PAGE COHVICTEDi SERIOUS CHARGE Sentenced to Prison and Fined for Criminal Libel.

(National Kewi Association) WASHINGTON, May 29. Henry W. Page, convicted of criminally libeling the house Judiciary committee was today sentenced In criminal court to five years in the penitentiary and fined $1,000 and then placed on probation. A formal motion for a new trial was made and overruled. Page will sail for England next Wednesday. Henry W, A. Page Is a British subject born In England. He has lived in New York for twenty years, where he is known as an importer of cotton and linen. The eTent that led Page to Issue his bitter diataribe against the members of the judiciary committee had its inception in New York in March, 1907, when a decree of separation was issued in favor of Mrs. Jeanie France Page, giving her the custody of their three children. Page appealed the decree to the supreme court, finally taking the matter to the appellate division where it was upheld, despite the fact that he sought to prove that his wife was a drunkard and an unfit person to care for the children. Page next appealed to the judiciary committee of then house at Washington, on the grounds that the constitution was being violated in the courts of New York state. He also appealed to the British embassy. In support of his plea, Page mailed to the members of the house of rep resentatives a pamphlet embossed with a mourning edge and entitled "The Death of Liberty.' In this mem orial he told the representatives that "contempt for and violation of the constitution of the United States has been shown by the legislative and judicial officers of the state of New York." He called it a shame to America and a disgrace to civilization. When the memorial failed to produce action, he sent out circulars which form the basis for the present action and wrote an abusive letter to Representative Henry D. Clayton, formerly chairman of the judiciary committee of the house of representaUves The indictment says the pamphlet had the effect of working "great personal scandal, ridicule and disgrace" to Representative Clayton. The penalty for criminal libel may be a fine of $1,000 or five years imprisonment, or both. The "Doo Needed Air. A terrible automobile accident occurred at the square the other evening.
