ADAMS SENT TO JAIL.
The Gentleman Burglar Given to II
Years Imprisonment.

Windsor, VT, Aug. 14.-The so-ca'led
gentleman burglar of Chester, former
Representative Clarence Adams, who
for upwards of 20 years has plundered
mills, stores and residences in his home
village undetected, was brought to the
State prison here, today, to serve SEN
tence of not less than nine nor more
than 10 years. Had the court sentenced
Adams for all of his confessed crimes
he would have to spend the remainder
of his days behind prison walls. On
all the counts of the Indictment against
him, the combined sentence would have
| been nearly 100 years.
The final proceedings in the famous
case occurred, yesterday, in the little
court house at Woodstock, the seat of
Windsor county. Adams was taken to
the county Jail, Tuesday, and, yester-
day, he was arraigned in court before
Judge Seneca Haselton. The proceed
ings were very brief and did not at
tract a great deal of attention. Adams
was arraigned on. eight counts. He
was represented by w. 3. c. Stickney
of Bethel. and Frank Plumley of North
field. State Attorney Tarbell appeared
for the state.

then addressed the court, asking for
clemency on account Of tho prisoners
good character and standing in the
community.
Attorney Tarbell moved for sentence
on all the counts of the indictment,
but Attorney Stickney said that this
would mean sentence of nearly 100
years, which he held was much more
than the crime warranted. Judge Ha-
selton then sentenced Adams to serve
not less than nine or more than 10 years
in the state prison. The announcement
of the sentence seemed to have little
effect on the defendant
Adams was a prominent and well-to-
do citizen of Chester, who had been
honored on different occasions by the
electors. He had been selectman and
has held other town Offices The cleo
tors sent him to Montpelier to repre-

COL. GAsToN's POSITION.
Massachusetts, Democratic Guberna
ttorial Candidate Issues Statement.

boston, Aug. 14.-Col. W. A. CASTOR,
lFho is a candidate for the Democratic
domination for Governor of Massachu-
Sets, issued a statement, tonight, of
his position on matters which may be
of issue in the campaign. He desired
to have it known, he said. that he is
entirely free from any obligations to
private interests of any nature.
Mr.. CASTOR cOnceives the greatest is
sue of the year to be that of the con-
troll of trusts, and he declares that an
honest enforcement Of the present laws
against trusts by the Republican party
is not possible. The duties on articles
controlled by trusts in his opinion
should be abolished.
He believes in a general reform of
the tariff schedule: but the revision
should provide for the free admission
of raw materials. He is opposed to the
policy of Imperialism and miIitarism of
the Republican administration as be-
ing contrary to the spirit of the cOnsIi-
tuition. He believes the state tax laws
ought to be revised; that there should
be closer trade relations with Canada
and that we should have wider meas
ure of home rule for cities.
He believes in the enactment of just
and equitable laws for the benefit of
labor.
The Governor of Massachusetts, he
thinks. should have the absolute power
of removal of executive officers. lie
favors the abolition of the Governor
Council and of all unnecessary and
useless commissioners. Finally, Col.
Castor says that if he is nominated for
Governor he will do everything in his
power to advance the interests of the

Is Charged Against Gov. Gage of Cali
fornia-He Will Fight.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. H-Gov. Henry
+. Gage was arrested, Wednesday, by a
detective of San Francisco who served on
him a nench warrant charging him witt
criminal libel the warrant having bean
sworn to by the treasurer of the San
Francisco Call The governor was imme
1iately afterward released on a writ or
habeas corpus.
The writ is returnable. Thursday morn
ing, and bail was fixed at the nominal
sum of $50. The petition for the release
from custody on writ of habeas corpus
reviewed at length the occurrences which
preceded the alleged libel and based the
application on the claim that no cause for
action existed and that his actions had
been in the course of his official duty.
Gov Gage cited cases and legal decis-
ions TO show that neither the Presiden;
OF the United States nor the governor of
an Individual state can be arrested for
an overt act provided such act was per-
formed in the course of his official actions
as President or governor.
