Frederick Seipe. whose sneer at
Judge Harry v. Osborne after the
latter had sentenced him on Wednes-
day to serve term of not less than
four years and not more than nine
in State prison, resulted in him being
called back and the sentence doubled,
has found that repentance and an
apology are q good means of obtain
ing leniency. Following a letter sent
by him from the prison to Judge Os-
borne, Seipe was again arraigned be-
fore the judge yesterday, this time
minus his sneer and in very docile
attitude. and his sentence was re-
duced to not less than five years nor
more than twelve years in prison.
1t was the third sentence imposed
on Seipe for the same offense, and it
is believed the judge will not alter
the terms of this one. Seipe, who has
prison record and Calvin Num-
inert were arrested for holding up
several storekeepers and pleaded
guilty to two counts. Judge Os-
borne sentenced Seipe to not less than
four and one-half nor more than nine
years on one count and suspended
sentence on the other,
1t was when Seipe heard the first
sentence that he smiled and the court
believed the smile sneer The pris-
oner was brought back and Judge Os-
borne sentenced him to not less than
four and one-half nor more than nine

While Seipe was up in Jail await
ing transportation to the State prison
he began to think things over. and
as a result of his meditation Judge
Osborne yesterday received a letter
by special delivery. The letter was
an apology for Seipe's conduct on
Wednesday and an explanation Of the
smile that court took for a sneer. He
said that he expected a much seVerer
sentence than the one the court i'm
posed on him, and when he heard
"four and half years" he was
naturally overioyed,
He felt SO happy. the prisoner said,
he just couldn't help smiling. The
letter went on to express tho writer's
deepest sorrow for giving the court
the impression that he disrespected

his apology in person. Judge Osborne
granted him the chance yesterday
and for more than an hour talked
with him in his Offices.

favorably OF the jitneys was made to-
day by John l.. O'Toole. publicity rep
resentative of the Public Service Cor

Landau reported to the Jitney Ser
vice Association yesterday that he
had been discharged because he was
reported by another employe of the
company to have spoken kind

Landau said he lost his arm at the
Plank road shop In the service of the

he worked Ave years, and that since
the accident he had been earning IS
to 80 a week on which TO support his
wife and three children He gave his

There is no truth In the report that
he was discharged-lf he was dis
charged-for any such reason de-
clared Mr.. O'Toole today.
The Landau home was deserted this
morning. Neighbors said they be-
lieved the family had gone to rela-

They said they knew he had lost his

PROSPERITY ERA
IS HERE, NEWARK
BANKS DECLARE
Financial Statements Show In
crease in Deposits and
Increase in Loans.
HOME TRADE is SAID TO
BE BACK OF MOVEMENT
Officials Declare That New
Stimulation is Not the Result
of War Orders.

That a greater prosperity has ar
rived and that there is more in sight
Is evidenced by the statements made
public by national banks of Newark
today. In nearly every instance the
banks show a wonderful increase in
deposits and similar' Increases in
loans.
The present indicated prosperity is
not at all due to war orders, accord
ing to prominent banking officials.
1t is due to an awakening of dGmes-
tic trade.
Attention is called to the fact that
while the estimated billion and a half
foreign trade balance means much, it
amounts to less than $15 per capita
for the year. This is less than five
cents per day per capita. So bankers
generally realize that this single fac
tor could not cause prosperity, or be
more than an aid. They declare that
the manufacturers who are caring
for the home trade are accomplishing
most In the establishment of perma-
nent prosperity.
The report of the National Newark
Banking Company shows that it has
made loans and discounts now out
standing that amount to $9,S7S, ,226.77,
as against $500, 777.59 of last year.
and that the individual deposits, sub
ject to check amount to $S,014 ABB 26
this year. Last year they were Sc, $685.
S7043. The certificates of deposit due
in less than thirty days now amount
to $500 S24.52, a most wonderful in
crease over the figures of last year.
which were $7,702.57.
The statement of the Manufactur-
ers' National Bank shows that its
loans amount to So ,236, ,039.75 as
against s2,1726679 81 last year. The
individual deposits amount to S3,276,-
071.41. Last year they were 81, ,527,

The report of the Union National
Bank shows that It has loans out
standing amounting to 0,791 400. Last
year they were sl1, ,447, ,7S0S7. lndi-

Demolished by Explosion
Shortly Before Midnight.
LETTER TO NEWSPAPER
CLEARS UP MYSTERY
"R. Pearce" Admits He Planted
Explosive as Protest
to War.

WASHINGTON, July 3.--That the
explosion which wrecked the reception
room at the Senate end of the ma
tional capitol last night was that of
bomb was conclusively proved today
by the Washington Times's receipt of
letter, mailed an hour and a half
before the explosion occurred. an
nouncing that the explosion would oc-
cur.
After confessing responsibility for
the act, the letters author, who signed
himself-not in his own hand. but
with typewriter "R. Pearce,"
added:
This is the exclamation point in
my plea for peace
The letter was dated June 1. but
was not mailed until Friday night,
the date and hour being plainly shown
by the postmark.
From the communication eonstruc-
tion. it appeared that the writer had
been in Washington for several days
looking over the public buildings. un-
determined in which one to place his
exclamation point"
1t appeared, indeed, that it was
written before the Senate was chosen
for the purpose, for the letter itself
was typewriter, while the word Sen
ate" was inserted in pencil in blank
space left for the word.
Caused by Time-Fuse Bomb.
Even before they knew of the Times
letters existence experts had almost
unanimously expressed the opinion
that the explosion was caused by
time fuse bomb.
Chief of Capitol Police Louthan's
idea was that the internal machine
was planted some time Friday after
noon, before the building closed, as it
would have been difficult for anyone
to have entered later
