BALTIMORE. Md, February g.
Fines aggregating $12,500 and costs,
and sentence of 18 months In a
Federal penitentiary were imposed on
Samuel r. Beard, Washington book
maker, by Judge w. Calvin Chestnut in
Federal Court here today, following his
conviction several weeks ago on charges
Of evasion Of income tax payments for
the years 1924 to 1928. and filing of In
adequate returns for the year 1880.
With Beard, as he appeared before
the court Tor sentence, were his at
torneys, william Curran and Morton
p. Fisher. Simon z. Soboloff, United
States district attorney, and his as
sistants, Cornelius Mundy and Charles
G. Page, who conducted Boards prose-
cution, also heard the sentence pro-
nounced. Boards attorneys said they
would not ask for q new trial.
Judge Chestnut made a brief state

which he pointed out that the object
of criminal punishment is not always
merely to punish the individual; 1t

ished, and thus act as deterrent.
1T is quite problem to know what
Is the proper sentence to give YOU"
the Judge said. There are several
factors in the matter that I have tried
to appraise. OF course, the funda-
mental thing is that it is the obliga-
ton of every man to contribute to
the support of his Government. And
that obligation you neglected and dis
regarded, not only for one year, but
for five separate years. bear in mind,
however, that you probably did have
some idea you were not obliged to file
any returns. I take into consideration
also in the case the fact that since this
case has been on trial, and quite re-
Gently, I understand you have expressed
willingness to pay to the Government
the whole of the back taxes as COM
puted by them, and carrying penalty
Of so per cent, which makes an antici-
pated gross payment to them of some
thing like 100000, which, of course
is large sum. I take into conSidera-
ton also the fact that your counsel did
not file a motion for new trial in his
case, and have announced that they
intended to take no appeal, and that
you are regretfully acquiescent in the
conclusion in the case"
Beard heard the sentence calmly and
quietly left the court room after its
pronouncement.

BATAVIA, Java, February 6.-Muti-
nous native seamen who overpowered
their officers and put to sea in the Dutch
cruiser De Zeven Provincien early yes
terday sent out wireless message to-
day announcing they were heading for
Sourabaya, Java, where the vessel
would be delivered to naval authorities.
I'VE, the ships hands" the message
said, intend to steam to Sourabaya.
We do not intend violence, but will de-
liver the ship officially into the hands Of
the commander the day before We reach
Sourabaya. Our object Is to protest
against an unjust wage cut and against
the arrest of those who protested last
week No one on board has been hurt.
On the contrary. all are we'll"
Nine Dutch officers and several petty
officers were prisoners aboard the vessel.
Her position was not known, but the
entire Dutch East Indies fleet was
searching for her. Aboard the govern
ment steamer Aldebaran was the mas
ter of the mutinous cruiser. Should
there be an engagement, the cruiser
could blow the Aldebaran out of the
water, but it was assumed from the
wireless message that the mutineers in
tended to allow the Aldebaran to come
alongside and to turn over the cruiser
to its captain.
