HALLOCK IS HELD RIGHT
CINCINNATI. Feb. 17. John H. Pat
terson. President of the National Cash
Register Company, of Dayton. O., was
sentenced today to serve one year in
the county jail at Troy. O.. and to pay
a flue of 15000 for violation of the
Sherman anti-trust law. To 22 other
officials and employes of the company
were given Jail sentences varying from
three months to one year and they
were ordered to pay the oosts of prose
cution.
The sentences were pronounced after
United States Judge Hollister had
soored the defendants bitterly for their
business methods, which he declared
were needless In a concern where mil
lions could have been legitimately
made and without violation of the law.
Government Pwer Emphasized.
Closing, he declared:
"The Government Is strong enough
to protect Its people, whether this pro
tection extends to the transportation
of dynamite across the land for the
purpose of blowing up bridges or the
laying of the hands upon men who seek
to stifle competition by Illegal business
methods.
The sentences Imposed were:
George Kdgeter. of Dayton, secretary
of the company, was iriven the lightest
sentence, of three months. William
Blppus, treasurer; Alfred A. Thomas, of
Dayton, and Jonathan B. Hay ward, of
?ew Tork, were given nine months In
Jail.
The following were sentenced to one
year:
Edward A. Deeds. Dayton, vice-presl
dent: William H. Muzzy. Dayton: Wil
liam Plum, Dayton; Robert Patterson,
directors; Thomas J. Watson, sales
manager: Joseph. F. Rogers, assistant
sales manager; Alexander C. Harned,
salesman: Frederick S. High, district
manager, Boston: Pllnv Eves, district
manager. San Francisco: Arthur A.
Wentx, Columbus: George F. Morgan
Dayton: Charles T. Walrasley, Chicago;
Charles A. Snyder. Klizabeth, N. J.
Walter Cool. Denver; Myer N. Jacobs,
Pittsburg: Mont L. Lasley, Detroit
Karl B. Wilson, Los Angeles; Alexander
W. Sinclair, New York; John J. Range,
Washington: M. G. Keith. New Tork
William Cummlngs, Brooklyn: J. C.
Laird, Toronto; W. C. Howe. San Fran
clsco, and E. H. Epperson, Minneapolis.
Edgetrr Goes Free.
Upon the concurrence of District At
torney McPheraon, Judge Hollister set
aside the judgment In the case of
George A Edgerer. Edgeter bad not
been connected with the cash register
company In the time fixed In the In
dictment.
A motion for arrest of Judgment was
made on the grounds that the Sher
man law Is unconstitutional in so far
as It attempts to create offenses and
Impose penalties. The' motion also
charged that the Sherman law con
flicted with the provisions of the sixth
amendment that in all criminal prose
cutions the accused shall enjoy the
right to be Informed of the nature and
cause of the accusations against blm,
and that it conflicts with the tenth
amendment. In that the averments of
the court were vague and Indefinite.
Following a notice of an appeal to
the Circuit Court of Appeals the bond
of president Patterson was fixed at
110.000, twice Its former amount. The
other bonds were left at $5000.
Jnd;e Lectures Defendants.
Nine of the convicted men were sen
tenced with President Patterson to the
Miami county jail at Troy, ten were
sentenced to the county Jail in Day
ton and eight In the neighboring Jail
at Lebanon, warren County.
Referring to the sentences passed on
the employes. Judge Hollister said
"I know that a large salary will
tempt many men to engage In a busi
ness such as was conducted by this
company, and I feel that the thought
of their families led many of these
men to work as they did. knowing
that a. large compensation awaited
them. This excuses but does not Just
lfy. You men belong to the walk of
life which should set the example. Yet
you have lost the opportunity given
you by the methods you pursued. In
your desire for gain you forgot every
thing else. .. .
Mr. Patterson declined to make any
comment upon the sentences.

Legislator From Sonthern Oregon
Defends Theory of Scientist and
Xone Doubts Trnth.
STATE CAPITAL, Salem, Or., Feb. 17
(Special.) "When Cain started forth
In his rovlngs over the world, after
slaying Abel, he would naturally select
a spot wherein to settle similar to that
of his nativity," emphatically declared
Senator W. Lair Thompson, of Crook,
Klamath and Lake Counties, today, in
talking with several other legislators
about Professor Charles Hallock s
theory, as set forth In his report to
the Peabody Museum at Harvard.
The thought never occurred to me
before In that exact connection, but I
am satisfied that Professor Hallock Is
right. Cain selected, as his abiding
place, the Garden of Eden of the con
tinent which, of course. Is South Cen
tral Oregon. He found Crater Lake.
2000 feet deep and 2000 feet from the
top of the crater to the surface of the
lake. He found Wood Klver vaney,
fed by streams of limpid water, alive
with fish and all this In a country
flowing with milk and honey and of
most delightful climate. Why, gentle
men. all these things are there yet.
"I haDDen to represent this district
wherein. I am satisfied now, Cain found
his final abiding place. Professor Hal.
lock's theory cannot be otherwise man
correct and I am satisfied that It was
in the Klamath country that the world
nlii storv of this man seeking ont a
new country for his family and himself
was enacted and it was there that cam
located the City of Enoch, Just as Pro
fessor Hallock says he did."
Nobody disputed Senator Tnompson.
"Silence gives consent." said he.
They all know what I say is true."

Mr. Riley. M. G. Munly, C. S. Jackson

bill granting the right to Multnomah
County to Issue bonds for construction
of the bridge Is soon to come up for
consideration. Inasmuch as the bill has
been before the joint committees of the
House and Senate on highways, it is
likely that the bill probably will not
have to go to committee unless it be
for the sake of formal Inspection.
