Court Permits Feebleness of Doctor to Sway Him to Cut Term in Two, but Doubles Cash Penalty--Judo* Al­ lows Appeal. , v ; Portland, Ore., Oct. sen­ tence of the court is that you shall be imprisoned for a period of ten months and pay a fine of $500." Congressman Jonn N. Williamson listened with set features as this sen­ tence was pronounced upon him by Judge Hunt. A last futile effort h&d been made by his counsel to avert the impending judgment by the plea that , sentence would interfere with the de­ fendant's performance of his duties as a member of congress. The objec­ tion was overruled. Squaring his shoulders,, as if to gather himself to meet the Impending blow, Williamson turned to hear the penalty of his vio­ lation of the law. The words were isfeon spoken and Dr. Van Gesner and Marion R. Biggs, former United States commissioner, successively rose to their feet to hear the sentence imposed on each of them Listen to Their Doom. Out of compassion for the age and feebleness of Dr. Gesner his term of imprisonment was fixed at only five months, half the time which Congress­ man Williamson must serve, but his fine was doubled, being made $1,000. Biggs received the "same sentence im­ posed upon Williamson, ten months' imprfeonment and a $500 fine. The third trial of Williamson, Ges­ ner and Biggs on the charge of con­ spiring to suborn perjury in connection wtih timber land entries in Crook county, ended on the night of Sept. 27, with a verdict of guilty. In passing sentence the court said: "Mr. Williamson, an indictment was brought by the grand jury, charging you with conspiracy to suborn perjury. Your plea of not guilty was entered and upon trial you were found guilty. The time has now arrived to impose penalty. Have you anything to say be­ fore sentence is pronounced upon you?" Ready for Sentence. With his hands in his pockets, his face like a mask, Williamson replied: "I guess it has all been said, judge." Judge Hunt then said: "The time is now at hand when I must do my duty, painful to me as it is. Nothing that I might say at this time could remind you more forcibly than the occasion itself must of your situation. Your in­ telligence, your honorable public posi­ tion and your own self-respect com­ bine, I am sure, to impress upon you error. The circum­ stances of your case afford a striking warping to careers free from that taint which should always and does some­ times follow the too-prevalent belief that what is wrong as against an in­ dividual may be countenanced as against the .government Itself. Protects Public Ownership. But the law demands that this dan­ gerous doctrine be suppressed and that public -as well as private ownership of lands be protected. The same good faith, honesty and fair dealing should pervade every dealing in the matter of public lands and every purchase of private property between man and man. This, and this only--no more, but no less. The sentence of the court is that you shall be imprisoned for a period of ten months and pay a fine of $500. At the request of your counsel, made by formal motion, the execution of this sentence is suspended pending an ap­ peal and such other matters as the law authorizes may be had in your behalf in the full preservation of your rights." ifciv.s, Ex-Congressman Jerry Simpson, ill in Wichita, Kan., shows no improve­ ment.

Taggart, which for a year has been the sensa­ tion of the United States army, was decided Friday by Judge Eason in fa­ vor of the husband, who also was giv­ en the custody of the children, Culver, 11 years old, and Charles, 7 years old. Mrs. Grace Culver Taggart, who filed a counter petition and fought des­ perately for her boys, is completely prostrated. She had indicated that she didn't care who got the divorce so long as it left her the children, but the de­ cision permits her only to visit them. That the sympathy of the children is with their mother was evidenced when court adjourned. Mrs. Taggart was too ill to attend when the decision- was read, but her father and children were present. Culver, the elder of tha two boys, cried bitterly, and as he met his father In the corridor he burst out in rage and grief: "You won the case by lying. I saw you throw her down stairs and point a revolver at her. Every witness swore to lies about mamma. You are a damned liar. I won't go with you. I won't leave mother. I don't care what the Judge says." Son Curses Father. Major Taggart, in telling of the in­ cident, said he had never been cursed by a grown man as he had been by the boy. He took Master Culver by the arms and half led and half dragged him along, the boy all the time cling­ ing to objects in front of stores, pull­ ing back* and trying to get away. He was finally quieted, and walked to­ ward the home of his mother, sobbing as if his heart were broken. Major Taggart, fearful that Mrs. Taggart may attempt to kidnap the boys. It is said, has hired officers to guard the house. Judge Eason before giving his de­ cision, reviewed the petitions and said that the testimony was deeply touch­ ing. The charge, of drunkenness against Major Taggart he declared was not sustained. "Both sides," said he, "have made extravagant claims in itheir pleas." .He'declared the evi­ dence showed it was a love match. There was not a ripple on their mat-" rlmonial sea for the first seven years. It appears from the evidence that there was never any dispute about financial matters," he says, "find that all the difficulty there was was owing to their relations to others." The decision states that the charge of adultery against Mrs. Taggart had been proved in four different cases. There is a provision In the decree that if Capt. and Mrs. Taggart can agree on a disposition of the children satisfactory to themselves other than that held by the court, they are per­ mitted to do so, but If not, the chil­ dren are to be under the care of their father.

Mrs. Taggart filed a counter petition on the ground of cruelty and neglect. The case has been of exceptional Interest because of a statement during the trial by Maj. Taggart that the use of intoxicants in the army was so common as to be al­ most the custom. Maj. Taggart al­ leged that his society girl bride learned ^to drink like a trooper and smoke cigarettes like a messenger boy. He named Lieut. Louis <N. Bash, who recently married Bertha Rundle, author of "The Helmet of Navarre" and other novels. Bash met Mrs. Tag­ gart in the Philippines three years ago.

Miner and Lieut. Fortescue to have him locked up as a victim of al­ coholism. The trial lasted seven weeks. The case went to the court a month ago. The suit was first started in July, 1904, by Maj. Taggart, who filed a petition for divorce, charging his wife with conduct unbecoming a wife and alleg­ ing the excessive use of intoxicants.

Has Been Diverted and Demanding i Reimbursement by the Official* . New York dispatch: The, Mer­ chants' association of New York, through* its board of directors, adopted resolutions calling upon the district attorney of New York'county to ascertain whether or not an indict­ ment . can be found against the offi­ cers of life insurance companies who have contributed the funds of the com­ panies to political campaign commit­ tees. > The resolutions tat part am as fol­ lows: : j',7 • "Whereas, in the judgfnent of this board the excuse offered for these pay­ ments violates every sound principle of business morality, and would jus­ tify the illegal diversion of public and private trust, funds of every descrip­ tion; and, "Whereas, The penal code provides. In substance, that any officer, direct­ or, trustee or manager of a corpora­ tion who intentionally appropriates, or causes to be appropriated, any of its funds to his own use or to that of any other person than the true own­ er or person entitled to the benefit thereof, steals such property and is guilty of larceny; and, "Whereas, This board believes that the interests of the community de­ mand that this misappropriation, if a crime, should be visited with ade­ quate punishment; that law should be enforced irrespective of the sta­ tion of the offender; and that nothing should be more operative as a check upon corrupt use of the money of cor­ porations than conviction of the of­ fender as a common thief; therefore, "Resolved, That In the opinion of this board, prompt and energetic steps should be taken by the district attor­ ney of the county of New York to as­ certain whether an Indictment can­ not be found against the presidents of such companies and other officers con­ cerned in said payments, and that it is the opinion of this board that the at­ torney general of the state should in­ stitute civil proceedings for the re­ turn of the said sums to the treasur­ ies of the respective companies."
