NOT REMOVED
MIR. sTERNFELD HAS BEEN sUs-
 PENDED FOR INVESTIGATION.
Assistant District Attorney Explains the "IrreguEaritiesF Charged Against Him Are Due to
 Drawing Two Salaries.

Julius Sternfeld. Second Assistant United States District Attorney in Montgomery has not been removed from office as was stated in yesterdays Advertiser by the Washington cores pondent, but he has been suspended from office by Attorney General Moody pending an investigation of a report that he received pay from the govern ment for two official positions.
 Mir. Sternfeld explained yesterday that he was appointed by the Depart ment a special attorney In peonage cases and drew a salary as such while drawing salary as we'll for filling the duties of an Assistant District Attor- ney. He expresses the belief that the matter was entirely regular and with the knowledge and consent of officers Of the Department of Justice.
 Upon the strenuous denial by Mir Sternfeld of nis removal from office The Advertiser took steps to confirm It's information and to get at the ex- act facts. Telegrams were sent to R. H. Watkins. the Washington corres- pondent of the paper. until yesterday, and to A. J. Stofer, trained newspa- per correspondent. who. according to arrangements made some time ago. has just succeeded MT. Watkins as repre- oOhe1tifC Ol 1HG AuNtTL1HGI m WASh- lngton. Inquiry was made of MT. Sto- fer, not through want of confidence in MT. Watkins, but because 1t was fear ed that confusion might arise and the desired information would not be se- cured.
 Mir. Watkins telegraphed The Ad- vertiser as follows:
 Washington, D. C., Nov. 24-Attor- ney General Moody, when this evening asked as to the reliability of the re- port of yesterday, that he had issued an order for the removal from office of Assistant United States District Attor- ney Julius Sternfeld at Montgomery. on the ground of irregularity in his accounts, said to the representative of The Advertiser:
 He has been suspended pending an investigation. which will be speedily made. have his letter." (Attornev General Moody hesitated here and then added) More than that I do not care to say
 ~ "R. H. Watkins"
 The following is the result of MT Stofers investigations:
 Washington, D. C., Nov. 24.
 It Is learned on excellent authority that one of the assistant United Ststes Attorneys at Montgomery has had seri- ous charges preferred against hin, at the Department of Justice. and that the case has even been brought to tbe attention of President Roosevelt.
 Department officials admit that the case IS being investigated, but until decision Is reached, they sav if ,yn,,1d not be fair tofmake public fbe nafn-a Of the charges. upon the ground that if the accused Assistant Attorney. is moi proven guilty. it is hardly the right thing to have his case publicly dis cussed at this time. The of1cisIs at present decline also to say which As sistant Attorney is being investigated.

DOUGHERTY SENTENCED
THE EX-BANkER ENTERS PLEAS
 OF GUILTY.
Heavy Punishment Meted Out by Judge wOrthington to Former President
 of Board of Education of Peoria.

Peoria. H., Nov. 24.-Newton C.. Dougherty. former banker and Presi. dent of the Board of Education, ap. peared before Judge Warrington to- day, pleaded guilty to five of the forg- cry charges against him and was given a sentence of from one to four years on each of the five counts of the in- dictments, the same to be concurrent He will be taken to Joliet tonight or tomorrow.
 The prisoner, accompanied by W. L.. Irwin, one of his attorneys, his son Ralph, and a deputy sheriff, left the fail at 1O:30 o'clock. As he left the building Dougherty said to the tailer:
 well. I guess I'll have to do it."
 In the court room there were 200 spectators who had heard that the ex- educator and financier would plead guilty. Attorney Irwin addressed the court He said that Dougherty had turned all of his property over to him and that he Qrwin) having been au- thority to settle the affairs of the pris- oner He added that Dougherty's prop erty would amount to more than the school board defalcations. He admitted that Dougherty had been careless and that he stood willing to take his pun ishment.
 Judge Worthington replied as fol- lows:
 Sentence in Passed.
 q find it necessary to send him to the penitentiary as the law provides. It will be a severe punishment. In count No. the sentence will be confinement in the penitentiary at Joliet for an in deternlinate term not less than one year nor more than fourteen years solitary confinement. In counts 2, 21, 240, 243 and PA the same sentence. That is aIL"
 While the court was speaking Dough- erty looked straight ahead of him and did not move muscle. He said noth- ing when the sentence was pronounced and was taken back to jail escorted by his attorneys.
 Dougherty's action today was unex- pected as 1t was astonishing. he having last week pleaded not guilty to the same charges. This marks the closing scenes of the most astounding school fund robbery ever brought to public mo- tice For twenty-five years Newton c. Dougherty, as City Superintendent, and for nearly twenty years as Secretary of the Board, he had almost absolute con- trol of the school funds. He issued script and handled notes and checks as i fthey were his own property.
 As President of the Peoria National Bank he was enabled to cover up his peculations so well that from June 30, 1904, to June 30, 1905, the school fund shortage amounted to S94,000. While all the books of the board have not been examined by a special auditing committee now at work, it is currently believed that the aggregate amount of money taken will reach S1,O0o,O00.

and perform an autopsy at which there would not be only medical officers of the Naval Academy stan, but two who will be, in a measure, representatives of the defense, and possibly others II Is known that the defense has sum moned many witnesses to testify. ana it is hard to foresee the end of the court, though 1t is now believed that it will last until the end of next week. By law, the court will meet every day. Sundays and holidays included, until the end of the trial is reached.
 The defense offered two witnesses during the afternoon session. They were Midshipman Herbert B. Labhardt. a classmate and former roommate or Meriwether, and Midshipman Norman M Smith. a very trim little hrst-ciass man.
 Branch Hounded BIeriwether.
 Labhardt was called to show that Branen had done things to Meriwether calculated to make good his assertion that he would make life not worth living for him." but his testimony was nat particularly strong. He sssd. how ever, on one occasion, Branch had cons to their room and made Meriwether hold a book in his mouth and on an- other occasion had spoken harshiy to him about doing things not permitted to members of his class by the instttu- tion's unwritten laws.
 He was examined particularly for the purpose of showing that the opportuni- ties of the midshipnen to acquire a knowledge of the regulations against fighting were limited and also as to the resource of lower class man who was imposed upon by senior, espe- cially by unjust reports.
 During the course of Mfdshipman Smiths testimony, it was to be noted that United States District Attorney Rose of Baltimore. who Is associated in the prosecution with Judge Advocate Mark, took a keen interest in the evidence given that fighting had in- creased since hazing was Knocked out" at the academy.
 New Forms of HazinR.
 He brought out very clearly by his questions that the midshipmen were still compelled to do various silly things and obey ridiculous rules. the impelling force being the fact that if fight, whereas they were formerly coms pelled to do the same thing by imposi- tion of physical cruelty fin the shape of hazing.
 The special point which the defense sought to prove by Midshipman Smith was that Branch, when not on duty had voluntarily informed the witness who was in charge of the floor that Meri- wether had broken some rule and this was so stated by Smith.
 The further examination was along the same general lines as that of the former witness, being intended to show that midshipmen have little opportun- ity to know of the rules against fight ing and that the authorities do not vig- orously carry out such rules.
 The witness said there had been many cases in which participant in a fight was carried to a hospital and that from there the authorities must have known that there had been a fight He had known of only one punishment being inflicted, and that consisted of the imposition of a few demcrits

ONE OR THE RANGERS
But They Kept the Trail Until They
 Got the Right Man.

Lieutenant Wheeler of the rangers spent yesterday in the city coming up from Douglas and leaving again for that place last night. Lieutenant Wheeler says the ranger organization was never buster than now and every man of them is busy, most of them in field work.
 He had one item of news interest connected with which there is a good joke on the rangers. Monday, Ser geant old of the ranger force arrested a man named Rivera in NOgales. who is wanted by the Mexican authorities for Q murder committed in Altar about a year ago. In due time it is probable the Mexican officials will claim their own through due process of eNtradi- tiOn. Thct much is news and this is the story:
 Soon after the murder was commit ted the rangers were informed that the fugitive was supposed to be in south ern Arizona and requested to be on the watch for him. In a short time party of the rangers arrested a man in the hills by the name of Rivera, who an sweTed the description of the man wanted. So certain were they that they had the right man that no chance was taken with him and ne was put in bracelets at once.
 While they were yet in camp an other Mexican came by the place and seeing his countryman in trouble, stop ped to talk with him, in the presence of his captOrs, who, of course, made no objection. When the interview was over the stranger passed on. It now transpires that the stranger was the real Rivera, but the suspect did not give him away knowing he could be proven the wrong man when the pro- per time came. The fact of the real outlaw coming along at such a time was an unusual OCurrence but that he should find his double both in name and appearance. already in custody, makes the incident read like a novel. But the rangers are not telling that kind of stories about themselves unless they are so.
