Court
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, July 20.--In the
Buck Stove and Range case Justice
Sanderson of the supreme court today
summoned Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor;
Secretary Frank Morrison of that or
ganization, and John Mitchell of the
executive council and former president
OF the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea to appear in court on September
next to show cause why they should
not be punished for contempt of the
courts injunctive order.
The citation is based on a petition of
the Buck Stove and Range company
of st. Louis, which alleged that an
order issuped by Justice Gould for
bidding national boycott by the
American Federation of Labor has been
violated by the public utterances and
addresses of the three labor leaders
named.
1t also is stated that Gompers caused
to be published in the Federationist,
the official organ of the federation, a
certain article rejecting upon the
courts decision and alleged open de-
flance by printing the name of the Buck
Stove and Range company in the I'VE
don't patronize" list Gompers is said
to have said to several newspaper men:
OO AAA Go all COHC6tIl6Q, L WISH 10
state this: When 1t comes to a choice
between surrendering my right as a
free citizen or violating the decision of
the court, ! do not hesitate to say that
1 shall exercise my right as between
the two"
Other utterances are quoted and 1t
is alleged Gompers and Morrison, In
furtherance of an alleged plan to null
lily the courts order, have published
edltorially and otherwise, stories Of
fensive to the courts decision, includ-
ing the name of the Buck Range and
Stove company. References, 1t is
claimed, were made for the purpose of
keeping alvie the boycott as it existed
before the order of the court, and were
SO framed as to affect the sale of the
company's products.
John Mitchell, at meeting of the
United Mine Workers last January, put
to a vote a resolution imposing a fine
of S. on any member of that organi-
cation who purchased a stove or range
of that company's make. The resolu-
ton also provides for the expulsion of
a member in default of payment of the

FAIRVIEW, Neb., July 20.-The part
that the prohibition question will play
in the campaign was talked over to-
day between Mr. Bryan and Wiley B.

Mr.. Phillips, however, volunteered
the statement that Enthusiastically a
number of the Prohibitionists would
vote for Mr.. Bryan as against their
own candidate. He thought the pro-

vote in the close states, and was I'M
willing to concede to Judge Taft many
of these votes.

FATHER RAMM REBUKES
VETERAN C0MMISSARY
WHO "HEARD THINGS

One of the dramatic scenes of the
morning occurred Monday, when Fa-
Their Ramm asked that Commissary d.
]. O'Kane, who had been at the school
for twelve years, be called.
Father -2amm first took the stand,
saying:
II went down the corridor with
O'Kane and some reference was made
to the inquiry. l understood him to
say something like Yes, things are rot
ten here My purpose in calling him
is to find out on what he based the
bland and childlike comment he made"
O'Kane took the stand and, hesitat-
ing a moment, Father Ramm asked
him If there was any reason Why ne
feared to testify, but witness SAID
mo"
Then he recited that Instructor
Healy had told him about certain or
Mrs. Willes' alleged doings, merely
based on hearsay; how an officer had
been seen by a boy named Estralia'
now at Riverside, coming from tne
room of one of the women at the
school at 2 o'clock in the morning, and
how Cantain Willes once threatened to
lick the stuffing'' out of a cadet who
had gone car riding with Mrs. Willes.
O'Kane said he knew nothing OF TINS
from his own knowledge, but merely
repeated Healy's words.
And you complained of food?
"Once a year ago l did" said O'kane'
but that was remedied."
"And do you think repeating hear

asked Father Ramm.-
'I did tell the superintendent thaI

to say that this happened in 1905,

WORRY OVER SCANDAL
CLOUDS MISS WHITES
MIND, DOCTOR SAYS

One of the sensational developments
of Mondays hearing at Whittier was
the charge that printed revelations con-
corning the scandal at the state school
had driven Miss Cora White, now OF
Rivera, a small town east of Whittier,
to madness.
Miss White was needed at the hear
ing to testify concerning the report that
she had sent word to superintendent D..
p. Greeley that Bandmaster Willes'
wife. who was formerly an instructress
in music at the school, was teaching
immortality to girls at the whittier
school.
Mics white was formerly a high
school student at Whittier and acted
as correspondent at Whittier for Los
Angeles newspapers.
Victor Henry, a school trusty, had
been permitted to visit Miss White, 1t
was alleged, after the hour when school
innates were supposed to be in their
dorrnitories-in other words, after
o'clock at night.
Mother and Daughter Nervous
Miss White worried greatly over this
charge, SO much so that she brought
on nervous prostration. Her mother,
100 is bordering on breakdown because
of the tax on her strength in nursing
her daughter.
Miss Whites physician, DR.. A. F..
TrewheIla, was called to the stand yes
terday to recite the facts. DR.. Tire
whella testified:
at present She is not in condition to-
testify. Her condition is due to worry
over the scandal that has arisen at the
state school and the undue advantage
that was taken of her in printing her
picture and her testimony when she
s1lpposed she was talking to friends.
L. xxyith the 6nlnEiOn that
they were going to take her away to
take her photo and publish 1t. she
has talked necessarily sometimes for
twenty hours or more at time.

ever recover. She will never be able
to do the kind OF work she has been
doing again." said DIR. Trewhella.
You hold, then, that it would not be
possibie to get her testimony either by
bringing her here or sending to her?'
asked Secretary Cooper
THAT would be criminal. There is a
state law to prevent it
Dr.. Trewhella explained that he had
been the wonans family physician for
two years, that she was not easily af-
fected nervously and was of happy
disposition.
Asked as to whether Mrs. White, the
mother, could testify witness said 1t
was doubtful, as she had lost much
sleep in nursing her daughter and
would be so nervous that she could
perhaps not give rational answers.
Mrs. White is of an emotional turn
of mind" said the witness, land she
would not know what she was saying.

Foraker Taft feud.
The first feeling of hopefulness with
regard to Illinois is not gaining ground,
and while that state will be carefully
looked after. it has been practically
determined that the main force in the
middle west will be directed against
Indiana and Ohio, where these leaders
are counting on wrestling the majority
vote from the Republican column.
For several days visitors to Fair
view have kept Mr.. Bryan informed
of the result of the polls made by them
OF passengers aboard trains.
1t is stated that the figures presented
were highly gratifying to Mr.. Bryan.
One thing is definitely settled, and that
is that the Craftsmanship of the ma
tional committee willNnot go to a south
ern man, because of the attitude of
the southerners toward the negro. AL
though Mr.. Bryan thinks highly of
Ollie James of Kentucky, and his name
was prominently considered for the
place, the position taken by Mr.. James
some time ago in favoring the dis
reimbursement of the negro made his
appointment out of the question.
