SNYDER IS FOUND
GUILTY OF BRIBERY
Result of the First of the Doodle Trials
in st. Louis-Five Years I'm
prisonment.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 4.-Robert Nc
Clure Snyder was convicted of bribery
in the criminal court tonight and was
sentenced to five years Imprisonment
in the state penitentiary, after the
jury had considered for fifty minutes
Its verdict on the case, which had oc-
cupied an entire week in presentation.
The Jurors had retired, after almost
four hours Of arguments by the attor-
neys for the defense and the state.
No bondsmen were present when
Snyder's conviction was announced,
the defense having apparently been
confident that it's testimony concern
ing Snyder's residence in Kansas City
would convince the jury that he was
entitled to the benefits of the statute of
limitation. The incarceration Of the
convicted man seemed to be imminent,
when two of his attorneys, Judge Hen
ry S. Priest and Morton Jourdan, sign
ed his appeal bond for $4,000, securing
his release until the term of court COM
mencing Monday. Early in this term
Snyder will be sentenced and motions
for appeal and new trial filed.
The close of the trial was marked
by incidents of no less absorbing in
terest than those Of Thursday, when
the story Of Snyders colossal Doodle
transactions and wholesale purchases
of councilmen was revealed.
During the jury's hour of absence
the crowd grew greater and betting
pools were formed by speculative per-
sons in the corridors. The most favor
able prediction made in Snyders be-
half was a hung. jury. Many believed
that the defense had shown facts in
the matter of residence which would
convince some Of the jury that Sny-
der is and has been a resident Of Kan
sas City.
In the whirl of the current of intense
interest which revolved around, Sny-
der sat apparently immobile. When
the verdict was read hardly an in
stant's change in this expression could
be noted. He watched the jurors as
they pressed their way through the
crowd. When the foreman, Charles w.
Wall, broke the silence, he leaned
slightly forward, intently listening.

IRELAND, is A PART OF
RELIGION
BASIC INFLUENCES WHEREBY

Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-Archbishop Ire
land was the guest of honor at the
luncheon given today by the trustees
Of the Industrial Art league.
Love Of work and love of the beau
tiful," he said, "are the basic influences
whereby men may become happy" He
continued:
"He who fails to appreciate the beau
tiful remains a mere piece of matter.
He has never put on the wings Of the
soul and scared upward. Religion,
think, cannot do everything to bring
about the uplifting of the poorer peo-
pie from sordid plains. Religion re-
quires a fertile, prepared soil. Yet,
without the sense of the beautiful, the
soul is lost to the region of purest
ethics.
"What is virtue but order, but the
spirit Of life controlling the material
life? Love for the beautiful is g. part
Of virtue. In the name of religion
would wish to see the sense Of the
beautiful pervading the people. In all
the homes Of the land would see its
mystic presence. Let it be brought
into the home-into the furniture, into
the textiles, into the dress and into the
atmosphere.A Thus would we be doing
religious work if through art we lift
men up and make the world happier"
Archbishop Ireland further declared
the artisan should have the soul of the
artist. He applauded the work of the
Industrial Art league in it's efforts to
develop mankind along higher lines.

livered an address telling of the work

SECRETARY SHAW
ON BANK RESERVE
Head of the Treasury Gives Further
EIucidation of His Recent
Action.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 4.-Sec-
retary Of the Treasury Shaw this af-
ternoon issued the following circular
to national banks:
"a wholly unauthorized and un-
founded report apepars to have been
sent from Washington today, calculat-
ed to mislead, with reference to the
action taken by the secretary of the
treasury relative to the maintenance
of reserves against government de-
posits secured by government bonds.
That there may be no miSunderStand-
ing either as to the law or action taken
by the department you are advised:
"The national banking act. as you
are well aware, lays down the rule that
all associations shall maintain certain
reserve against all deposits; failing to
do which the comptroller of the cur
rency may notify any association to
make good such reserve failing to do
which within thirty days the comp
troller may with the concurrence of the
secretary of the treasury appoint a re-
ceiver,' etc.
'"The law, therefore, lays down the
rule that the reserve shah be main
tanned but lodges discretion with the
comptroller and with the secretary of
the treasury as to the enforcement of
the rule You are therefore notified
that the rule will not be enforced so
far as it relates to government de-
posits secured by government bonds.
ct must be borne in mind in this
connection that it is not the intention
of the department to encourage In
creased credit. On the contrary, very
great conservatism should be exercised.
But it is the desire of the department
that no worthy business interest shall
suffer simply because a bank has in
vested it's money in government bonds
to secure a government deposit, and to
that extent relieved the treasury from
a growing surplus, and has thus re-
stricted it's capacity to extend accomo-
dation,"

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 4.-Sen-
eational developments came to light to-
day In the investigation of wholesale
graveyard robberies that have occurred
in this vicinity during the last few
months, when detectives unearthed ten
bodies in the cellar of the Medical Col
1ege of Indiana. -----.-.
A gang of ten negroes was arrested
several days ago, charged with the
ghoulish work and the leader, Rufus
Cantrell, has confessed to many Of the
robberies and informed the authorities
that other gangs have been operating
IN cemeteries in this and adjoining
counties, and that many Of the rob-
berries accredited to his following were
committed by others. In fact, accord
ing to Cantrell, Central Indiana has
been furnishing cadavers to many col
1eges in this section Of the country.
Graves Examined by Relatives.
Those who have recently laid rela-
$ives away in the cemeteries are great
iy excited and during the last few days
many graves have been reopened to
zee If the caskets have been tampered
with. Investigation in several Of these
cases has revealed empty caskets. The
work had been 80 cleverly done that
not until the last spot Of earth was re-
moved from tho box and the lid raised
could it be told that the bodies were
missing.
Every medical college in this city
has been thoroughly searched for the
Etolen bodies, but to no avail. Six
bodies were found In a picking vat at
the Medical College of Indiana, but the
officials Of this institution proved that
they had been lawfully obtained and
asserted that there were no other
bodies about the buildings. Today de-
tectives went to the college with a
search warrant for the body of Wal
lace johnson, which had been stolen
from the grave in the Ebenezer ceme-
terry. The college officials were reluc-
tant to allow them to make the search,
maintaining the warrant had not been
served upon the right parties.
Ten Bodies Uncovered.
The detectives, however, instituted a
rigid search of the building and as a
last resort raised the floor in the cell
lar Digging here, in short time,
they uncovered ten bodies.
An attempt had been made to destroy
The remains with lime. The college Of
f1cials are very indignant at the latest
phase IN the situation and assert that
the bodies unearthed today are those
of subjects dissected by the students
of last year; that some of them are
cadavers which were in the dissecting
room when the building was burned
several years ago. The detectives say
the bodies have been but recently
buried and that the evidence of quick
lime is very apparent. The bodies are
of both men and women, but are in
such a state that Identification is i'm
possible. Search for the stolen bodies
will be continued.

PERSHING ROUTS THE
MOROS COMPLETELY
Kills or Wounds Hundred of Them
and Captures and Destroys
Forty Forts.

MANILA, Oct. 4. ~ Capt. John J..
Pershing's column has completely
routed the Macu Moros in the island
of Mindanao, killing or wounding a
hundred Of them and capturing and
destroying forty forts. Two Americans
were wounded.
On Tuesday the Moros retired to
their largest and strongest fort, on the
lake shore, aud Wednesday Capt. Per-
Shing attackdA them with artillery,
bombarding the enemy for three hours.
At noon Lieut.. Loring, leading a squad
Of men. attempted to set fire to the
fort. He erept under the walls and
started a blaze. but the Moros discov-
cred him and forced the Americans to
retreat.
During the afternoon the sultan of
Cabugalan led a sortie at the head Of
a band of fanatics armed with krises.
They crept fhrough the grass and
sprang up and attacked the Americans.
The sultan was wounded six times and
boloed an American before he died.
His followers were Killed.
In the darkness Wednesday night
Capt. Pershing took his batteries
within hundred yards of the fort,
closed in his infantry lines and resum-
ed the attack. The Moros broke
through twice and attempted to escape
by the beach, but were discovered and
many Of them were Killed. The Moros
abandoned the fort early7on Thursday
after fifteen hours bombardment, and
Thursday Capt. Pershing destroyed
the rest of the forts and returned to
Camp Wears.
1t is believed the moral effect Of the
defeat of the Moros will be great. Gen.
Davis has ordered that hostilities be
stayed in order to permit the sultan Of
Bacolod and other hostile sultans to
make peace. The sultans of Maciu
were confident of their ability to de-
feat the Americans and vowed before
the fight to enter slavery voluntarily IL
they themselves were defeated.
Gen. Davis has sent Gen. Sumner,
in command of the American forces in
Mindanao, a congratulatory telegram
on the success of Capt. Pershing and
the small American loss.
