IN the order of United States Circuit
Judge Morrow must purge themselves
Of contempt without further technical
tiles. Such was the decision of Judge
c. Z. Wolverton yesterday.
Some weeks ago Judge Morrow issued
a restraining order prohibiting the de-
PENDANTS from interfering with the
business or the vessels of the Hammond
Lumber Company, either as the Sailors
Union or as individuals. Complaint
was made that the injunction had been
violated and H. w. Hutton, attorney
for the union, interposed legal objec-
tions in the form of a demurrer Judge
Wolverton overruled the demurrer and
allowed ten days to show cause why
they should not be punished for con-
tempt
.'The case does not seem ripe for
final determination at this juncture"
said the court. The defendants are
demurring to the petition as though
the issues were not settled. They Of
fered no evidence in refutation of the
charges, so that the matter cannot be
determined now"
The court denied the motion to quash
the proceedings against Furuseth, a
motion made on the ground that many
of the facts in the complaint alleging
contempt had been obtained from him
while testifying in a suit in the State
courts. The court said that there were
other acts tending to prove contempt.

IL
fourteen you must make two by cards
in either hearts or no trumps to get
out. but you are just as well off at
fourteen as you would be at sixteen.
because at either score it will take you
two by cards at no-trumps or hearts,
or three by cards in diamonds to get
the game.
If you cannot safely reach eighteen
from the point at which your score
stands do not risk anything to get to
sixteen, but be content with a safe
declaration which will take you to
fourteen. If were ten up I would
sooner call clubs with a certainty of get
ting the odd than 1 would call diamonds
with a chance of losing it, because
clubs will take me to fourteen or eight
cen, and I have no use for sixteen. If
there is a chance that you can get to
twenty-five or twenty-four with one
declaration, and would probably stop at
eighteen with another. it is worth the
risk to try and get on.t
