THREE YEARS
FORDR. WHITE
PLEA FOR AN APPEAL. WITHDRAWING A
CONVICT IN THE BALTIMORE PENITENTIARY
HIS IDENTITY LOST-THE VAIL FOR HIS
SON-HIS DIVORCED WIFE NOT IN
EVIDENCE
EVIDENCE.

The famous case of OR" Theo-
dore II. White, or Thomas White,
had it's end, as far as the federal au-
thorities were concerned, yesterday
morning when Judge Morris, in the
United States District Court, sem
fenced White to three years in tae
Maryland Penitentiary ana TO pay a
fine of 1900. White took his pun
ishment apparently unmoved and
walked back 20 the cage in Marshal
Langhammer's Office in the federal
building in charge OF two deputy u
nited States marshals.
He was taken TO the Penitentiary
in a carriage hired by himself at
1870 p. NJ, and by p NJ. had been
measured by the Bertillon system,
had his wavy raven locks shorn and
his curly mustache cut off, had
donned prison stripes and begun
his term of imprisonment.
His term of three years will be
lessened by good behavior, two
months being taken off each year If
there are no bad marks for viola
tions of rules, so that his actual time
in the pen" will be two years and
six months
AS to the fine of $1,000, White
can, IL he so wills, avoid the pay
ment by going into court at the end
of his term and declaring he is a
pauper. He can then be sentenced
TO serve 80 days in Jail.
The parting between DIR. White
and Miss Bessie Travers, his conf
Dental stenographer, was very af-
fecting to the latter. She wept pro-
fusely, and, throwing a kiss from
the tips OF her fingers through the
grated door, she started to leave.
Then she returned, and throwing a
mother kiss, she left the building
weeping. An old colored woman
who had been Whites servant for
years was there 20 say good-by. He
shook hands with her as he started
on his journey to prison.

MELODY ACCUSED
OF CR00KEDNESS

asked for two tickets as he wished
to bring his mother.
Now, according to Mellody's side
of the story, Mooney came to him
and said he had an offer to box
Willie Lewis in New York six
rounds for $4,000 and another offer
from Tom McCarey for $4,000 for
a fight between Melody and Cans.
Then it was that Melody and
Mooney made up" again. They
arrived here together and Melody
now refuses to fight or even meet
Quinn In any negotiations. Conse-
quently Melody is accused of fraud
and Is losing all the friends he has
had in town heretofore. By his
acceptance of tickets from the ath-
letic club and now refusing ito fight
he Is perpetrating a fraud.
Undoubtedly Mooney has the lad
under his control and to square
himself he will in all probability
make all sorts of talk about Quinn.
But look into the past record of
Mooney and Quinn will show the
latter real man of his word.
Wednesday night Melody again
agreed to all the terms of the club
and the agreement Is down in black
and white and also the statement
that he would meet Quinn at
O'Clock yesterday. Before that time
arrived Melody telephoned he
could not come because Mooney
wouldn't allow him to and that any
negotiations made must be through
Mooney and that instead of going
to the club to see Quinn the latter
must come to them.
That is the whole story in a nut
shell from q most reliable source.
Ollie Lindh, Dick Fitzpatrick s
manager. says that Jack Mooney
refuses to consider a fight between
Melody and Fitzpatrick until
Lindh agrees to Melody receiving
35 per cent of the gross receipts,
win or lose, or draw.

The calling off of the Fitzpatrick
Melody fight will probably cause
Kid Scaler to start east sooner than
he had planned. He will jump
straight to New York.
And about Melody, it is admitted
he Is the greatest card the club
could possibly get, yet it might
be well to state that there are
one or two others in this great
land of the free who might draw a

As stated in The Press yesterday
a hitch has occurred In the pro-
posed battle between Honey Mel
lody and Dick Fitzpatrick which
was scheduled for June 8. Jack
Mooney, Mellody's manager is
sore. 1t Is said that out of per-
sonal spite for Eddie Quinn, the 8.
A. A. C. matchmaker, he has block.
ed negotiations between the boxers
and wants to be cock O. tn walk.
Mooney acts as though he had
Quinn in his pocket for some rea-
son. He wants to ride roughshod
over all regulations of the S. A. A.
c., which has made an ironclad
rule that no fighters train In the
gymnasium. He wants a clause in
serted excepting Melody. II Mel
lody were allowed to train there
1t would mean that Instructor Post
and his classes take vacation.
The athletic club will hardly SET
aside this rule for Mr.. Mooney even
If he is Mellody's manager.
After telling Quinn to go ahead
and make all arrangements for the
fight with Fitzpatrick Honey Mello-
dy failed to keep his word and
threw the athletic club down hard
Some time ago Melody wrote to
Eddie Quinn and stated that he had
split with Jack Mooney, his man
ager, and to make all further ne
gotiations with him. Later Quinn

Hamburg Is an independent state
belonging to the federal German

controlled by the plutocratic class

Early In January a meeting of

what steps should be taken. Nearly
5000 were present. A workingman
