The sentences imposed upon Harry
T.. Sinclair, Henry Mason Day and

$1,000.
Sinclair is serving three months
sentence in the district or Columoia
jail for contempt Of the senate. He
refused to answer questions before
the senate oil committee in connec-
ton with the oil investigation.
In the case decided today the eov-
ernment charged that Sinclair
through Day. had employed the
Burns detectives 10 shadow the jury.
Sinclair contended the government
had failed to produce evidence
showing the shadowing had OBJ
structed the trial. and all defend
ants Joined in an appeal.
The court of appeals OF the Dis
trict OF Columbia called on the
supreme court for instructions on
points Of law and Owen j. Roberts,
counsel. asked the high
est court TO have the whole contro-
versy sent to Ii. Such an order was
issued. and the supreme court today
disposed or the whole controversy.
instead OF merely answering the
questions and sending the case back
for action by the court or appeals.
Justice McReynolds delivered the
opinion Of the court which was
unanimous except that Justice
Stone. who was attorney general
during some Of the oil lease IL ga
ton. took no part.
Pointing out that the defense
contended the evidence Called 70
show the detectives had established

EDINBURG, June 3.-While III
@. Baker, superintendent OF the
Edinburg independent school dis
trict insisted there was no difficulty
between members of the faculty and
himself and that reports OF whole
sale dismiSsals and designations
we're exaggerated, several members
OF the teaching staff last year were
reported TO be holding a meeting
Monday to discuss issuing public
statement.
Baker said that only 2l vacancies
had occurred in the faculty from
all reasons and that all but eight
of these represented teachers who
were quitting the profession to get
married or teachers who had secured
positions in other schools.
He denied that any member Of
the faculty ever had been told that
he was discharged for political rea-
sons. but said that some of those
not reelected had been dropped
from the staff in the interest OF
harmony in the system.
Baker said some of the teachers
had been offered reduced salaries
in a program Of financial retrench-
ment.
A list Of IA teachers which he
said had been reelected was issued
by the superintendent.
Two of the men whose names were
included in the list as having been
reelected said they had been noti-
fled that they we're discharged and
that they already had secured po-
sitionS in other schools.
II. X. Tut, formerly teacher or
vocational agriculture in the junior
high school, said he had accepted
a position in Abilene after he had
been notified he would not be re-
employed at Edinburg. +. ID. An
derson, instructor OF automobile
mechanics, said that he has ac-
cepted a position in Houston.
Other teachers we're silent on the
reasons for leaving the system.
Inability to adjust themselves 10
our program Of financial retrench-
ment, which Is for the best inter-
est Of the citizens OF the district,
was partly responsible for the fail
ure Of eight members Of the faculty
Of the Edinburgh schools to be re-
elected for next year." the superin-
tendent stated. ITO secure harmony
for next year 1t was necessary that
those faculty members who are in
accord with our policy TO give To
the citizens Of the Edinburgh con-
solidated independent school dis
trict the best schol system possible
at the least cost, be replaced" he
continued.
Other factors which entered into
the replacement OF these eight
teachers we're disloyalty TO the
school organization, a combination
of work which will permit a reduc-
ton in the teaching force, and the
inability of some teachers to work
harmoniously with the school pro-
gram" Mr.. Baker stated.
The turnover in the teaching force
OF the Edinburg schools this year
Is not unusual, officials of the school
said. and the percentage Of teach
ers who are not coming back an
other year Is not as high as in most
school organizations.
Instructors in the Edinburg school
system. who Baker said have beer
reelected. subject to assignment
are IS follows: Louise ". Allen. G.

NEW LONDON, Conn. June s.
P)-Capt. Louis Rounds of the mo-
tor boat Elizabeth Ann, said today
he had assisted a man who identi-
fled himself as Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh tie up a yacht at Block
Island late Saturday.
The colonel, according to Capt.
Rounds. was wearing dark glasses
to conceal his identity. but admitted
he was Lindbergh when question
ed. He had stopped TO take on gas
oline and water and IS quoted as
telling Capt. Rounds he was on hts
way to Boston to pick up a party
OF four.
The yacht, according TO Capt.
Rounds. was a 38-foot motor double
cabin vessel called "Mouette" OF
New York.
Capt. Rounds said the yacht was a
new one. and apparently had come
from Montauk Point. although the
yachtsman said he came from Port
Jefferson, IL. I.
On the deck Of the yacht we're
several gasoline drums. The yachts
man bought a barrel Of water and
after while put to sea again.
Capt. Rounds and his mate. Ray
mond Abel. both formerly in ship
ping board service. said they we're
attracted to the yacht which was
about 38 meet long, by efforts of the
yachtsman to make a landing. He
was alone, and usually craft of that
size have az least two men. They
had an idea that the yachtsman was
Lindbergh and they finally asked
him and, they say. he admitted his
identity.
The curtains in the cabin were
drawn. and so far as could be OBJ
served. no one was in that part OF
the craft.

Mutual Welfare Group Aided,
 Not Hindered, He Says

New York. Dec. 1S LP'-Mayor Charles D. Osborne Of Auburn. N. Y. where is located Auburn prison, scene of Wednesdays prison re- volt, today issued a statement pro- testing against assertions made thai the Mutual Welfare league was re- sponsiUle for the outbreak.
 The statement, issued through the National Society Of Penal Informa- ton, Of which he is president, said i'll part;
 Tt should be distinctly under peradoes and long-term men who were involved in the attempted es- cape from Auburn prison were members of the Mutual Welfare League. As a matter of fact, through the influence of Mutual Welfare League officials the entire prison population of the north cell block was marched from the yard 10 their cells and kept there quietly during the entire excitement, talk ing no part in the attempted escape and rioting.
 "The Mutual Welfare League is based solely upon the proposition that there is hope for men sen- fenced to prison, and the part played by the league officials clearly dem- onstrates the value of an appeal to their sense of necessary discipline.'
 The league is an organization of the convicts themselves. al organiza- tion in which Mayor Osborne has long been keenly interested. He is the son of Thomas Mott Osborne. former Sing Sing warden who was among the first prison officials of the country to adopt lenient meas ures in prison administration.
