Chicago, Nov. l7.-Judge Hanecy has
passed sentence on Andrew NJ. Lawrence
and H. S. Garfield of the Chicago Ameri-
can for contempt of court and committed
them to 40 and 80 days imprisonment,
respectively, in the county Jail.
An effort was made by the attorneys for
the defendants to secure a writ of habeas

were actually lodged in Jail, but without
success. Later on a petition drawn up
in behalf of Lawrence and Garfield Judge
Dunno issued a habeas corpus order COM
handing the sheriff to bring them before
his court.
The convicted men were confined in jail
only 40 minutes, and when they appeared
before Judge Dunno they were released
on bonds of $4,000 each, pending the hear
ing of the petition for the writ of habeas
corpus on November 25.

The naval officers at the Puget
sound naval station who have charge
of the work of repairing the United
States battleship Oregon have discov.
cred since they began the work that
1t is a task much greater than they
had at first anticipated. The injury
done to the Oregon, and from which
the vessel is now undergoing repairs.
was received by striking an unchar-
tered rock in the China sea in June of
last year.
The vessel was fast on the rock for
seven days, rising and falling with
the tide, and it is due to the fairest
weather and the greatest good for
tune that she was ever fioated. AS il
was she suffered, being pierced by
the rocks in two places, letting the
water in two compartments amidship.
BY closing up the openings leading in
to the other compartments the crew
succeeded in keeping the vessel from
being a total wreck She was taken
to Nagasaki, Japan, where a temper
airy patch some 60 feet wide and 20
feet long was put on her to enable her
tC be brought home. Prior to the be.
ginning of the work of repairing her
it was thought that it would only be
necessary to remove a few plates and
frames from her hull and straighten
and replace them. But since the work
was begun it has been found that the
damage is vastly more extensive than
was anticipated
1t will be necessary to remove over
5000 square feet Of plates from the
ships bottom: to take out three sec
tions, or 120 feet, of her keel more
than one third of the entire keep of
the ship; to remove four bulkheads
and a large number of the heavy
frames. In all over 900 tons of iron
and steel will be removed, Strengthened
and replaced.
To render this task infinitely more
difficult a portion of the work to be
done is directly under the forward
turret, ON which are mounted four of
the 13-inch guns. This turret weighs
900 tons, and the task of bracing the
vessel to retain exactly without the
slightest variation the relative posi-
ton of the parts not taken off is one
requiring the most exact and careful
management. AS the work is to be
done from the bottom it was neces-
sary to lift the vessel from her keel
blocks and stand it on braces placed
along her sides. This stupendOus task
was completed this week. 1t necessi-
tated the use of hundreds of heavy
timbers 12x12 inches and extending
from the bottom Of the dry dock to a
piece of iron riveted to the side Of the
ship about three feet below the water
line
There are now 400 men at work on
the first of next month and possibly
more than doubled before the work is
done, which can not be for several
months.
