LIGHT SENTENCES IMPOSED. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyrigh t. VIENNA, March 24. Seventeen Austrian Socialists hava been sentenced to from six weeks to 20 months’ imprisonment, and 13 acquitted, following an eight days’ trial for high treason, because they attempted to re-organise a proscribed Socialist Party.
