RICE AND SCHEFTELS
OFFER PLEAS OF GUILTY
New York Brokers Admit Guilt After
Funds Are Exhausted.

New York, March Pleas of guilty
by George Graham Rice and Bernard
H. Scheftels, of the brokerage firm Of
B. H. Scheftels and company brought
to a dramatic close here today what
Is believed to be the longest trial on
record in United States court. With
their associates, Charles T. Belser,
Charles B. Stone land Ralph E. Water
man, they have been on trial for near
ly five months for alleged conspiracy
and the misuse Of the mails to promote
and sell mining stocks.
Rice was sentenced to one year in
jail, and his science is to begin Decem-
Der 29 last when he was put in the
Tombs after one Of the jurors had
been approached. With time off for
good behavior Rice will really spend
about six months and a half in Jail.
Scheftels got off with suspended SEN
tence and the other three defendants
went free, the indictments being
quashed.
1t was because his financial resources
and those Of his friends had been ex-
hausted by the length of the trial,
Rice said today that induced him to
enter his plea, and it was intimated
that the heavy expenses entailed by
the government also played a part in
bringing about today's sudden climax
for without Rice's plea the case, it is
said, might have dragged on five
months more. The trial began on
October %, 1911.

will continue to pay Is cents for the
trip. In a decision handed down by
the public utilities commission today,
relative to the petition of Herbert 0.
Bowers and fourteen others of Man
chester, requesting ten cent fare to
Hartford, the petition is denied. The
decision says:
In view of all the evidence present

consideration the added and increas-
ing cost of labor and material. the in
creasing demand for better service and
equipment, the increasing legislative
burdens imposed upon street railway
companies in the care, repair and
maintenance of highways and the sur
plus necessary to meet extraordinary
expenditures, we are of the opinion
that the rate of one and one half cents
per mile, or fifteen cent fare between
Hartford and Manchester, is not an un-
reasonable rate for services rendered
