Simmons Will
BESENTENCED
ONSATURDAY

After nearly five hours deliberatiOn
the jury in Circuit Judge Cooper's
court returned a verdict late yeaer-
day afternoon acquitting James Fred
erick Field and finding George Rufus
Simmons guilty of second degree man
slaughter. The former was released
from custody at once.
Both defendants had been held in
Jail since early last July, accused OF
first degree murder for the Staying OF
Santos Morales, Porto Rican, at
Fields house at fWahiawa on the
night of June go Simmons was ac-
cused of doing the shooting and Field
of giving Simmons the gun with which
the act was committed. The latter
will receive a sentence Of five to 10
years In Oahu prison. Both are col
ored men. Simmons, a! member of the
9th infantry, stationed at schofield
Barracks. ~
The jury, returned y the courtroom.
about 8 O'Clock Yesterday afternoon
with a request for information as to
the penalties prescribed by law for
the various offenses, Z ranging from
first degree murder down to third de-
gree manslaughter The court declined
to give them the information, how
ever, declaring that the matter OF the
sentence was the courts prerogative,
not that of the jury, the latter having
only to decide the seriousness Of the
crime. The iury's~ action in making
the request was taken at once as an
intimation that Field was to be ac-
Quilted and that it was only a ques-
tion Of how many years. Simmons
should receive Such, it is now un-
derstood, was the fact.
The trial occupied eight days time.
AS soon as he was discharged Field
lost no time in grabbing his hat and
getting out of the building, accompa-
MED by his white wife.
Simmons is to be sentenced by
Judge Cooper at 9 o'clock next Satur-
day morning.

Washington, July s.-Faul War

considered his request that President
Wilson withdraw his nomination as a
member Of the federal reserve board,
on the condition that he will not con
sent to appear before the senate

ined.
After the receipt of a telegram from
Warburg. it is said by officials, close
to the president, that an active fight
will be made for confirmation.
It was declared that should the
banking committee fail to report the
nomination faVorably, President Will
TO- expects the senate, as a whole. to
act.
Warburg's telegram to the presi-
dent was, not given out, but after its
receipt officials at the White House
said the name would not be with
drawn.
That followed a visit Of Senators
Thomas and Shafroth, Of Colorado to
the White House. They are under
stood to have told the president that
only a few democrats would oppose
Warburg's confirmation.
The situation as to the nomination
of Thomas L. Jones Of Chicago, re-
manned unchanged. It is said at the

ton.

KRAFCHENKO DECLARES
There IS NOTHING TO
LIFE OF THE UNDERWORLD

In his public statement 70 the

Now, my Inst SvoftiS Is thSi
public shall be this. that there is
no peace or happiness In In nm
derground life. Nc matter how
big Or small the proceedings are,
there Is nothing 1t in. It will
come back to you sooner or later.
1t is just like a masee shot in a

there and tried it. 90 I know what
I am talking about. 1 made a lot
of money in my time and I can
not show a cent for all the work
I done in all my fifteen years Of
crooked life. And, again, nothing
In It, I would advise all the boys
that have any inclination to that
kind Of life to throw it up, the
quicker the better. I know what
it Is like. I had more experience
than most Of the boys in that class
OF life. I run my line to the end,
and found 1t rotten at the end, but
1t was rotten at the start. only I
did not see 1t. So I can only say
that there is nothing In it."

Washington, JdIa s-Despite the
wheat crop estinheed this year at
e32,0o0,oo0. which, Is the largest on
record, no hope Is held out by the de-
partment of agriculture for greatly re-
duced prices.
Such a large crop would augur very
low prices, according to a statement,
were it not that the world crops Of
wheat and competing grains, do not
promise o than an average Of re-
cent years.
Besides. more, than the usual d.
version Of wheat from its use as food
for live stock, may be expected be-
cause of the present relative short
supply Of corn in sections where there
is q promise Of abundant wheat.
With corn selling in Kansas for
about seven cents more per bushel
than wheat, it is not surprising, Off
Gals say, that much wheat should be
consumed as feed by animals.
The Kansas corn crop last year was
only 100000 900 bushels, compared
with the usual production Of $780,
000, 900 bushels.
