Partial Remission Of Two Years
Sentence

New York, June 22.-The appear
ance of George c. White who pleaded
guilty last week along with Mrs. Kill
cannon, the dressmaker, and her aus
band to charges OF smuggling before
the United States Grand Jury yester-
day set report in circulation which
became well authenticated before the
close of the day, that White had de-
cided to tell all he knew about SNUG
Cling plots.
According to the idea that United
States Attorney Wise entertains, this
will be a good deal, for White is be-
lieved to have been entirely cognizant
of the plot that was broken up when
trunks containing $4,000 worth of la
ces and silks were seized several
months ago. The contents of these
trunks have since been sold at public
auction
The information that White had de-
cided to talk was accompanied by a re-
port that he would receive the remis.
sion of some part of ais two year sen.
tence as a reward, but this Mr.. Wise
denied. 1t is understood however
that Whites wife and relatives have
begged him to assist the government
as much as he can in the hope that
some such reward may be given to
him Mrs. White swooned in court
last Wednesday when tne sentence
was announced

GOULD WILL NOT Be
W|TNESSINCASE
AGAINST HIM
Sensation Seekers Disappoint-
ed by Announcement
DEFENCE ON REBUTTAL
Wife's Attorney Putting In Testimony
to Show that She Was not
Incorporate

New York, June 22.-Sensation
seekers and the curious who have
waited daily on the suit of Katherine
Clemmons Gould for separation with
alimony of $250,0O0 a year, from her
husband, Howard Gould, were sadly
disappointed at the resumption of the
hearings yesterday before Justice
Bowling in the supreme court, when
it was announced That the defense
had rested and that Howard Gould
would not take the stand 1t had been
expected that his direct testimony and
his cross examination by Clarence j.
Shearn counsel for the plaintiff would
take two full days, but the termina-
ton of the case is now looked for at
a correspondingly early date.
Mr.. Shearn was apparently greatly
surprised and taken back by the an
nouncement that Howard Gould would
not testify. Gould himself seemed re-
lieved and Mrs Gould annoyed.
When ne recovered from his aston
ishment Mr.. Shearn led off the rebut-
tai WIN utblSntu W HllON,
he explained, ''the falsity of the charge
that Mrs Gould was continually and
aabitually intoxicated from 1902 to the
present date"
DO you regard such evidence as
necessary asked the court.
Necessary or not, counsel for the
plaintin thereupon produced stream
Of below-stairs witnesses, whose testi-
nony was followed by the reading of
dispositions of guests and friends who
swore that Mrs. Gould never. to their
knowledge drank to excess, and that
she was always affable, reserved and
modest in her language testimony di
rectly opposite to that the defendant S
witnesses have given previously.
II was on account of the unexpected
attitude taken by the defense that MI
Shearn ran short of witnesses late in
the day and was Obliged to introduce
the dispositions. He promised, how.
ever to have a string of about fifty
ready when court opens today who
will testify in rebuttal to disprove, il
possible. the husbands charges includ
ing Mrs. Gould's alleged associations
with Dustin Farnum. the actor.

New York, June 22.-After bit of
police furry yesterday and telephon-

Elsie Sigel resolved itself into an un-
solved crime again last night.
Chung Sin. whose room adjoins that
where the body was found, Is held by
the police of Amsterdam, but what
has been learned from aim has not
served to clear up the facts. A China
man arrested at Schenectady yester-
day, at first thought to be Leon Ling

derer, has practically established his
innocence.
Sun Leong, keeper of the restaurant
above the room watch the body was

which is taken TO mean that he is not
implicated.
The body of Elsie Sigel was quietly
buried last evening in Woodlawn

Monkeying With Them Now Would

Editor of the Banner:-In the

ledge would carry you as far as the
detail operations and conduct of the
Diaries which are supplying the PEG
pie of Bennington with milk and
cream.
1t is not at all surprising to me nor
would it be to anyone acquainted with
the cost and manner of producing
such milk and cream as is in general
furnished to the people of the town of
Bennington, that Mr.. Livingston
SHOULD be surprised in it's superior
test, when, as a matter of fact, the
people of Bennington are paying less
for Dairy products, as a rule, than
most any town in the state, but he
will find if he will take the trouble to
make personal examination of some
of the Diaries. that they are not con-
Quoted as Diaries generally were
some years ago. but that up-to-date
and careful methods are being used to
produce clean and superior product.
The time for the selling of watered
milk, which carried WITH it the taste
of the barnyard has past, and this is
due in part to the farmers and part to
the local health board, of which per-
sonally can see no reason for com
plant, and If Mr.. Livingston or any
other person has an idea that the
sample which was sent from our
Dairy for examination at the state
laboratory was tempered with in any
way and in consequence was not a
fair and honest sample of our produc-
ton, | would invite the purchase from
either of our carts at any time, anoth-
er sample which could be sent to the

animation, and / feel assured that in

New York, June 22-The offer of
81 500 in prizes for professional Mar
athon race at Burlington, Vt, Monday
July 5, as a part of its Champlain
tercentenary celebration has attract
ed general interest among Marathon
runners. Yesterday a contract was
made by Charles J. Harvey local
promoter, to take four or five long
distance men to Vermont including no
less world celebrity than John j.
Hayes winner of the Marathon at the
Olympic games in London last August.
Others now in line to accompany
Hayes to Burlington and race MIN for
the big share of the $500 are the Irish
champion, E. II. C'Pat") White; the
Indian runners, Black Hawk and Simp
son and the Cuban Carvajal who took
part in the Marathon run at the Polo
Grounds this spring
The record made by Johnnie Hayes
in the London Olympic Marathon was
two hours, 55 minutes, IS 2-3 seconds.
The course run was from the east
lawn of Windsor Castle to the stadium
distance of &c miles, 3S5 yards and
1t was entirely due to the head work
displayed by Hayes throughout the
race that he was able to beat the field.
Critics say that had Dorando given as
much attention to pace as did Hayes,
he would nave been able to finish
without collapsing' within 440 yards of
the finish
E. III. White won the 14th regiment,

passed them. 1t is t'nis outstanding of
speed that stamps the Marathon run
ner as one of class, no old head allow
ing himself to be run off his feet the
first half of the long race.
The men will begin tomorrow to
