Poultry Trust
Men Convicted
Sent 10 Jail
Long Trial of Accs,sed For Con-
spring to Injure Trade and
Commerce Under New York
State Anti-MOnOpoIy Law

New York, Aug. 6-Penitentiary
sentences Of three months each and
fines of $50 each were imposed, this
afternoon, by Judge Rosalky, on Ii
memebers of the Live Poultry Aesocia-
ton, convicted under the state law of
consipring in restraint of trade. The
court in imposing sentence. said that
the time had gone by when fines act
ed as deterianfS upon men who COM
bined to control the markets and
force UP the price of food products.
The conviction Of the Is poultry
dealers followed one of the most Bit
ter legal contests in the history of
the city. Originally. 80 persons were
accused and the indictments against
them were the first ever returned
against persons distinguished from
corporations under the state anti
monopoly law. The men were accus-
ed of conspiring to. injure trade and
commerce, which is a misdemeanor
punishable by $500 fine, a years inn
prisonment or both.
After going over the evidence, the
state decided that 19 men were guilty
of controlling So percent of the poul-
try business of the state and Is OF
the 19 were placed on trial The 9TH
er defendant is still to be tried, as
he is sick. The case against another
was dropped and four were acquitted.
1t was shown at the trial that the
commission men pooled their commits
sions and the jobbers, who bought
from the. commission men, pooled
their profits and that the two pools
were merged. 1t was shown that by
means of these joint pools, the com
mission men and jobbers controlled
every wholesale and retail poultry
dealer of any consequence in this
state. The minutes of their meetings
showed that they had gone into the
retail business in many places to drive
out ambitious retailers who refused
to pay tribute to them. Each week
the prices were arbitrarily fixed and
shippers were told Just what to do.

YOUNG WOMAN rs
MAKING GOOD AS
DEPUTY SHERIFF

The only young woman In the south
occupying the position of deputy sher-
iff so far as is known is Miss Ger
trude Hendricks of Admission, Ala,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j.. Davis
Hendricks.
She belongs to a wealthy family and
enjoys high social standing in her
native town. When sitting at her
desk with the handouts and her
trusted revolver within reach, she pre-
blonde with wealth, of sunny hair
and musical southern voice.
Miss Hendricks says she is not a
suffragette, but just plain, home-
loving young woman. She can appear
as demure as sweet girl graduate
and the next moment look a man
through and through, and give orders
like an old stager in the enforcement
of the law.
1t was this characteristic that in
duced Sheriff Brooks of Calhoun
county to appoint her.
One reason she was appointed a
deputy sheriff and placed in charge OF
the office was that there is always
about carload of contraband whis-
key, beer and wine held awaiting or
ders from the courts in the dDunty,
which is under prohibition, and Sher-
iff Brooks wanted woman who
could guard this without the temp
tation to which his force of men have
been subjected and some of whom
have time and again yielded.
She has entire charge of the office
while the men are kept on outside
duty.
Miss Hendricks carries revolver
in her chatelaine or slipper bag. She
promises to spring some surprises,
which has put the 400" of Admission
on the anxious bench. since it has
leaked out that she is studying the
niceties Of the statutes in their appli-
cation to bridge parties and to spik-
ed punch at afternoon teas.
She will also visit the theatre and
picture shows in the capacity of cen,
sor to suppress things when they got
too broad and she says she will see
that proper limits are strictly OBJ
served by both and especially in cho-

Boston, Dec. 26.-With the coming trial of Rev. Clarence V. T. Richeson, charged with the murder of his former sweetheart, Miss Avis Linnell, less than two weeks away, public interest in the case was increased considerably by todays developments.
 One of these developments was the appearance of Rev. George E. Horr, D. D., president of the Newton Theo- clergy man prepared for the pulpit, at the office of District Attorney Joseph C. PeIletier.

Horr as to his knowledge regarding the enga cement of Richeson to Miss Linnel1.
