an oversight of the general superin-

the first double-header that ever
crossed the Rockies. In later life he
was sent out on new engines desig-
mated for speed to show to those who
came after him the possibilities of

speed that Engineer Clarke took most
pride, but in his mastery of the West

passenger engineer forty years, had
run more than 10000 miles rel

Policemen Quinlan and Hardy

Seek Many Good Roads.

It appears that of late the Salem
County F~reeholders are unable to
hold a meeting without an application
being filed for a road to be improved
under State aid. Already there are
about twelve applications on the table
which were favorably received and
are awaiting their turn, and two more
were filed. One came from Salem city
asking that one of the main streets
be improved. partly with shells and
macadam. The other was from the
residents of Upper PENIS Neck
Township asking that the macadam
road just completed there be extend
ed to the Pilesgrove Township line.
This road was approved when State
Road Commissioner Hutchinson was
In Office and was promised when Mr..
Gylkyson assumed the position.

Flushing, L. For killing Will
lam E. Annis at the Bayside Yacht
Club last August Captain Peter c.
Hams, Jr., U. S. A., who was convict
ed of manslaughter in the first de-
gree, was sentenced by Justice Garrett
son in the Supreme Court, in Flush
ing, to not less than eight mol more
than sixteen years at hard labor in
State Prison.
The motions of John F. Mcintyre,
counsel for the defendant, for a new
trial were denied by Justice Garrett
son, as was Mr.. McIntyre's contention
that as Hams had been released
from the jurisdiction of the Federal
Government the case was not properly
before the court.
When the clerk ordered Hams to
the bar to take his pedigree, the pris-
oner seemed dazed. Lawyers McIn-
tyre and Young stood on either side
of him and assisted him In answering
the questions. In passing sentence
Justice Garretson said:
"You have had a fair trial and a
jury has found a verdict common
surate with the requirements of the
law. You have been indicted for the
severest crime against society, and
although there had been a great deal
Of sympathy injected into the case
the law does not allow a man to pun
ish another or to wreak vengeance on
the man who has wronged him."
After Justice Garretson had i'm
posed the sentence Hams sat down,
dropping his head on the table. He
soon recovered himself and sat up
right, staring at the court.
General Hams, the defendants
father, and Major John Powers Hams,
who were in court, displayed much
emotion when the captain was SEN
fenced.
Immediately after sentence the
prisoners lawyers asked for a stay
OF sentence for a few days.
Justice G~arretson gave them twen-
ty-four hours in which to file an APP
peal, remanding Captain Hams to the
custody of the Sheriff.

Later Makes Startling Admissions on
Witness Stand at Calhoun Trial.
San Francisco, Cal.-At the trial of
Patrick Calhoun, Rudolph Spreckels
on the witness stand admitted that he
had been paying a monthly salary to
Francis J. Heney, leader of graft
prosecution. Not only Spreckels but
Heney and his associates have per-
~sistently denied that the prosecutor
received a single dollar from Spreck-
els, and just after Heney was shot a
movement was started to raise a fund
for Heney.
Spreckels on cross-examination adj
mitted he had paid between $500 and
$500 a month to Heney for three
years. This is outside of large sums
which Heney received by the United
States Government.
S~preckels was not a good witness
for the prosecution, but On cross-ex-
animation CalhSun's lawyers extract
ed some interesting facts, one of
which was that Abe Rueff offered, if
Spreckels would get a syndicate to bid
on proposed city bonds, to call a
strike on the United Railroads and
nobody else would bid on the bonds.

eight-year-old Raymond Breen, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Breen, of Spring
field avenue, Summit, chung to the
reins of a runaway horse until it
freed itself from the harness, then
chased it, and finally caught it in a
field, some distance away. With him
in the carriage when the horse took
fright were his two younger brothers,
George and Henry, five and three
years old, respectively, and it was in
an effort to save them that the little
hero hung to the reins and vainly en-
deavored to stop the horse. Although
the hind wheel of the carriage came
off none of the youngsters was hurt.

further advances which the girl
spurned, telling him she had a fiance
In the old country and would have
nothing to do with men of his kind.
When the dance broke up the girl
went to the home of a friend in a
Hungarian tenement house and Luz

the house, and when in the night the
