SHERIFF SHlPp FILES
 His aNSN tR.
His Attorney Take, Position That Johnson Case Was Not Appeaiable
 Io the Supreme Court.

Washington Oct. 11.-ta the sa- preme caerl= of the United sreses t5= day, the Hon. Judson Harmon filed the answer of Sheriff Shipp ot ii4m- iltoa countX, Tennessee, and nine deputies lo the charge of contempt laid by the supreme court Fl eqnna2- ton with the lyncins ill Ghattaho }sa last March Of negro named ga Johnson alter the court had granted an appeal in his ease. lLa takes the position that Johnsons case NaS pot appealab1e and that therefore the sa- preme court was without jurisdiction, but that il the court had jurisdiction, Shipp and his subordinates were not guilty. as they exercised due diligence to pervent the lynching. Shipp was in the court room, but none of his deputies were present.
 The seventeen other defendants in the case charged with participation in the iynching, also filed their an swers through attorneys, denying the
 
 act charged and asking to be dis charged from custody. One of the alleged lynchers was present in per- son.
 The court took the matter under ad- visement.
 Among those in attendance is Judge McReynolds, of the criminal court ot Hamilton county, where Johnson, the negro, who was lynched, was tried and convicted.
 Judge McReynolds said that the i'm rression that the people of Chattan- nooga condemned Sheriff Shipp ano were doubtful as to Johnson's guilt was wrong, and, on the contrary, the voters of Hamilton county stood with the sheriff He considered the ,.a-election of Sheriff Shipp by ma l 'oritv of fifteen hundred as conclusive ,yidence of how he stood in the com munity.
 l Judge McReynolds said that whel he heard of threats against Johnson 
 he tolephoned the sheriff to go tt .he jail and he was there in ten min utes afterward, but was seized ant held as soon as he arrived. Ille faci that Johnson had been in the jail ioi a week without any demonstration against him was evidence to Judge McReynolds that the sheriff antcipat ed no trouble and had TO reason tt do so.
 The judge also emphatieally denie( that the mob jeered at the name 0 Justice Harlan, of the supreme court nor was there any notice pinned ol Johnson's back addressed to Justice
 Harlan. Judge McReynolds Is warm friend of ShipD, and will assis nin to the extent of his ability.

1t is quite evident that the develop ment of railroad facilities during the last few years has not kept pace with the country's demands. This is dem- onstrated by the serious congestion of traffic in all parts of the country in spite of extreme exertions by the rail- roads to overcome present conditions. Our railroads have recently spent vast sums for improvements and ter- minal facilities. They have also been practically reconstructed as to road bed and rolling stock. It seems quite certain, therefore, that very con- siderable expansion of mileage must be expected until our traffic system is brought up to public requirements. This means continued activity in one of our leading industries-that of iron and steel. The development of electricity as motive power is also and copper. What the effect of the continued heavy production of gold, likely to be greatly augmented. will be remains to be seen. There Is al- ready much imitation in both security and commodity values. and the in- creased production of gold will tend to accelerate rather than retard this tendency.

Friends of the colored troops of the Twenty-f1fth infantry who were dishonorably discharged from the army by order of the president a short time ago. have retained a Washington lawyer to fight for their reinstatement and the restoration of their civil rights on the ground that the dismissal was unconstitutional in that 1t violates the fifth amendment to that document. This amendment declares that no person shall be de- prived of life. liberty or property without due process of law, and the attorney claims the president vio- lated this clause in dismissing them without a trial by court martial. It is also pointed out that 1t Is the duty of company commander. when he finds the service of a soldier is not honest and faithful to notify the sol dier at least thirty days before his discharge. and that the regulations require an enlisted man must be given a hearing before a board of officers in every case of alleged viola tion of the rules of the army

General trade continues very &C., tive. says Banker Clewes. Perhaps the most striking feature in all de- partments Is the comparative scarcity of goods. crude or finished.
