Frank Montague, aged 81 years, a
retired railroad employee and promin-
ent resident Of Hartly died yesterday
as direct result Of the reign of ter
ror following the many incendiary
fires. He was one of the most active
residents in fighting all the fires and

his death. He was stricken several

.REMUS IS ORDERED
TO JAIL FOR YEAR
Court Decides Atlanta Sen
tence Did Not Make Second
Term Unnecessary.

oy Tue aeeOCldtCu EItse.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, April a.
George e. Remus, former Cincinnati
bootleg king" was ordered to serve
one year in the Dayton tOhio) Jail un'
der ruling of the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals here yesterday.
In an opinion handed down by the
appellate court it was held that sen.
tences of two years imposed on Remus
for conspiring to violate the national
prohibition law and OF one year for
maintaining a nuisance during his
Illegal opera tions did not run con.
currently.
The opinion reversed decision OF
Federal Judge Smith Hickenlooper.
who granted Remus a writ Of habess
corpus and discharged him from Gus.
tody.
Remus can appeal to the United
States Supreme Court for a. reversal
of the appeals court, but whether he
will do so his attorneys could not say.
They said they must confer with
Remus before they could determine
anything regarding an appeal.
Yesterdays opinion did not affect
the liberty of the five associates of
Remus, who had been jointly SEN
fenced with him and who had been
discharged by Judge Hickenlooper
from serving their jail sentences. NO
appeal was taken in these cases.
Remus served a sentence of two
years in the Atlanta Penitentiary and
paid fine of 10000 for conspiracy
TO violate the national prohibition act.
He was sentenced on this charge on
May 16, 1922. Eight days LATER, after
another trial on the charge OF vio-
lating the section of the prohibition
law against maintaining a nuisa nee,
he was convicted and sentenced to
the Dayton Jail for one year and was
fined 81 600. He paid the 81 900 fine.
The opinion Of the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals pointed out
that the second sentence made no
reference to the first; that the diff
ferences in the sentences necessitated
separate service, one for a felony,
the other for a misdemeanor.

When They Left City.

Warrants charging grand larceny
were issued today for the arrest of
Mrs. Carrie IlalloIan. ~ years old, 800
G street northeast, and her son, Sam
uel Ridgeway, 2S years old. following
the reported theft of $9.35O from

The elder Ridgeway, who made his
home at the G street address, had
Withdrawn the money from Il ba nix al
Takoma Park. Md, three weeks ago
with the intention of redepositing it In
a local institution. Yesterday morn
ing, he told the police, he attended a
base bah game, and on his return
home missed the money from a bu
reau drawer. Neither Mrs. iIalloran
nor young Eidaeway could be found
and upon inquiry he learned they had
gone To the Union Station in his auto
mobile, which was later found there.
Most of the money reported stoleh
was inherited by Ridgeway from his
mothers estate, and was deposited in
the bank at Takuma Park. where he
resided. When Ridgeway moved into
the city he decided to ira ansfer the
money. The money. he said. was
SeWed in cotton bag.

port of his family.
