8 TO I6 YEARS IS
SENTENCE FOR HAMS
Captain Convicted of killing w. e.
Annis Gets Indeterminate
Term in Prison.
JUDGE DENIES A NEW TRIAL
Defendant Seems Overcome by
Courts Words and Father and
Brother Deeply Affected.

Can't. Peter C. Hams. Jr.. U. S. A,
convicted of manslaughter in the first
degree for killing William E. Annis
at the Bayside Yacht Club last Au-
gust, was sentenced Monday by Justice
Garretson in the Supreme Court IN
Flushing l.. L., to an indetermlnate
sentence of not less than eight years,
nor more than sixteen years, a hard
labor in States prison.
John F. Mcintyre, counsel for the de-
PENDANT. made the usual motion for
new trial on the ground that the YER
dict 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 jurisdiction
of the federal government and there
fore the case was not properly before
the court. Mr. Mcintyre also stated
that DR.. Brush, who had been an ex
pert witness for the defense, had ex
amined Capt Hams since he was con-
victed and found him insane. Justice
Garretson said there was no evidence
to that effect before the court and he
declined to consider the motion in re-
gard to jurisdiction.
The court clerk then instructed Capt
Hams to come to the bar and proceed
ed to ask him the formal questions put
to man about to be sentenced. The
prisoner seemed dazed and seemed to
have some difficulty in understanding
the questions. Lawyers Mcintyre and
Young of the defense stood on either
side of Capt Hams and assisted him
in answering the questions of the court
clerk
Referring to the nature of the case
the court said that Capt. Hams had
been indicted for murder in the first
degree, the severest crime against So
ciety, and, although there had been a
great deal of sympathy injected into
the case, the law did not allow a man
to punish another for wrong he had
suffered or to wreak vengeance on the
man who had wronged him.
After Justice Garretson had imposed
the sentence Capt. Hams sat down and
dropped his head on the table before
him. He seemed overcome with emo
ton for few moments, but soon re-
covered himself and sat upright, star
ing at the court. Gen. Hams, the de-
PENDANTS father, and Maj. John Pow
ers Hams. who were in court, display
ed much emotion Immediately after
sentence the prisoners lawyers asked
for stay of sentence for a few days
to take an appeal. Justice Garretscn
said the case would take the usual
course, and gave the defense twenty

Police Finally Is Killed.

Robber Chief Who Long Joked with
Police Finally Is Killed.
The noted robber chieftain, Savitz-
ky, the Robin Hood" of the Russian
revolution, has been killed by mem
bers of the rural guard. With three
members of his band Savitzky was
surrounded by the guard in village
near Mohlev, and after a fight that
lasted for four hours all four were
killed. One member of the guard lost
his life in the encounter. Savitzky,
who was a high schol student when
he took to brigandage, had been the
terror of the police Of the provinces
of Tchernigov and Mohiley for sew
eral years, but he was source of
amusement to the rest of Russia on
account of his daredevil exploits. He
delighted in playing fantastic tricks
on the police. Once. on a wager, dis
guised as priest, he visited the gov
ernor of this province and various
other officials. 1t was his custom TO
rob only the rich, and he distributed
his spoils among the peasantry with
a lavish hand. He finally was be-
trayed by member of his band.

Irregularity still characterizes the
trade, crop and industrial situation.
In industrial lines the consensus of
reports is that further improvement
has been registered, especially in the
iron and steel, coal, coke, wooden man.
ufacturing and leather trades. Build
ing is active and lines of trade cater
ing to this industry are feeling bene-
fetal effects.
1t is a between-season period in
wholesale and jobbing distributive
trade; orders from retailers are mere
ly of a fillingin character and hardly
equal to expectations. The tone of
opinion as to the outlook for fall
trade is as a whole rather more opti-
mistic, but the evidences of repres
sion in trade, whether due to tariff and
crop uncertainty, reduced purchasing
power of the public or high prices for
foodstuffs, are too evident to be ig-
| nored.

Wednesday by a premature blast of
dynamite in stone quarry operated
by the Callahan Road Improvement
Company near South Bethlehem, elev-
en- miles southwest of Albany, N. Y.
Twelve Italian workmen are among
the victims. One thousand pounds of
dynamite exploded, and the bodies of
the victims were hurled hundreds of
feet by the conclusion and so badly
mutilated as to be almost beyond rec
ognition. AS darkness was falling a
wagon drew up to the engine house
loaded with bodies that had been pick
ed up back on the quarry hill. A
crowd of grief-stricken relatives gath
cred around eager to identify the
dead, only to turn away at the sick
ening sight. Italians with shovels
found here and there portions of bod
les and brought their grewsome loads
in boxes to the engine house, which
served as temporary morgue.

killed at least five persons, injured fif-
ty-five, devastated one town, wrecked
a train, and did great damage to prop

of the damage being done on farms,
its full extent could not be learned at
once. Many conflicting reports have
been received, One said ten were kill

two and injured twenty. All wires are
down in that vicinity and it is feared
that the death list may be greater.
William Ackerly, Santa Fe engineer,
was killed while working with a
bridge gang between Great Bend and
Kinsley. Frank Nicholson, conduc-
tor, was killed. The tornado wrecked
the work train of which Ackerly was
engineer and blew it into ditch. Sew

crushing Ackerly to death in his cab,
where he had remained, with his hand
