SEE GETS PENITENTIARY
SENTENCE

Women in Court Sigh in Pity
When Judge says, "One to Five
Years Men Growl Approval.
Evelyn Arthur See, founder of
the cult of Absolute Life" and
convicted of contributing to the
delinquency of Mildred Bridges,
a minor, was today sentenced by
Judge Honore to from one to five
years in the penitentiary.
Sees attorney was given thirty
days in. which to make an appeal.
See has been out on bond,
which was Cancelled when he was
sentenced, and he will probably
remain in jail until the appeal is
carried to the higher courts.
The scene in Judge Honore's
courtroom was dramatic when
See arose to have sentence passed
upon him.
The room was crowded with
his disciples, mainly women. who
believed in his teachings and in
his innocence. in spite of the re-
voting practices of the cult ,testi-
fed to-. and the immoral atmos-
phere surrounding his girlish con-
verts.
There.were men.in the court al
so. Big, strong men; hardened
court attaches, injured to the
seamy and sordid side of life, who
were sickened by the story of
Sees associations with the inno-
cent followers of his teachings.
: When See was sentenced a sigh
of pity ran through his disciples.

A Step Toward
One Cent Postage.

Washington. March Cit is expected
that President Taft will soon announce
the personnel of the commission provid-
ed for by the post Office appropriation
law enacted saturday for the considera-
ton of the proposed increase in the rate
on second class postal matter. By the
terms Of the act the commission will be
required To report on the subject not
later than December next. While no def
mite conclusions as to the personnel of
the body yet have been reached, 1t is
suggested, because the act provides that
one of the members be a judicial officer Of
the United States. that Justice Charles
+. Hughes of the United States supreme
court may be the head of the commits
sion.
The plan of providing for a commission
was suggested by President Taft and he
himself drafted the amendment to the

s7.ooo,ooo is DUE
Viroinia from West Virginia Decides
the Supreme Court.

Washington, March 6.-Sitting in the
unusual capacity OF a board Of audi
tors. the supreme court of the United
States computed today that the state
al West Virginia is under obligations
t. pay over s. ono of the s33 3.ooo.hUN
debt OF virginia which existed when
the new state was formed 1t was the
biggest problem the supreme court has
had to handle i'll many years. The
I 1nls opinion announced by the court
vas in the Virginia debt ease. The
tribunal agreed ta review the legal
controversy growing out of the settle
ment OF the estate of the Rev. William
Ferry. former Indian missionary. who
died in Michigan in 1867, the possessor
Of large fortune.
Justice Holmes announced the opin-
ION. He said the court had regarded
he ration OF the valuation Of the real
and personal property of the tive
states at the time of their separation
as the proper basis for arriving al
West Erginia'.s Just and equitable
proportion of the debt. The court had
excluded from this valuation the value
of slaves.
This ratio, according to the ma ster :
report Justice Holmes said, was as
765 to .235.
The $33, 900, 600 debt would have been
divided according to this ratio. he said
had not Virginia by subsequent legis-
lation changed the amount to be APP
portiOned. The justice said Virginia
had induced its creditors to accept
S22 ,a00 900 as its share of the debt
whereas by the courts figures Viz
ginias share would be SIS. .o11.
The difference between these sums
namely s39000o0, should be suburactet
| from the So 600 coo debt. This left abou
| $ao.o00,c00 to be apportioned. West Vir
| sinia proportion of this would he ST.
| lS2.5l1 46 he said
Ever since the Civil War the common
| wealth Of Virginia has been endeavorin;
to collect from West Virginia what i
| claimed was the latter's share of the ole
| states debt. West Virginia was said Il
| have acknowledged her liability in th'
| Ordinance of Wheeling" before she wa
| admitted to the Union and in her state
| constitution
Finally. when the payment was no
| made Virginia brought suit in the su
| prclne court for about one-third of th'
state debt as of Jan. 1, 1861, estimated
then to be about $33,0O0.0oO The court ap
pointed Charles E. Littlcfield Of Maine

sentatives, to be special master to ascer
