Two Socialists Sentenced By
Porto Rican Judge
THREATENING TO GOV. HUNT
Justice kopeI Says the Flag Is Higher
Than Law and Anarchists Need
Expect No Mercy In
His Court.

San Juan, P. r., September 15.-Ed-
wardo Conde and Leonidas Guillot' two
socialists who spoke In a recent meeting
of the American Federation of Labor,
were put on trial today for insulting the
American flag and threatening the life
of Governor Hunt. Their speeches teem-
ed with abuse of the governor. One OF
the prisoners was accused of advising the
workmen upon the return of Governor
Hunt on October 1 from the United
States to parade, carrying black flags
and then make demands upon the gov
ernment. If these demands were refused,
the speaker added, the alternative Of
killing Governor Hunt remained The
other orator was said to have declared
that the American flag was a rag fit only
to cover rascals and criminals. The ac-
cused vehemently denied the charges.
They were tried before Justice Kopel.
convicted of anarchistic conduct, and
sentenced to six months in prison.
Justice Kopel says the flag Is higher
than the law and anarchists need never
expect any mercy in his court The case
has established a precedent as Porto
Rican official warning that attacks on
the flag and government must stop. The
Americans and loyal Porto Rcans are
jubilant, while the socialists are angry
at today's decision. The convicted men
will appeal from the judgment, claiming
that Justice Kopel had no Jurisdiction, as
there Is no law covering the offense. The
interest in the case is intense.

STORER BIDS THE
PRIEST. FAREWELL
AMBASSADOR TO AUSTR1A-HUN-
GARY BELIEVES THAT WAR BE-
TWEEN TURKEY AND BULGARIA
is lMMl MlNEt.f.

Oyster Bay, September 15.-Ambassador
to Austria Hungary Bellamy Storer today
called on the President to bid him fare
well before returning to his post. Mr..
Storer sails tomorrow.
He said that he regarded the danger or
war between Bulgaria and Turkey as
imminent Bulgaria, he thought, had
nearly reached the limit Of endurance and
unless the powers of Central Europe in
tervened to prevent further outrages on
the part of the Turkish troops. could
scarcely be avoided. In the opinion of
Mr. Storer the hope of peace now must be
based on the conference which is said to
be held the latter part of this month be-
tween the czar of Russia and Emperor
Francis Joseph of AustriaH Hungary. He
did not believe actual war would be pre-
cipitated before that conference, although
the strain on Bulgaria is very great. He
expressed the hope that the czar and EN-
peror Francis Joseph might reach some
solution of the present difficulty that
would divert disastrous conflict which.
once begun. might involve seriously other
European powers.
Ambassador Storer discussed the situation
with President Roosevelt today and now
is hurrying to Europe In order that he
may be in Vienna at the time of the con-
ference between the heads of the two
great powers of Central Europe.

labor and refuse to affiliate with the
other Indians except at fiestas. AT
recent fiesta, he says forty places where
drinks were sold were counted, and the
report adds: 1T is said a deputy mar
