fense.
The seven charges Of false pretenses
each involved the passing Of a worth
less check ON business men about the
city. Matthews was arrested by Po-
licemen Benham of the Ninth precinct

operations had been made.
Your honor, l have mania for pass
ing these checks every time I begin

explain what makes me take to thus
method Of getting money. and run the
risk Of serving long months in jail
Judge Aukam told the young prison
er that he was inclined to be lenient
with first offenders. but inasmuch as
he acknowledged that he had served
time for similar offenses before. he had
to give him a heavy sentence with the
hope that 1t would bring him to a
sense Of righteousness.

BRANDSF FEE
SYSTEM Of HUMANE
SOCIETY AS VICIOUS
P. J. Ryan Says Agents
Persecute Owners of
Horses.

Branding as absolutely vicious" the
fee system Of the Washington Humane
Society, which he declared rendered
Its agents loose Of tongue and prodigal
of conscience" when testifying against
horse owners In court, Attorney p. J.
Ryan, counsel for James II. Johnson
horse owner charged with cruelty.
scored the methods of the humane or
ganization in the Police Court today.
johnson was charged with working a
lame horse. The trial lasted for more
than two hours, at the conclusion OF
which the Jury brought in a verdict of
not guilty.
Horse owners in the District are the
subjects Of indescribable persecution
at the hands of these Humane Society
officers" declared Attorney Ryan to
the jury The Humane Society Is
maintained through the fines assessed
on horse owners in the Police Court.
Consequently the fewer cases made
against owners the less money In the
Golfers Of the organization.
The system Is In itself conducive to
persecution of owners Of horses. mules,
and other animals in the District. When
there Is money In view as the reward
the tongues OF these humane officers
are extra orc dnarily loose.
ION this account numerous attempts
have been made to place the superyi-
sion of horses and other animals under
the Police Department. Then the evil
now fragrant would be remedied. A
policeman gains nothing but the salts
faction that he has done his duty when
he takes a man into custody and con-
victs him for cruelty to an animal
ION the other hand. II any Of these
agents hear the court fine a man $40 or
500 for charges which they prefer II is
music to their ears. because they know
the money is going to make up the
fund from which their salaries are
paid
Attorney Ryan further declared that
an officer Of the Police Court had in
formed him from statistics that during
the past few weeks the Humane Society
agents had obtained about one convic'
tion out OF every ten cases they have
brought into the courts.

MITCHELL SENTENCE
IS AGAIN SET BACK
BYD|STR|CT JUDGE
Committee of Prosecutors
Objects to Form of Agree
ment to Waive Rights.

Owing to objections by the committee
of prosecutors to the form of the agree
ment of the respcsdent to waive his
rights in the matter, John Mitchell, vice
president of the American Federation of
Labor, recently adjudged in contempt
Of court, was not sentenced by Justice
Dan Thew Wright today.
The objection was based on the theory
that the agreement or statement had
the appearance of having been executed
in compliance with court order or
suggestion rather than being a request
from the labor leader.
Justice wright extended the date of
sentence indefinitely to give Mitchell
another opportunity to make re
quest" If he wishes Attorney siddons,
OF the firm Of Ralston. Siddons& Rich
ardson. informed the court that a form
OF agreement satisfactory to the COM
mittee of prosecutors had been mailed
to Mitchell, and that its return with
signature attached Is expected this
week.
The declaration offered to the court
today was as follows:
Il hereby authorize and empower the
firm of Ralston, Siddons & Richardson
to consent to the imposition of a SEN
cause with the same effect as IL I were
personally present In court to receive
the same. waiving as far as the re-
ception of such sentence is concerned
any right 1 might have to be present
at the time Of it's infiiction."
Attorney J. J. Darlington, chief OF the
committee of prosecutors, raised the
objection to the form of the waiver,
and his view was accepted by Justice
Wright. The statement was dated July
3, and was made at La Grande, Ohio.
1t Is expected that the sentence will
be passed within the next week.

Summing up for Harry X. Thaw, Clar-

ed the States alienists and William T.

Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton he char
acterized as a "faithIess alienists, who
had first taken Mrs. Thaw's money and
then betrayed her," and Of DR.. Austin
Flint he said his testimony, like his
alum baking powder Endorsements. are
for sale to the highest bidder" Mr..
Jerome he described as jerome, the
sensationalist, who has followed on the
trail of Thaw for six years like a hu-
man. hyena," and Gaping the climax
by referring to Thaw's noble mother

woman tottering to the grave"
Thaw. his mother. his brother Josiah,
his sister Alice, and Mr.. and Mrs.
George Carnegie were present in the
courtroom; Mr.. Jerome Listened in
tently to Mr.. Shearn's attack.
Mr.. Shearn asserted he had gone fur
ther than TO establish a prima facie of
sanity, FOR l not only called alienists,
but also lay witnesses Of the highest
character, trained observers of men,"
he said. Again this Mr.. Jerome pre-
sented a mass Of testimony, ten years

that Thaw must have had paranoia

M'CLUNG EvASNE
WHEN ASKED ABOUT
HIS RES|GNAT|O
Only Treasury Chief Missing
Among List of Letter
Writers.

Rumor that United States Treasurer
Lee McClung had resigned spread
around the Treasury Department today,
and both Mr.. Meetings. office and that
of the Secretary of the Treasury were
kept busy meeting inquiries.
Mr.. McClung told inquirers that he
had not resigned and did not contem-
plate resigning. Aside from this state
mcnt he clung tenaciously to the silence
which has characterized him ever since
Assistant Secretary A. Piatt Andrew re-
signed and cited a number of bureau
and division chiefs in support of his
charges against Secretary MacVeagh.
Asked If he had seen the Secretary
since his return to Washington, Mr..
McClung replied. smilngly:
We'll, now you are asking a leading
question"
The rumor OF resignation had its gen.
Grafton in the fact that last evening
Secretary MacVeagh gave out a num-
Der of letters received recently from
bureau chiefs and division heads sup
porting him and giving denial to Mr..
Andrew. Mr.. McClung and Comptroller
of the Currency l.. o. Murray were con-
spicuously absent from the number Of
letter writer's, among whom were two
former assistant secretaries, Charles
y. Hilles, now chairman of the Repub-
ican national committee, and Charles
n. Norton, former Assistant Secretary
and former secretary to the President.
:. Mr.. Murray today, however, said that
my relations with the Secretary have
always been most cordial and pleasant" "
When his attention was called to the
fact that he had net been one of the
letter writers, Mr.. Murray said:
II have not been asked for my views. -
Although Mr.. McChing now occupies a
lonely position among the bureau and
division heads in respect to not having
come out with denial of Mr.. Andrew s
charges, the belief prevails in the Treas
ury Department generally that matters
Will remain in statu quo and that the
Secretary of the Treasury will not go
cunning for him.
