The new Danish minister is Count
Moltke. He is young, immensely
wealthy and of most pleasing and
gracious personality. Countess Moltke
is beautiful and noted for her gorgeous
entertainments She has made a most
acceptable addition to the ranks of the
patrons in diplomatic Washington. 1t
is already apparent there are to be
lavish entertainments this season.
The family of the new Swedish min
iSter Herman De Lagercrantz, is even
more interesting. 1t is similarly en-
dowed with almost limitless wealth, as
is the courtly Dane. Mr.. De Lager
crantz and Madame De Lagercrantz
are also lavish entertainers and of ex-
ceptionally attractive personality. But
the most charming portion of their
household is their two daughters. who
will have a gorgeous debut Immediately
after New Years. Mile. Eva De Lager
crantz, who is shown above in the
white dress, and Mile. Mary De Lager
crantz, in the dark dress are both
beautiful and charming. They are
great linguists and fine musicians.
Their debut will be one of the social
events of the season.
All in all it is readily apparent that
Sweden and Denmark will have no
cause to blush for their representatives
at Washington this year.

RELEASED ON BAIL.
GOmpers, Mitchell and Morrison Will
File an Appeal.

Washington. Dec. 23,-Pending an ap-
peal to the United States court of ap-

company boycott case were released on

a local surety company furnished the
bonds.
Each of the defendants before SEN
tence was passed upon them made
statements in response to the usual in
quiry if they had anything to say.
In passing sentence on the defend
ants the court said:
1T would seem not inappropriate for
such a penalty as will serve to deter
others from following after such out
lawed examples; will serve physically
to impose obedience even though late;
Will serve to vindicate the orderly
power of judicial tribunals and eStab-
fish over this litigation the supremacy

in reading the opinion. The defendants
sat intentIy throughout the proceed
Judge Wright looking directly at
Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell and Nor
rison, said:
Have either of you anything to say
why judgment should not be pro-
nOunced ?"
President Gompers stood up and ad-
dressing the court said:
Il am not conscious at any time dur
ing my life of having violated any law
of the country or state in which 1
lived; I would not consciously violate
law now nor at any time during my
full life. It is not possible that under
the circumstances which I am before
your honor this morning and after
listening to the opinion which you have
rendered to say what I have in mind,
but sir I may be permitted to say
this: That freedom of speech and free
dom of the press have not been granted
to the people to say the things which
please; but the right to say the things

wrong.

is a struggle of the ages-a struggle
of the men Of labor to throw off some
of the burdens which have been heaped
upon them; to abolish some of the
wrongs and to secure some of the rights
too long denied.
IF men must suffer because they dare
speak for the masses of the men of our
country; If a man must suffer because

Judge Who Tried John Collins
Talks of Pardon.
Says Accused Had Fair Trial as
Any One Ever Had.
AN EXCELLENT JURY.
Would Have Acquitted Him Had
There Been a Way.
Sharply Criticises Governor
HOch for ''Retrying" Case.

eyes, I saw this morning that Mr..
Collins had been pardoned and the
governor seems to put it upon the
ground of his innocence. Mr.. Collins
had as fair a trial as any defendant
ever had. He was given the benefit of
every doubt on every question of fact
and law. He was tried by one of the
best and most intelligent juries that
has ever been empaneled in Shawnee
county; a jury that would have been
glad to have acquitted him if there
had been any possible way to do so;
but after listening carefully to the evil
dence for nearly four weeks, the jury
retired to the jury room and they
were unanimous as to his guilt. The
fact is that there never was a case
tried on circumstantial evidence where
the circumstances were stronger
against the defendant than. this case.
''The state wove around the defendant
a set of circumstances that We're per-
fectly inconsistent with the innocence
of the defendant The jury was not in
f1uenced by public opinion because 1t
was the jury's hope that in the trial of
the case it would be made to appear
that the state would fail to make out
case against him.
Il had no doubt when this case was
closed that the defendant was guilty
and 1 have no doubt now of his guilt
and it seems to me that any person who
carefully heard and considered the tes-
timony in this case must arrive at the
same conclusion. If our governors are
to retry cases after the courts are
through with them then probably there
are a number of other people serving
time in the penitentiary who should
also have their cases retired before some
governor.
''I certainly would have no objections
to the governor pardoning any person he
desires to because that power is given
him by law but it would seem that a gov
ernor who does not claim to be a lawyer
or ever has served time on the bench
should retry a case that has been tried
by the courts and determined from such
trial the guilt or innocence of the ac-
cused."
