Three Election Crooks Jailed.

Jail sentences, with the addition of
fines in each case, were imposed upon
three election officials convicted of
making fraudulent returns at the pri-
maries in Baltimore, Md, in August of
last year.
John Wagner was sentenced to two
years and six months and fined $500.
Albert A. Cochran, two years and
$500 fine.
Reuben D. Smith, one year and $500
All three were election judges.
In imposing sentence Judge Elliott
censured the prisoners for the crime
they had committed against the vot
ers, and denounced the jury before
whom they had been tried for not
finding them guilty of wilful neglect
and connivance, which would have
permitted him to send them to the
penitentiary for long periods.
Some 25O other election officials
Republicans and Democrats, are un

with making false returns of the re
suits of the primary.

Mr.. Roosevelt Will Write COMMITTEES

About Oil Trusts Contribution.

a Letter Em5odying His Statement
About Oil Trusts Contribution.
Colonel Roosevelt will not have an
opportunity to answer John D. Arch
bOld's statements before the senate
committee investigating 1904 campaign
expenditures and contributions by the
Standard Oil company until late in
September.
Senator Clapp, chairman of the sub
committee before which Mr.. Archbold
told his story of having contributed
100000 to the Roosevelt fund in 1904,
telegraphed Colonel Roosevelt that the
committee would not be able to hear
him as soon as the colonel desired.
Senator Clapp received a telegram
from Senator Dillingham;, of Vermont,
chairma nOf the committee on privi-
leges and elections, announcing that
Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, would be
appointed to take the place of Senator
Luke Lea, of Tennessee, VIII chad re-
signed Senator POmerene is now in
Ohio, and Senator Clapp said it ap-
peared impossible to bring the sub
committee of five together before the
end of September.
Following the receipt of Colonel
Roosevelt's telegram, Senator Clapp
made efforts to arrange for a commit
tee meeting. Senator Lea insisted on
resigning at once, however, the illness
of his wife and child making it impera
tive that he should leave Washington
Senators Oliver and Pomerene already
had left Washington. Senator Jones
left for the Pacific coast
The committee undoubtedly will pro
ceed late in September with it's in
vestigation.
Having failed to get hearing before
the senate committee investigating cam
paign contributions because of the in
ability of the committee to get to
gether, Colonel Roosevelt plans t.
write the committee a letter, embody
ing some of the things to which h
would have testified.
Mr.. Roosevelt so declared in a state
ment, in which he also took the CON
mittee to task for permitting John
Archbold to sail for Europe withou
telling more about the $4,000 he cor
tributed to the Republican campaig
in Pennsylvania in 1904.
Also, he added. the senate need nc
bother about comforting additions
powers on the committee if they wan
ed to find out about his primary can
paign, his relations with George v
! Perkins and William Finn, the Pitt!
burgh leader. or any other subject
connected with his primary campaign
or for that matter, anything that b
had ever done as president.
Details of his primary campaigl
however, would have been brought OF
by questioning him, Colonel Rooseve
feels, and inasmuch as he will not
questioned. he plans at present to co
fine himself chiefly in his letter to r
futing the testimony of John D. Arc
bold, in which Mr.. Arehbold said
was assured that Colonel Rooseve
knew of and appreciated a contrib
ton Of 100000 which Archbold tes
fed he made in 1904 to the Republics
campaign.

That,.SNe,D" Street
Cn on Maiden Trip

West Main street passengers Thurs
day evening felt In their pockets for
parlor cal 3are when the conductor
came around.
They stopped on the threshold OF
the car as they entered and drew long
breaths of astonished delight. They sat
gingerly down on the slories of fresh
tapestry upholstered seats, and timid-
ly stretched their legs out into the
roomy aisle between.
About them We're fresh paint and
quartersawed white oak, rub finished
to 'fareyouwell." The conductor came
in wearing brass buttons and smile.
He rang up the cheerful nickels on a
register set at the end of the car and.
as he pulled the cord, bell responded
in clear sweet tenor. and pointer
moved around the shining disk.
The car shone in that cleanliness
which is reputed next to piety. Beneath
the upholstered seats shone the dull
effulgence of the gilt paint adjoining
electric heaters. Ali it lacked of being
a function was a few flowers and an
orchestra. For Number Umpty imp. in

Perhaps 1t was prophetic.
Still there was d sense OF lonesome
ness. 1t was so different. There was no
scent of scorching gowns and over
coats from the rusty red hot stove so
long q feature of travel on West Main.
Tho it had rained in the morning
no man rose rapidly and with profani
ty as he sat down, for there were no
accumulated pudGles on the seats or
soaked seat coverin gs. There was not a
raised umbrella in the car Wonder Of
wonders-no stencil of cigaret smoke
leaked in from the platform. 1t was
lonesome in its way but a good lone
someness.
1t was like wedding. There may
come disa greeabie incidents later, but
while it lasted it was perfect. that first
