COLEMAN STARTS
SERVING Term
Deputy State Treasurer Gets
Two and One Half Years
ADMITS THEFT OF $4,000 FROM
STATE TREASURY.
Wants to Pay Penalty and Pre-
pare to Make New Start in
Life.

Changing his plea of not guilty to
one OF guilty, Fred M. Coleman, for
mer deputy state treasurer, was SEN
fenced Saturday to term of from
two and one-half to 10 years in the
state penitentiary at hard labor He
Immediately commenced serving his
sentence. The charge was embezzle-
ment of twenty-five thousand dollars
from the state treasury.
Though The Statesman had an
nounced two days previously that
Coleman would plead guilty, since his
trial had been set for December 28
few people had expected any develop
menta before that date, and there were
few in the court room when, at 1880
o'clock in the afternoon, Coleman,
with A. A. Fraser, his counsel, put in
an appearance.
AS soon as Judge Davis was seated
on the bench, Mr.. Fraser announced
that Coleman wished to change his
the court asked him if he wished to
change his plea to guilty.
"Yes, SIR" was the answer.
Judge Davis then turned to Deputy
Prosecutor Barnes, who represented
Lue StdJe, duu dSkcu ii Lnc county at
torney's office wished to make any
recommendations Mr. Barnes replied
that the county attorney was inclined
to take into consideration the fact that
Coleman had returned to the state
voluntarily and by pleading guilty was
saving the state considerable expense
of prosecution
He recommended, therefore, that
leniency be shown, but on the other
hand he did not believe the sentence
Fshould be the absolute minimum pro-
vided by the law
Mr.. Fraser spoke briefly along
about the same line, also pointing out
that had he desired to escape, Coleman
might have taken considerable sum
OF state money and gone to South Am
erica, thereby causing the state no END
of trouble in bringing him back fol
trial
Judge Davis then imposed sentence
He explained at length the meaning
and purpose of the indeterminate SEN
tence law, which in the case of Cole
man provides a term of from one to
10 years.-Statesman

change Rises.

Business in stocks yesterday was ON a
contracted scale and tho restriction of
trading seemed still to he n more sgnif-
cant feature OF the market than the price
movement. Prices. indeed, were little
changed at the close although they aver
aged a slight decline. There were few
distinctly weak spots, but the general
market seemed not to be influenced by
them except as they contributed to the
reasons for relative inactivity.
There was a contradictory budget of
news. but the course of quoted values was
preston OF underlying firmness derived
from the persistent lack Of selling pres
sure and the manifestations recently fur
ulshed OF an extraordinarily strong TECH
meal position. In other respects IL could
be regarded as a market that was waiting
hopefully for the decision In the Eastern
railroad rate case and not inclined t. re-
spond In any pronounced fashion I'm the
meantime to other considerations or events
unless they should be strikingly unfayor-
able, although adverse matters might sup
ply reasons for curtailing operations in
securities.
Consolidated Gas continued the decline
which set in on the announcement of new
financing a week ago. There was further
liquidation of Western Maryland, with a
somewhat unsettling decline in the general
mortgage 4 per cent. bonds, which are now
down about points in week. The cir
cumstances Of the Western Maryland do
not seem to have improved materially
since the recent financial readiustment,
but no new facts have been supplied to
account for the collapse in its securi-
ties
Missouri Pacific was rather heavily
sold again and the collateral trust

heavy. but vendors of the stock found a
pretty good market at "A moderate recess

chances for an agreement between the
management and the bankers seemed To
he. the door to negotiations had not been
altogether closed. parleyinG still went
on between the controlling interests in
the property and the financiers who have
offered to engage In the solution of the
Missouri Pacific problem on terms neces-
sarily drastic.
The Mellcn testimony In the New
Haven inquiry was subject OF wide dis
cussion. and Wall Street recognizes the
proceedings as detrimental to the spread
of financial optimism. II also recognizes
that the complete New Haven story Is not
being told and cannot he told In such
an investigation as that being conducted.
This is not however, the stage for any
attempt TO estimate the significance or
the New Haven narrative.
There was some depression in the for
eign security markets. but business was
not active. Reports OF continued inquiry
