WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s. The "a
nous contempt case Of the Buck
Stove & Range Company against
President Gompers, Vice-President
Mitchell and Secretary Morrison, Of
the American Federation Of Labor,
was decided today by Justice Wright,
Of the Supreme Court Of the District
Of Columbia, adversely to the Fedora.
ton Of Labor Gompers was sent
enced to II months imprisonment.
Mitchell was sentenced to nine months
and Morrison to six months. The case
grew out Of the alleged boycott Of the
company's products and the putting
Of that company on the unfair list and
the Federation's alleged violation of
Judge Gould's recent mandamus,
which attracted wide attention.
The Buck Company's prosecution Of
the officials of the Federation began
in August, 1907. The original action
was test case, wherein it was
sought to enjoin the labor unions from
using the unfair" and I'VE don't pa
tronize" lists in their fight against
firms and individuals.
Justice Gould, of the supreme court
Of the District of Columbia, issued an
injunction, which later was made per-
manent, forbidding the publication Of
the company's name in these lists
President Gompers, in an editorial in
the Federationists Of January last
made known his intention not to obey
the courts order, contendin that the
injunction issued was in derogation oi
the rights of labor and an abuse oI
the injunctive power Of the courts
Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison sub
sequently were cited for contempt and
this phase of the case has been before
the court for many months, the pro
ceedings taking the form Of hearing
Of testimony before an examiner and

DEMOCRATS CARRY
ARKANSAS BY $1,000

Little Rock, Ark. Sept 15.--The
election of George w. Donaghey, as
governor on the Democratic ticket, and
the entire Democratic state ticket by
majority that may exceed that re-
ceived by Governor John S. Little two
years ago, or by more than $1,000, an
apparently even break between the
Prohibitionists and the license adyo.
Gates, the adoption of one constitution.
al amendment and the defeat of anoth-
er, are the important results OF the
state election held in Arkansas yester-
day, as indicated by the incomplete re.
turns today from a majority of the Is
counties in the state. A record break.
ing vote was polled throughout the
state. The returns on the license ques.
tion are not conclusive but apparently
neither the Prohibitionists nor the IL
cense advocates made any consider
able net gains.

HUGHES IS NAMED
ON FIRST BALLOT
Sentiment For Governors Renomina-
ton Was Almost Unanimous in the
Convention.

New York, Sept. 15.-Goyernor
Charles E. Hughes was renominated by
the Republicans of New York in state
convention here today on the first bal
lot. When the time for nominations ar
rived, the supporters Of the governor
were greatly in the majority and what
little opposition existed was easily
routed.
Although last night the anti-Hughes
forces brought forth the name of David
Jayne Hill, of Rochester, ambassador
to Germany, as candidate, this did
not arouse any sources Of misgiving.
The fact that 1t was an open secret at
Oyster Bay that the President favored
the denomination Of Mr.. Hughes, help.
ed his candidacy greatly.

overcome by smoke while attempting
to enter the shaft in rescue party.
The blaze was confined to the timbers

BRYAN LOSES
HIS TEMPER
Makes Hot Retort
to Statement of
Taft
SAYS JUDGE IS O0DG|NG
Answers Charges Of His Op.
~
ponent in a Lengthy
Interview.

Philadelphia, Sept. 15.--In a lengthy
interview given out on the train be
tween Baltimore and Philadelphia to-
day, William J. Bryan made hot re-
tort to Judge Taft's statement of yes
terday. He accuses Mr.. Taft of dodg.
ing.
Instead Of defining his position on
certain pubic questions said Mr.. Bry-
an, ''he Is inquiring about my record,
and in his inquiry he shows that he
knows about as little of my record as
he does about those public questions
which he has attempted to discuss. He
accuses me of being changeable and of
abandoning issues. have been a tariff
reformer for twenty-eight years, have
advocated the election Of senators by
the people for twelve years and have
favored an income tax for fourteen
years. Mr.. Taft is only now coming
around to his position on these ques.
tions."
Bryan said that in 1898 he stated
that the Philippines ought to have In
dependence and that Taft had admit
ted this year that the people of the
Islands must ultimately have indepen-
dence. Bryan said he does not adyo-
cate government ownership of rail
roads but that he has said the same
thing as has President Roosevelt and
Judge Taft, himself, that government
ownership would ultimately follow If
the railroads prevent federal legisla-
tion. He further stated that Taft has
spent some time on the money qles.
tion This Bryan said had been taken
out of politics by the unexpected dis
coveries of gold which have given the
increase demanded by both the Re-
publicans and Democrats.

TOWN OF CLAYTON
GROWING STEADILY
oliver P. Easterwood, Prominent At.
torney Of That Place, Tells Of Con.
ditions in His Section.

Oliver P. Easterwood, a successful
and reliable attorney Of Clayton, the
pretty county seat of Union county
spent yesterday in the city before the
Territorial Board of Equalization in
the interest of the Wight Live Stock
company, of Union county, whose as.
sessment was raised in the sum OF
twenty thousand dollars by the board
OF county commissioners The board OF
equalization has taken the matter un.
der advisement and asked for more
testimony which Attorney Easterwood
will furnish, he having returned to his
Clayton home last night.
To representative of the New Mex
ican, Attorney Easterwood stated that
Clayton was growing slowly but salts.
factorily; the town has very spacious
and modern school house now, for the
extension and repairing of which the
town voted bonds in the sum of $12, 900
last year. The attendance at the pres.
ent term of school is good and the
compulsory school law is being carried
out.
The live stock interests in Union
county are in good shape since the
recent rains, which have brought about
a fine growth Of grass and filed the
springs and streams with an ample
supply of water. During the drouth this
spring and summer number of sheen
men and cattle growers experienced
severe losses. During the recent
drouth many homestead settlers, who
came to the county during last winter
and spring left, but many remained
and those who remained in some sec
tions of the county will have good
crops of corn, millet, kaffir corn, milo
maize and vegetables. The settlers
who cultivated their crops and stayed
by their claims are doing we'll while
those who were shiftless and came fol
the purpose of entering on home
stead and selling their REIMBURSEMENT
left and their places are being filled
by prosperous class of farmers who
will succeed.
Attorney Easterwood is stauncf
Republican in politicis and believes
the Republicans will carry Union coun
ty this fall by very satisfactory ma
jority. The sentiment for Republican
success and for statehood is growing
and this is very noticeable. Mr.. Easter
wood will do his level best for Repub
lican success in his county.

SPLENDID RECORD IN REVIEW
In Urging Claims of the Secretary of

and Useful Public Service Is Set

Chicago.-In the Republican nation
al convention Representative Theo-
doTc z. Burton placed in nomination
for the presidency, William H. Taft
of Ohio. Mr.. Burton said:
This convention enters upon the
grave responsibility of selecting a
presidential candidate with the serene
assurance that the Republican party
will continue to rule this people. 1t is
especially appropriate that this gath
ering should be held in this marvel
Gus city OF Chicago. Here it was that
the righteous uprising against slavery
and Bourbonism, sprung from the ma
tons conscience, raised its first tri-
umphant voice when Abraham Lincoln
was nominated. And here, again, with
notes of thunderous acclaim, en-
raptured throngs greeted the naming
of Garfield, of Blaine, of Harrison, and
of Roosevelt.
Again Ohio presents a candidate to
the national Republican convention. In
seven stubbornly contested presiden-
tial campaigns, sons of her sacred soil
have led the embattled Republican
hosts to victory. The Buckeye state
has assuredly contributed her share
OF statesmen and generals for the up
building of the nation. But that of
which we are prouder still is her stall

wark of the republic in every common
