The >ccretary's Statement.

Mr. Bryan made this statement TO-
day:
No nation has protested against
the pas age OF the ship hill and 1t
H. not likely that any nation will
or would, since the bill does not
necessarily raise any diplomatic
questions. IL is not proper for this
Department at this time to dis
cuss with any nation the manner
in which the authority conferred by
the bill will or should be eXer-
cis"d We assume that the author
~ conferred upon the President
and those who will be associated
with him In the matter will be eX-
ercised properly and with due
regard to the nations welfare and
obligations.
All efforts to draw Mr.. Bryan ouI
further and OF get from him a state
ment as to whether he had received a
communication such as THE sun has
described on the subject of the German

DR. NORMAN GETS S|X-YEAR SENTENCE Service Postponed Pending ing Appeal by Defendant
 to Higher Court

Montgomery, March 13.-(SpeciaL) Dr. George R. Norman. physician of Jefferson county, was today sentenced by Judge c. P. Mcintyre of the city court of Montgomery to six years in the penitentiary for burglary in con nection with the medical examination frauds last January Kelly Adams, for mer negro janitor at the capitol, was sentenced by the court to two years and six months on the same charge. Execution of sentence was suspended in each case pending an appeal to the higher court, and the two defendants were remanded to the Montgomery county jail to await the outcome of their appeal.
 Norman was denied bond on tho ground that, under the law. his sen- tence did not allow him to make ball, and Adams bond was fixed at s1760. which he had not made up to 3 o'clock tonight. Both Norman and Adams were convicted the first of this week.
 Norman made no statement to the court other than to declare that he is not guilty. He said he was 23 years old a practicing physician of Jeffer- son county, and that his health is good. tIe accepted his sentence without murmur, though his manner indicated that he was nervous.
 Adams asked the indulgence of the court on the ground that he vas o4 years old and had been in the serv~ Ice of the state since 1878.
 Norman and Adams were convicted of the charge of burglarizing the of- flee of Dr. w. H. Sanders, state health officer, during the state medical ex- aminations in January, last. It was brought out at the trial that Adams, working for Norman, entered the of- flee of pr. Sanders, took thercfrom examination papers and turned them over to his principal, and that he then substituted corrected papers supplied him by Norman, in place of the orig inal ones The state proved that both men accepted money for the substi- tuition of the original papers.
