MUST PAY A
FINE

gerry, is GIVEN A LIGHT SEN
TENcE BY JUDGE GAMBLER.

These straw bond cases created a great
deal of excitement in court circles when
they were revealed. and two men have
already been found guilty and sentenced

that Jud Glenn. lawyer. a man named
Garner and Webb were professional
bondsmen. and that they forged the names
OF several parties TO straw bonds, which
they worked or In several Of the courts In
this city.
Glenn and Garner were soon caught. and
were sentenced. Webb escaped from the
city. and there was quite a romance con-
nected with his capture. He left Atlanta
and went to South Georgia, where. under
an assumed name. he entered business.
He fell In love with young lady in South
Georgia, but her parents for some reason
suspected him and notified the Atlanta
police. Instead OF going to the altar.
Webb went to jail. Judge Gambler, in

he did not think Webb was as guilty as
the other men. and that. owing to his
past good behavior. he would be as light

the crime be treated as misdemeanor.
The straw bonds were given in a number
Of criminal cases. Glenn. being a lawyer
had access to the prisoners and could ar
range for the bonds. The name OF an I'M
Gle of Glenn was then forged to the bonds.
and the prisoners released. The officers,
in taking the bonds. would look at the
tax digest. and as Glenn's uncle had prop
erty. the prisoners were given their liber-
~. It was not until one of the prisoners
skipped his bond and the officers tried to
collect the amount Of the bond that the
fOrgeries were discovered.

Between
HANNA AND
TEDDY
ROOSEVELT AND OHIO SENk
TOR HAVE SEVERED CORDIAL
RELATIONS AS RESULT or
OHIO POLITICS.

WASHINGTON, June s.-President
Roosevelt and the chairman OF the Re-
publican National Committee. Senator
Hanna, have practically severed
the cordial relations which have existed
between them since Roosevelt became
president
Their quarrel is the result Of charges
filed against Federal ofilceholders IN
Cleveland, Ohio. by Representative Bur
ton, OF that district.
The president is determined to investi-
gate.
Senator Hanna is strongly opposed to
such a course.
Friends of both say a serious break Is
threatened. Burton, who Is one OF the
strongest Republicans In congress, has re-
fused to stand for denomination because
his choice for chairman Of the Cleveland
Republican district committee Paul How
land, was ignored. He filed with Roose-
welt charges of pernicious political actiVl-
~ against four Federal ofiiceholders,
who are Hanna's men.
Mr.. Roosevelt was very much surprised
and impressed by the formal charges.
but promised no action at the time. he
sent for Senator Hanna and asked him
If the four men were guilty. Senator
Hanna replied that he had graves doubts
about IT. The president said he was in.
clined to investigate and the senator
urged him strongly not to do so, insist
ing that 1t was not violation OF orders
for Federal oficeholders of that class to
interest themselves in politics. The con-
ference lasted an hour and broke up with
the president resolved to bring an in
vestigation, in spite Of the wishes OF SEN
ator Hanna.
Democrats say that the Ohio fractional
fight will give them the Cleveland dis
trict.
There is no telling where the Roosevelt-
Hanna split may end. Republicans re-
gard 1t as a very dangerous breach.

MARK HANNA EAGER
TO HEAD HIS PARTY

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 10-Sena-
tor Foraker. of Ohio, who Is trying to
wrest from Senator Hanna the control
of the Ohio Republican machine, has
dipped in the Hanna-Roosevelt quarrel.
He called on the president and urged him
to investigate the charges made by Rep
resentative Burton against Hanna's men
in Cleveland
II was announced last night that James
Garfield, the newly appointed civil service
commissioner. would go to Cleveland to-
morrow to investigate the charges, which
means that Roosevelt and Hanna are
right on the verge of a declaration OF war.
Hanna. It Will be remembered. intimated
to the president II he investigated the
charges of pernicious political activity
against HIS (Hanna's) friends, in federal
ofnces, their friendship would be severed.
Foraker wants to run Burton against
Hanna for the senate next year, but Bur-
ton is holding back and declaring he does
not want the Job. 1t IS believed be VIII
change hts mind II the great family row OF
Republicans in Washington is not patched
up. The Foraker faction thinks Hanna
can be beat by Burton.
Hanna's friends say he win welcome 8
split with Roosevelt. as 1t will AFFORD him
an opportunity to go after the presiden-
tial nomination In 1904 against Roosevelt.
They say the great silent sentiment OF
RepubIicanism is for Hanna.
Hanna at WhItehouse.
Senator Hanna had a long conferences
with the, president today. At the conclu-
sion of the interview he talked freely re-
garding the published intention OF Mr.
Burton. Of Ohio. to withdraw from the
race for congress owing 10 the fact that
he had not been permitted to name the
chairman of the district committee.
Senator Hanna. also STATED that the civil
service commission had examined into
Mr. Burton's charges that certain federal
office holders in Ohio had taken an ac-
tive part in politics and had failed to find
anything IN them that constituted vto-
latlOn OF the civil service law. AS re-
suit, the president has Concluded not to
send letters to the Cleveland officers CEN
surfing them for peTnicious activity in poll
stics. With some warmth Senator Hanna
said:
The mere fast that man holds pub
lie office does not necessarily mean that
he should resign his rights of citizenship.
The senator secuted the idea Of his
falling out with the president on this
matter and seemed to feel that he had
been put in false light through Mr.. Bur-
toms action.
Senator Hanna IS usually exceedingly
reticent when leaving the white house,
but today he spoke freely and had APP
rareutly no desire to withhold anything
bearing on this matter.
