Commutes Sentences of Four
Sugar Weighers.

Nearly 5000 Assistant Postmasters
Put Under Its Protection-Presi-
dent Departs for New York.

President Taft. just before leaving the
city this morning for New York, signed
combinations of sentences for four of
the men convicted of completely in the
sugar frauds in New York.
Henry L. StmSOn, the man who
brought about the convictions in the
sugar trust cases, and who is now the
republican nominee for Governor of New
York, is understood to have been pri-
marily responsible for securing the free
dom of the four men, who are Thomas
Kehoe Patrick ]. Hennessey, Edward A
Boyle and John r. Coil.
The four men were convicted last jan
uary. They were weighers for the sugar
trust, but were simply subordinates who
did not initiate any of the frauds. They
were sentenced to one year each In
Blackwells Island. The petition for par
don was laid before President Taft about
a month ago and he denied the applica-
ton. Mr.. Stimson took the matter up
with the Attorney General few days
ago and asked that further representa-
tiOns be made to the President. Mr.
Stimson stated that the four men had
given him valuable information. upen
which he secured the convictions Of Ger
bracht and Heike, officers of the sugar
trust. and the men higher up in the
plans by which the government was done
out of millions of dollars.
The sentences of the four men would
have expired November 0 next. taking
into account their good behavior allow
ances and their freedom is brought about
just a little over month before they
would have gotten out anyhow.
Mr.. Stimson formally recommended the
Communication of the sentences when the
original petition went before the Presi
dent, but he did not personally interest
himself until the petition had been denied.

pointment of William H. Northrup to be

in place of ]. f. Stilman, long republi

postmasters of the United States under
the protection of the civil service. There
are nearly 5000 of these men. The Presi-
