VICTIM OF A JOINT HOAX.
Alleged Gift of Carnegie to the Town
of kimarnock.

London, Feb. 29-Andrew Carnegie,
the town Of Kilmarnock and the mem
DRY Of Robert Burns have been made
the joint victims of hoax Recently
the town council of Kilmarnock, which
was Robbie's birthplace, received a
letter purpOrting to come from Hew
Morrison, the Edinburg librarian, who
is Mr.. Carnegie's adviser in his library
donations. On reading the letter the
worthy aldermen and councillors could
hardly believe in their luck, and con-
graduated themselves on the future
glory which was to be Kilmarnock's
In f1orid language the letter set forth
the intention of the great benefactor
to commemorate the towns connection
with Scotland's great poet by erecting
a stately temple to his everlasting
glory. On this magnificent scheme
Mr.. Carnegie was alleged to be pre-
pared to spend $2,5O0,OOO.

THE CONSPIRACY TRIAL
Machen, Lorenz and the Grofs
Found Guilty.
Bail Was Furnished For the Convicted
Men, the Sureties Being the
Same as On the Bonds
Prior to Conviction.

Washington, Feb. 27.-"Guilty as in
dicted" was the verdict announced by
Carl Peterson, the foreman of the jury
In the now famous post office conspir-
acy trial, shortly after 8 o'clock Fri
day night, stating at the same time
that this was the verdict as to all four
defendants, August w. Machen, late
general superintendent of the rural
free delivery division; George E. Lo-
REM, of Toledo, o., and Samuel A. and
Diller B. Croft, of this city The jury
had been out nine hours, although the
verdict was reached in eight hours and
twenty-five minutes. Justice Pritchard
had gone to his home, there to await
any summons from the jury, and when
at 1925 o'clock the jury announced to
the deputy marshal outside the jury
room that verdict had been reached
the justice was sent for and arrived at
the courthouse before o'clock.
In the dimly lighted room sat the
four defendants, who, after the case
was given to the jury, had been placed

look and death-like silence fell upon
the small crowd which had been per-
mitted to enter the room as the clerk
inquired of the foreman if a verdict
had been reached. With impressive
dignity the jury to a man rose and as
the words Guilty as indicted" fell
from his lips, the defendants and their
counsel seemed appalled,. During the
time the jury were out the four de-
PENDANTS had paced up and down the
hallway outside the courtroom and
had given expression to the belief that
each hour the jury spent IN discussing
the case brought them nearer to an
acquittal. There was very general as

Samuel A Croft, the Washington po-
hceman and inventor Of the Croft fast

cial counsel for the government, Thurs
day informed the jury he did not ex-
pect a conviction, and that he person
ally did not believe in his guilt.

A MAP OF THE WORLD.
1t Was Installed in the Office of Sec
rotary CorteIyou.

Washington, Feb. ga commercial
map Of the world 16 feet long and 71a
feet wide, prepared in the coast and
geodetic survey under the immediate
supervision of E. H. Fowler, chief
craftsman, has been installed in the
Office of Secretary Cortelyou, of the de-
partment Of commerce and labor. The
location of the continents is different
from that shown on any other map or
atlas heretofore published. The Am
erican continents occupy the center,
thereby permitting the entire Pacific
ocean and the trans-Pacific steamship
and cable routes to the Philippines
and HOng-Kong to be shown without a
break in the center Of the Pacific, as
always has been the case heretofore
The eastern route via the SueZ canal
to the Philippines also is continuously
shown. Cities having a population of
between 100000 and 4OO, 900 are indi-
Gated in distinctive manner
Throughout the whole map all places
OF international interest or Importance
are shown, submarine cables are given,
colonial possessions are indicated by
the same coloring as that Of mother
countries, political boundaries are de-
fined as accurately and much other
valuable information given with clear
ness and brevity.

LIMIT OF THE LAW.
Two Years in Prison and $4,000 Fine
Given the Conspirators.

Washington, Feb. 29.-Two years in
the Moundsville penitentiary in West
Virginia, and each to pay a fine of
$4,000, was handed out to A. w. Ma
chen, Diller B. Croft and George E. Lo-
REM, the postal conspirators, by Judge
Pritchard. The judge being, as he
openly avOwed, in sympathy with the
justice of the verdict, refused a new
trial and refused suspension of SEN
tence. In the case of Samuel A. Croft,
whom the government officers asked
the jury to acquit, but who was never
theless convicted, a suspension Of SEN
tence for four days was granted to
pave the way for an argument for a
new trial.
If the verdict was unexpected by
the men adjudged guilty, the rapidity
of the judge in accelerating their way
to the penitentiary was astounding. 1t
simply crushed all of them. 1t is need
less to add the officials of the govern
ment feel elated over their victory and
they will now push the other cases
rapidly.
