FOUR YEARS
FOR PRINTY

Harold Printy, claiming his home is
at Denver. Colo, appeared before
Judge Win Linn at late hour yes
I terday afternoon and entered a plea
Of guilty = the charges in the in.
formation, filed by the county attor-
ney, of stealing merchandise from the
cars in the Chickasha railway yards.
Judge Linn passed sentence upon the
defendant, giving him four years in the
state penitentiary at McAlester. Upon
dequest of the defendant the court
ordered the service Of the sentence to
date from Thursday, May IL.
Printy's thefts from the railway
cars were, it seems, confined to lift
ing sides of bacon and cans of lard
from the cold storage cars. The fruits
of his enterprise, it is alleged, was
sold TO different members of the negro
population of Chickasha. Two negroes
charged with completely in the thefts
are now in jail awaiting trial One of
these is the negro Sonny" Smith, who
has given the county and the city
a world of trouble during the past
several months.
Statements given out by officers at
the Jail say that there viii be no
more prisoners taken from the Grady
county Jail to the state prison until
the commissioners provide means
Of transportation for the prisoners
and the officers in charge. This state
ment, it is alleged, has been made
on account of the board of commi-
sioners, acting upon the advice of the
of the state inspection
department., refusing to reimburse the
sheriff's officers for travelling and
1ther expenses incurred in transport |
ng prisoners from Chickasha to Nc
Alester, claiming, it is further alleged |
hat this Indebtedness belongs to and
should be paid by the state.

BY United Press.
London. May 12.-Immediately fol.
lowing his arrival here Premier AS
quith this morning ordered the post
ponement of court martial trials of
all rebels, pending the outcome of the
present situation. which is admittedly
becoming serious.
One of the first acts of Asquith was
to order thorough investigation Of
the execution. without trial. of Editor
Sheffington, whose killing has aroused
the greatest indignation.
1t is conceded that the most dan.
gerous factor which the British gov
ernment may have to contend with,
now that the first rising has been
summarily subaued, may be other up
risings, or serious revolts brought
about by the Irish populace resenting
the summary punishment meted out
to the alleged leaders of the rebel
lion The Irish are known to be
q additionally warm-hearted and emo
tional people and the punishment Of
the rebels may, it is conceded. bring
about reaction of sympathy with dis
istrous results.
Following a fiery speech of John
Dillon, a highly respected nationalist,
IN the house of commons. a speech |
N which the government was bitterly
attacked, Premier Asquith took the
'eins in his own hands and proceeded
o Ireland TO personally conduct the
Investigation of the rebellion.

1t is stated at the War Department
that the order for the return of $1,000
National Guardsmen from the Mexican
border for muster out of the federal
service is not to be construed as fore
shadowing the immediate movement
out of Mexico by Gen. Pershing's
column.
1t is generally understood that when
the punitive expedition in Mexico is
withdrawn the entire guard force Will
be returned to home points for muster
out. Gen. Pershing's withdrawal de-
ponds largely upon the action of Gen.
Carranza on the agreement submitted
