CAPT. HANS
 SENTENCED TO
 SING SING

(Continued from First Page) the law in his own hands and punish
 those who have either really or in fancy wronged them You have had been convicted upon the evidence. It is my duty to impose sentence. The sentence of the court is that you shall
 be confined in the State prison at Sing Sing for a. term not less than eight years and not more than sixteen years at hard labor"
 Hains shuffled back. to his seat, dropped into his chair and began again to roll and unroll the lock of hair on
 his forehead which he has fingered constantly ever since the trial was first
 begun. Later he was taken into an ante-room where his father, General Hains, with the lawyers joined him. Within an hour after sentence had been imposed he was returned to his cell in the Long Island jail and prep arations begun for his removal to the State prison.
 Mcintyre asked Justice Garretson for an order prohibiting the immediate transfer of the prisoner to the State penitentiary, but was refused. Tt is
 entirely within the Jurisdiction of Sher- if Harvey when he takes this convict
 to States prison,'' said the court, "and have no doubt that the sheriff will
 act in a fair manner upon any re- quests"
 Neither Captain Hains nor General
 Hains cared to discuss the future ac-
 ton of the family in the matter, de claring that 1t is all in the hands of the lawyers. The latter are conferrfng g on the matter and have not yet de- cided just what action they will take.
 It is generally accepted that an at
 tempt will be made to secure a cer-
 tificate of reasonable doubt from a
 justice of the Supreme court, and if this is successful an attempt will be
 made to have the Captain admitted to
 bail pending the final disposition of
 the appeal. This appeal will embody all of the exceptions taken and will al-
 SO deal with an alleged opinion enter tained by one of the jurors who pass ed on the case.

WALL STREET TO-DAY
(SDecial from

Special from United Press.)
 New York May 1.-The stock mar ket opened with moderate degree of activity and a steady tone but prices were irregular A number of issues shaded off a little at the start but a strong tone developed and at the end of the first fifteen minutes stock ruled generally higher. Union Pacific, af- ter yielding one-eighth, rose five eighths The majority of leading stocks followed. The Gould issues shared in the general improvement.
 At Il a. m., only moderate specu- lative interest was in evidence and the changes resulting from the first hours business were without much impor- tance. The room generally took the bear side and were all sellers of spec ulative stocks. London sold about 15,OOO shares, causing some fractional losses but the same steady accumula- ton whisch has been the predominant factor for some time, was again in ev- idence att the end of the first hour. General Electric moved up over two points.
 Government bonds unchanged; other bonds firm.
 Noon.-Room trading took a more confident stand on the bear side and sold stocks to a moderate extent, ,caus- ing some heaviness in the general list Sales of Rock Island helped along a quick downward movement ConsoI-

OFFICER LUSH FOR
 PERMANENT BEAT

Another permanent beat was laid out by the police commission Saturday night when they voted to assign Off, ficer Charles Lush to Washington Park and immediate vicinity. During the recent summers this park is the most popular breathing spot in East Bridge port due to the fact that it is easily accessible from the most densely popu- lated section of the East Side. Trees and grass have been destroyed by the crowds and all of the rules of the p7rk violated in one way or another. The location of an officer at the park has been needed for sometime past. Officer Lush is one of the oldest member of the patrol.
