YOUNG MEN SENT TO
STATE REFORMATORY
For Robbery-One From MasslIon and Two From
AIIiance-Judge Amber Read Them
a Lecture.
a Lecture,

Three young men were sentenced to
the Mansfield reformatory by Judge
Amber Monday afternoon. Two were
from Alliance and the third was
from Massillon. In the state of Ohio
against James MCGOWAN and Harrum
Nye Early, accused of assaulting
Frank Saunders with intent to rob, the
illness of one of the jurors led to a
postponement of the hearing.
After consulting with their attor>
neys the two young men decided that
rather than have any further delay
they would plead guilty. The evidence
adduced Friday in the trial of the case
was very strong against them, their
own admissions being the most con-
vincing of their guilt.
Jesse Harmon, of Massillon, who
with a companion had been found
guilty of robbing two drunken men in
a Massillon saloon. was also brought
into court and sentenced to the re-
formatory.
In sentencing the young men Judge
Amber talked to them with great
earnestness. He told them that the
length of their term would depend
upon their good behavior If they
showed a disposition to reform they
would be released within the shortest
possible time, which is one year. He
admonished them after they got out to

BREACH BETWEEN THE
PRESIDENT AND
THE SENATE
1T wlDENED PERcEPrIeLY ON
MONDAY.
Senatore Have Taken Further Um-
bragg over Announcement Of
Disposition of Treaties.

Washington, Feb. 13.-There Is
plainly breach between the president
and the United States senate and it
widened perceptibly today. 1t was
hoped that the reeiing would subside
over the International arbitration vote
and that these conventions would be
permitted to die in peace, if the ac-
ton of the senate was not acceptable
to the president.
But senator's have taken further UNI
bragg. They are criticizing the an
nouncement of the disposition to be
made Of the treaties, issued by Secre-
tary Hay today
The Objectionable clause is the one
reading that "he", the president rec
ognizes the right of the senate to re-
Ject a treaty, either by direct vote in
that sense or indirectly by congress
which are Incompatible with it's spirit
or purpose" , ~
They resent, this as an intimation
that they were afraid to come out
openly against the treaties and hence
adopted subterfuge. They say they
voted their convictions and believe
they perfected the conventions. The
aggravation is going to cause the ad-
ninistration trouble when the Santo
~ Domingo treaty comes up for action.
There is Republican sentiment back
of the Bacon resolution of inquiry
presented today. Its purpose is to take
up the arbitration of the Santo Do
mingan improvement company award
and declare the sense of the senate as
TO whether it is legal in view of hav-
ing not been submitted to the senate
for ratification. 1t is in pursuance of
this award that American officials have
taken possession of custom houses in
Santo Domingo and are collecting rev.
enues to pay the claim of the company.
This is the protocol to which state de-
partment officials have referred as an
'arbitratal agreement" 1t was the
disposition of the senate to permit this
feature of the Santo Domingo situa-
tion to pass without further discussion
until the president wrote his letter
last Saturday to Mr. Cullom and fol-
lowed it today with the eommunica,
~ .Nn through Secretary Hay.
The judiciary committee, although
mot voluntarily must make a report
that will tend to further add to the
strained relations.
II is ready to submit report to the
senate declaring that the president has
no constitutional right to decide that a
constructive recess exist for the pur-
pose of making appointments when
one session merges into another.
It will be held that, when the ex-
traordinary session of congress ended
at noon December 8, 1908, and the reg
tlar session began at noon the same
day, no recess, constructive or other
wise, existed and the president has nc
power to make appointments.
In following out his theory that he
had right to construe that a recess
existed the president nominated Leon
Srd Wood to be major general in the
regular army, William d. Crum, a ne.
gro, to be collector of customs al
Charleston, s. C.-and sent in about zoo
stther nominations. declaring all OF
Them to be recess appointments.

Washington, d. c.. Feb. 13.-A
bitter personal invective and an up
roarous assemblage marked a por-
ton of the session of the house of
representatives today. 1t resulted
from Mr.. Sullivan, (Mass) replying
on question Of personal privilege
to an alleged attack made upon him
in a recent issue of the New York
American because of his criticism
of the Hearst freight rate bill.
He charged that the author was
the editor, Congressman w. r
Hearst With face pale with anger
and voice betraying the emotion he
felt, he hurled at Representative
Heart such invec;Ives as "swaggering
bully and referred to the political
assassination" department of his pa
per-
Time and again, to make his re-
marks more forcible, he would point
his finger at Mr.. Hearst.

i've criticism. Others cried for or
der and strove to cut off the on.
slaught of Mr. Sullivan and the cut
ting response delivered quietly by
Mr.. Hearst later but the speaker de-
clared that the respective occupants
of the floor were in order and that
the rules of the house relative to the
use of parliamentary language were
not being in the least infringed upon.
Mr.. Sullivan referred to the at
tack upon him as breach offensive
to law. justice and the proprieties." "
He has the right to criticize me
on the floor or in his paper" he said,
''if he does it fairly, but he must not
seek to coerce by wrongful and cow
ardly use of an INSCRIPTIONS press.
He expressed the hope that when
he had concluded, "Mr. Hearst
would have the decency to avail him
self of his privilege and reply after
the fashion of a manly man, and
not in cowardly newspaper attack.
Mr.. Robinson, of Indiana, made the
point of order that Mr.. Sullivan was
not proceeding in a parliamentary
way.
The speaker ruled that Mr.. Sulli.
van was proceeding under unanimous
consent and could not be taken off
his feet.
Mr.. Sullivan did not name Mr.
Hearst again, but spoke of one sc
bereft of the sense Of proportion
that he might aspire to the presi
dency, unmindful of his own con
temptible and moral equipment"
Mr.. Robinson renewed his point OF
order.
Speaker Cannon had the offensive
paragraph read to the house and pro
ceeded to rule.
"The house will observe" he said
"and the gentleman from Indiana
also"--(a shout or laughter stopped
him).
l. That is one on the chair the
speaker said, bowling his apologies
He ruled that the language complain
ed of could not be construed as un
parliamentary as it was not connect

the floor.

MEMBERS TRIED TO STOP THE GABFEST

"This is the Republican side of the

a sweep of his hand toward that part
of the chamber. There were few Re

the aisle.
THE applause was on the Demo

the Republicans let loose again, the
speaker joining in the merriment.
When his attention was called to
the actual conditions, he remarked
THE members do seem to be mixed
up. The gentleman from Massachus-
etts will proceed in order"
Sullivan continued his attack quite
as sharply as before, never mention
ing Mr. Hearst's name.
Mr. Hearst was given unanimous
consent to reply. He spoke in quiet,
almost gentle tones. The intense
ness of the situation had In no wise

st. Petersburg, Feb. 2.-The War
Office today had not received any
further official dispatches from Nam
churia and nothing was. known of the
counter-attack of the Japanese from
Sandepas. According to the latest
official information the bombardment
is continuing. The general staff was
reluctant to express an opinion, but II
was not considered improbable that
the Japanese may find themselves,
COMPELLED to abandon Sandepas for, as
pointed out in dispatches from
Mukden. the position of the defenders
must be well nigh untenable on ac-
count of the burning down of the
houses surrounding the central strong
hold which is still held by the Japan
ese. Besides their citidel. 1t is com
pletely covered with earth and pieced
only with ioop-loies ana emprasures
for guns, and therefore the smoke
from the conflagration ard powder
gases makes it most difficult for the
defenders TO breathe. In addition,
under the pounding OF mortars ana
heavy artillery any fortification, how
ever strong, must gradually crumbie.
