RECRUITS
BARRED FROM
MILITIA CAMP
March 81 of Each Year Fixed by
Governor as Enlistment
Time Limit.

4 The State Military Board has adopted
tise in some regiments of enlisting men
just before the summer encampnent or
just prior to army maneuvers, and fol-
lowing this resolution an order was
issued yesterday by Governor Fort, as
commander-in-chief of the New Jersey
division of the National Guard. that no
more men be accepted who originally
enlist after March 81 OF any year.
This brings the State militia in con
formity with the orders of the regular
army, where the officers discovered
that raw recruits from the States made
havoc of all attempts to teach them
camp life, because they did not have
the rudiments of military training. Ac-
cordingly the regular army ordered no
more men from the States to the camp
unless they had been enlisted at least
six months prior to the encampment.
There have been in the past heavy
enlistments of men In companies just
prior to camp each summer. This order
will stop that.
Another order issued yesterday from
Acknowledgement Breintnalfs office is
as follows: General orders No AZ. cur
rent series from this office. is hereby
amended so as to read as follows:

will be appointed and commissioned of

ties of inspectors and assistant in

Youth, Confused by CrOss-Ex-

Statements on Stand.

FLUSHING, N. Y, Dec. ga SEN
sational incident punctuated the trial
of Thornton ]. Hams today when Law
yer John f. Mcintyre, for the defense,
asked the court to commit for perjury
Martin Skura, a eabman, who had
taken the stand as the first witness Nof
the day. After Skura had given his
direct testimony and when he said that
Thornton Hams had asked him to
drive behind the stage carrying Mrs.
lAnnis and that one of the brothers had
said We've got him now he was
subjected to a severe crosS-eXamination
by Hains's counsel.
Mr.. Mcintyre asked the witness IL
he had not signed a statement prepared
by Joseph Shay and Eugene Young, of
counsel for the defense, in which he
stated that there was no conversations
in the cab and Mr.. Annis's name was
never mentioned. Skura, frightened and
confused, declared he had made the
statements, but that they were false.
Mr.. Mcintyre moved that the 1S-year-
old cabman be committed for perjury.
Justice Crane said he would take no
action pending a further examination
of the witness.
District Attorney Darrin then drew
from the witness that he had made
the statement believing the lawyers to
be reporters, and that If he had told
the truth 1t would hav been printed
in the newspapers and he would have
gotten into difficulties with Mr.. Darrin.
When recess was taken Justice Crane
declined a motion to have Skura placed
in the custody of an officer aVd sent
the boy out for his lunch unattended.
The States case nears its close. Dis
trict Attorney Darrin said that he
hoped all the prosecutions witnesses
could be heard before an adjournment
is taken over Christmas until Satur-
day. The wives of three n the mem
bers of the Bayside Yacht Club are
under subpoena, and may be called by
the State today to tell of incidents in
which Mr.. Annls participated previous

SPEECH, SAYS MORRISON
Arguments on Appeal Not Like
ly to Be Heard Until March

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-The Whp!e
tempt of court of President Gompers
V~ice.President Mitchell and Secretary
Morrison, of the American Federation
of Labor. by Justice Wright In the
Supreme Court of the District of Co
lumbia, yesterday, will be threshed over
at q meeting of the executive council
of the federation to be held in this city
on January II next.
This meeting, while q regularly
scheduled one, will be notable I'M
doubtedly because of the vital issues
affecting labor involved in the action
of the court.
Resolutions sustaining the attitude OF
the leaders of the big organization,
with its thirty thousand odd councils
and two millions of members, Will be
submitted for action, and the policy OF
the federation, in view of the courts
action and scathing arraignment car
ried in the decision will be outlined.
President Gompers was not at MS
office today. Secretary Morrison was
at the federation headquarters, how
rsver.
Active steps in the framing of the
fight against the carrying out of the
sentences are not likely until next week
and Secretary Morrison said today the
plan so far as the officials of the FEEDER
alton themselves forsee is to do moth
ing about it until after the holidays.
I'VE purpose" he said, ito exhaust
every effort to sustain u right to a
free press and free speech. l believe,
and I am confident, that the position
taken by the federation Is right ana
that the citizens of this country will
ratify the attitude of the federation In
this matter. I believe that they will
give to the trades unionists the same
rights and privileges that are being
accorded to trades unionists in Great
Britain, as provided for by the trades
dispute.-act adopted about W years
ago."
1t Is not likely that arguments on the
appeal will be heard In the Court of APP
peals of the District of Columbia until
March, and perhaps not then. The de-
PENDANTS have forty days in which to
perfect their appeal, and upon a proper
showing the court in ITS discretion may
extend the time. 1t is mandatory, how
ever, that the appeal bond must be
filed within twenty days.

LOCAL LABOR IS
STANDING BY THE

Pass Resolutions of Sympathy
in the Cases of Gompers, Nor
risOn and Mitchell.

Every labor organization man In this
city is deeply interested in the jail e
tence imposed upon Samuel Gompers,
John Mitchell and Frank Morrison,
three of the most prominent men In the
American Federation of Labor. They
do not understand how Justice Wright
could have arrived at such a decision
in view OF the alleged fact that the
Buck Stove and Range Company vio-
lated its agreement as part of the Ma
tionar Founders Association to settle
their difficulties with the Buffers and
Polishers' Union.
The two central labor bodies in this
vicinity, namely, the Essex Trades
Council and the Building Trades Coun-
Gil. last night adopted resolutions OF
sympathy for the leaders of the Ameri>
can Federation of Labor, and also Of
fering them their moral and financial
support.
Copies Of the resolution were sent to
the headquarters OF the American
Federation of Labor in Washington,
ID. C, last night.
No further action will be taken until
1t is learned what the executive coun-
ell of the American Federation of Labor
intends to do in the matter.
Some Of the labor men at the meet
ings wanted to hold mass meetings to
protest against the sentences. but the
majority ruled that it would be better
TO wait for a week or so first.
1t is not the first time that Samuel
Gompers has been threatened with inn
prisonment. About twelve years ago,
when the c~igarmakers in New York
were on strike, n of the judges of the
court in that city announced that he
would send any person TO jail who con-
tributed any money to the strikers
support.

in Washington at the time, heard

York, contributed S. 70 the strikers
