great was the protecting force In the
railway station that any demonstration
by the suffragettes would have been i'm

NEW YORK POLICE
INSPECTORS GIVEN
MAXIMUM SENTENCE
Must Serve One Year in the
Penitentiary and Pay $500.
Display Stolid Calm
ness at the Bar

New York, May 9-Dennis Sweeney,
James II. Thompson, former police inspec-
tors, convicted of conspiring to obstruct
Justice. to check craft revelations involv-
ing them, were sentenced today to serve
one year in the penitentiary and pay a fine
of $500 each.
This is the maximum sentence.
Up to the moment the verdict was pro-
nounced the belief prevailed that one OF
the four would "squeal to the district at
torney on the man higher up
If any of them entertained such inten-
ton, he masked 1t under a stolid front
of calmness as he faced the bar.
Reports that one of the four was bar
gaining with Mr.. Whitman for a suspen-
sion of sentence and that the long sought
guiding genius of the system would be
brought to justice through a confession,
were still prevalent about the criminal
courts building after sentence had been
pronounced.
Not Yet Too Late
1t is not yet too late for one of the in
spectors to save himself by an eleventh
hour statement. No move of any kind
looking to an appeal was taken by any
of the four prisoners. All avenues of an
appeal is held by the district attorney in
the form of 10 indictments for bribery, a
felony recently returned against the quar-
tet. The crime for which the four inspec-
tors ,hghest uniformed officials in the
department" were convicted WIS brought
to light by the district attorney in his
crusade against graft in the police depart
ment begun after the murder of Herman
Rosenthal.

Industry C0erced

Speaking for myself" said Senator
Thomas, Il want to say here and now
that tactics of this sort will produce
any but desired results. / believe that
an industry which resorts to this line of
conduct that its employ may be coerced
should meet the result of having placed
on the free list every article that en-
ters into its line of business
II think it little less than brazen ef-
frontery" said Senator Smith IF Mlchi-
gan, answering MI Thomas, for the
senator from Colorado to make these
statements and to say that manufacturers
shall not be allowed to complain about
the burdens put upon them by this bill.
If you think by your threats you can
force silence on the part OF employers
of labor, you are making a mistake
Continuing Senator Smith declared that
what the country suffered 90 years ago
through the Wilson bill. it was about to
suffer again. He added that the demo-
cratic sugar schedule was a crime. that
ii would in three years give the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company a monopoly
and send the price of sugar up to what
1t was before the country had domestic
competition
While Senator Smith kept the floor SEN
ators Reed James, Smoot, Works. Thorn
as and Hitchcock entered into an argu-
ment that turned away from sugar to
the manufacture of furniture and then
back again to sugar
Senator James said he would prefer to
have the sugar monopoly" bought by
money from the treasury of the United
States than to give it permission to con-
tinue ITO rob the people
Senator Thomas got into an argument
again by stating that as Syrians Japan
ese, Chinese, Mexican poems and other
foreigners were employed in the western
beet fields and that the usual wage
paid was about % cents day. Senator
Smoot denied this.
Senator Hitchcock wanted to know why
the furniture manufacturers of Michigan
were afraid of the proposed tariff on
their products and Senator Smith replied
that they feared competition with furni-
ture built in Europe with cheaper labor.

Vigorous Appeal

Speaking on the Penrose amendment
Senator Smith of Michigan in n vigorous
appeal for consideration of the bill public
ly instead of in the darkness and gloom
of the committee room, assalled the tariff
bill. He declared it would result in a
repetition of dark days" that followed
the Wilson bill, that the sugar industry
would be ruined, that other industries
would suffer, and that already business
was falling off rapidly throughout the
country
Charging that free sugar in three years
would give the American Sugar Refin-
ing company and the federal Sugar Re
filming company an option which they
would foreclose on the property of the
beet sugar interests, their only domestic
rivals, Senator Smith declared the beet
sugar industry would be wiped out.
IF the American Sugar Refining COM
pany and the Federal Sugar Refining
company" said Senator smith, have
made an alliance with the democratic
party, it is an unholy alliance. Men who
would not shrk in committing crimes to
increase the volume of their business and
ere not responding to the will of the law
make very poor allies for any political
party"
Senator Thomas read to the Senate an
article from a Troy, n. Y, newspaper
In which an employe of the United States
Shirt company, declared that concern al
ready had threatened to reduce wages
and In other ways had attempted to
coerce it's workers to use their influence
against the Underwood bill.

Washington, May e-The first authentic
and public report of the federal gov
ernment's Investigation of the friedman
tuberculosis vaccine. made public here
today, declares the results of the public
health service observations so far do mot
justify that confidence in the remedy
which has been inspired by widespread

The National Association for the study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis, before
which the report was presented, immed-
lately and unanimously adopted resolu-
tions declaring its belief that mo specific
cure for tuberculosis has been discov-
cred that deserves the confidence of the
medical profession and the publio,n and
declaring it 10 be the duty of the public
to continue "all the present we'll tried
agencies"
Expresses Disappointment
Although couched in the diplomatic
terms of governmental scientific docu-
ment, the report on the Friedman cure"
expresses the disappointment of the pub
lie health service at the conditions inn
posed by Briedmann: and says his
declination to furnish complete inforfna-
ton concerning his vaccine was not sat
isfactory from scientific standpoint"
The public health service. however, there
upon sys, accepted his conditions be-
cause OF the great importance to thou
sands of sufferers and the hope that a
cure might be found.
The report was made by DR. Johns
Andersond director of the hygienic lab
oratory. and DIR. A. NJ. Stmson, another
public health service officer who were
designated by Surgeon General Blue to
make laboratory tests of the Friedman
vaccine and observe the 80 odd tuber-
culosis patients inoculated in New York.
The investigators pointed out that while
DR.. Friedman in his preliminary corre-
spendence offered to lay fun and inn
partial information before this govern-
ment, he declined to do so after coming

Mexico City, May 9. - President

States The official version of the
conference said that Huerta respect
fully stated that the American govern
ment is disposed to arrange the affairs
pending between 1t and the United

out, however that the American
ambassador must understand the
necessity the governor of Mexico has
for abstaining from treating any Of
ficial matter with the exception of
urgent affairs by the ordinary methods
OF procedure, for the simple reason
that while the United States govern
