SYDNEY PLEADS GUILTY
Sentenced to Four Months for Ger
tain Homestead Frauds.

John E. Sydney, the former employe at
the Minnesota Soldiers Home, recently
arrested in Kansas on the charge of hav-
ing presented false affidavits in support
of homestead claims, pleaded guilty late
yesterday afternoon in the United States
district court and was sentenced to four
months imprisonment.
-, Sydney was accused of preparing affi-
davits purporting to be signed by in
mates of the Soldiers Home who were
entitled, under an old law, to homesteads
on government lands. The affidavits were
t ODE used in transferring the veterans
land over to eastern company engaged
in buying up such homestead rights. The
company's agents were not always hon
est. They included Orin F. Mead, who
was sentenced some time ago to four
months imprisonment on charge similar
to that brought against Sydney.
When pleading guilty yesterday Sgd
ney insisted that he was merely the tool
Of Mead. Considering this plea, which is
said to be supported by facts, Judge
Lochren sentenced the accused to four
months imprisonment. although the
maximum sentence is five years.
Another indictment is hanging over
Sydney and Mead as well. These will
be considered at the March term. One of
the charges may then be dismissed be-
cause of valuable information Sydney is
said to have supplied.

A BIG, NEW FACTORY
The William Lorenz Trunk Company
Prepares to Establish an Ex-
tensive Plant.
A Lease Taken on the Building
Formerly Occupied by Nc
Donald Bros.

Arrangements whereby Minneapolis is
to have a new manufacturing industry
were completed this morning. A large
trunk factory will be equipped and put in
operation by Jan. 1 in the five-story
wholesale building on First avenue N late
ly occupied by Mcdonald Bros. 1t will be
put in first-lass condition and equipped
with the latest machinery.
Articles of the William LorenZ Trunk
company were filed with the secretary of
state this morning with a. capitalizat ton
Of $4,000. William Lorenz, A. S. Hefrel-
finger, Guy T.. Bartholomew and George
T. TIalbert are named as the first board Of
directors. Mr.. LOrenZ. who Will be presl-
dent and general manager, has for ten
years conducted a business on Washing
ton avenue N as the Bijou Trunk Factory,
A. S. Heffelfnger, vice president and one
of the principal stockholders, expects to
take an active interest in promoting the
enterprise, without affecting, however, his
position as factory superintendent OF the
North Star Shoe company. Guy l.. Bar
tholomew will be treasurer and In charge
of the office, giving up the position as
manager Of the factory office of the North
Star Shoe company, which he has held for
five years. Mr.. Halbert will act as sec
retary, but will continue to practice law
The company will manufacture it's line
of trunks and sample cases and Wi carry
a large line Of leather goods and novelties,
for iobbing. The northwestern field is
one of the best in the country and opens
great possibilities for trunk factories. 1t
is believed that with the advantage of no
eastern freight rates, with the lowest OF
lumber prices and accessibility to the
northwestern trade, the company Will
start with every condition in it's favor.
Mr.. Lorenz and Mr.. Bartholomew hay
lust returned from a weeks trip inspect
ing the factories in Milwaukee and Chicago
so as to be able to start with a factory
system that will be up-to-date In every
particular.
The company expects to utilize all
skilled trunkmaking help available as soon
as the factory is in operation and Will
train raw help SO that the factory can be
manned as far as possible with home
people.

WHY HE RESIGNED HERE
Rev. A. K. Harsha's Experience in
Pueblo Much Like That He Had
in Minneapolis.

The dismissal OF Rev. A. K. Harsha Of
the Providence church of Pueblo Col.
from the Presbyterian ministry and
church membership yesterday,i as related
IN this morning s dispatches, has reca4led
to many here Mr.. Harsha's experiences
In Minneapolis. The Pueblo presbytery
based its action on contempt for the pres
bytery and on the fact that he is separated
from his wife.
MIR. Harsha was formerly pastor of the
Highland Park Presbyterian church of
Minneapolis and resigned from that
church about six years ago on account of
d1ssension in the church which arose from
MS domestic difficulties. Mrs. Harsha
still makes her home in Minneapolis, al
though she has been away from the city
for several months on a VISIT and the
time OF her return is uncertain =,
+. request for his resignation made BY
the Minneapolis church was unheeded bv
Mr.. Harsha and the matter was taken
up by the Minneapolis presbytery, with
the result that the presbytery requested
him to resign and he did so. No charges
were preferred against him and no further
action could be taken against hin;F but
there has been some regret expressed in
the presbytery since that more severe
measures were not taken,s as the.responsi-
b1l1ty OF dismissing him in good standing
after the trouble rests on the presbytery
~ While the presbytery strongly upheld
the people of the church +who were op-
posed to Mr.. Harsha, there was an in
| fluential element in the church that stood
by him at that time and his forced resig-
nation resulted in the withdrawal of about
| th1rty-f1ve members, including four of the
elders of the church.
The church of which Mr.. Harsha is now
pastor is an independent church, which
the Presbyterians have refused to recog-
nize although 1t calls itself Presby-
terian church. MIR. Harsha after leaving
Minneapolis, went to Pueblo to Pres
| byterian church there. Owing to troubles
in that body he went out, taking with
him part Of the church and organized the
Providence church. The dispatches ,indi-
cate that this church continues: to- give
| him it's support and is involved with him
in the condemnation of the presbytery. =,

FUNDS OF ST. MARKS
Vestrymen Have Been Trying to
Audit the Accounts of the
Former Treasurer.
Contributions Turned in Nearly
Doubled When a New Treas
urer Was Installed.

Since installing "a new treasurer, the
vestrymen of St. Marks Episcopal church
have been trying to secure a satisfactory
auditing of the books of the former treas
urer Frank S. Lewis. A somewhat en-
barrassing inquiry was started When,, Upon
the accession of r. s. Putnam to the Of
flee of treasurer, a sudden and heavy in
crease in the income of the church was
noted. Notwithstanding the fact that the
new treasurer assumed his office early
in the summer, when congregations were
greatly depleted by the annual exodus the
Sunday offerings showed an immediate
gain of nearly 100 per cent. AS for the
preceding months, the. church income had
been more meager than usual, the vestry-
men called upon Mr.. Lewis for an inspec-
tion of the accounts covering his tenure
Of office. There was much delay. and
finally Mr.. Lewis said he was unable to
find the books; they had been sent to the
church and he feared the janitor had
burned them, not knowing their value.
After as careful a checking up as was
possible, the Vestry finally made de-
mand for about 900 which they We're
satisfied had not been accounted for. Ne
gotiations have been in progress for some
weeks, but it is understood that officers
of the church have not been able TO secure
la full. frank statement from the former
treasurer. They believe, however, that
they can trace several hundred dollars OF
the deficit to operations in the stock
market
