NOT GUILTY OF HOLDING NEGRO
 IN BONDAGE

Pensacola, Fla. Nov. 21-(By The A. P.)-After dileberating only nine minutes a. jury in Federal Court here late last night found Sidney J. Catts, former governor of Florida, not gull ty of the charge of having held in peonage John Henry Rogers, ne- gro.
 District Attorney Cubberly indicat- ed after the verdict he today would move dismissal of an indictment against MT. Catts charging peonage relating to Ed. Brown, negro.
 The governments main contention was that MT. Catts had held Rogers and Brown on bondage on his farm. after they had been pardoned from the state prison. where they were serving life sentences during his term of office as governor.
 The defense hinged its case mostly on. an effort to break down the state ments of the negroes that they never had any money while they worked for MT Catts. A dozen witnesses testi- fed they seemed well supplied with cash at all times.

Senator Truman H. Newb erry of Michigan, whose rightfulN place In the Senate has been a subject of bitter controversy, has submit ted his resignation asking that 1t take effect immediately. New berry has had a stormy career in politics. Four years ago he ran for the Senate against Henry Ford. Henry Ford was beaten. but the records disclosed that Newberry had spent large sums of money to procure his nomi- nation, and his subsequent cleo ton. Many of these expendi-
 lures were in violation of the Cor rupt Practice Law in Michigan.
 Newberry was arrested, tried and sentenced to a term in jail. This was in the State Courts. Ap- peal was taken to the U. S. Su- preme Court by which the Mich igan statute wass for technical reasons, declared unconstitution- al. A majority of the Senate gave Newberry his seat, denouncing in strong language. however, the means by which the seat was se- cured. The Democratic party made the Newberry case an issue.

Woman Says Attorney
 Told Her to Run Away
(Continued from Page One.) saTo Hell with Fine,s'

She was arrested two months ago on charge of keeping a house of i'll fame and a conviction with a fine of $100 followed. At that time she was represented by Attorney Gedul- dig who made a plea for c1emency on the grounds that the woman was practically penniless. The court fi- nally decided that the woman might be allowed to pay the fine at the rate Of S2 a week at the same time put ting her on probation. She paid $6 of the fine and then disappeared. when she was arrested in Boston on a statutory charge the local police were notified and decided to bring her back. In court this morning the wo- man, who is married and has two children. told the following story:
 'I heard that my children were to home by the probate court so l went be taken from me and placed in able to help me in any way. He told me he did not see how he could help, so I then went to my lawyer, Mir Ge- du1dig. I explained the case and he can take your children to- said. Can I do that He said, Why yes.'

 At the conclusion of the case it was decided by Judge Comley to continue the disposition for ten days. of the statements attributed to him by the woman, later in the day, wig orouslv denied them" There is ab- solutely no truth to them,' he re- piled ''She is an irresponsible per son probably spiteful and there is absolutely not a semblance Of truth to her statements. She came to me one day with a notice from the pro bate court and I directed her to the Welfare building. That was the ex- tent of my conversation with her. The next I heard from her was a letter which I received about a week ago from Boston asking about her divorce action. At that time she told me she was saving money with whion to pay her fine and intended returning to Bridgeport soon- That has been the extent of my dealings with her"

NEWBERRY's RESIGNATION.

s. Senate was beaten in Michigan. Enough Democrats and radical Republicans were returned to in- sure that Newberry, did he fail to resign, would probably be ex- pelled. The incident Is. doubtless. closed as far as Newberry is con- cerned.
 The incident ought not to be closed for the American people. The corrupt use of money in cleo tfons is a large and extended of fense which goes on over a great portion of the country. It is an evil which has flourished in Con- necticut for many years. Even now, scarcely a Connecticut elec- ton is conducted with due regard to the Corrupt Practice Act.
 Times are changing. Public anger against the corrupt uses of money is increasing. While the light holds out the burn, Con- necticut politicians will do we'll to abandon those habits in the use of money which are criminal in law. If they go on, the time Is not far distant when the storm will break. The American people are determined to keep the ballot pure.

JUDGE STEVENSON AND SECRET
 SOCIETIES.

ridiculous gives play to the spirit of boyhood of which a trace ling CTS in most adults. A secret so- ciety does something else not so comm endable. It can be the breeding place or the hothouse of ancient hatred, prejudice and so on, that would soon perish if exposed to the frost of publicity and outer air. Judge Stevenson has a hard road to travel but he will find some followers. It may be added that secret societies have been found to be injurious to public school systems that they have frequently. as in Bridgeport. been abolished.
 The tendency is to turn them out of schools everywhere and there Is some growth of the idea that they ought to be turned out of colleges and universities In school and college the secret so- c:ety promotes caste. denies equal opportunity and equal privilege and Is, in short. a divisive ele- ment- It is likely that the secret society in the outer world oper- ates after the same fashion

Agent Bought House Through
 Dummy, Sued
Deception Deserves Se- verest Condemnation, " Says Court, Giving Verdict to Plaintiff.

Judgment for $4,447.sO was given Anna Herzog of Greenwich, against Thomas N. Cooke of Stamford today by Judge James H. Webb of the Su- perior Court before whom the case was tried.

She claimed that Cooke later called her telling her that she should sell for sold the property for $20,900. The buyer. Carl J. Wold it was later dis closed, was an emplove of Cooke's and shortly after the property was re- sold to Edgar H. Arnold of New York at profit. The decision of Judge Webb in part is as follows:
 Purchaser A Dummy
 ''The deception and sulbterfuge to which the defe ndant resorted in order to accomplish the purchase of the plaintiffs property at his own nation. Whether he had ever in fact been expressly requested by the plaintiff to find a purchaser for her for the property, I do not find it necessary to deterninle. He testified that he never had any conversation with the plaintiff or her husband, and indeed that he had never seen any of them"

Judge Henry c. Stevenson. son of a distinguished father, a well known Bridgeport lawyer. was once a joiner. He belonged to many secret societies. He has re- signed from all of these SOC eties and has adopted an attitude of outspoken hostility to secrecy in all of its fraternally organized forms. MT. Stevenson has the courage of his convictions.
 There are, in America. quite a substantial body of men who do not belong to secret societies because they do not believe in them. A secret society habit is so widespread and the practice of belonging to secret societies Is so common that these persons usually keep their queer habits to themselves. Judge Stevenson Is in e different category. He has tried different kinds of fra ternities and he has come to be- ueve none of them are good.

He called attention that the government ships were being worn out without any provision for replace ment and that program of surrender and sacrifice and the liquidation, which he declared would be inevita- b1e unless the proposed legislation were enacted, would cost scores of millions. The cost of proposed leg islation giving direct action, he said with ocean carrying maintained at the present average would not reach direct action if American shipping were so promoted that it carried one half the nations deep sea commerce, would not exceed 30.000,OO0 annual ly.

 You find me in the midst of an | exceedingly interesting experiment. | he .tslid. smiling. Be seated, senor; l should like to have your advice." On the bench before him were a number of samples of -Igar in oiled paper. some test-tubes, beakers, a Bunsen burner, and a miniature still which bubb1ed noisily. rmstrong de- lected the sharp odor of freshly d1s- | tiled alcohol.
 "As an engineer" went on Legarra. | fixing his clear eyes steadily on Arm strong's, tt is hardly necessary Tor | me to explain to you the purpose of | this apparatus. I am conducting a quantitative test. to ascertain IT cannot distM second-grade sugar into alcohol.
 "Oh. yes; I know it can be doue But what I want to know is whether I can get more money for natural second-grade, or whether my profit would be greater by distilling it into | alcohol.
 Now, an agent of the French gov- ernment has urged me to erect stills i for manufacturing alcohol which he desires to purchase for use in making explosives. Will you correct my tests? My calculations show that, even with the investment and lapor | involved in the distil1ation, I would make shade greater profit Need less to say. senor. I am anxious, too. | to do all in my power to heIp France"
 Armstrong rapidly checked off the figures which Legarra gave him and asked for permission to analyze and distil a sample of second grade sugar Checking off Legarra's computations one by one. he made a few simple tests ending with a quantitative dis
 tiMafion test When these were com p1eted, he said:
 You could almost afford to distil hrst-grade at the rate the Frechman l is willing to pay The price. of course,

 piled. His quotations are c. i. f. the pepfer at Guanatra, and delivery must be prompt" Legarra frowned ''IIe has studied the situation here very carefully and has found that some trouble might be expected from Amador, I believe. Unless I went to the expense of erecting stills at Gunanatra, I would be compelled to buy tank-cars for shipping to the steamer. Now. what can you suggest, senor?''
 T should like to make you a pro- position, Senor Legarra; but to me 1t means disclosing a plan so import ant that-well I am still little doubtful"
 But you can trust me-entirely!" burst out Legarra.
 tIt involves. among many other features, the cooperation of ten of the nineteen mi1l-owners of Guana- tara Valley. I went them to boycott Amadar's raiIroad.'
