GERMAN ARMY
OFFICER TO
GO TO PRISON
Sentenced on n Charge OF
Badly Treating British
Prisoners of War. :

Ieipsic, May 2s.-sergeant Heyne

soldiers who were prisoners of war at
the prison camp at Herne, West
phalia, was sentenced, to ten months
Imprisonment by the high court here
today. He was the first German Of
ficer to be tried on criminal charges
arising from the conduct of the war.
The prosecuting attorney general
had demanded that Heync be sent to
prison for two years.
Reviewing the testimony. the prose-
cutor declared that while prisoners of
war could not be expected to be
handled with kid gloves Sergeant
Heyne was shown to have exceeded
the requirements Of his position Il as
guard over British prisoners in TWEEN
ty-eight instances" ..0
Attorneys for the defense declared
the. sergeant was constantly beset
with difficulties due to the hostile at
titude of British prisoners at the
camp. Tho British were said to have
been generally unruly. to have con-
stantly organized mutinies and to
have falsely reported themselves i'll.
Sergeant Heyne made an address to
the court, declaring that he had faith
in the judges sense Of justice and
asking for an acquittal.
The next case to be tried will be
that of Captain Mueller, who was ac-
cused of ill-treating British prisoners
at the camp at Karlsruhe.

RUSHING COAL
TODULUT||H AND
SUPERIOR PORTS
Possibility Of Tie-up of Coal
Fleets Would Result
From R. r. Strike.

Duluth, MINI, May 2e.--Coal II
being rushed from Lake Erie ports to
Duluth and Superior docks as a pre-
cautionary measure against possible
coal fleet tie-ur which might result
from the strike threatened by rail-
road mems union in the event OF a
wage reduction July :, according to
information received here by dealers
from their eastern connections.
Dock companies with mine connec-
tions desire to play safe and are en-
deavoring to get coal forward to head
off the possibility of an acute congcs-
tion during the fall months. Coal
operators. therefore, are pressing the
boat companies to fill their outstand-
Ing contracts for deliveries on this
market. Local dockmen said it is pro-
posed to maintain the movement from
the lower lakes as long as the docks
have any storage space left.
Many Cargocs Shipped.
During the last week As cargoes Of
coal, including six of anthracite. were
unloaded at the docks here. Thirty
six cargoes, including eight of anthra-
cite, are reported en- route from the
lower lakes. For the season since the
opening of navigation on April II, 173
cargoea of coal we're unloaded at the
docks here. OF that number 23 were
hard coal. For the first three days
this week 25 cargoes arrived.
Tonnage Increased.
The approximate total tonnage re-
ceived here so far this season is L.
1000 tons. This is far in excess Of
the tonnage recorded on this date last
year. Earlier opening Of the season
and favorable weather conditions for
shipping. together with the rush
started by dock companies, are given
as reasons for the large early season
receipts.
Receipts Of hard coal have been
so light this spring that dealers are
reported to be growing apprehensive
regarding the possibility of moving up
a sufficient tonnage during the sum-
mer to care for the requirements Of
the northwest territory next winter.
PLENTY OF CARS
Minneapolis. Mimi, May 26.-Fol
the first time in five years the dock
oprators are able to get enough rail-
road cars and as result more coal
has been accumulated at the head of
the lakes at this time since the open
ing Of navigation, April Is. than at
| this date in any season during the
previous five years. w. H. Groverman.
secretary of the Northwest Coal Dock
Operators Association, said today.
If the accumulation keeps up at
the present rate and there seems to
! be no reason why it should not,
there can be no fear for the north
west this fall. he said. TIL shortage
of carrier cars has been the big OBJ
| stacle against which dock operators
have had to contend in the last few
years, he added.

several were shot down and killed

RAILROADS run
EFFICIENTLY,
SAYS BYRAlh
Praises Employees Who En-
deavor to Help Roads Get
Better Results.

Washington. May Is. - Railroads
of the United States are being oper-
ated efsiciently. H. E. Byram, pred-
dent Of the Chicago. Milwaukee and
st. Paul Railroad. said today in the
course Of his examination before the
senate interstate commerce commit
tee which is inquiring into the trans
portation situation. He praised the
work of the employees who are en-
deavoring to aid the carriers In oh
tanning better results.
Attitude Against Them.
1T is to be regretted" Mr.. Byram
said, that the attitude of some Of
those who speak for railroad, en-
ployes Of the country does not tend
to promote good service. For some
time past efforts have apparently
been made to develop belief on the
part of the public as well as railroad
employees that the responsible off,
GERS of the railroads were not op-
Grating them efficiently and econo-
mically and it is greatly to the cred
it Of the rank and Ale of employees
Of the railroads of the country that
they have not been misled by these
false doctrines, as is shown by the
general willingness to cooperate
with the management Of the rail-
roads in bringing about the necess-
ary efficiency and economy in their
operation which prevails at the pres
ent time.
Il shall endeavor to show that the
charges frequently and recently made
by those critics, that the railroad
managers are not alert in endeavor-
Ing to prevent wasteful practices,
~
not correct, at least so far as this
RAILROAD is concerned, and have
reason to believe that similar efforts
are made by the managers Of the 9TH
er railroads"
"Omcers and employees of the Chi
caEo, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railroad
Company for several years, and par
ticularly OF late, have been carrying
