STRIKE LEADERS SENTENCED
Debs Gets Six Months and the Other Strike
Leaders Three Months Each.
Chicago, Djc. 15. "Guilty as charged"
was the finding announced yesterday by
Federal Judge William A. Woods against
President Eugene V. Debs, of the Ameri
can Railway union. The same finding
was reached against the other American
Railway union leaders on trial with Dobs.
The finding of the court is that the de
fendants are guilty of contempt, but that
any punishment inflicted would not bo
cumulative. In other words, there were
two cases before the court, one for con
tempt and the other for violation of the
federal statue. The latter cause is merged
into the former.
Debs was sentenced to six months in the
county jail. The others on trial were
given three months each, except Me Vane,
who was released because there was no
evidence against him. . J
The court announced that the punish
ment was not to take effect for ten days,
In which time the defendants' attorneys
will preparo an appeal. The prospective
prisoners, after a short consultation with
their attorneys, left the courtroom.

tions in the American Railway union arc:

GREEDON'S CONFESSION.
He Paid $15,000 for His AppoinW -
ment as P01103 Captain.
HE IS SUSPENDED PE0M THE F0ECE.
The Action of the Police Commissioners in
' Suspending Creedon Aron-ies the Ire of
the Leiow Cotnm:ttoo Much Sympathy
Expressed for the Disgraced Officer.
New YORK, Dec. 15. Police Captain T.
J. Creedon confessed before the Lf'xow
committee yesterday that he had paid $ 15,
000 to secure his captaincy. A few hoars
later ho was suspended from tho force by
the board of police commissioners, on tho
recommendation of Superintendent of Po
lice Byrnes, who was instructed to pro-
Dare charges against hrift. The Lexow
committee has aareed that Creedon should
be granted immunity .from punishment
for his purchase of a captaincy, and when
the action of the police commissioners be
came known they, as well a3 Superinten
dent Byrnes, were subpoened to appfear be
fore the senate Investigating body.
Captain Creedon's confession was the
biggest sensation yet brought forth Ntthe
Lexow committee. In itself the captain's
statement was merely a confirmation of
testimony elicited before the senators on
Thursday, but the startling facts essen
tially Interwoven with this sensational
expose affix the taint of dishonor and cor
ruption upon men who have held some of
the most responsible offices In the gift of
tho community. But public censure is
not heaped on Creedon's head. He had
served in the local police department for
thirty years with honor and distinction.
He is a war scarred veteran, whoso record
shows that in twenty-three engagements
of the civil war he risked his life for his
country. The captain's fault Is forgotten
by the popular mind In sympathy for his
present trying position and respact for his
past record.
Captain Creedon had said on the witness
Btand on Thursday that he paid no money
. t : -d.,4. 1 1
for his captaincy. But yesterday, after
Captain Schmittberger, who is under in
dictment, refused, by advice of his conn
j 1, to answer Mr. Goff's questlons,v Cre.
.! d.on was allowed an opportunity to tell the
truth, and he told It.

'cast eyes. He was moved by conflicting
emotions, and the sympathies of his audi
;. tors went out to the white haired veteran.

manner he told how he had risen from the
Vww!n . .i .
r
how at last a captaincy was offered him
m nu j i-
for money. The expense of educating his
eight children had been very heavy, and
he wanted the position of captain, with its

raised the money. The amount necessary
to secure the appointment was $15,000, b3
causo Sergeant Wiegand had offered $13,
000. His friends, Barney Rourke and John
W. RoDDenhagen, secured the money, os
tensibly on his notes. He had paid the
money to ex-Assemblyman John J. M.'vr-
tin. It was his understanding that the
funds went to Police Commissioner Voor
his, now police justice. .
Then John W. Reppenhagen testified
that lie was given the money, and in turn
he at once turned over $10,000 of it to
"Honest" John Martin for the benefit of
Commissioner Voorhls. He kept the re
maining $5,000 for himself. He was tho
Ro-between. Reppenhagen swore that
Voorhls lied if he said he did not get tha
money.
It was during the afternoon session that
Mr. Go ft learned of Captain Creedon's sus
pension. The committee became excited,
and subpoenas were at once issued for all
the commissioners and for Superintendent
Byrnes.
The subpoena servers soon performed
their work, and Commissioner Martin as
sumed the witness stand. He had not
known that the committee were desirous
of retaining; Captain Creedon, or he would
have done otherwise. He had voted for
Creedon's suspension on the recommenda
tion of Superintendent Byrnes. He prom
Ised he would do all In his power to re
store Captain Creedon. 1 .
Superintendent Byrnes, who wa3 next
called, also promised to do all in his power
to restore Captain Creedon. -
These statements were applauded by the
spectators.
Police Justice Voorhls, who Is today one
of the most talked of men In New York,
denied in to to the allegations made against
him before the senators.

BRAVE ENGINEER LLOYD.
His Presence of Mind and Heroism Saed
Forty-six Lives.
WlLKESBAEKE, Pa., Dec. 17. Tho pres
ence of mind of Thomas Lloyd, the engi
neer of the Stevens colliery, at West Pitts-
ton, saved the lives of forty-six miners yes
terday. The engine house, a small frame
- structure, caught Are, and as the interior
was dry and saturated with oil the flames
rapidly spread. The only person In tha
building at the time was Lloyd. He first
attempted to extinguish the blaze with a
few buckets of water, but in less than five
minutes ta flames hail communicated to
the fan house. The destruction of this
building meant the shutting off of the air
current, which, would have becu fatal to
the forty-six miners who were at work In
the mine, 500 feet below.
Without losing an instant's time Lloyd
ran to the telephone and told the foreman;
at the bottom of the shaft to hurry through
the mine and give the alarm'to the men.
Notwithstanding the foreman's haste it
was more than twenty minutes before all
the men could be gathered together at the
bottom of the shaft preparatory to being
hauled to the surface. In the meantime
the engine hotrse was completely envel
oped by fire. The flames surrounded the
engineer, but he bravely stood at his post,
waiting for the signal to hoist the men
from the mine.
At last the bell rang, and In a few min
utes the carriage containing eighteen men
had reached the surface. A second peril
ous trip brought eighteen more up, and by
this time the roof of the engine nouse naa
fallen in, but Lloyd, with hands and face
badlv burned, still clung to the lever.
Finally the carriage was hauled up for the
third tlnie, with the remaining ten men in
it. Lloyd fainted the moment his brave
task was ended. His burns, though pain
ful, will not prove fatal.

A dark complexioned man, neatly
dressed but without an overcoat, went
into the Hudson county jail in New
York City recently a'nd said to Clerk
John Mersheimer: "I want to die. I
have come here to die.
"We can't accommodate you here.
We are not in the business of putting
folks to death just now," said Mershei
mer.' The stranger sighed. Head keeper
Eltringham came in just then and vol
unteered to act as the executioner.
"Stand up against the wall there,"
he said, "and I'll do the job for you
just as we used to doltwhen we caught
a deserter down on the peninsula."
The life weary man stood against the
wall, and Eltringham took a ancient
rifle from a cabinet.
The stranger opened his coat and
vest, exposing his shirt, and putting his
hand over his heart, told the veteran
to "shoot there."
Eltringham raised the gun and, tak
ing deliberate aim, said: One.two,
three bang!" But there was no report.
The man casta look of disappointment'
at Eltringham. A loud laugh came
from the spectators and he hurried put
at the door muttering angrily. No one
knew him. but it is believed he is in
sane. Charlotte Post. '

his horse. No one need to recite the
oft sung aflection he will lavish , upon
him. Next he loves his firearm. This,
poetically speaking, ought to be a six'

of a matchlock, which would kick any
man but an Arab fiat on his back at
every shot,- but actually, jn Algeria or
Tunis, wherr he lives near a city, it is
more apt to be a modern English
breechloader. You must fly from the
busy Jiaunts of men to find the match
lockC Next to his gun he. loves hrs
oldest son. Last comes his wife or
one of his wives perhaps.
