not be much left of it.

Thurston that he should not be liable

very long to decide the matter. The
importance of this case arised largely
from the fact that other parties gave

WOOL MARKET IS
REPORTED STRONG
OVER SIX MILLION POUNDS
NOW BOUGHT IN THIS
STATE.

The latest advices from the east
are to the effect that the wool market
is getting stronger all the time, and
there appears to be no danger of a
slump during the coming year. Con
ditions in Europe are also cited as
being very favorable and altogether
the outlook is very encouraging.
Big Sales in Montana.
If the figures given in the state
press are correct, over six million
pounds OF Montana wool have now
been contracted for by Boston houses,
the largest buyers being Hecht, Lieb-
man & Co., Caverly & Co., and Jere-
miah Williams & Co.
The sales in Fergus county are
about 100000 pounds. Fred Putnum
has gone on east, having secured in
the state 100000 pounds, and Jack
Paterson is the only buyer left in the
city. During the past two or three
days he has bought the clips of J. r.
Porter and William Jackson & Sons,
aggregating about $4,000 pounds. 1t
is the geenral understanding that all
the wool bought in this county
brought 20 cents, except one fairly
large one, for which between 1o and
20 cents was paid

COMMITTED BY THE President
HINDERSTEIN'S SENTENCE TO
EXPIRE IMMEDIATELY.
imprisonment Held to Be Illegal
Under the Law-Georgia Moon
sinner Also Receives Clemency.

President Taft, upon the recommends
ton of Attorney General Wickersham,
has commuted to expire Immediately the
sentence of two years in the Atlanta
federal prison of Louis Hinderstein,
whose case attracted much attention in
Baltimore and throughout Maryland.
Hinderstein pleaded guilty in the dis
trict court of Maryland to harboring and
maintaining an alien girl for immoral
purposes. He pleaded guilty under sec
ton of the immigration act of Febru-
airy 80. 1908. This act prohibits the i'm
portation of foreign girls for immoral
purposes ano their harboring and main
tenance for the same purpose. The
United States Supreme Court recently
declared that the law could prohibit i'm
portation for immoral purposes. but that
once an alien female is landed and given
admission to the United States the fed
eral government no longer had control.
Hinderstein was sentenced October IA,
1908. to two years imprisonment.
Attorney General Wickersham. in his
recommendation to the President. said
that although Hinderstein was illegally in
prison. he had at first thought of allow
habeas corpus proceedings to secure his
freedom. However. it might be best to
commute the sentence. The President
was also loath to sign the Communication
in view of the acknowledged low crime
of the prisoner, and signed merely be-
cause the man is illegally deprived of his
liberty.
President Taft has also commuted the
sentence Of Georgia moonshiner named
Ed F. Colbert. who had the good luck OF
getting Representative Bell on his side
Mr.. Bell heard the trial of Colbert in the
northern district Of Georgia for perjury in
connection with an illicit distillng case
He told President Taft that Colbert
should not have been convicted and wal
In prison improperly. Colbert> was. sen.
fenced to serve two years in the Atlanta
penitentiary. The petition for the pardon
OF Colbert was sought by Senators Clay
and Bacon and half the Georgia cen
gressional delegation. The sentence was
COMMITTED to one year and one day, which
will give Colbert his freedom in short
time.
