Philips to serve a year each at hard
labor, will be taken to the peniten-
tiary at Jefferson City with a batch
of federal prisoners next Monday.
These men operated as partners in
a book selling scheme, and finally
they incorporated about a year ago
as the Union Wholesale Publishing
company. This proved their undo
ing, for they swore that the capital
stock was fully paid up, when it was
not, and they proceeded to sell stock
in blocks ranging from 5000 to what
ever they could get to victims in the
states adjacent to Kansas City, bait
ing their hook with glittering prom
ises of large salaries and commits !
sions to be paid these purchasers OF
stock to act as agents in their respec- |
tive territories for the sale OF the
concerns books.

While the grand jury was at work, !
both Snyder and Stewart left Kan

and Stewart to Chicago, where he
was arrested Snyder returned vol /,
unfairly from Mexico when be heard
OF the indictment. |
On the advice of their attorney
both pleaded guilty aud threw them
selves on the mercy Of the court in
the expectation that they would be
let off with a fine. The sentence to
serves year in the penitentiary came
to their ears like clap OF thunder
from clear sky. They and their at
torney wspt in open court and their
pitiful appeals moved all hearers, ev

then every influence that money and
powerful friends could bring to bear
was exerted to secure communication
OF the sentence to a fine instead OF
imprisonment, but without avail.
The prisoners have abandoned all .
hope and they are defiant and bitter,
especially Snyder, who is a man Of
bulldog physique.
1T is pretty tough" said Stewart,
sitting in his cell in the county jail,
this morning, "but guess we'll have
to stand it. We would have fought
the case until doomsday if we hadn't

to pay a fine. We are not broke,

A BILL FOR PENSION
Soldier Guilty of Dis0bcdience, He
Says, Is Not Entitled to BE
Placed on the Rolls.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-PresidenL
Roosevelt today sent to the house a veto
Of the bill pensioning Thomas +. Walter,
a lieutenant in a Pennsylvania volunteer
regiment during the Civil war, at SIT per
month. The veto message states that The
records of the war department show that
this soldier was cashiered by sentence Of
a general court-martial for disobedience
Of orders as to going on picket duty and
that this disobedience was admitted
ITO inscribe his name on the pension
roll" the message says, would be to
condone an inexcusable offense by COM
missioned officer to detract from the high
estimate in which the pension roll ought
ever to be held, and to do injustice to
soldiers now on that roll, especially those
under the act Of June O. 1890, where
an honorable discharge from the service
is precedent to obtain a pension"

martial which tried Maj Littleton w.

charge of executing natives without
trial, today began the trial of Lieut. John
II. A. Day, of the marine corps, on the
same charge. Lieut.. Day testified in his
own defense. He said the man shot Jan.

Il ordered Private Kresge to fire at
his head, and ordered Mcgee to fire at
the center of his back. After the shoot
ing l saw a convulsive shudder of the
mans shoulders, placed my own revolver
to his forehead and shot him dead 1

the ground as an example to the natives
Maj Waller testified that he ordered
the shooting of eleven men, Jan. 20 but
denied ordering the execution of a man
Jan. 10. He admitted he was very ill
at that time.
Surgeon Love testified that Mai. Wal
ler's temperature, Jan. 10, was los. His
illness then was such that he was not
fitted to command. It was likely he
might have given the order and forgot
all about it. He thought an officer would
