The stay of execution was granted in appeal to the United States circuit court i of appeals for a writ of error. Motions for a, new trial and for arrest of Judg . ment were denied. Before sentence was Imposed Robert T. Devlin for the defense argued at length that should the sentence exceed one year. It lay In the discretion of the court to designate a state or a county Jail, rather than a federal penitentiary. Judge Van Fleet, said he was In some .doubt as to his powers In that matter and would be glad to listen. Accordingly It came as a surprise, after San Quentln penitentiary had been designated, when Devlin requested the court to amend tho sentence to specify the federal penitentiary on McNeil's Is land, Washington. Judge Van Fleet ruled that tho sentence as originally pronounced must stand, bur) added "that he was willing application for' a7thnW should mid to. the- Depart menVot UTfWtee"ot Washington;' - ' .MaxlmtttH Penalty fteary.

The offenso charged was that the pris oners transported Marsha Warrington nd Lola Norrls from Sacramento to Reno for Immoral purposes. Both girls testified for tho prosecution and both wives' for their husbands. At no time .did the defense attempt to deny that the acts charged had been committed. Its effort was to show that thero had been no criminal Intent, that the- elopement to Reno was an "esca pade," to which the men and the girls alike were drlyen by fright of scandal, and the threats of their families.

WELSH. Local Forecaster England Threatened With Most Serious Strike in Its History LONDON, Sept. 17.-Kngland Is threat ened with the most serious strike of union labor In Its history, according to union leaders here today. The trouble began with the lockouts of large numbers of workmen last week In Dublin In consequence of a strike of transport workers Because of tho employ ment of non-union laborers. Rumblings of discontent have since been heard throughout the entire labor community of the British Isles, but thus far erup tions havo occurred only In the larger cities. The sympathetic strike of the Liver pool dockers and of railroad workers there and at Birmingham has already stopped the three great trunk railways serving the Midland counties of England, and the Manchester Ship Canal company also Is contendlg with a strike of dock laborers for better wages. At Liverpool seven" of the great freight depots were Idle this morning and others are likely soon to be closed for want of traffic. In Ireland, too. all attempts have failed to settle the Dublin trouble, which was the direct cause of tho developments at Liverpool and Birmingham. The diffi culty of getting provisions Into the Irish capital has becbmji so great that It Is believed the markets will have to close their doors. London has been affected only Indi rectly by strikes on the railroads In the Midland. Tho metropolis Is most directly Interested In the threatened strike of motor omnibus drivers because the em ployers refuse to all 4' employs to wear union badges. Tho nn held a meeting today and passed a resolution In favor of a strike which would tie up all the motor omnibuses and tube lines In Lon don. Labor members of Parliament declare that the trouble In Dublin, London and elsewhero has been caused by the deter mination of the employers to challenge the rlchts of labor to organize.

Should the ruling of Commissioner Pool stand It will necessitate extra help In all of the smalt exchanges, making a greater operating expense to the exchange and necessitating a raise In rates, according to the contention of the telephone people who want the attorney ginerol to rule on the matter.

THREATS OF THE GOVERNOR Had Declared He Would Make Mem bers of the Assembly Smart for Turnlnor Down Ills Direct .Primary Measure, NEW YORK, Sept. 17,-The Impeach ment of Governor Sulcer and his fight for direct primary reform played an Im portant part In yesterday's democratic primaries In New York state. The gov ernor's friends maintained that these Is sues were responsible for the defeats the regular democratic organisation suffered tn several localities. In Buffalo and Rochester, the largest cities outside of New York, the regular democratic organizations which lined up with Tammany hall In the SuUer Im peachment fight, were' badly beaten. In Albany county former State Committee man McCabe, clerk of the senate, a firm Tammany adherent, came so neardefeat that the party leadership may remain In doubt until the official count. In New York City the Sulser Issue was not apparent. Only one of the democratic district leaders was unhorsed and this contest was purely local. Sulzer's threat to make the democratlo assemblymen smart for defeating his di rect primary measure was recalled today when primary returns showed that four of the assemblymen who voted against this measure and for his Impeachment were defeated for renomlnatlon In Buf falo. All five democratic nominees for assemblymen In Monroe county, which In cludes Rochester, were designated by the opponents of Tammany hall. Only one of Monroe's five representatives In the as sembly at present Is a democrat. The primaries held by tho other parties had no state wide feature "to distinguish tbem.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-The house today adopted an amendment to tho ad. ministration currency bill limiting th federal reserve banks In their loan ac tivities to transactions with the govern ment.

All were agreed that the maker of the bomb lived In this district because the package containing the bomb was placed In a parcel post box In the downto'wn section and carried to postofflce station C, which handles mall for the greater portion of the business district and a large section of the east side. The dynamite used In the Infernal ma chine was that extremely high-powered explosive known as "85 per cent" the same as was used by James B.

The legal limit for explo sives In Los Angeles county Is 40 per cent nltro, and police and county offi cials directed efforts today to learning what purchases of 85 per cent dynamite had been made at powder factories re cently.

HANS SCHMIDT ROBS GUEST AND EASTER COLLECTION PLATE Police Say Former Priest is Thief in Addition to Being Murderer and Counterfeiter. PRIEST'S PURSE FOUND IN ROOK Four Hundred Dollars Taken from St Joseph's Collection. PRISONER IS PERFECTLY SANE New York Offioials Say that Girl's Slayer is Strong Mentally. PROBABLE MOTIVE FOR MURDER Phyalclan'Snya fUrl Had Threatened to Kill Schmidt Net la Tight ening Arnnnd Dentist Muret. 1 NEW YORK, Sept 17 Two more crimen took their placo today on the po lice record ot Hans' Schmidt, the priest, who already has confessed that he mur dered Anna Aumuller and that he was n, counterfeiter. In ransacking Schmidt's rooms detectives found evidence that Schmidt had stolen (400 from tho Easter collection of St Joseph's church and that ho had robbed a visiting priest who spent tho night at St Joseph's rectory as a guest of tho local clergy. An empty piirso found In Schmidt's rooms today proved to bo ono which the vlsltln priest lvad lost not long ago. Schmidt still Insisted today that neither1 Ernest A. Muret, his dentist friend, nor Anna Aumuller, the girl ho murdered. knew anything about his counterfeiting operations. In reply to a written ques tion, sent to his cell, he wrote: "Anna knew nothing of my plans to, solvo tho social question by creating money for all the poor people here and abroad." Schmidt maintains ha made bogus money from philanthropic motives only. Tho police havo not abandonod hops, of finding the head ot the Aumuller girl. Today they investigated a gruesome story about a solitary fisherman who;, hooked something heavy lost night In the North river. Just as the supposed catch was gearing tha surface it dropped off tho hook, leaving a long human hair, said to resemble tn color the hair ot Anna Aumuller; . Detectives Investigating Schmidt's rec ord learned this afternoon that he had rented another apartment at X62 Eighth avenue, under the name ot Jacob Schnel 0r lrat,atietlr!5 aed n September B. three .days alter tha nitfr "of 'W8AUrnuf&r "tfitU in 'Hi rooms the police found clothing belong ing to the iprlest and come .women's wearing apparel.

Gathering up the loose ends of the evi dence that connects Schmidt with the milking of spurious money has been be gun by detectives under Inspector Jo soph Faurot Facta being brought to light in this search show that Schmidt has been a man of varied activities. Everything In the rooms occupied by Schmidt in the rectory ot St Joseph's church, where ho was assistant rector, havo been seized, and today the work ot translating the contents ot letters and documents found .

Inspector Faurot hopes through 4hls masa ot correspondence to learn definitely many things concerning Schmldt'a his tory that will throw light on his mas querading as Dr. Emll Mollere. The manner In which tha body ot Anna Au muller was dismembered leads the de tectives to believe that Schmidt may have practiced medicine at some time In his career. Schmidt's familiarity with photography and, his knowledge of h-' graving are other points the police wilt seek to weavo Into titer evidence to present In tho event that tha priest pleads In sanity at his trial for the murder of Anna' Aumuller, No man of Schmidt's varied pursuits could be Insane, the de tectives say, and they look upon htm as a criminal with a master mind,; a man trained In many things which he turned to account In his operations.
