Answer to the Notification that HIS
Acts Are to Be Investigated.

Acts Are to Be Investigated.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-Judge Jenkins,
Of the Seventh Circuit Court of the United
States. has replied to Mr.. Boatner, chair
man Of the congressional committee recent
ly named to investigate Judge Jenkins's In
junction restraining employees OF the North
ern Pacific railroad from striking or labor
leaders from directing such strike Judge
Jenkins's letter is in response to Represent
ative Boatners notice that the committee
would like to be advised as to the Judges
desire as to appearing before the committee.
The letter covers three typewriter pages.
After reciting the terms OF the House reso-
luton, 1t says:

ment in relation TO the matter as l. may

referred to in the resolution of March 8.
am, therefore without information OF the
several matters and things therein referred
to or of the specific charges of illegalities
and abuse of the process of said court stated
to be therein contained. l am, therefore
unable to make any answer thereto.
with respect to the writS of injunction
referred TO in the resolution Of the House of
Representatives, / have the honor TO say

of the Northern Pacific railroad, only pre-
sented to the court for its order thereon.
The records of the court disclose my entire
action in the premises. l have nothing to
add thereto If your committee should de-
sire copies of such proceedings l will direct
the clerk of the court TO forward certlfied
copies thereof.
with respect to your request that l in

correctness of the orders of the court. If
/ am therein correct perceive no good pur-
pose to be served by my appearance before
your committee. If, however, the committee
is charged with the duty OF inquiring into
any charges affecting my personal or OFF,
cial integrity, / shall be glad of an oppor-
tunity, upon being Informed of such charges,
TO appear before your committee and TO
meet and refute them.'
Representative Boatner has also received
a letter from Chief Arthur, of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, in which Mr..
Arthur says he will submit list of wit
nesses to be heard by the committee From
the letter of Mr.. Arthur and from the ac-
tivity In railway labor organizations, il is
probable that the inquiry will bring to-
gether a formidable array of labor leaders
In an effort to stop judicial interference
with strikers. Mr.. Boatener left tonight
for Louisiana, to be absent for a week, and
he will make no plans as to the place or
time of beginning the inquiry until he re-
turns.

ARE BALL PLAYERS EXEMPT.
An Inspector Wants the Alien Con-
tract Labor Law Construed.

WASHINGTON, March IA letter has
been received at the immigration Bureau,
Treasury Department, from the inspector
at Buffalo, n. Y, asking for a ruling as to
whether two Canadian baseball players re-
Gently engaged to play in this country by
the Buffalo club come within the prohibi-
tions of the alien contract labor law. Until
Superintendent Stump's return to the city
no action will be taken. The Buffalo club,
it is said, contends that baseball is recog-
nized profession, and that as such the
players, under the law, are exempt.
Another case which is likely to attract
some attention is that of Charles Temple
ton, who sailed for this country from
Liverpool on the 7th inst, dnder contract,
il is believed, to serve the Young Mems
Christian Association at Des Moines, Ia,
as assistant secretary. The New York au-
thorittes have been notified to intercept Mr..
Temp!eton on his arrival and make a thor
ough examination of his case. Without
committing themselves in the matter, some
OF the treasury officials are of the opinion
that Mr.. Templeton comes within the terms
and intent of the law. and if, after full ex-
animation of the court decisions, this view
is sustained, he will be deported
