GOMPERS ON The STAND
Taking of Testimony in Alleged Con-
---. tempt Case.

Washington, Sept. 18.-The taking
of testimony in the Gompers- Mitchell
Morrison alleged contempt case in
connection with the Buck Stove and
Range company anti-boycott proceed
ings against those officers of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor was resumed
by Examiner Harper with President
Gompers on the stand.
Mr.. Davenport again was inter-
rogator for the prosecution and he
sought especially to develop the facts
concerning the circulation of the Jan
uary issue Of the Federationist, the
official publication of the organization,
which number Mr.. Gompers has stat
ed was expedited in order that it
might be gotten out before the in
junction should become operative.
Mr.. Gompers said that he personally
attended to the getting out of the pub
lication, but he could not recall that an
exceptionally large number had been
printed. When Mr. Davenport sought
to develop particular details about
that proceeding Mr.. Gompers replied:
IF you'll tell me just what you want
I'll frankly tell you and thus save you
the time and trouble necessary to do
so much probing"

The Mysterious Geqenschien.

There is visible in the night sky, un-
der favorable circumstances, faint
light, rounded in outline and situated
always exactly opposite to the place
Of the sun. 1t is called the "gegen-
schien'' and is one of the most mex
plicable objects known to astronomers.
According to scientist, it may be a
sort Of cometary or meteoric satellite
attending the earth. He supposes it
to be composed of cloud Of meteors,
situated about 100000 miles from
the earth and revolving around it in a
period Of just one year, so that the
sun and the meteors are always on op-
posite sides Of the earth. He estimates
that the size of this ghostly satellite
may be nearly the same as that Of the
planet Jupiter-viz, about $4,000 miles
in diameter.

CHANCELLOR Won BUELOW.

American ambassador, and Nicholas
Murray Butler, president of Columbia
university, were among the distin-
guished strangers.
Prince Won Buelow made the well
coming speech in behalf of the gov
ernment. He spoke in French and said
that the delegates would find sympa-
thetic appreciation of their aims and
achievements in Germany and that the
government was with them in the end
for which they were striving. The
only differences of opinion were with
regard to which road should be fol-
lowed SO as to attain the desired aims
in the best and surest way.
Believes in Arbitration.
"We in Germany are taking a vital
part in the consideration of the ques-
ton with which you are occupied" !"
said the imperial chancellor "Allow
me to call to your attention that we
proposed at the second Hague peace
conference the prize court agreement
and that we supported the plan for a
permanent court of arbitration and
signed the protocol recommending
this. We have in various treaties
made use of the arbitration principle
and we have embodied this principle
In the clauses of our trade treaties
Our cooperation is won in advance for
all measures which, by unalterable
laws, makes secure the rights Of hui
manity.''
A love of peace, Prince Won Buelow
said, did not signify lack of love for
the Fatherlaa1. True patriotism was
the avoidance of conflict by resisting
damaging, unscrupulous and unhealthy
resentments which often merged into
blind hatred and deceptive ambition
Germany had been taught in the
school of hard experience for three
centuries and she was and must be
strong enough to defend her territory,
her dignity and her independence. She
had not misused her strength and
would not do SO. The German people
lcnged for peace founded on right and
justice and, having kept that peace for
many years, they had proved the sin
cerity of that desire.
Prince Won Buelow's speech was
warmly cheered and its tone had a
favorable effect on the bourse as an
indication that the International polit-
fcal situation was tranquil. The mem
bers of the union sent a telegram to
Emperor William in which they said:
'The 800 members of the Interpar-
liamentary union permit themselves to
offer to the emperor their respectful
homage and at the same time to thank
your majesty for the energetic words
uttered recently in favor Of the main
tenance in the future of the peace of
the world -

High School Football.

{ Il. sttsse
Under the experienced instruction
of Coach Bright, the Bemidji High
School football team is rapidly get
ting whipped into shape and will
soon be sble to meet any team Of
their weight in this section of the
country with bright chances Of
winning.
The first and second teams are out
each evening after school and for
two hours are forced to work like
beavers. With the diligent practic-
ing which they are undergoing, the
entire team is steadily improving,
this being especially true of the back
field. The line still has room for
improvement.
The BOYS are being tried in every
position on the team and are shifted
from one team to the other. There
are about twenty players who are
trying hard for positions on the first
team and no shirking is allowed.
The boys have got to work, and
to work hard, to get their places
this year (something they never had
to do before, owing to the lack of
materially.
A strong acquisition to- the team
this year has been made in, Warren
Gill, former player on the
high school team at Muskegon,
Mich. Gill played tackle for
Muskegon and will probably be
placed there or on end for the local
high school team.
Coach Bright is also being aided
for few days by dick" Reynolds,
of Helena, Mont, a college friend of
Bright's who is taking post-gradu-
ate work in the University of Michi-
gan and is a member of the United
States typographical survey. Bright
and Reynolds are teaching the boys
several of Yost's plays to be used in
their games.
The team has secured the use of
the downtown baseball grounds for
this season and, by removing the
bleachers, will have room for a grid
iron there. This will enable the
business men to attend most of the
game, as it will take but a few
minutes walk to the grounds,
where formerly it uooA-thirtv
minutes to reach the fair grounds
which formed the old field.
