A MILLIONAIRE

 fore the Grand Jury ,GETS,A 2-YEAR SENTENCE Was FormeIy Member of the House of Delegates and Mixed Up In
 ,, the Suburban BoodIe Y Bribery Scandal.
,GETS,A 2-YEAR SENTENCE

St Louis. December 5.-After two days of trial. Charles J. Denny, millionaire brewer and director of the Suburban Street Railway company, formerly a member of the house of delegates, charg- ed with perjury in connection with the suburban poodle deal, tonight was found guilty and his punishment fixed at two years in the penitentiary.
 The only defense offered by Judge Krum, attorney for Denny, was testi- mony in behalf of the defendants good character. Judge Krum argued that while the defendant may have had in formation that s75,OOO had been placed on deposit in the Lincoln Trust company to be paid out for votes for the passage of the suburban bill, he had no positive knowledge of it. and, therefore, did not commit perjury when he told the grand jury he had no such knowledge Then followed an argument on the difference between knowledge and information.
 Circuit Attorney Folk, in closing for the state, insisted that Denny did know absolutely that the money had been de- posited, and, therefore, perjured himself before the grand jury. The case went to the jury shortly after noon.

CHAMPS PIckENS
 REPLIES TO JACKSON.

Champ Pickens, who owns the. local franchise of the new league, when seen regarding the above statement, said; T am tired of this talking match. The old league claimed Gilks for Mobile and Breitenstein for Memphis, and when it came to a showdown last week we pro- duced contracts with them both. Fisher will be out within a week with a signed statement to the effect that he Is with the new league. They seem to be very uneasy about tour bluffing," judging from their efforts to get peace confer ence at Memphis today.
 ''Regarding Billy Smith, he stated posi- lively before boarding the train for To- ledo that he had been mistreated the past season by the local association and under no conditions would be play with them another year. Old How Do You Do will be found with the new league.
 ''They had better be repairing their old park than troubling about mine, as they are aware there is a clause in their contract saying the lease may be can celled on thirty days notice in event the property is sold This may cause them little trouble. Our ground is secured and work will be commenced in the next ten days on a modern grandstand and bleach- CTS.
 There are several surprises in store for the old league, so it will not do any good for them to get nervous so early in the season.
 ''The old association never lowered any records for putting out money the past season, and if they have changed their tactics this season last weeks bank statement didn't mention it. Birmingham will not support two teams. It will sup port a good club, and when the season opens we propose to show them one, and not a tail-ender. as the old league has furnished the past two seasons"
