it was an apprehension that the re-

with the decline so far as mentioned
by local brokers. There was re-
newed talk of curtailment by Fall
River mills. However, while the
trade took rather a more favorable
view of weather conditions in the
south, and it looked as if buyers on
the rallies of last week were liqui-
dating their contracts, July sold off
from 26.S0c to 26.26c and closed at
26.37c, with the general market

 NOT LENIENT WITH BANDITS
Buffalo Man and An Accomplice Are sentenced to 8 and 20 Years 
 Maximum. Respectively.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 2O-Ihe wave of hold-ups in Philadelphia in which unemployed young men have been going around in stolen automo- piles and robbing individuals, stores and paymasters, with frequent shoot ings, was reflected in the criminal court here when Judge Monaghan sen- fenced James l..

ened table waters"
 The makers declare that the reduc- tlon works out at half a farthing a Dottle on half pints and a quarter of a iarthirg on splits. The makers also maintain that the increased cost of sugar, which is now higher than at any time since the war offsets the re- reduction of the duty.
 The Scottish distillers in petition to the chancellor of the exchequer, declare that while beer may be re- garded as the English workmen's beverage, whiskey is equally the bev- craze of workingmen in Scotland and Ireland and should have been granted an equal measure of relief from the 'monstrous duty of eight shillings and five pence bottle, which is admitted ly wartime measure"
 The distillers remind parliament of their great service rendered to the state in war time, without which the country would have been in the great est jeopardy The petition contin- ucs:
 ''These services, whereby the dis tilleries were diverted wholly to the production of munitions spirits for over two years doing injury to the trade in potable spirits which has not been wholly surmounted, deserve more generous recognition"

recognize that every government has the right to protect itself against its enemies. If Moscow reports of these priests activities are true, if the &C., cused had fair trial, they were con- victed not because they were priests but because they were traitors. It is no crime against religion and hu- manity to punish priests who seek to betray Russia to Poland or to Rome.'
 Scof at Hypocrits.
 After declaring that he, too, op- posed capital punishment, Mir. Holmes addnl that he had not the slightest sympathy with the howl of hypo- critical indignation which is now be- ing lifted in this country over the execution.
 "The Moscow government" he addeds .has done only what all the governments have done or would have done in similar cases the exc cution is exactly parallel to that of Roger Easement by England and of Chiders by the Irish Free State. What we have done in their affair so far as America is concerned is only one more attempt to ruin Russia"
 The statements issued by Dr. Grant and Rev. MT. Thomas were similar in purport.
