LEADERS
ARE CONVICTED.
Loss of Political Rights Is the
Hardest Blow
PRISON FOR THREE MONTHS
Among the 157 Men VINO Received
Sentence Are Some of the Ablest
Political Leaders in Russia
and Several Peasants.

ST. Petersburg, December 31.-The trial
who signed the Viborg manifesto was
concluded today One hundred and sixty
seven of them were convicted and SEN
fenced to three months Imprisonment,
while two were acquitted on the ground
that they had signed under misappre-
hension The sentence carries with it
the loss of all political rights.
M. Ramischwili, who already has
served more than three months prelim-
mary Imprisonment, will be Immediately
set free. Unless an appeal from the de-
cision of the court is taken the sentence
will take effect January 20, until which
time the deputies will remain at large.
The trial began on December % and
was notable for the powerful speeches
made by the defendants, which seemed
to re-awaken public sentiment and to
infuse the old time spirit into the ranks
of the opposition. The prominence of the
accused, it is generally believed, induced
the government to exercise leniency.
The sentence withdraws from Russian
politics the foremost liberal leaders in
the constitutional movement for several
decades among them being Ivan Petrun-
kevich, who framed the first demand on
the emperor for a constitution; Prince
Dolgoroukoff, Prince Demetri Shakaff-
skoy, ex-secretary of the lower house;
Prince Oblinksy and Prince Ourosoff, the
well-known jurist; M. Petrajitski Vladi-
mir Nahoskoff, leader of the constitu-
tional democrats Max Vinaver and
Linettzy and the peasants Zehilkin and
Nazarenko together with a score of
other noted men.

GER IMAM OFFICER
GUILTY OF MURDER
CAPT. Won GOEBEN cONFESSES
TO MURDER OF BROTHER OFF,
GER AND DEATH PENALTY WILL
PROBABLY BE INFLICTED.

Allenstein, East Prussia. December 81
Capt Won Goeben, a distinguished Off
Ger in the artillery branch of the German
army, has caused a sensation in military
circles by confessing that he is the author
of the mysterious murder of Maj. Won
Schoenbeck, a brother officer, who was
shot dead on Christmas day. Won Goe-
ben will be tried by courtmartial and il
found guilty he will be executed by
shooting in his own garrison.
Mai. Won Schoenbeck, returning home
at late hour Christmas night, heard
some one descending the stairway lead
ing from his wife's room. Drawing his
revolver, he went to meet the intruder
and tried to shoot him. The revolver,
however, missed fire and Won Goeben
then killed the major and made his es-
cape without leaving any trace behind
him. He was subsequently arrested upon
suspicion and confessed at the prelimi-
nary trial.
Capt. Won Goeben served formerly with
the Macedonian gendarmerie and fought
on the side of the Beers in the South
African war.

Georgia Prohibition Law viii
Be Fully Tested
NO INJUNCTION is ASKED
Two Big Brewing Companies Are Par
ties To the Suit in Circuit Court
Which Is Taken Under Advise
nent BY Judge Newman.

Atlanta, December 31.-A bill was filed
in the United States circuit court tonight
asking that the Georgia prohibition law
be declared unconstitutional. Judge New
man has taken the matter under consd-
GRAFTON and will render a decision prob
ably tomorrow.
1t was at first believed that a tempor-
ary injunction would be asked, but the
lawyers handling the case decided not to
do this. Consequently Georgia will go dry
tonight without interference from the
courts
The action brought this afternoon was
in behalf of the Christian Moerlein
Brewing company of Cincinnati and the
Chattanooga Brewing company of Chat
tanooga, Tenn. The defendants are the
sheriffs and other state officers, charged
with the enforcement of the law Judge
Newman tonight indicated that he would
render a decision some time tomorrow,
but this decision will not have the eff
feet of openins the saloons in Georgia.
II is understood that the judge can grant
an order for an early hearing of the con-
stitutlonal question involved or he may
iSl lHe SdSS 80 INTO ordinary court pro-
cedure
1t is claimeN that it is mandatory upon
the legislature to levy taxes for the sup
port of the schools and that these taxes
should come from the sale of liquors.
Numerous nthorties are cited in sup-
port of this contention and these authori.
ties are under consideration by Judge
Newman. The attorneys contend that the
constitution 20 far as it relates to the
school questis is mandatory and they de-
clare in their brief that 1t means you
shall have a public school system and
for its support you shall levy a liquor
tax"
One paragraph in the brief says:
Ever since the first constitution Geor-
gia has always taxed liquor as property
and always regulated the liquor traffic
A total reversal of this policy is not to
be presumed, and especially not when
In its organic law it specifically ordains
a liquor tax"
The brief closes with the claim that it
is not withnsthe power of the general as
sembly to enact such prohibition law.
John c. Hart, attorney general of Geor-
gia, in an interview with the Associated
Press said tonight he had not seen the
bill. but that from his information he
believed the law could not be effectively
attacked and that in his opinion it was
final.
Atlanta was quiet tonight on the ringing
of the final bell There were some few
minor disturbances but nothing of any
serious character.

explosion of gas and coal dust at noon

Benito e. Cuchildessa.
Max Walker.
Matt Brooks.
George Jockovich.
All of the dead men had apparently
been killed instantly and some OF the
bodies were mangled beyond recognition.
Superintendent C. f. Weber, with
party of rescurers, worked all afternoon
in spite of the gases which the mine
workings are filled with. Women and
children are with difficulty kept from the
mouth of the mine.
Carthage is a small town on a branch
line 20 miles from San Antonio, N. NJ, on
the Santa Fe railroad. The explosion
shook the country for miles around and
several of the bodies were thrown out
of the main entries.
A force of about so men are employed
in the mine and all but those who were
killed or injured had gone to dinner.
No cause for the explosion is assigned.

Going Too Fast.
1--WE have been going too fast in busi-
ness and all classes of people have been
living too extravagantly. 1t will be good
for all of us to check this, as we shall
now have to do. The period of read
justment should, however, be shorter and
less severe than it has been after other
panics, We have had a money panic
as bad as 1898, but the fundamental
strength of conditions have enabled us
to stand the curtailment- of credits and
disarrangement of domestic exchanges
with far less destructive results than in
1898 We have imported one hundred
millions of gold in commercial bills with
out the aid of any finance bills which
could not be sold at all. Our exports

Referring to the poverty of Jefferson to national pride. Grover Cleveland. writing in the Youths Companion un- der to title Our People and Their ex- Presidents" argues that definite and generous provision should be made for the maintenance of chief magistrates at the expiration of their terms. He deals with the subject at length and explains that he feels he can do So without his sincerity being questioned. since he is beyond the need of aid from the public treasury.
 ''The condition is by no means met" MT. Cleveland writes, "by the meager and spasmodic relief occasionally fur nished under the guise of a military pension or some other pretext, nor would it be best met by making com pensation dependent upon the discharge of senatorial or other official duty. Our people ought to make definite and dee orous provisions for all cases alike, based on motives of justice and fair ness. and adequate to the situation
