GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION.
Question Considered by the House
Judiciary COMMITTEES.


Al WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The issue
which was known in the last president
laI campaign as government by in
junction" was the subject of debate
by the house committee on judiciary
today The committee has before it a
substitute for the bill which passed the
senate last June, dividing contempts
of court into direct and indirect classes,
and permitting trials by jury in the
latter cases. This substitute is not so
sweeping in character as the senate
bill, and the sentiment of the COM
n1fttee seemed to be to restrict still
further its scope. There was a. gen.
eral expression, however, to the effect
that United States courts showed a
tendency to strain their jurisdiction on
the ground of contempt to the point
of infringement on the right of trial
by jury, and a bill probably will be
reported.

competent to arrange for a good old
fashioned parade with fantastic Jig
adier-Brind1e' and comical rank and
file, has been proven upon more than
one occasion.
There was one thing first to be done,
and it was performed without skip, the
appointment of a Committee on 'Horri-
bles' to wait upon the General Commit
tee at the meeting to be held tonight
and ask that at least $500 be set aside
to be used by the Horrible Committee
to insure a successful pageant.
The committee appointed by the
Chairman was as follows: A. Dittmar

Harry Holmes, J. T. Cecil and w. Whit

the Chairman, Trustee henl.
