The finul episode in the trial of (iraee Lusk, convicted t" the murder of Jlrs. Alnry Newman Roberts, wife of the former Wisconsin state veterin arian, was enacted hero yesterday afternoon, when Judtre Martin Lueck sentenced the former school mistress lo 19 years iinprisonmtnt at hurd la bor, in the Wisconsin state neniten tinry at Waupun. Sentence was nro nounccd after a committee of union ists appointed by the court had exam ined Miss -Lusk and pronounced her si. no. She will he taken to prison to morrow, provided she recovers from the collapse she suffered when sen tence was pronounced. 1 In pronouncing: sentence 1 he court delivered a severe arraignment both !of Miss Lusk and of Dr. David liob orts, whoe intimacy with Miss Litsk extended over a period of a year and led to the murder in June, 1!I17, of his wife by the woman sentenced today. "You and Dr. Roberts assailed so ciety :it its most sensitive and vul nerable point," the court said, "You nsailcd the home and neither of yon had any rifrht to deprive Mrs. Roberts of those rights that became hers "when Dr, Roberts took her as bis wife. "Smile circumstances in this can cast greater blame upon Dr. Roberts than upon von. Still you had no Tiffht to yield. You were experienced; in the world. You had a -ood educn-: lion, and I do not believe that in this case (be minimum sentence provided by the law meets llic situation. Your offense demands more punishment. "Hut you do not deserve the ntix imuin sentence either, because of the lilainc attaching to the acts of Dr. Roberts. Men of his type should be. discouraged. The medium is diffi cult to determine what is fair to you and riht toward society. It is h question difficult of solution, and pie best I can do is to make an bon iest guess," As the sentence was pronounced Miss Lusk, who bad been standing lit the court rail, collapsed into the hrms of her attorney and was car ried from the room unconscious. T(- aiiht she was in a .hyslcr.icnJ condi- ion, and it seemed doubtful whether fhe could be taken to rison tonior uv, as planned. NEW YORK, June Ifl. An appnr lent attempt to lay the foundation for the defense for Jeremiah O Leary, the Sinn Fein leader, charged with conspiracy to commit treason, wyis made in the federal courts todav during the trial of his brother, John rwho is charged with aiding the form er editor of "Hull," to escape. Arthur Lyons, Jeremiah's "travel ling companion" on the trip west, who named government witness, dcserih mi him as "verv restless and nervous" pvitb no fixed mental condition. Called "Harry Thaw" When Jan'S R. Speer, a New York lawyer, win occupies offices with Jeremiah O Leary, was asked on the stand his opinion of Jcrcmiuh mental static, he replied that ''Ik looked upon him as a replica of llar rv Thaw." He fore he was placed in bis cell. Juremiah told newspaper men that he had six weeks rest, adding that h needed it, as he was "in pretty bad shape." Details of Jeremiah's filgbt were told in court. After slating that there never was any ngrccment or understanding between Jeremiah nnd John O'Leary, that the former was running awav from the jurisdiction of the court, Lyons asserted that Jeremiah had asked him on May 3 to accompany him to Reno, Nev., to try a divorce case. WASHINGTON", Juno 19. Presi dent Wilson is being strongly urged to recognize and aid the bo v let gov ernment of Russia. Members 0$ Ambassador Francis staff have lately returned and mado semi-confidential reports to the state department. The burden of all Is the same that good will come from recognizing the soviet government; that delay in doing so can only serve the purposes of German intrigue. Failure to co-operate with the soviet the only existing government in Russia they report, helps the Gorman plan, to foster reaction and counter-revolution. Arguments Mado The soviet government is admitted ly representative of 90 per cent ot the Russian people. The other ten per cent Is tho former propertied and governing class. These are now prac tically disfranchised. They are also dispropertied. Naturally they are dis pleased. They are using all their Influence to overthrow tho soviet and bring about some form of government that will restore their wealth and power. With this element, the ex-rich and ex-nobles, Germany is plotting. The fact that Germany has not lived up to the terms ot; the Brest Litovsk. treaty which was made by the soviet government has embittered tho soviet and the mass of tho Rus sian people-. They are more anti-Ger man today than they havo been for many months, and it is urged on our ;overnment that we should take ad vantage of this opportunity to show our good wil for the Russian democ racy and help brace up its attempts at government, In order that all this in fluence may he held on the sido of the allies. A recently returned official put the matter this way: Kct uriied Official Talks "If we do nothing. that is, If wo just let things drift we help weaken tho Russian soviet government. And that plays Germany's game. 'If we encourage counter revolu tion, as the "Hrltlsli were tempted to do, wo play tho German game. Ger many is heart and soul with the pro perty-owning class In their desire to overthrow tho Bolshevik! experiment in economic revolution. On the other hand, if we help the Russians now we will be doing more to keep the Ger mans busy on the eastern front than we could by sending a million sol diers." What Russia needs, it is explained, Is financial help. The whole machinery ot business has collapsed. Thore Is neither credit now money and even primitive barter has largely lapsed. The result Is stagnation and star vation where there is food almost within reach. A commission armed with credit and good business advice could help much. And any official encourage ment from our government would mean much more. Finally It is urged that the soviet Is the de facto government of Russia, It was given six weeks to live when it came into existence; it has lasted over seven months. There Is nothing to indicate that If may not go on In definitely. AUSTRIA SATISFIED AMSTERDAM, June 19. An edl tlon of the Vienna Kremclenblatt re celved in Amsterdam contains on In terview with Huron Harlan, tho Aus-tro-Hungarlan foreign minister, in re ply to a recent speech by Viscount Slllnor, the British secretary of war. Baron Burian charges that Viscount iMIIner is making efforts to divide the Billed central powers, hut says his attempts will go unrewarded. "Tho 'German yoka," " say liaron Burian, "for Austria is the yoke of mutual, rork-llke friendship and has complete considers :lon for tho inter ests of both parties." WASHINGTON', Juno 19. Con gross is to bo asked by the war de partment for an appropriation to pro vide training facilities in this conn try for forces other than American troops.

Sa.-kinu of the American hopi.-.il at Tahri:'., IVrsia, and seiciire of the American and ltritish consulates there hy in vading Turkish troops whs reported t- the state department today by the' American minister at Teheran. If the report as it reached the min- ; ister is officially confirmed, the out-; rnges may he con.-uicrcd an net ot war and settle the ionj pendinir t Men tion of whether the Ottoman allies of Germany should lie formally lifted anions America's enemies. Accordini; 'to today's reports the Turks sacked the hospital over the protest of the Spanish consul, in charge as representative of American interests anil in defiance of the Span ish Hay: llyini; over the liuildinir. Tho hospital at Tabriz is a Presby terian, missionary Institution cstaa lislied several years ago. Many Amer ican doctors and nurses have been Hlatloned there, but for several mouths tho situation has been so ser ious that tho force has .been greatly I reduced and a few days ago it was re ported to tho slate department that the last American had gone. There have been vigorous demands In congress from time to time for declarations for a stuto of war be- i'tween the I'nited States and Turkey and Uulgarla. President Wilson and the state department, however, havo not regarded this step as neewssary or desirable. William Davenport, the new super- lutendent of the Med ford schools, is expected to arrive in the city July 1st with his wife and children from Park itiver, X. D. MAY YOKK, June IS. Officials of the IVcshylcrinn board of foreign missions here today identified the American hospital sacked by Turk ish troops at Tabriz, Persia, as I he Coltou Memorial hospital which wa endowed by a Philadelphia family of that name nnd established several years ago through the Presbyterian board.
