Will Take An Appeal.
JUDGE REFUSES NEW TRIAL
Nominal Fine Imposed On Steamship
Company, Court Believing That
1uenz Is Responsible For
the Action.

New York-Dr. Carl Buenz, George
Kotter and Adolph Hachmeister of the
Hamburg-American Line. recently
United States government were SEN
fenced to serve one and half years
in the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta.
Joseph Poppinghaus was sentenced to
one year. The Hamburg-American
Line was fined one dollar.
All the defendants were admitted to
bail pending the suing out Of writ
of error in their behalf.
Bail was fixed at $4,000 in each
case and was accepted from a surety
company. Sentence was pronounced
after Judge Howe had overruied'
motions by William Rand, Jr., chief
counsel for the defense, for dismissal
of the verdict on the ground that 1t
was contrary to the evidence and law
in the case. In making his motion
Mr.. Rand said he had little hope that
it would be entertained by the court.
United States District Attorney
H. Snowden Marshall, in moving for
sentence, said it was "his painful duty
to ask for substantial punishment, not
so much for its effects on the defend
ants but to serve as a warning to
others"
None of the defendants showed any
emotion when sentence was pro-
nounced. Prior to the opening of court
they were surrounded by number of
sympathizers with whom they chatted
freely. DR.. Buenz told his listeners
that his only regret was that the
American people Should believe he had
done anything to- injure them or had
ever had anything but the kindliest
feelings toward this country.
Through Mr.. Rand, the aged direct
or of the Hamburg-American Lin'
asked Judge Howe to take into con
sideration that his three co-defendant
were his subordinates and that if an,
offense was committed they wer
merely acting under his orders.
The nominal fine imposed on tn
Hamburg-American Company was el
planned by Judge Howe as due to hi
wish to free the case, as far as POI
sible, from 1.-The odor of money" H
! said there was no evidence to sho'
that the company, as such, had entere
into any conspiracy and that it wa
probable that DR.. Buenz alone had an
power to bind it in any of the procee'
!. ings complained Of The lighter sci
- tence imposed on Poppinghaus was
recognition of the fact that he occ
= pied subordinate position and hs
merely carried out the orders Of h
superiors without having an acti7
part in the planning of the conspiraC
for which they were convicted.
ID In sentencing DR.. Buenz judi
Howe announced that if the senten
was confirmed in the higher courts
:" would be willing to support any mo
. to obtain clemency on the ground
:. the advanced age of the prisoner.
- ~ This case" said Judge Howe, ''w
undoubtedly be taken to the Court
:. Appeals and to the United States
:. preme Court. If sentence is affirm
80 and it is claimed that imprisonme
would be a peril to DR.. Buenz on
count of his advanced age the ca
will be referred to the executive

Garrison May Drop Military lnstrue-
tion Unless Burnt Buildings
Arr Replaced.

Governor G9Idsborough received a
letter from Secretary Of War Garrison
in which the latter intimated rather
strongly that the War Department
might not assign an oficer to the
Maryland Agricultural College as mill
tary Instructor unless the State re-
builds the structures which were
burned about three years ago. The
Governor sent copy of the letter to
the college oflcials and asked that It
be submitted to the board Of trustees
at the meeting which is to be held De-
cember 10. He refused to comment
upon the letter
Secretary Garrison's letter, IL is
stated, came as the result of request
from the college that Capt. Edgar 7.
Conley, Of the United States infantry,
be assigned as military instructor in
place Of Major John A. Dapray, who
recently left the college, following con-
fiict with authorities. In the letter
Mr.. Garrison said, in part;
"rhe facilities furnished the military
department are so meagre that it is

to continue the issue of arms and
equipment or to detail an officer of
the army in the place Of Major
Dspray."
DR.. H. J., Patterson, president of the
college, announced that the act pro-
glding assignment of regular army
officer as military instructor was
mandatory. if at least a specified num-
Der of students was in attendance and
IL an officer was available. He said
that the college now had enrolled far
more than the number of students re-
quired. He also said that the report
of the last inspection officer who
visited the college was favorable and
that the War Department assigned
Major Dapray after the burning of the
buildings
The college authorities are expected
to ask the next Legislature to appro-
pirate money for the reconstruction OF
the burnt buildings. They asked the
last Legislature for large appropria-
tion for the development of the work
of the college and the construction Of
new buildings, but fight developed
and differences of opinion arose which
caused the whole project to fall
