YOUNG IS SENTENCED To SING SING

There is no occasion now for me to
make any remark as to the enormity
of your offense. You are aware OF
the penalty of your crime. The SEN
tence of the court is that you be con-
fined in state prison at Sing Sing at
hard labor for the term of your
natural life
For the first time since the case
was called Young walked into court
today without assistance. His eyes
had lost their look of vacant terror,
and he sat straight in his chair look
ing at the court. His responses to
the questions of the judge, however,
were made in an inaudible voice. He
showed no signs Of perturbation after
sentence had been passed.

FRlGHTENs THE BREWERS.
Innocent Little Bill Is Slipped
Through the House.

Washington, Feb. 10.-A little bill
slipped through the house on January
Z, without attracting any attention,
which has since caused a commotion
among the brewers and distillers of
the country. 1t provides that liquors
transported into any state or terri
tory shall upon arrival at the bound
airy of such state before and after
delivery be subject to the operation
of the laws of such state and shall
not be exempt from such laws by rea-
son of being introduced in original
packages or otherwise.
The effect of the bill if it becomes
a law, will be to bar out liquors from
prohibition states or districts in
states where prohibition prevails by
local option.

Bulgaria Will Invade.

Vienna, Feb. 10.-It is asserted
here that Bulgaria is determined te
invade Turkey in the event of an in.
surrection in Macedonia and that the
Macedonian element in Bulgaria is
sd strong that nothing can prevail
against it.
Preparations for a great rising are
pr oceeding openly. Four hundred of.
ficers in the Bulgarian army are ask.
ing for a prolonged leave, which will
not be refused, in order to assist the
rising in Macedonia. 1t is reiterated
tina sever bands, aggregating 5000
men, already have been formed. The
bands will spread throughout Mac
edonia under daring leaders and it
is calculated that they will soon be
reinforced a ~hundredfold.
The unusually mild weather now
prevailing in the Balkans is held to
favor an early outbreak, the only diff
ficulty being the lack of funds, which
it is intended to overcome by the
forcible levy of a patriotic tax on
Macedonians. 1t is further asserted
that if Bulgaria is unsuccessful, she
is assured of Russian support.

come Of the congress of the Central
American republics at Corinto, Mic
argua, last year, at which a treaty
was drawn up and subsequently sign
ed providing for arbitration OF every
disagreement between the republics.
While the congress was being held,
a serious misunderstanding occurred
between President Regalado of Sal.
vador, and President CABRERA of Guat-
emala. 1t was announced from San
Jose, Costa Rica, that the Central
American court of compulsory arbitra-
ton had been installed there, but that
Guatemala had refused to participate.
The movement on the part Of Saliva
dor, Nicaragua and Honduras was re-
ported to be aimed against Guate-
mala in consequence of their atti-
tude at the Corinto congress and
against Porto Rico, which is supposed
to sympathize with Guatemala.
Central American union would be
the ostensible object of the war, the
real motive of which, according to
Panama advices, was that the pres
idents of Salvador. Nicaragua and
Honduras wished to- follow Mexico's
precedent, and establish a federative

MRS. FAIR LIVED LONGEST
HEIRS CLAIM SHE SURVIVED HUs.
BAND THIRTY MINUTES.
With This Evidence They Begin Ac-
ton to Set Aside Agreement
Not to Make Contest.

New York, Feb. 9.-The heirs of
Mrs. Charles Fair, who, with her hus-
band was killed in an automobile ac-
cident in France in August last, have
begun an action here to set aside an
agreement which they entered into
with Mrs. Theresa Oelrichs and Mrs.
Virginia Vanderbilt, sisters of Chas.
Fair, not to start a contest over the
estate. By the agreement, Mrs. Mel
son was to receive 1925 600 and her
daughters jewelry, valued at $780,
900.
1t was claimed at the time that n
der the California laws Mr.. Fair out
tives were entitled to his estate, es-
timated at 5000, 900. Mrs. Fairs 'rela-
tives now say they are prepared to
prove that she lived so minutes long
err than her husband, and as he had
executed a will leaving his entire
estate to her, they are entitled to
the whole of it. Besides filing a com
plant, counsel for the Nelson family
filed a lis pendens against property
on Riverside drive and Seventy-ffth
street, this city. which they claim
was the private property of Mrs Fair.
They also claim furniture, clothing,
s~ilverware, jewelry, bonds and Sc
curities and real estate in San Fran
cisco of the total value of $500, 900,
which they contend Mrs. Fair pos
sessed independent of her husband.
They allege that when the defend
ants offered the settlement, which
was accepted, they we'll knew that
Mrs. Fair outlived her husband, and
the statement that she died before
him was made to defraud them of
the estate.

go SO far as his measure, and not so
far as congress ought to go in the
matter.
Later Senator'S Spooner and Aldrich
had extended talks with the president
about trust legislation. With other
callers the president discussed the
subject, urging upon all, it is under
stood, the desirability that congress
should enact the Nelson amendment
and the Elkins rebate measure. 1t
is the consensus of opinion among
members of congress that both of
those measures will be enacted into
law and that it is scarcely likely that
congress will go further with anti
trust legislation at the present ses-
sion.

regret to them that they cannot make
better Roadway in their effort to ad-

Mr.. Bowen is working out this

CENTRAL AMERICANS HAVE new WAR

London, Feb. 10.-The Daily Mai

from Guatemala declaring that war
has been proclaimed between Guate.
mala on one side and Salvador and
Honduras on the other.
According to previous dispatches
from Panama, Guatemala and Saliva
dor were on the point of wal at the
beginning of February. The Saliva
dorean and Guatemalan armies, COM
manded by their respective presi-
dents, Generals Regalado and CABRERA,
were on the frontier accompanied by
revolutionary refugees.
Troops were constantly leaving the
capital of Salvador, San Salvador, for
the Guatemalan frontier. Nicaragua
was actively helping General Regala-
do, president of Salvador. The Mic

landed Vat Acatjutla, Salvador, 1900
rifles and 300, 900 rounds of ammuni-

news the Figaro published on Satur-

mobilization of 100000 troops, as that
information has been confirmed from
a number of Independent sources. The
Turkish denial, continues the Figaro,
merely proves that Turkey realizes
the danger of the order of mobiliza-
ton and now hesitates to execute it.

BACKED BY RUSSIA
War When 1t Comes Will Be Duel Between Russia
and Turkey-Other Powers Will Be
In at Division.

I1OndOn FeD. lO.-Ihe Turkish
view of the Balkin situation is set
forth in the Pail Mall Gazette by a
staff officer who served in the last
Russo-Turkish war. He says:
There have been many false
alarms, but this spring trouble will
come. The only convincing sign to
be found in the circumstances of
Count Ignatieffis tour of the Balkans
in commemoration of Russian victor
les was not sufficient motive for his
speeches. These were of a sort cal
culated to make mischief. He did not
improvise those speeches or make
them on his W responsibility. That
is no. the Russian way. 1t follows
that in fomenting trouble he was
carrying out the settled policy of the
Russian foreign office. 1t is reason
able to infer that the trouble he made
publicly was not all the trouble he
made.
What one has to remember is that
Macedonia is always ready to rise
whenever she sees a chance Of for
eign assistance, but the leaders know
perfectly we'll that without foreign
assistance their case is hopeless.
Bulgarian assistance is not
enough. The Turks are quite capable
of stopping the B%ulgarians without
bringing a single man from Asia
Minor. This fact is we'll known in
Macedonia, Bulgaria and Russia.
There WILDE no serious rising in Mace
donia until Russia gives the word.
If Russia gives the word it will be
because she is sure of a free hand
without interference from the other
powers. Has Russia a free hand? At
present everything depends on the
answer to that question, and l be-
lieve that it can be answered in the
affirmative.
Take the powers one by one. Since
Lord ~Salisbury's speech about put
ting money on the wrong horse, Rus
STA has held that England does not
count in Balkan politics. France is
her ally. and the alliance may be pre-
sumably relied upon to keep Germany
quiet.
Some small concession on the
Adriatic coast will easily conciliate
any objection Italy may be disposed to
raise. There remains Austria. Has
Austria been first isolated and then
squared with a promise of Servia or
otherwise? That question is the ulti-
mate pivot of the situation, and
though the actual facts are secrets
locked in the breasts of foreign min
listers. there are certain indications
from which any observer can draw his
W conclusions. We may safely say
that Count Lamsdorff's tour resulted
in some arrangements with Austria.
The program of reforms which
Russia, France and Austria have
pressed upon the sultan will not be
carried out. The SHOWS will melt and
the insurgents will take to the noun
tains. The rising will be put down
and the bloodshed involved will be
exaggerated. The Macedonian com
mittee will be no longer held back.
Bulgaria will come to the rescue of
Macedonia, and Russia will have to
come tofthe rescue of Bulgaria. Aus
tria will have to stand aside, keeping
in the ring and awaiting the stipulat-
ed reward of a war like the last one.
The war will be a duel between Rus
STA and Turkey"
