half. the jury In the Corporation Court
yesterday evening returned a verdict
Of guilty In the case OF Martha Rob.
1nsou. a negroes charged with selling
Z cocaine. and fixed the punishment at
one year in the state pepitentiary.
Immediately after the reading OF the
verdict, Attorneys c. Aylett Ashby
and r. 8. Robinson. counsel for the
accused. made the usual motion to
set the verdict aside on the grounds
that II was contrary to the law and
the evidence. Judge Barham set
Monday. May 20, as the date COR the
hearing OF the argument on the mo.
ton.
On the application OF the attorneys
Tor the defense. Judge Barham admit.
ted Martha Robinson to bail In the
sum of $500. James Mayo. the hus-
hand Of the woman. being accepted as
security. Commonwealth Attorney
Charles c. Berkeley made vigorous
protest against admitting the woman
to bail. He also offered objection to
the bondsman on the ground that he
could deed his property over to his
wife and the bond then would not be
worth the paper It was written on.
II Il Ia stated that IN the event Il
new trial IL not granted. the case will
be appealed TO the Supreme Court
This will be the first appeal 10 that
court on the new cocaine statute
passed at the last session Of the state
legislature.
The case went to the jury at 3:15
O'Clock yesterday afternoon and after
being out few minutes the jury re-
ported that 1t could not agree. How.
ever, Judge Barham said he would
wait until 4:3O o'clock and give the
turymen time to get together. II IL
understood that on the 6rst ballot the
vote stood ten to two for guilty.
There was no change In the standing
for more than an hour. but one OF
the jurymen who first voted for &C
quittal agreed to vote for one year
!, sentence. The other juryman fol.
lowed suit In short time and the
one year sentence was finally agreed
upon.
Considerable time vas taken UP yes
terday morning In finally agreeing on
the Instructions for the jury. The
argument In the case began before
noon. Captain Berkeley opening for
the prosecution. He made strong
speech. asking for the sentencing OF
the woman. He laid particular stress
on the evil effects of the cocaine
trade among the negroes.
Attorneys f. 8, Robinson and {.
Aylett Ashby followed for the de-
tense. asking for the discharge OF the
accused on the grounds that the
commonwealth had not shown that
Mo had sold any cocaine. Captain
Berkeley closed for the common
wealth.

Hint For Book Lenders.


A book borrowers album Is the de
vice which woman who has a finf
library has employed In order that she
may keep track of her books and that
her friends may not be delinquent In
returning them. she delighted In lend
ing her books. but was far from pleased
In punching her friends up for their
return. Now when a friend asks the
loan OF a book she acquiesces readily
enough, but requests the borrower II
write In the album his or her name
and the date on which the book Is hor
rowed. On returning 1t the borrower
Is asked to comment on the book and
initial 1t. This album always Is kept
In conspicuous place In the drawing
room. where visitors are likely to pick
II M and glance 1t through, learning
who Is not prompt in returning books.
The result Is that this woman now has
her books returned promptly, as the
borrowers know they win be convicted
In the album II they are delinquent.
They take kindly to the plan. the lend.
or does not have to prod them for the
return Of the books. and she has an
album which is valuable 10 her as con-
tanning the comments Of her friends
on the treasures In her library. New

TELEPOST
Four Wires do the Same Amount of
Work as Sixty-eight.

NEW YORK, Mar. Although
obliged to carry on its construction
operations as quietly as possible, the
new telegraph company, the Telepost,
Is making excellent progress with the
establishment OF its lines. Every
ten miles we can get built before the
Iold companies know what we are
doing,a a Telepost official says,
means saving Of at least SO per
cent. That we are making rapid
headway with our lines is shown by
our expenditures for poles and cross
arms now in place"
Besides its own construction, the
Telepost, especially in the western
states, will have the advantage Of us
ing independent telephone wires.
Using the Delany authomatic send
ing and receiving apparatus. the Tel
epost can make four wires do the
work of sixty.eight as operated by
the best existing methods This
gives tremendous advantage to the
Telepost in two most important par
tieulars, first cost and maintenance
Of lines.
This and other economics make
possible a high rate OF earnings on
the Telepost's rate of rs cents for rs
words between all points. On ''teie-
posts" delivered at destination
through the mails, the rate is only
Is cents for 50 words. Its net cost
per message is figured at II cents
while the Western Union and Postal
cost is 80 cents, This comparison
shows a net profit Of IA cents per
message to the new company even
at its much lower rates.
