was participated in by the American In
telligence service, the French Intelligence
service. together with General Baron

the deserved penalty" The dispatch add

the collection of the natural taxes.
The names of those said to have been
assassinated were not announced.
The wireless dispatches say that the
plotters obtained from Finland and mill
tary stores in Petrograd their grenades,
dynamite and arms. In the first activi-
ties they blew up the Volodarsky statue
and then attempted to carry out assassi-
nations. They also planned to burn oil
stores and blow up the train on which

patches assert. wUs called the ''Petrograd
fighting organization which had con-
nection with secret Germanophile organ
ixations. Besides, it is said, there also

have monarchist leanings.

FIFTEEN YEARS FOR

Sentence of Harrison, Charged
With MansIaughter-Will
Appeal Case.
(sy the Associated Press)

GREENvILLE, S. c., Sept. Tom
Harrison, convicted of manslaughter
for the killing of his wife on Deem
Der 10, 1920, was this afternoon SEN
fenced by Judge r. w. Memminger to
serve fifteen years at hard labor in
the state penitentiary at Columbia.
Attorneys for the defense this after
noon announced a withdrawal of their
motion for new trial and sentence
was immediately imposed. 1t is un-
derstood that an appeal will, however,
be taken to the supreme court. Under
the sentence Harrison cannot secure
bond pending his appeal except by
order of the supreme court. Upon re-
quest Solicitor Smoak. Judge Mem
minger consented to the signature of
an order removing Harrison from the
county Jail here to the state penitenti-
ary at Columbia
When he stood up to receive the
sentence of the court, Harrison pro-
tested his innocence and asked the
court to be as light as he could. Il
did not intend to XIII her, and would
not have done it for nothing in this
whole world" he said. Counsel for
the defense then pleading for a light
sentence declared Harrison's health
was bad, and read certificates from
physicians showing that he was suffer-
ing from cirrhosis Of the liver ans
multiple neurosis.
Harrison was at one time owner q
the Hundred Thousand Club herr
He still owns much property and
considered wealthy.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The trouble

perately protested" Samuel Gompers

the mine owners pay the bill, Deputy
sheriffs, paid by mine owners, form
another wing of the private army,
equally dangerous.
''The present strike is a direct pro-
test against the action of the mine
owners of West Virginia in refusing
to abide by the award Of the United
States Coal Commission. If the United
States government at this time de-

destroy the private armies OF the mine
owners the government is in the posi-
tion of sustaining a defiance of an
order issued by its own authority.
''The state government In West Vir-
