New York. Dec s.--GeorEs Preston Sheldon, eeposed President of the Phenix (nre) Irsurance Company, of Brooklyn. lying at deaths door at his Greenwich, Conn, home, was indicted for larceny in the first degree by the grand jury in New York today for ai- ieged misappropriat.on of funds of the company of which he was the head for twenty-two years.
 As sheldon was not arrested, and probably will not be unless his health improves radically, the text of the in dictment was not made public, but ar official of the District Attorneys offics Is authority for the statement that the amount which Sheldon is accused of stealing is s45.0oo.
 The grand jury will now investigate the connection of others with a1liec speculation with the funds of the com pany.
 In the meantime detectives will in- quire into the condition of the accused mans health. If they are satisfied he Is too i'll for trial. no attempt at ex. tradition from Greenwich will be made but he will be kept under close surveil. lance. His condition tonight. as re- ported from Greenwich, was critical
 Four exhibits of interest which have figured in the grand jury investigation so far are three drafts for s10.000 each speculation which Sheldon Is accused of having carried on. Each of these drafts is made the subject of coun in the indictment
 Sheldon Is 64 years old and widely known in insurance circles. He was taken i'll with ptomaine poisoning six weeks ago.

RniIroad Men Want Much Greater Pay
 New York, Dec. S.-Demands for in- creases in wages formulated for pre- sentation to the railroads will call in some eases for a raise of 100 per cent. Vice-President James Murdock. of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, de- clared today.
 The demands have not yet been pre- sented, he said. and will not be until liter January 1, and only then If rat flied by vote of the employees.
 "The increases asked for range from 10 per cent. to 100 per cent" Mir Mur- lock said. "as some of the Eastern pads are actually paying their men some of them at least--50 per cent {. less than is being paid by the Western roads.
 w. C. Brown. president of the New York Central, said this afternoon that if any increase in wages was granted there would have to be an increase in railroad rates. President Brown add ed:
 If there has been an increase In the cost of living since the increase in wages in the latter part of 1906 and early in 1907, then the men are justified in asking for some further increase at this time If no such increase in the cost of livng has taken place. then the men cannot expect more pay. The facts remain to be determined.

MY NULIIFY SENTENCE
ACTION or 1fOn OF MEN IN KEN
 TUCKY.
ExacteA PI<ase From Judge Csmmsck of Swift Legal Death of Negro Complications
 May Be The Result.


 Louisville. Ky, Dec s--Whether the extraordfnary and violent attendant Circumstances of the trial and sem tence to death at Wiliiamstown. Ky. yesterday of the negro Earl Thompson win serve to make the entire proceei- ihgs illegal. was a subject of discus sion in Kentucky today.
 A mob which had met Thompson at the trial when he was brought back from Lexington to answer a charge of criminal assault virtually exaeted a promise from Circuit Judge Cammaek that he would sentence Thompson to hanging within thirty days and keep him. meanwhile. in the Williamstown jail. Cammack delivered the pledge from the steps.
 Within the court house previously Thompson had been tried ani found guilty while a mob over-ran the court chamber and a member of 1t lunged at the negro with a knife.
 Thompson entered strong plea of not guilty. It was after the death sentence and when the sheriff had rushed Thompson into the jail through . rear way that the mob surrounded 1t and was quieted only when Juige Cammack made them his pledge. after he fixed the day of expiation for January [, 1910.
 Both Governor Wilson and Attor- ney General Breathitt stated today at Frankfort that they had no authority to interfere in the negro's case. the matter being entirely without their Jurisdiction. The only way any relief can be afforded the negro is by an appeal to the court of appeals, anl this is considered unlikely.
 It is recalled that in similar case several months ago at MayfieId, Ky. no appeal was taken and that a con- demned negro was executed in accord ance with the verdict.

OBJECTIONS BY FRANCE.
Settlement ef Chinese Loan is D'
 INYed

lNye0.
 Washington. Dec. S.--The delay in reaching a final settlement on all the questions involved in the Hankow Sze Chuen Chinese Railway loan Is charge able to the altogether unexpected ob- jections raised by France.
 Although it is not believed in official circles here that Frances recent ob- structive move with respect to the agreement which had already been reached for American participation in the loan on equal terms with the other powers, can long delay the final set clement, yet the questions involved are said to be of such a frivolous character that the United States Is astonished that France should have regarded them as of consequence
 The matter of issue upon which France seems to lay much stress has to do with questions involving the con struction of about 100 Kilometres of railroad in China, which 1t Is stated may or may not be built.
 The question is regarded here as an academic one of very minor importance
