COURT REFUSES FURTHER
FEES IN BENDER CASE

In a decision handed down by Judge
Hally, Friday morning. Attorneys Will
liam Look and Charles Flowers are
denied further fees from the estate OF
August Bender. This case has been
in the courts for about ten years, and
It is alleged that attorneys fees and
law costs have eaten up about all the
cash the estate ever received.
Bender committed suicide several
years ago. after having insured his
life for $4,000. One policy OF $4,000
was paid. but payment was refused on
the balance. the companies denying
liability because the assured had TAX
en- his own life. Suit was started, and
this has dragged through the different
courts for almost a decade. Attorney
Look recently put In claim for ST.
500 and Mr.. Flowers for $3.50, but both
these claims were disallowed by
Judge Hally, in addition to a claim
for $3.50 fled by A. w. Blaine, the
executor.
1T Is true the attorneys did an I'M
mense amount of work." Judge Hally
SAYS. and as a matter OF mere work
would undoubtedly be entitled TO the
compensation demanded by them. but
the court cannot permit the whole OF
en- estate to be dissipated In attorneys
fees. Considering the estate and the
number OF attorneys employed the
fees already allowed are sufficient"

while the liquor interests have some
staunch friends in the council, it Is
believed that the public sentiment
that is developing against the pro

of the Y. w. c. a., will be SO strous
that the aldermen will not dare deny
the Y. W. c. A. officials ana their
sympathizers the courtesy OF re-
hearing.
1t is considered possible that Mr.
Cottington will relieve his friends in
the council from embarrassment by
offering TO withdraw his application

that he has already been to eonsid-

are bringing all the influence at their

The account at the company store

At the end of the year, there is q
debt. which is met by an appeal to q
loan shark.
To meet the added demand OF ia

can never hope for anything more for
himself, but he can at least plan and

fact that every family studied was
obliged either to employ a doctor or
buy medicines. The people prescribe
for their own ills, and are burdened
with patent medicines and cure-alis.
From their incomes the mill work
ers pay surprisingly large sums to
burial associations, being willing TO
the greatest sacrifices In
food and clothing to save themselves
the disgrace of burial in the potters
field. Almost every family was able

.CHAUNCEY HAMMOND GETS
FIVE YEARS IN JACKSON
FOR STEALING AUTOMOBILE
"You Tempted Fate Too Often
and Luck Has Deserted
You," Says Court
OTHERS ARE SENTENCED
Former Estimator Long, Saliva
tore Dana and Felice Rinaldo
Go To Workhouse

Judge VIM. F. Connolly sentenced
the following quartet. Friday after
noon: Chauncey Hammond, con-
victed of stealing DR.. Thomas Brady's
automobile. valued at $1,000; Sam
uel II. Long, former estimator OF the
Tenth ward, convicted of abusing a
little girl; Salvatore Dana, convicted
OF carrying concealed weapons, and
Felice Rinaldo, convicted of abduct-
ing a little girl, Rosa Strickstein.
Hammond was given from two and
one-haif TO five years in Jackson
prison, with the recommendation that
he serve five years. He said he had
nothing to say why sentence should
not be passed on him, except that his
attorney was making preparations to
ask for new trial In sentencing
him, Judge Connolly drew Ham
mond's attention 10 the fact that he
had been arrested on the charge of
stealing $4,000 belonging to the E.
M-F Co.; also that he had since been
convicted In the Canadian northwest
on the charge OF receiving stolen
property.
"You were acquitted on the charge
of stealing that $4,000 which so
mysteriousiy disappeared, said the
court, "and that should have been a
lesson to you. But you tempted fate
once too often and your luck seems
to have deserted you. There rs only
one thing for the court TO do with a
man who Is menace to society, and
that is to put him away where he will
do no harm"
The court then pronounced SEN
tence. Chauncey took his dose"
