Carlton, whose right name Is believed to be James Edward McCandless, the Belt confessed bigamist, who was convicted on four charges, three of bigamy and one of grand larceny, was sentenced by Judge Aspinall in the county court, Brooklyn, to nineteen years in Sing Sing. The extreme penulty which the Judge might have imposed wiis twenty-live years. When Carlton was brought into court he looked calm and composed. John S. Bennett, his lawyer, made u plea to Judge Aspinall for leniency on the ground that Carlton was a sufferer from lung trouble and could not survive a long term of imprisonment. In pronouncing sentence Judge Aspinall said: The fare on the p., L. & W. R.

Chief Inspector Delaney has advised the committee from the league, from whom he received a long letter asking that O'Donnell be reinstated, that the force of deputy Inspectors Is complete and owing to the lack of funds It was Impossible to appoint any additional deputies. TWO WOMEN ATTACHED The trip from Shu Francisco was made over the Southern Pacific, the Union Pacific, the Chicago and Northwestern and the Baltimore and Ohio railroads. Of the original members of the congressional party only one, Senator Foster of Louisiana, returned to Washington with the secretary. The other members went home by different routes or stopped 011 the way across the continent, and only Colonel Clarence Edwards and several members of his Immediate party arrived him. Secretary Taft appeared to be hearty and vigorous and cordially greeted those who met him. He made a quick trip to his home and then proceeded to the war department. There he expressed gratification that the long journey was over and that It had been accomplished without mishap to any of the party.

Qualifications Will be tlie Sig- un Unknown Man Sprang at "I consider thut we gave Mr. Carl ton a fair trial, and 1 think you will coincide 111 that opinion. It seems to ine that this man's crime is unpardonable. 1 have often witnessed men here, strong men, pleading to a crime, and they would endeavor to hide behind the skirts of some woman and maintain that if it were not for this woman they would not be in the predicament they were in. Then we have other men who have the fascinating power that Carlton seems to possess — the oily tongue, the fair presence—and who win the confidence of women, marry them and then disappear and marry other women. Then when the women die they reap their life Insurance policies as reward. l4ist Evening—Remains Them in a Lonely Spot— Taken to Plilla nal for a Test to i»e Made Help Came Quickly, The body of 17-year-old Harry Hlrshman, who was fatally Injured on the Lehigh Valley at Pittston Junction last Friday and died later in Pittston hospital, was this morning identified by the young man's father and was shipped to the family home this afternoon. Despite the fact that the boy had died Friday night his relatives did not received word of the accident until last evening, when a telegram was sent to the address that had been gl ven by him after the accident. in the Courts.

(Scranton Tribune.) A daring hold-up that Jjas stirred the borough of Yatesville to its depths occurred last night about 10 o'clock, when two young ladies from that place were stopped by a strange man and boldly attacked at a lonely spot on the load between this city and that borough. The two young ladles. Misses Jessie and Gertrude Sari in, were so badly frightened by their terrifying experience that it was necessary to take theni to their home in a carriage. The residents of Yatesville are much excited by the outrage, and would go to any trouble to capture the guilty young man. THE PRESIDENTS MEET WEDNESDAY Consular Service In China. John Mitchell Will Confer With the In briefly discussing his trip the secretary SHld that the natives of the Philippines have reached the point where they can take part in legislation with profit to themselves and that It will be a good education for them. There are, he added, a sufficient number well qualified to compose one branch of the legislative body. Speaking of the consular service In China, he said he had made no statement since reaching this country which he meant to be construed as a reflection on the personnel of the service and declared that if any such impression had been created he desired it corrected. The American consuls, he explained, are poorly paid, inadequately equipped with clerical help and occupy buildings not in keeping with, the dignity of the country they represent. One European country, he said, had ten times as many men in its consular service in Shanghai as the Americans. It is a wonder, he added, that this country is able to secure such capable men as it has in the consular service In the orient, men who are working hard and conscientiously, when they receive such low salaries. He also pointed out that an ambassador received only $17,- 600 where It costs him $25,000 to live. Mr. Taft said provision should be made for better pay of officers in the consular service. A* canvass of the coal companies showed that they are preparing for the working of the new law by procuring from the state bureau of mines, an ample number of blank forms upon which the age affidavit and employment certificates are to be made out. They do not expect. However, that the act will be enforced as It Is strictly interpreted, especially in connection with the requirement that all employes under 21 years of age must furnish the educational certificate.

Mailed Back Securities. The prisoner confessed after several hours of questioning. He surprised the detectives by asserting he had forged the check just to show It could be done and that on the day after the robbery he had mailed back the bulk of the securities to Dyer Peurl, senior member of Pearl & Co., of 27 William street. He sent them to Pearl's home, 34 West Seventy-third street. This was discovered to be true. nue He was accompanied to this city by his son-in-law, Morris Goldstein. Mr. Hirschman told a reporter this morning: that his son had been gone from home four weeks. He said he was not a boy of bad habits but had fallen in with bad company. From the time his son ran away no word was heard of him until the message was received last evening telling of his death. The body, which had lain at Howell's morgue, was sent to Philadelphia this afternoon on the 2:49 Lehigh Valley train. The boy's parents are living, anjl five brothers and sisters survive him. Coming the (lay after the meeting of President Roosevelt and President Mitcfitfll at Washington, it is considered significant. Belongs In Electric Chair. A slater of the young ladies. Miss Kay Sartiri, who is in the nurses' training school at the Pittston hospital, visited her home last evening, and when she was about to leave her sisters accompanied her a part of the distance. They were returning home about 10 o'clock and Were walking along the road in the vicinity of No. 3 field, when, without the least warning, a stranger sprang from the road side and rushed toward them. He caught hold of Miss Jessie Sartiri, whereupon her sister screamed as loudly as she could and rushed back toward the nearest house. The young lady who had been attacked fought with all her might ami in her efforts to escape her clothing was badly torn. Within a few seconds help arrived on the scene, "Carltou, 1 have the utmost contempt for you, and if it were In my power I would sentence you to the electric chair. That is where, iu my judgmeut, you belong. There Is not the slightest doubt in my tniud that you took this poor, inoffensive German to the Hotel St. George with the object of putting him out of the way. Everything Indicates to me that you contemplated murder. If it were not for the strong, robust constitution of the Geriuau whom you robbed he would either be in Cypress Hills or Greenwood cemetery.District President Dettrey said that the meeting was to arrange the preliminaries for the Khamokin convention In December, when the demands of the miners upon the operators are to be formulated. "The law, so far as it prohibits boys under 14 years of age from working in the breaker, and boys under 16 working In the mines, is an excellent one and you will find that all the companies will assist loyally in enforcing that provision," said the operator In question, "but it will be entirely different In connection with the clause which, it is alleged, compels all boys under 21 now working to pro. duce certificates that "have passed the educational test. I could guarantee that about 90 per cent, of the boys in the breaker and in the mines would be disqualified under this section. The rest of the bonds and stocks were returned last night to Superintendent Dougherty and Captain Mc- Cauley of the detective bureau by the young man's father, who said lie had found the papers In the boy's wardrobe at home.
