YORK CASE GOES
TO SUPREME COURT

Chancery Court here some Gays age.
has resulted in an appeal being taken
to the Supreme Court. The appeal
was granted by Chancellor Elliott.
The notice Of appeal was filed yester-
day by attorneys for the Yorks.
1t was not supposed by lawyers here
that the Yorks would pay The big
fine, and so close the incident, with
out exhausting every possible means
of escaping the penalty. There is TO
appeal from the ruling Of a Judge in
contempt cases, but there are other
means of getting such cases reviewed
by the higher courts, where there is
any question as to whether the Of
Tense constitutes contempt under Tie
statutes.
Chancellor Elliott enjoined The de-
PENDANTS from holding a conference
with counsel and bringing suit in the
Federal Court while the case in tne
Jefferson Chancery Court was pend
ing. Chancellor Elliott ruled that
this injunction was violated by tae
proceedings in the Federal Court.
Counsel for defendants contend on
the other hand, that the injunction
was not violated because the SUISSE
