STlLWELL SENTENCE LEGAL
Conviction of Elk Senator for

The conviction OF former Senator
Stephen ]. Stnwell. OF The Bronx. on a
charge of bribery. for which he is now
serving a sentence Of not less than four
years, was upheld by the Appellate d.
vision yesterday.
stilwell appealed on the ground that he
did not have a fair trial, that prejudlcial
evidence was admitted wrongfully and
that evidence IN his favor was excluded.
The charge against the former Senator
was that he demanded 5000 from the
president of the New York Bank Note
Company TO report bin out OF the Com
mittee on Codes, of which he was a
member.
''Ths objections are too numerous to be
considered at length" said Justice Nc

NO PAY BOOST FOR

Democratic Senators Kill Salary
Increases for Vice-President
and Speaker.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau.1

washington, June n.-Democratic Sem
ators did not hesitate which way to turn
to-day when they were confronted with
the dilemma OF increasing the salaries of
the Vice-President and Speaker of the
House 5000 year, in lieu OF the usual
appropriation of $500 for automobiles.
The amendment was offered to the Leg
islative appropriation bill by Senator Nc
Cumber, who exclaimed: IT want to get
back to the days OF Jeffersonian sim
plicity, by paying salaries and not emolu-
ments. The Vice-President ought to have
this increase in salary. Let US pay it, in
stead Of buying him an automobile"

'1f we adopt it, the provision for automo-

Senators Townsend and McCumber

be left in the bill and the proposal 10
increase the salaries added, so that one
or the other could be approved I'm con-

approval of the Democrats.

WALL ST. LOOKS FOR
RATE DECISION DAILY
Much Misrepresentation Exists Re.
garding Demands ofsRail-
roads, II Is Said.

Wall Street believes that the decision
Of the Interstate Commerce Commission
on the application OF the lfty-two East
ern railroads for a rate increase Is i'm
minent. Some reports that have reached
the financial district from Washington
say that the commission will make known
it's findings to-day after the close Of the
stock market, While other rumors were
that no announcement would be made
until late on Monday.
Whenever the decision is announced
It's Importance will transcend anything
that has taken place In the business
world for some time. The Supreme
Courts decision In the Shreveport case,
even though 1t will be farreachlns In its
effect, has been minimized to some extent
by the coming freight rate ruling.
Much Of the business depression. which
President Wilson has characterized as
psychological, has been due 70 the hold
ing back by the railroads In making their
seasonal equipment and rail purchases
until they knew whether they would be
allowed higher rates. In the event the
increase is granted IL Is expected there
will follow Immediately q boom In. the
iron and steel industry, with the resulting
employment OF many laborers now out
of work
In the lay mind, and even in the minds
of many in the financial district who
ought to be acquainted with the facts,
there appears to be an impression that
the advance in rates which the Eastern
roads are seeking is a fiat per cent in
crease. This is not the case. In general,
except in the specifically exempted
classes, the carriers asked for an Increase
of per cent where the rate was 81 or
more, but where the rate was less than
81 the increase requested was cents, not
per cent, with the result that on many
small charges the increase desired ranges
from Is per cent TO 80 per cent.
The average revenue from freight in
the territory covered by the petitioning
railroads, which includes the section
noAh Of the Potomac and Ohio rivers
and east of the Mississippi is approx
mately $500, 10000 year, and it is esti-
mated that in this section there are
about 100000 people.

head OF the steamboat inspection service,

OF the steamer Iroquois in the HUDSON

that the punishment often meted out 10
vessel captains who are in accidents is
insufficient for the gravity OF the OFFENCE
IF there is no law to the contrary In
the case" said Mr.. Redfeld. II should
say that this captain. II he had passen-

Field Artillery Will Have
Ten Days Practice at
Tobyhanna, Penn.
NO FUNDS; INFANTRY
TO BE LEFT BEHIND
Lack of Appropriation Forces
Use of Federal Equipment
Officers School Assured.

Although not enough money has been
appropriated by the state for regular
military encampment. some JOY was
passed out at national guard headquarters
yesterday when it became known that the
federal government would take the field
artillery of the state down to Tobyhanna,
Penn, for ten days work with field guns.
Colonel r. f. Walton, in charge Of
headquarters, explained that out of the
limited appropriation encampments for
the coast guard, the artillery and school
for officers had been arranged.
One battalion Of field artillery at time
will go for a ten days encampment to
Tobyhanna, starting July l6 and finishing
August "A, when the four battalions have
had their summer practice.
Under the customary regular army
economy there will be no need of trans
porting full equipment TO Tobyhanna To-
night a full battalion Of regular artillery
under Major Summerall, that started TO
hike from Fort Myer, Va, June 1, will ar
rive there. For time the regulars will
show how field pieces should be handled,
and militia artillery officers from all East
ern states will be pupils. This school pc
Rod starts June l6 and lasts fourteen
days. After that the officers are expected
to know something about handling their
own artillery, and the opportunity to
demonstrate their knowledge will begin
July l6, when the state artillery arrives.
Ks each battalion reaches Tobyhanna
it will find a camp already laid out and
equipped. The only cost to the state will
be for shrapne. Transportation will be
paid by the government.
The first to go will be the LIST Battalion
of the % Field Artillery of Brooklyn,
under Colonel George A. Winsate Its
encampment lasts from July 16 to July %.
1t will be followed by the I'd Battalion,
which win stay until August T. Then the
I'd Battalion Of the 1st Field Artillery
under Colonel +. II. Rogers, will take up
its ten-day period of instruction, followed
by the 1st Battalion, two batteries OF
which are upstate.
In this way II is hoped to give the artil-
lery sufficient instruction, a battalion at
a time, using the regulars equipment. No
hope OF giving the infantry an encamp-
ment seems to be entertained.
The state school for officers at Peekskill
will begin the latter part Of August.

Washington, June IA surplus OF
$50. oOo, 900 in the revenue Of the govern
ment for the fiscal year ending Juno %
10 estimated by the Secretary OF the
Treasury. who places the ordinary re-
CENTS at about s73S, 900 and the ordi-
nary disbursements at '7o3,Ooocoo. In a
formal statement given out this evening
Mr.. McAdoo says:
"I have gone carefully over the last
estimate OF ordinary receipts and DIS
bursements for the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1914, and II all the assessments
under the personal income tax are paid
before Juno so the surplus will be prop
ably $4,000, 900. 1t is very possible now
aver. that a large sum due for income
taxes may not be paid until few days
after juno 80, in which event the esu-
mate will be reduced accordingly. as such
payments will be credited to the FISCAL
year ending June 80, 1915.

Internal Revenue Decreases.
"Tbe ordinary Internal revenue receipts
will probably be about 1891, 10000 de-
crease OF about 100000 from the original
estimate.
"The additional internal revenue re-
ceipts, comprising the corporation excise
tax for two months Of the year and the
coronation and personal income tax for
ten months Of the year, will probably
amount TO about s75,OOO,OOo. The total as
easements to date against corporations Is
between t3,OC0,OOO and $H,OO0,OOo. about
50. 400 OOe in excess of the estimate. The
personal income tax assessments TO date
are $50. $50 900, which is s23,250,00O less than
the estimate. The total assessments on
corporations and individuals will be at
least SO, 100000.
at should he remembered In this con-
nection that tho personal income tax un-
der the law was COlleCIeu LOT only teii

ably be about s56,OO0OOO, a decrease Of
about 81, 900 900 below the estimate.

1.-THE ordinary disbursements OF the
government are now estimated at So3,-
10000, a little more than 100000 In ex-
cess Of the original estimate.
Summing up, the total ordinary re-
ceipts are estimated at about S33,O0O,0 600
and the total ordinary disbursements AT
sos, O0,OO0, leaving an estimated surplus
for the fiscal year Of about s3o,O0o,o0o. As
stated above, some OF the personal in
come tax receipts may not be received
until early in July, and this will proper
tionately cut down the above surplus.
1.-THE department Is convinced that
many liable to the income tax have failed
to mako returns, and that many have
made inaccurate returns. Active steps
will be taken TO discover all evasions OF
the law, and large additional amount
Of income tax will undoubtedly be col
lected from those delinquents."

SHARP NAMED FOR
MISSION TO FRANCE
Ohio Representative Nominated
by Wilson to Succeed Myron
r. Herrick.
TFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, June l2-Representative
William G. Sharp, ranking member OF the
Ohio delegation in Congress, was noni-
mated by the President to-day to be Am
bassador TO France TO succeed Myron T.
Herrck. who, It is reported here, Will
enter tho Senatorial race in Ohio Mr..
Sharp had the Endorsement of the entire
Ohio delegation.
The selection Of Mr.. Sharp for diplo-
matte post came up when the President
was casting about for a suitable man TO
take the Ambassadorship 70 Russia, but
he was eliminated from consideration Tor
that mission because OF his activities in
the passport dispute.
The story Of the hungry and thirsty
man who began by asking to be made
Secretary OF State and ended by begging
for an assistant janitorship has been re-
versed by William Graves Sharp. He was
first thought of as a possible Minister TO
Belgium at a time when there was some
opposition to the appointment of Brand
Whitlock. A fortnight later he was put
forward as a suggested substitute for the
unhappy Mr.. Pindell, Of Peoria, as Am
bassador to Russia.
Senator Pomerene was Mr.. Sharp g
sponsor on that occasion, but there were
lntimations that the Russian government
might not welcome Mr.. Sharp, because he
had been conspicuous in demanding and
voting for abrogation Of the treaty with
that country. Besides, Governor Cox OF
Ohio had a bitter feud with him and used
his influence against the selection. Now,
however, Mr.. Sharp gets better appoint
ment than either OF the other missions
would have been.
Mr.. Sharp was born in Mount Gilead,
Ohio, on March Il, 1859, and was educated
in the public schools and high school. lie
was graduated from the law school Of the
University OF Michigan in 1881, and began
the practice of law in Ohio. For one term
he was Prosecuting Attorney in Lorain
County, and then he retired from the bar
/ to become manufacturer Of pig iron and
/ chemicals, in which business he amassed
/ a fortune.
Mr.. Sharp was Presidential Elector OF
! the Democratic ticket in 1892. a candidate
! for Congress in 1900 and q Representative
| in the 6lst, ed and ed Congresses. HI
was married in 1895 to Miss Halle NJ
| Clough, and has FIVE children.
