FIVE ANARCHISTS
 GIVEN SENTENCES
 OF 5 ID 70 YEARS
Five Russians, AcEnowl- edged BoIshevik Support CTS, Given Sentences
 by Alabama Judge

New York. October 25.-Five avowed anarchists convicted of circulating anti government literature, including pamph- lets urging munitions workers to go on strike, were sentenced to confinement in prisons in the federal court here today. Three were given 2O-year terms, a fourth who turned states evidence, was com mitted for three years, and the fifth, a woman, for 15 years.
 All five are Russians not naturaized, and elf-acknowledged supporters of the bolshevilx The three principal conspir- ators, Samuel Lipman. Jacob Abrams and Hyman Lachowsky, in addition to 20-year terms, were sentenced to pay fines of 5000 each. Judge Henry D. Clayton of Alabama who imposed the sentences, cut short the speeches. stating that he would not allow the defendants ito make them selves out as martyrs.
 Tn reviewing the case Judge Clayton commented on the futile attempt of the defendants to excuse their conduct by trying to show the justice of the bol- sheviki cause. Their purpose to ques- ton the authenticity of the "Sisson pa pers." which charged German direction and support of the Lenine-Trotzky re- sime by summoning as witnesses George Creel and Edgar Ssson, of the commit tee of public information, and Raymond Robins, Red Cross commissioner to Rus sia was frustrated by the inflexible re- fusal of the court to go into testimony of this nature.

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York, October 25.-The ginners' report at the opening showed 6,79o,O0o bales ginned to October IS, against c. 3o3, 900 in 1916, which report it was ex- pected the figures would approximate.
 The result was an advance of some GU points in quiet market, two-thirds Of
 which was maintained to the close. Some short coveding was in evidence,
 but the principal factor was~the cessa- ton of speculative and Liverpool sell ling. which has recently been such a constant pressure on this market. NO speculative demand appeared. and as we have pointed out before none is ex-
 pected by local traders, who remain
 very bearish The ginners' figures were
 much under expectations, but the mar
 ket did not respond, partly because sen
 timent is so bearish and partly be-
 cause congestion at the gins, and acute
 labor shortage, due to influenza, are
 thought to be the real cause of the small figures This explanation is un- |doubtedly correct in part, but We fear
 the figures also indicate the crop has
 not recovered in September and Octo-
 Der as was hoped with the good weath. |er-Hubbard Bros. Co.

The city clerk and treasurer was warned that if he paid the mayor any salary as recorder of the city of Bessemer he would do so at his own risk, as the ordinance recently adopted by the council is to be tested on con- stitutional grounds. The following points will be brought out in the injunction pro- ceedings:
 That the constitution fixes the salary of municipalities. The limit for Besse-
 mer is S2500, which is the mayors pres ent salary. That it is unconstitutional for an executive of the city government to hold more than one office. Court is adjourned at the present time on account of the influenza, but it is thought that Judge Gwin will set the case for an
