NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Four former

| weighing frauds. were sentenced TO
one years Imprisonment each by
Judge Martin in the United States
circuit court here today. The men
sentenced are Charles Kehoe, Edward
A. BOYLE, Patrick j. Hennessey and
John NJ. Coyle.
The four were checkers on the docks
of the sugar company in Williamsburg,
where it was discovered that the scales
used to weigh sugar imports had been
tampered with.
As a result the American Sugar Re-
fining company reimbursed the govern
ment to the extent of more than $1,000
900 for evaded duties and employees Of
the company were indicted for con-
spiraCy.
The jury convicted oliver Splitter,
the dock superintendent, and the four
men sentenced today There was dis

finery, one of the defendants
Splitter CoIlapses
Spitzer collapsed in court on Sat
urday when a motion for a new trial
for the men was argued, and it was
found that he would have to undergo
a slight operation for an internal dis
order.
For this reason Judge Martin today
did not pronounce sentence on him but
remanded him until February 1.
Before sentencing the men the court
denied motion for a new trial.
He took into consideration however,
the jurys recommendation for mercy
and said he would impose on each of
the four men a sentence of one year
in the Blackwell's island prison.
In sentencing the checkers, Judge
Martin intimated that he might have
shown greater leniency if the men had
appealed to the court for mercy and
in a spirit of penitence.'
However" said the court, such is
not their position. They challenged
the verdict; they deny their guilt"
Judge Martin denied a motion for
stay of execution.

UR~E SYNOD TO MAKE
SAINT OF LATE BISHOP
Commission Says Many Miracles Have
Been Wrought by Russian
PreIate

ST. PETERSBURG, Monday, Dec. 27.
A commission under the presidency
of Archbishop Pitirim of Kursk has
recommended to the holy synod the in
clusion of Bishop Joseph of Bielgoreed
in the already long list of saints of the
Russian church.
The bishop died in 1754. Belief in his
miracle working powers was strength
ened when his tomb was opened two
years after his death and the body
found uncorrupted. Since then thous-
ands of cases of alleged miraculous
cures are reported.
The committee founded its report on
227 specific instances of miracles, taken
from the detailed records of the church
and on the personal testimony of many
who claimed to have benefited from
pilgrimages to the shrine.
