POLICE CRAFT OFFICIALS GET
 FULL PENALTY Year in Penitentiary and $500 Fine for
 Big Four Report That One of inspectors Would "SqueaI" on Head
 of "The System"

New York May 9.-Dennis Sweeney, John J. Murtha, James E. Hussey and James F. Thompson, former police in spectors, convicted of conspiring to obstruct justice to check graft reveIa- tions involving them, were sentenced, today, to serve one year in the peni- tentiary and pay a fine of $500 each. This is the maximum sentence.
 Up to the very moment. that sen tence was pronounced the belief pre- vailed that one of the four would "squeaI'' to district attorney on the man "higher up. If any of them had entertained such intention he masked it under a stolid front as he! faced the bar. Reports that one zof the four was Bargaining with MT. Whitman for a suspension of sentence with information as to the head of the system as the consideration, were still prevalent about the crin3i- nal court building after sentence had been pronounced. hsza
 No move of any sort looking to an appeal was taken by any of the four prisoners today. An effectual club against appeal is held by the district attorney in the form Of 19 indict- mentss for brfbery-a felony-recently returned against the quartet.
 If the prisoners appeal I shall bring them to trial on the bribery charges" is the attitude taken by the district attorney. No assurance :s given that they will not be brought to book on these indictments anyhow. but each of the prisoners lawyers is understood to have obtained the i'm pression that the bribery charges will lie dormant in case there is no ap- peal.
 The case against these four inspec- tors grew out of the investigation of alleged police grating on vice, of. which one incident was the murder of tI1e gambler Herman R Rosenthal one lrElErring l 0 months ago. A Eeprge A. sipps resort Keeper, told Mir Whitman that he paid regular protectons money to collectors acting for Sween4p. When it came time for sipp to tesAfy before the grand Jury 1t was found that he had fled the state. He was later brought back to New York and testified that Sweeney and his three co-defendants had rais- ed a fund and hired him to remain out of the state.
 The. convicted men will be taken to BlackweH's Island this afternoon.

 OF UNITED STATES THERE

Mexico City, May s-President Vic toriano Huerta during his conference, yesterday, with Henry Lane Wilson, the American ambassador, stated clearly the position of Mexico in re- lation to the United States. The fol- lowing official version of what occur red during the conference was given to the Associated Press:
 .'Provisiona1 President Huerta re- spectfully stated to Ambassador Will son. that diplomat having referred to official matters, that the government of Mexico was disposed to arrange the affairs pending between it and the government of the United States It was pointed out, however, that for the time being the American ambassador should understand the necessity which the government of Mexico has for ab- staining from discussing any offiical matter with the exception of urgent affairs of ordinary procedure, for the simple reason that while the govern ment of the United States did not rec ognize the government of Mexico all a agreements would be ineffective in view of the fact that the governmen of Mexico has no responsibility before the zovernuent of the United States.
