dragged him across the yard and then
through the hallway of the front house.

Hard Labor.

FLUSHING, N. Y, May 17-Captain
Peter G. Hains, jr U. S. A., who was
convicted of manslaugilter in the first
degree for killing William E. Annis at
the Bayside Yacht Club last August,
was sentenced today by Justice Garrett
, son In the Supreme Court to an inde-
terminate sentence Of not less than
eight years nor more than sixteen
years, at hard labor in States prison.
John f. Mcintyre, counsel for the
defendant, made the usual motion for
a new trial on the ground that the
verdict was against the weight of evil
dence and also contrary to law. JUS
tice Garretson denied these motions.
Mr.. Mcintyre then raised the point
Of Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court
over the defendant contending that he
had never been released from the juris-
diction Of the Federal Government,
and, therefore, the case was MT prop
erly before the court. Mr.. Mcintyre,
also stated that DR.. Brush, who had
been expert witness for the defense.
had examined Captain Hams since he
was convicted and found him insane.
Hains il Daxed.
Justice Garretson said there was no
I
and he declined to consider the motion
In regard to jurisdiction. The court
clerk then instructed Captain Hams to
come to the bar and proceeded to ask
him the questions usually put to a
man about to be sentenced. The pris-
pner seemed dazed and had some diff
dculty in understanding.

trial and had been defended by ex-
perienced lawyers A jury had found
verdict commensurate with the re-
quirements of the law. He said that
he was not aware that any errors OF
law had been committed. Referring to
the nature of the case, the court said
khat Captain Hams had been indicted
for murder in the first degree, the
severest crime against society, and
although there had been a great deal
of sympathy injected into the case. the
law did not allow man to punish
another for wrong he had suffered or to
wreak vengeance on the man who had
wronged him.
Father Displays Emotion.
After Justice Garretson had imposed
the sentence Captain Hams sat down
and dropped his head on the table be-
fore him. General Hains. the defend
ants father, and Major John Powers
Hains, who were in court displayed
much emotion when the captain was
sentenced.
Mr. Mcintyre asked for stay of
sentence for few days in order to
take an appeal. Justice Garretson said
the case would take the usual course
and gave the defense twenty four hours
in which to file an appeal. He then
remanded Captain Hains to the GUS
tody of the sheriff.

Boys fifth of July lament tthe day after).
The resonant roar of the toy cannon
and the cannon cracker, the blasting
boom Of the anvil, the sibilant sound of
the pinwheei and nigger chaser" the
suave swish of the skyrocket and the
screams of the wounded and dying are
not to be heard in Newark. this year, SO
far as the municipal celebration of the
123d birthday of these United States Is
concerned.
According to the tentative program
adopted bv a subcommittee of the
Board of Aldermen. appointed for that
purpose, this city is to have what is
known as as"safe and sane Fourth"
And, right now, before any boy to
whom the idea does not appeal, rises
to remark anything, we want to tell of
the nice, quiet, pleasant features for the
days entertainment, which have been
substituted for all that horrid noise and
smoke and fire and the attendant acct
dents.
Music and Speeches.
All day there is to be music and reci-
tation and speeches in all of the parks
of the city, and in the evening there is
TO be in the parks speeches. recitations
and music. Market street is, to be
lighted up with lamps of all colors, to
take the place of the. skyrockets and
Roman candles, which are dangerous
and noisy
Now, little boys and girls, is not that
a much nicer way to spend the elo-ri-
GUS Fourth than the old way? Some
one says it is not!
But, really, there are many ad-
vantages to be derived from the safe
and sane idea. Many a boy whose
parents might be forced to spend the
fifth collecting his pieces or watching a
physician dig a segment of toy cannon
out of his neck, or receiving flowers and
condolences, will get up that morning
collected and assembled, with an appe-
tite for breakfast.
NoW. is 1t not better to be up for
breakfast on the NTH Of July than to
be lying in bed waiting for a round hole
in the torso made by a skyrocket stick
to heal up :? Decidedly
Gee, what's a Fourth of July without
fireworks ~ someone asks. The answer
Is very simple one.
1t is safe and sane Fourth and it
is likely to be tried out this year.
