Chicago, March 12.-Summary &C.
ton was taken by Judge K. NJ. Lands
Of the United States district court in
sentencing violators of the federal

sale of oleomargarine. He fixed the
punishment of Samuel Driesbach, who
pleaded guilty, at fine of $4,000 and
six years Imprisonment in the United

Kan.
To Daniel Bortz, who also pleaded
guilty, the court melted out an eighteen

On the order of the court Bortz was
Immediately taken to the prison and
preparations were made to take Dries.
bach and Broadwell to -Leavenworth

The quick execution of the sentence
was unexpected, as it had been init
mated by the presiding Judge that the

formation concerning the oleomarga.
rine business would not be sent to jail
until their confessions had been given
to the grand jury.

Washington. March 16.-Mediation5
under the Erdman act has been re-
quested in the controversy that has
arisen between the railway lines OPP
Grating west out Of Chicago and their
dremen and enginemen. The applica-
ton for mediation was made by the.
railroads. The request will be granted.
Immediately after Chairman Knapp
Of the interstate commerce commits
sion arrived at his Office represents
tives Of the railroad general managers
committee presented to him the appli.
eaten Of the railroad officials for me-
diation of the trouble. The applica-
ton was q formal statement of the
lines involved In the controversy and
was signed by w. G.. Nixon, chairman
e the general managers committee.
The request was for the mediation
Of the difficulty that had arisen on the
subjects of wages, hours Of labor and
conditions Of employment between the
forty-ssven roads involved and the
brotherhood of Locomotive Firemsn
and Enginemen.
It was requested in the application
that the mediators, Chairman Knapp
and DR.. Neill, commissioner of labor,
enter into communication with w. s.
Carter, president of the brotherhood,
With view to an amicable adjust
ment Of the trouble:
Ready and Willing te Assist.
Chairman Knapp assured the repre-.
eentatives of the general managers
that he and DR.: Neil weuld take up
the subject Immediately and il neces"
sary would go to Chicago in an effort
to adjust the controversy.
The application for mediation made
by the general managers committee
is comprehensive in scope. It includes
not merely the question of wages,
which is the crux of the dispute, but
also hours of labor and conditions Of
employment. In fact, it covers every
phase of the difficulty that has arisen
between the roads and their employees.
It 10 known that representatives of
the general managers committee have
been in Washington for several days
prepared and fully authorized to make
the application in the form 1t was
presented as soon as failure of the
negotiations at Chicago should be in
dicated.
It is expected here that the repre-
sentatives of the employees will CO.
operate with the railway officials in
the effort to adjust. the controversy.
rs the labor men have heretofore indi-
Gated willingness to submit the dis
pute to the mediation: of Chairman
Knapp and DR.. Neill.

FOUGHT FOR HER RIGHTS.

A colored woman, Francis Wyche,
who resides at Madison and Colfax
streets, had peculiar experience with
merchant on Fifteenth street re-
Gently Mrs. Wyche agreed with the
merchant TO buy and did buy ready
made dress skirt the price being 50.
She paid sl00 down and took re-
ceipt, leaving the dress TO be altered,
and to pay s4.0O balance in "a days,
when she received her monthly pay.
That was the contract. At the end OF
the "A days, Mrs. Wyche went TO the
merchant and offered him, at his
store, the $500 balance and asked for
the dress. She was told the dress
had been sold. whereupon she de-
manded her deposit, but was refused
the money, yet she was told she could
have a dollars worth OF goods Mrs.
Wyche laid her trouble before Law
yers Ross and Townsend. They de.
manded the deposit from the mer-
chant. who insulted the lawyers. A
suit was filed for slo0 and for the
value of the dress and the woman
won and got not only the dollar but
