HUFFMAN IS GIVEN
THREE YEARS IN PEN
STATE SENATOR SENTENCED TO
PRISON IN OHIO LEGISLATIVE
BRIBERY SCANDAL.
BUCKEYE SOLON WILL APPEAL
Declares He Is Innocent and That He
Has Spent Every Dollar He Pos
sessed in Fighting Charges
Against Him.

Columbus, O.-Senator Isaac E.
Huffman of Butler county was SEN
fenced by Judge Rathmell to three
years in the penitentiary for ac-
cepting bribe. The judge passed
sentence Immediately after overruling
Huffmans motion for new trial.
Huffman will appeal.
A stay of execution of 20 days was
granted.
In overruling the motion for a new
trial, Judge Rathmell made an eXhaus-
tive review of the case, denying the
defendants contention on all points.
Huffman, when asked what he had
to say before sentence was passed,
protested his innocence, and declared
he had served IL years in the legis-
lature without dishonorable act.
He declared that he cared more for
the good opinion of his wife and
mother, who, he said, believe in his
innocence, than he did for the opinion
of the entire public of Ohio.
Huffman said he had spent every
dollar he had in the world in fighting
the charges against him, and his wife
would have to go to work while he
was in the penitentiary. He was at
the recent Democratic state and ma
tional conventions.

-N-%-&-

Stockholm, Sweden.-The Olympic
games were completed here on July
10 with the United States once more
a winner. The total score of the
Americans was far ahead of the near
est rivals, Sweden, though the latter
made good gains on the final day,
scoring 10 points to for the Yam
KEGS. The United States victories
were confined to three events: The
decathlon, which was taken by James
Thorpe of the Carlisle Indian school,
who proved his superiority as an all
around performer; the 1000 meter
relay race, in which the American
team finished first, and the S0O-meter
swimming final, where the Yanks
were second.
King Gustave at o'clock in the aft
ernoon presented the prizes to the win
ners of gold, silver and bronze medals
won in the various competitions. The
scene was very brilliant one as the
thousand athletes from many different
nationalities gathered in front of the
stand.
All the winners of first, second and
third prizes marched into the stadium
and assembled, according to their re-
spective rank, before three handsome
stands erected on the greensward.
The athletes and gymnasts were in
uniform. The officers of the various
nations in full dress uniform, while
the women winners were variously at
tired. The king conferred upon win
ners of first position prizes CONSIST
ing of an oak wreath, gold medal
and challenge cup to each. Crown
Prince Adolph presented a silver
medal to each man who had finished
second while Prince Charles, a
brother of the king, handed bronze
medals to the third group.
The most striking spectacle of the
entire meeting perhaps was the pro-
cession of victors into the arena. The
Americans headed the parade. In the
front rank, silk-hatted, marched Col
Robert M. Thompson, president of the
New York A. G. The Americans wore
blue jackets, white trousers and straw
hats and presented very neat ap-
pearance.
King Gustave, in gray frock amid
absolute silence, mounted the main
rostrum behind which were the tables
loaded with trophies, wreaths and
medals for the victors.

Supreme Court.
Allen Andrew of Hamilton reported
as a delegate TO the recent meeting of
the Illinois State Bar association and
said that the matters most discussed
there We're the subjects of recall of
judges and judicial reform.
Louis II. Winch of Cleveland, now
chief justice of the circuit courts of
Ohio and recently nominated as
judge of the supreme court, reported
as delegate to the New York State
Bar association. He said that criti-
cism of the courts is due to the laws
delays and it's technicalities, and that
the lawyers were largely to blame for
both and should lead the reform; they
have representation in the legislature,
while the judges have not; the judges,
however, have the most intimate
knowledge nf the situation and should
not hesitate 10 cooperate with their
brethren at the bar in suggesting re-
medal legislation.
