~ ~ HOUSESMITHS of the New Union, Is Arrested at the Instigation of Sam Parks’s Friends. %. B. Hammond, president of the New York Housesmiths’ Union, was arrested to-day, charged with interfering with the men at work on the new hotel at Broadway and Twenty-ninth street. He ‘Was overcome by the iron workers on the building after a ijively fight and held until the arrival of a policeman from the Tenderloin station. Boon after the ironworkers started swork to-day Hammond appeared. He showed his card to the man on guard Bt the entrance and was allowed to pass, Almost all the men at work on the building were former supporters of Sam Parks, and they have not been friendly to the new union started by the em- ployers. Hammond demanded one after another to show his card, und many did so Brudgingly. It was not until he ap- Proached William Smith that there was trouble. “I want to see your working card,” Hammond demiunded. “Who are you?" asked Smith, Hammond slic id uot make the Nety wores py men until He ached in his back Docket and drew, his revolver, It, Is gaid, Three trou wor leaped on his back id wrenched the weapon from his and.

Machen, the Groff Brothers and Dr, and Mrs. Lorenz on the charge of con- piracy to defraud the Government In connection with the sale of letter-box fasteners was completed to-day ‘The jury {s compoxed of thé following: John Cocker, blacksmith; Carl Peter- sen, Jeweller; Douglas Markiam, gar- dener; W. 0. Berryman, — printer; Charles E, West, hardware dealer; W. P, Cannon, railroad man; Clarence Bradburn, clerk; Holley L. Herrell, lum- ber dealer; Jolin F. Gerhold, barber; Roache Abel, druggist; 1. E, Clements, grocer; David Wetzel, retired. Following the swearing in of the Jurors counsel for defendants moved that the Government elect on which count the trial would proceed, District- Attorney Beach opposed the motion on the ground that the Government was not required to do so. Judge’ Pritchard sald he would not rule on this point until after the evidence was in. } paired by er DRIGGS FINED $10,000 IN A ROW ROW ACMI] AND GETS A DAY IN JAIL Nthis Time Fedsent: Hammond, Postal Fraud Conviction Bars Ex-Congressman| from Ever Again Holding Office Unner Federa Edmund H, Driggs, former Democratic Congressman from Brooklyn, who was convicted last week of having used his official position to advance the sale of automatic cashier machines to the Post- Office Department, was to-day fined $10,000 and sentenced to one day's im- prisonment in Raymond Street Jall by Judge Thomas in the United States Cir- euit Court in Brooklyn Drigge, who was very much affected by his position, had to stand and listen to a long address by the Court before sentence was imposed. As soon as he learned his fate his counsel handed a certified check for $10,000 to the clerk of the court and Driggs, accompanied by a United States marshal, started for the jail, where he will be obliged to stay until 4 o'clock this afternoon. Shortly before noon Driggs and his lawyer, Hugo Hirsch, entered the court- room. United States District-Attorney Youngs and his assistant, Mr. Chat- field, who conducted the prosecution, were already there, and as soon as Driggs was seated Judge Thomas took his place on the berch. Without any preliminaries Driggs was ordered to rise and advance to tho bar, Judge ‘Thomas then said: Judge to Prisoner, “1 would that a sense of propriety bad made this offense impossible even with- out the constraint of the statute, whose wholesomencss and deterrent spirit are clear, notwithstanding some imperfec- tions of phraseology. “The provisions of the statute deprive you of the capacity to hold office under the National Govermnent. Tho signifi- cance of the disfranchisement will not be apprehended by persons of inferior sensibility, but its magnitude and the fine that will be imposed exclude fitness of a larger imprisonment than that exacted by the law. A just fine will leave you no benefit of the under- taking. Indeed a man of honorable feel- ‘ng, although he has erred, would abhor the retention of what came to him fl- legaliy, and I believe that such will be your attitude. “Phere are those who do not think well of kindliness in judicial utterance on occasions like this. ‘They confuse harshness with firmness and mistake severity of speech for forceful adminis- tration of the law. They consider that the offense wipes away all beauty of character and excellence of citizenship. 1 do not underestimate the duty or value of plain speaking, but in my view the digrity.of the court and the efficacy of punishment are not diminished by civility or even benignity toward one whose worth of character, however in- 2 real possession that may forev Judged xist. by Whole Career. “The heart and judgment of society, BRONCHITIS FROM BIRTH.
