get out of Jail sooner IL
he pleaded guilty and took a light SEN
tence than If he waited for a trial, and
upon that advice he pleaded guilty
when he was not guilty. Judge Speer
told Kelly he had better have lawyer
and take time to think about it, and
Seth b. Smith was appointed and took
until Monday to plead.
An information was filed against
James McGraw charging him with at
tempting to commit robbery. McGraw
attempted to hold up one Peter Foley
in Dublin gulch few weeks ago. but
Foley took the fellows gun away from
him. McGraw was arraigned and took
until Monday to plead. Charles Parr
was appointed to defend him.
Charles Martini, the young fellow
who attempted to rob Yoder & Albiez's
pawn shop and was charged with at
tempted burglary in the night time.
was granted permission to withdraw
his plea of not guilty and enter a plea
of guilty to the charge of attempted
burglary in the day time, or second de-
gree. He will be sentenced next Satur-
day.
The following criminal cases were set
for trial: Philip Carr, grand larceny
April l; Frank Baldwin, assault in the
first degree, April 2; George Davis,
grand larceny, April 3; Henry Connel-
ly, Frank Gaffney, George Smith, rob-

The divorce case of Augusta Ward
against John Ward had been set for
hearing i'm Judge Speer's court yester-
day on the defendants motion for an
order to restrain Mrs. Ward from re-
moving the children beyond the juris-
diction Of the court, but before the case
was reached Ward had discovered that
his wife had left the state with the
children last Wednesday and he almost
tore his long hair with vexation and
anger The hearing was continued for
one week. Mrs. Ward sued for a d.
vorce on the ground of desertion and
non-support extending for a period Of
two years during which time. she al
legged. Ward contributed nothing to the
support of herself and children and she
was compelled to ask for and accept
aid from the county. Recently several
children by her former husband inher-
tied a lot of land and other property in
Idaho and she was anxious 10 go TO
that state to live, and then. she says.
when her husband heard of her good
fortune he was anxious to return TO
her, but she wouldn't have 1t. Notice
was served on the defendant OF an in
tention TO take her deposition, as she
did not expect to be in Butte at the
trial, and this gave the defendant in
formation that she Intended TO leave
the state and he applied TO the court
for a restraining order. but ne was too
late. The motion was filed on the 18th
and on the 18th Mrs. Ward left for
Idaho.

CIVIL SERVICE ASSOCIATION
Delegates Gather for Convention in This
Uity.
City.
Relation of the Association to the
Tenure of ONCE Law - The
I"'T 90" FFaterhal Feature.

About twenty delegates have assembled
for q convention at Willard's Hotel for the
formation of a national civil service re-
form association among government en-
ployes under the classified service. The
delegates are mostly from local associations
al present in existence among custom house
employees. and they come from all parts of
the country; from New Orleans, San Fran
cisco, Portland, Port Townsend, as well
as from Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York.
The meeting is the result Of a call, by
way Of suggestion, sent out some time ago
by ]. E. Clayton, president of the assocIa-
ton formed among the employees of the
custom house at New Orleans. There is no
definite plan of organization yet settled on.
Mr.. Clayton says that his idea is that the
association should be chiefly benevolent, as
the. New Orleans association is, while ann
ing to preserve the spirit of civil service
Iel0rm as far they, being beneficiaries,
can DO SO with propriety.
He says that they realize that it would
excite antagoniSm and criticism for them
to form an association for the purpose of
influencing legislation or even for the ex-
press object of preserving the civil service
reform system, and they do not intend to
encroach upon the proprieties. Therefore,
while there has not yet been any exchange
of views. he thinks the plan Of the national
association will be to promote fraternity
among the employees under the civil serv-
ice. He says that the association in New
Orleans looks after its members when they
are sick. attends their funerals when they
die. or. If necessary, pays their funeral
expenses.
There Is no political object, he says.
Some of the delegates have a more broad
ened view OF the organization, believing
that the general Interests of civil service
reform should be the care of the associa-
lion. No hour is appointed for the meet
ing today, and ii is expected that there
Will be nothing more than an informal ex-
change OF views before assembling for a
regular session. The session will be pri-
vate. The delegates will probably call on
the civil service commissioners today.

From the New York Times.
The registration in New York civ of
33l ,214, which is greater by about 22OoO
than ever before, furnished the most inter-
esting text for political discussions yester-
day. One feature which was brought out
by those whose political beliefs are anti
Tammany was that this is probably more
nearly an honest registration than any the
city has had in the presidential years with
which 1t is compared,
ut should be remembered" said Cor
nelius Van Cott. the chairman of the re-
publican county committee, that in the
total Of 3O9.891. which was the registration
in 1892. there were, according to the hesr
estimates. 1900 fraudulent rames On the
list. Counting those out, the actual in
crease this year is larger than appears on
the face Of the figures
John c. Sheehan said yesterday that
from the Tammany and Bryan point of
view. the registration Is satisfactory. ..If
the total had been from 100000 to 4OOOOO.
he said, ut would have been against rs
Now. I think 1t Is in our favor. 1 have
I know the Tammany vote and the BRYAN
vote is registered. The figures show only
the normal increase. l believe Bryan will
carry the city by 30,0OO.''
Chairman Van Cott said the repfstrats tson
was satisfactory to him. 1t Indicated nm
usual interest in those parts of the citv
where sound money sentiment predomi-
mates.
Executive Chairman Benjamin B. OdelI
jr.. Of the state committee received re-
ports yesterday on the registration from
many cities Of the state. With only one
exception, all places heard from show an
increase over that of two years ago, with
which comparisons were made

Gov. Alfgeld's Argument Before n

John r. Atgeld. governor of Illinois.
spoke In Cooper Union. New York, Satur-
day night to large audience. He declared
that the Interference of the federal au-
thorities at the time of the Chicago riots
was wholly unwarranted: that the troops
from Fort Sheridan were ordered out be-
fore there was any symptom os.sexio~sd,s-
order; that trains were being run in and
out of Chicago with little loss of time and
that when there was delay It was due to
the railways inability to secure mon; that
the presence Of the federal troops had an
irritating effect and did more harm than
good, and that disorder was finally sup
pressed by the state troops and police.
In support of his statements regarding
the movement Of trains he reaA~the reports
submitted every day In Chicago at that
time.
