guilty. last night of conspiracy to de-
fraud the government by underweigh-
ing sugar imported by the American
Sugar Refining company were not
sentenced today. Instead the criminal
branch of the United States circuit
court allowed them freedom under
bail until January s, when they will
present arguments for a new trial.
Spitzer's bail was raised from So
600 to $4,000; that of the others was
continued at $2,500. Henry L. Stim
son, special counsel for the govern
ment announced that he would op-
pose bitterly. any attempt to place the
convicted men on bail after sentence
had been passed.
1t is believed the federal attorneys
welcome the stay in sentence because
they hope that some of the indicted men
may give them valuable information
on the chance OF thus tightening their
punishment.

Judge Martin intimated that confes-

F0ILED JAIL DELIVERY.
Officers Discover Plot to iberate
WilhOit.

Another jail delivery was prevented
this morning when Deputy Sheriff Ben
nett Judkins, and attaches of the Shaw
nee county Jail discovered prearrang-
ed plot of Floyd Wilhoit, and Lester
Youngdorf alias Lawrence Young, to
saw through the windows of the Jail
and allow the former his liberty.
Youngdorf was allowed to go this
morning when his father who resides
at Holton went his bond
Knowing that his father would fur
Eish bond for him, Youngdorf confided
this fact to his companion, and it was
arranged that as soon as Youngdorf
had secured his liberty he was to Sc

holt attached to a. cord and broom
stick which the latter was to pass
through the bars across the corridor,
and out the Jail window.
Once in his possession the matter Of
saving through the iron bars would
have been but a question of opportuni-
ty and nondiscovery. An inmate of the
Jail tipped off the intentions of Will
holt and Youngdorf to the authorities
and before the latter was released this
morning he was taken into the parlor
admitted what was to have been done
had not their plans fallen into the
hands of the officers.
Wilhoit was turned over to the state
one day this week following his arrest
by the police on charge of grand
larceny, specifically the stealing of a
S45 watch from a Rock Island brake
man. When taken. he had in his pos
session two burglar saws. which are yet
in the possession of the police and a
pocket flashlight. The municipal auth
critics say that he is professional
yeggman and is probably wanted some
where FOR a serious offense.
Youngdorf. is the lad who was ar
rested several days ago, and who at
that time gave the name of Lawrence
Young, saying that his parents resided
at Lawrence. 1t now develops that his
T.ame is Lester Youngdorf and that his
parents are residents of Holton He
was also turned over to the state, by
the police, following his arrest. When
taken in custody he admitted having
forged worthless paper to an aggregate
amount of 800.

Mrs. Martin began to question the
regularity of the proceedings She

that she did not want to go back to
the tombs and resisted the officers.
Crying out hystericalIy, sobbing and
protesting she was taken out of the
room and back to prison.
An East Orange newsboy whom
detectives had brought here today

The election of Mr.. Lynch, who now
lives in New Britain, Conn, means
| there will be no war between the two
major leagues. His selections was
brought about by John T. Brush, owner
of the New York Nationals. who was
well acquainted with Mr.. Lynch when
the latter made his headquarters in
Cincinnati. When the magnates gath
cred for the days session, both Mr..
Dreyfuss and Mr.. Hermann declared
that it was evident there could be no
agreement on either Heydler or Ward
and that they proposed to leave the
city this afternoon.
Mr.. Brush said it was foolish for the
magnates to continue the present dead
lock and that as a solution of the diff
ficulty he would propose the name of
Mr.. Lynch. Mr. Hermann arose and
seconded the nomination and the cleo
tion of Mr.. Lynch was made unani-
nous. Charles H. Ebbetts of Brooklyn,
who has bitterly fought the election of
Heydler, arose and nominated Mr..
Heydler for secretary and treasurer
and his nomination and election were
made unanimous. The magnates. after
shaking hands all around, adjourned.
Mr. Lynch has been interested in a
theatrical enterprise. He has not been
active in baseball since 1896.

fuss Of Pittsburg was reelected.
The change, however, alters the COM
piexion of the board because Mr.. Brush
is expected to vote with Murphy and
Dreyfuss whereas Dovey sided with
Hermann and Ebbetts who are now
left in the minority
The new triumvirate-Brush, Murphy
and Dreyfuss-bears out in measure,

prevalent when a deadlock seemed like

Although no official announcement was
made it was said at headquarters that
the National League had directed it's
schedule committee to prepare a 1853
game schedule for 1910.
The 1909 schedule was of 154 games
and the recent action by the American
League Indicated that organization in
tended to keep to the old limit for next
