Twenty-Five special officers were sworn

EIGHT YEARS FOR COLE.
Penitentiary the Fate of the Boston
Bank President

Boston, May 14.-ln the United States
court here Charles ii. Cole, former pres
ldent of the defunct Globe National hank
oI TINS city, who recently pleaded guilty
on several counts of an indictment charg-
ing nm with misappropriating funds of
the institution. was sentenced to serve
eight years in Greenfield Jail.
The final proceedings in the case took
place before Judge Lowell, before whom
Mr.. Cole pleaded guilty when the day for
trial came. District Attorney Jones rem
resented the government and Melvin o.
Adams and William Schofield were Mr..
Coles lawyers.
In moving for sentence the district at
torney stated that at the time Coles mis-
deeds We're discovered $1,100,0O0 had
been borrowed by the president of the
Globe bank in the banks name and con-
cealed by means of false entries on the
DOCKS of the institution. Although Cole
had made restitution, the district attor-
ney held that he was criminally respon-
Side Tor using the funds of the bank un-
lawfully, and. with the knowledge that he
WAS doing wrong, made the false entries.
me district attorney stated that he did
NOT believe that Cole pleaded guilty to
shield any one else.
~. AudIlS Dlaue the plea for the de-
reilse. reclting many mitigating circum-
stances, giving especial emphasis to the
Efforts of Mr. Cole to prevent the bank
from sustaining losses and TO the action
lf the defendant in assuming all the as
sets considered questionable by the di-
,ectors when he resigned from the presi-
lency of the Globe bank in 1899. The
.acts of Mr.. Coles voluntary return to
Boston to meet the charges against him,
md his plea Of guilty were cited also as
worth consideration in fixing the penalty
IL the case.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Adams state
nent Judge Lowell said he thought Mr..
Ndams was right in his statement that
'lr. Cole had Il claim on the leniency of
lie court from the fact that he had not
'ut the government to the expense of
'rotracted trial.
The clerk read the sentence that the
prisoner be confined for eight years at
lard labor in the Greenfield jail. 1t is
expected that efforts will be made to Sc
ure pardon from the president.

PHILADELPHIA's STRIKE.
The War Between RivnI Labor Or

Philadelphia, May 14.-Thc third week
of the strike of the men employed in the
building trades of this city for higher
wages ana shorter hours opened with Il
suspension of hostlitics between the Al
lied Building Trades Council and the
Brothcrhood of Carpenters and Joiners,
the two organizations of workmen that
have been at odds since few DAYS after
the beginning of the strike
This decision was reached at a meeting
of the executive board of the Allied
Trades who ordered the return to work
of lis men who We're called off all opcra =
tlons where Brothcrhood men were en-
pleyed. Ont of about 10000 mon out of
work about 1,0OO will return.
The suspension will last Il week, during
which time the various subordinate
Brotherhood organizations will decide
whether they will work with nonunion
men. In the event of decision to an
tagonize the Allied Building Trades
Council by working with nonunion men,
the members of the Council will again be
called out.
The trouble began by the Brotherhood.
which is not affiliated with the other
union, deciding to work on any building
whether nonunion men were employed
there or not SO long as the Brotherhood
scale was agreed to. This lea to the AL
lied Trades denouncing the Brotherhood
and calling out all Allied Trades men
where Brotherhood carpenters were at
work. Pending conferences looking to
atfiliation the war was halted, but broke
out when the Brotherhood refused to
affiliate. This was the situation until
now.
With respect to that feature of the
strike between the employers and the

YaIe.s secret society TroubIes.

New Haven, May 14.-The attempted
revolution of the secret society system al
Yale university has apparently received
serious setback. Eta Phi alone of the
sophomore social societies has ratified
the agreement entered into between the
committee representing the secret sopho-
more societies and the petitioners of the
class of 1900. Kappa Psi and He Boule
refuse to act. This action will threw
over into next year all negotiations, the
hope being. it is alleged, that the agita-
ton will die out with graduation of the
present leaders.
