not binding upon anyone outside this
Jurisdiction nor upon any defendants
not properly before the court at the
time she restraining order was made.
He announced that the wording OF
the order should be so that those acting
for the defendants outside OF the Dis
trict OF Columbia Jurisdiction might not
be amenable to the United States stat
utes which give Jurisdiction both over
persons and subject-matter 10 the local
courts where II is evident that the in
junctive order has been violated.

bia, at the instigation, suggestion. or
order of parties in the District of Co
Iunbia, violate the courts order while

Calls II Tribute to Cleveland.
Cleveland's name for delegate was

I think" s-id Mr.. Davis. in making
his announcement. that it would be
good judgment and a fitting tribute 70

Some Of The more enthusiastic backers
Of this scheme see even more in Il

with the showing that can be made

engineered.
May Nominate Grover.
Cleveland. they say. may stampede
