MOUSE RIVER Is
NOT NAVIGABLE
IMPORTANT DECISION RENDER
ED BY JUDGE Goss AT MI
NoT-oLsoN NOT GUILTY
OF ANY CRIME,

Minot, N. D., Dec. 2s.-The case Of
the state VS.. olof A. Olson, charged
with obstructipg the Mouse river, was
dismissed by Judge Goss this morning
on the ground that the Mouse river
is not navigabie within the meaning
of the law. a
The Judge, however, warned the de-
fendant and others against obstruct-
ing the river needlessly, explaining
that because under the law the river
Is not navigable, this does not give
persons the right to obstruct 1t.
The case hinged on the question
whether the river is nayigabie within
the meaning Of the law. Most courts
aould have held that a navigable
stream is one that In. its natural
state is suitable for use In commerce.
II it is necessary to aam the stream
In order to allow boats to pass up
and down, it's not Ilayigab1e. +.

SON 8 MONTHS.

Washington. Dec. 23.-The famous
contempt case of the Bucks Stove G.
Range Co. against President Gompers,
Vice President Mitchell and Secretary
Morrison, of The American Federation
of Labor, was decided today by Jus
tice Wright OF the supreme court of
the Dictrict OF Columbia, adversely TO
the federation of labor officials.
Gompers was sentenced TO twelve
months imprisonment, Mitchell to
nine months and Morrison to six
months.
The case grew out of an alleged boy
colt OF the company's products ana
the putting Of that company on the
unfair list, and the federation's alleged
violation OF Judge Gould's recent
mandamus hc5 attracted wide atten-
tion.
rs Released on Bail.
Pending an appeal to the United
States court of appeals of the District
of Columbia, all three defendants were
released on bail, the amount being
fixed as follows: -
Gompers, $4,000; Mitchell. $4,000:
and Morrison. $4,000.
A local surety company furnished
the bonds. s. .r.
Each OF the three defendants before
sentence was passed upon them made
statements in response to the usual in
quiry If they had anything to say.
, Gompers Makes Statement.
When Judge Wright asked the de-
fendants If they had anything to say
before being sentenced, Gompers said:
Il am not conscious at any time OF
having violated any law of the coun-
try. would not consciously violate
the law. That the freedom OF speech
and the freedom of tie press has not
been granted to the people to saw
things which please but the right TO
say things that displease, even though
they do wrong. II men must suffer
because they dare speak for the masses
of men Of the country; if a man must
suffer because they have raised to
meet the sordid greed even to grind
children to dust TO gain dollars. they
must bear the consequences.'
Mitchell and Morrison both endorsed
what Gompers had said.
