sonment in the federal prison at
Leayenworth, Kan, to one year and
one day and to suspended sentences,
were imposed yesterday upon the
thirty-eight labor union officials
convicted in the dynamite conspir-
acy cases.
A dramatic struggle by the wives
OF the prisoners to reach their hus-
bands attended the sentences. 1t
was ordered that all the spectators
should be cleared from the room and
prisoners be allowed to talk with
members of their families.
Some of the men made pleas for
mercy; others wept in. the arms Of
their wives, but the court pronounc-
ed the sentences one by one regard
less of the pleas.
Six men were given their liberty
through suspended sentences. They
included Edward Clark of Cincin-

THINKS CATS LIVES
ARE UNDER GROUND
Incidentally the Lives of Several
Chickens Also Have Gone Out
Cairn Marks Burial Spot.

This is a story of whole bunch of
lives, lives that We're once, but are no
more. At least there j. one Brattle-
boro man who hopes some of them are
down and out for good. This partic-
ular man had a eat one with nine
lives. He liked the-animal. He also
had a number of fine chickens and he
was fond of them, too. Incidentally
they had cost him a good sum. One
night he returned home and went out
to count his chickens-after the were
Matched, it is to be understood-and
four of them We're gone. The cat ap-
peared snugly cOntented with his lot
and a suspicion that brOOded i'll for
few of that eat : lives grew apace
in the man 5 heaving breast.
The next night seven more chickens
were missing and the cat sat under
the piazza, where he was safe from
reaching arms, and licked his chops
and washed his face Suspicion changed
instantly to conviction and then the
man hurried around the neighborhood
and borrowed a revolver warranted to
be accurate in its shooting. He kneit
down, placed the revolver through the
/ lattice work, took careful aim and
/ fired. The cat was missing when the
smoke cleared away.
/ Later the cat walked into the house
as unconcerned as if he had not lost
one of his lives. The man grabbed him
and went out to an adjacent sandbank
/ knelt down, held the eat by the neck
( placed the muzzle of the revolver
against pussy : devoted head and fired
When he next saw the cat the ANNA
was seated on the top of the sandbanh
relectivelv scratching one ear.
Again the eat came home and tn,
man seized him. He went outside mi
house and with a club succeeded il
hitting the cat ON the head and anothe
life or TWO went out. Then still hol
ding the eat that still had vet a few
more lives, he yelled Tor a shovel. HI
dug a deep hole i'm the sand, put tn
cat in it, covered the body over
banged the sand down hard and bull
a cairn upon it. He goes home nov
and peers around expecting to see
cat life or two waiting TO meet him
The remaining chickens are doing well

While the New York Evening Post
rejoices that the Minnesota decision
proves that states can regulate rail
roads outside as we'll as inside their
borders, the Chicago Tribune more
wisely says: 1.-The genius of American
business has made the domain of bus
ines national. Modern transportation
is no more a local consideration than
the modern locomotive is a stage coach
The interrelations of rates are inter
state, and the health of the whole con
stitution of our modern transportation
can no more be conserved by the I'M
related exactions or regulations of
4S independent jurisdictions than can
the health of the human body be
served by irregularities of temperat-
ture, of habit, of living conditions. The
purpose of regulation is to enforce eff
cheney in the public servant. American
transportation cannot be efficient I'M
der present conditions. We canriot
hope for proper conditions until the
national government assumes its prop
err powers and responsibilities in this
feld'

Babies weep. and mothers cry,
Famine fingers at the door. ~:
Children toll in roaring mills,

Doing work that stunts and kills
"All is well, the Tories cry.
Women take the wage of shame,
Driven by the scourge of want;
Still the slogan is the same, .,---- '-

Yet men murmur, All is Well!'
