James Larkin, irish radical, was
found guilty of criminal anarchy yes
terday, two hours and fifteen minutes
after the jury had received the case
from Justice Barlow S. Weeks. He
will be sentenced Monday morning and
will promptly take an appeal.
Larkin, who displayed no emotion
upon hearing the verdict, was ques-
toned at length by the court as to two
former convictions in Ireland, and was
asked whether it was not true that he
was born in Liverpool. This Larkn
denied vehemently, insisting that he
was born in Ireland. January 21, 1878.
Record of Larkin's Birth
After Lark;n had been taken to the
Tombs Alexander l. Rorke, Assistant
District Attorney, showed newspaper

u. S. Officials
Hint at Port
Strike Arrests
Assistant Attorney General
Questions Leaders of
Truckmen aud Marine
Workers Labor Unions

Arrests in connection with the rail
road and other strikes were fore sh ad-
owed yesterday by officials associated
with Assistant Attorney General Ames
in investigating the series Of unau-
'thorized walk outs that have been par
alyzlng the business of the port.
Leaders of several unions involved in
the strikes were summoned before the
authorities in the Federal Building and
closely questioned as to the basis and
circumstances of their walk outs with
view to determining their legality.
The same procedure, it was pointed
out, preceded the recent arrests of IN
surgent strikers at Chicago and it was
intlmated that the moment Federal Of
ticlals are convinced that the Lever
food act has been violated it will be
followed by similar action here.
Truckmen interviewed
Yesterdays conference was concerne d
with the strikes of the truckmcn that
handle foodstuffs for markets and COM
mission houses. and the marine workers
controversy. Isaac Goldberg, chairman
Of the New York Teamsters' Associa-
ton, declared tnat the trouble in this
particular trade was all brought about
through the temDorizing attitude of
the employers. This was particularly
true, he said, of the heads of the coast
wise shipping lines.
Instead of meeting the demands of
the men, he said. "and paying in
creased wages, Or refusing the demands
as unreasonable and standing for a
hight to finish, they put out evasons
and false promises. based on vague
hopes. The men have sense of being
fooled, and they strike and strike and
strike in the blind hope of at least
getting back at those who, they feel,
are trlfiing with them. The cloak and
SUIT trade used something of this
method, and the result is that many of
the biggest manufacturing establish
ments are moving to Rochester and
Middle Western and Southern cities to
avoid labor troubles"
he warned the investigators that if
the sporadic walk outs were not speed
lily checked the business of the port
will go to other cities along the coast.

Workers. Affliation, and Joseph B.
Stanton, president Of the Port and

Of the strike on the ferries and other
boating equipment of the railroads
operating in the harbor. Both men
went into the details of the sale of
seven tugs by the Erie Railroad to the
Phoenix Transportation Company, of
which Charles R. Stuart is president
They maintained that the Erie through
the transaction sought to evade the
eight-hour law applicable to railroad
workers, and that it was but the fore
runner Of similar action on the part of
the other lines.
They further stated that the trouble
would be ended if the railroads would
assure them in writing that the eight
hour day would be maintained and
that their craft would not be sold
to private companies that would en-
force longer day.

Fourteen hundred and one pre-
cincts out of zoos gave Johnson,

Indications were that the states

and Johnson.
Mr.. Gould said that Wood

candidate on the Democratic ballot,
drew practically all of the Democratic
votes, although the name of McAdoo
was written in occasionally All can
didates for delegate to the Democratic
convention were pledged to Cox.
Wood Man in "Big Four"
Late returns show that three Hard

the Republican "Big Four" delegates
to the Republican convention. The re-
turns showed Mayor Calvin of Gin

Light Democratic Vote
The Democratic vote was unusually
light, as there were no contests on that
ticket for President. Governor Cox of
Ohio was the only candidate, and all
Democratic candidates for delegate to
the national convention were pledged
to him. However, a few McAdoo votes
were written in OH the ballots.
The Wood candidates probably will
win in close race in the 22nd Dis
trict with the Harding pair winning
a similarly close contest in the Goth.
There is no contest in the 21st, the Har-
ding delegates being unopposed.
The returns from 400 city and county
precincts gave Wood / ,4S9 and Hard
ing 1886 on the popular vote. In 1910
when Harding was running for Cover

Breaks Into Prison
To Escape Lining Cost

JOLIET, Ill.,. April 27.-Robert
Needham, paroled three weeks
ago, after serving part of a SEN
tence for burglary, scaled the
walls of the state penitentiary
from the outside early this morn
ing and sneaked back into prison
because he found himself unable
to cope with the high cost of liv-
ing as free man.
Prison officials said it was the
first time convict had climbed
the walls to get back into the pen
itentiary.
The only way to beat the high
cost of living is to be in prison."
said Needham, when asked his
reason for returning to the prison.
