PAGE FOUR.

Justice R0bD, OF the U. >. Court OF
Appeals for the Dis
Gompers Case trict Of Columbia, has
Decided. decided the long pend
ing case of the Buck IS
Stove & Range Company VS.. the Amer
lean Federationist, out of which grew
the sweeping injunction Of Justice
Gould, which was violated by Messrs.
Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison, and
brought about the famous contempt
case in which Judge Wright sentenced
these labor leaders to fines and inn
prisonment. The decision Of Justice
Robb appears one that will be accept
ed 'by most people as entirely reason
able and fair. While affirming the
decision of Justice Gould enjoining
the furtherance Of a boycott by publ
cation Of the name of this company
in the specific list Of ''We don It Pat
ronize' and "Unfair,'' he takes oc.
easion to re-afirm the principle Of
press freedom from censorship, hold
ing that the defendants could not be
stopped from all publication referring
to the Buck Company, but only such
as we're made in support of an illegal
boycott. Justice Van Orsdel went
even further and criticised Judge
Gould's decision as one that, if per-
mitted to stand, would "mark the be-
ginning Of an era of judicial tyranny
by the branch of the government
charged with the duty of protecting
the citizen in his constitutional or le-
gal right.
Justice Shepard, sitting in the case,
expressed himself in favor Of modi-
fcation Of the decree $50 as to re-
strain the acts only by which other
persons have been or may be coerced
into ceasing from business relations
with the Buck Stove and Range Com
pany; but so as not to restrain the
publication Of the name of that COM
pany in the 'We Don't Patronize' col
umn Of the American Federationist,
no matter what the object Of such pub
LEGATION may be suspected or believed
to be-" but it is probable that the de-
cision of Justice Robb will more near
ly meet the views Of the majority of
people, who would loathe the judicial
tyranny which would prevent criti-
cism in the public prints, but who do
not, on the other hand, favor anything
that smacks of persecution by publ
cation.
However, all has gone very we'll,
and it would have been much better
had Mr.. Gompers awaited this decis-
ion before rushing into the attitude
of contempt of Court, which tended
to confuse matters and render the
case complex.

Recent reports are that Austria
Hungary and Servia
On Verge of will not avoid war.
War. All winter long, ten
sion has existed, pre-
parations have been made on the part
of Servia to resist invasion. Russian
sympathy appears to be on the side
of the Servians, who are largely Sla-
vonic people, which sympathy has
doubtless inspired them to hope to
resist the strong armies of Austria.
A late dispatch says:
In his efforts to secure peace be-
tween Austria-Hungary and Seryia
Sir Edward Grey, the British minis
ter, has sent third and last note to
Belgrade suggesting a spontaneous
recognition Of the annexation of Bos-
MIA and Herzegovina. The note is
couched in such terms as to call for a
sincere and straightforward response.
If this is not forthcoming the recall
Of Austria-Hungary's minister doubt
less will follow at once. Every day
that the strained relations between
the two governments continue results
in heavy losses to commercial and
agricultural interests and the situa-
ton can not exist much longer with
out war. Regiments are being sent
to the front almost daily, and Austria
is determined, if the conflict comes,
to make it short and decisive. The
abdication Of Grown Prince George
of Servia because he was accused of
the murder Of his valet has stirred
Belgrade to fever heat. Prince
George is a jingo of the most pro-
nounced type and an ardent hater of
Austria. Although his dissolute ca
reer made him an unlikable man,
many Of his subjects sympathized
with him because he was a bitter
enemy of Austria.

Race War in
Oklahoma.

Race War in tia Of that State to
Oklahoma. put down an upris-
ing of Crazy Snake
and his band Of Creek Indians. A
war of complete determination will
be the outcome, unless the Indians
yield. All of which is pathetic, as
the insurrection of the pitifully small
band of Indians grows out Of their
inability to recognize the futility of
contention. They want the old home
undisturbed, the old customs Of the
tribe, and planned a revolt that means
unnecessary bloodshed of both reds
and whites.
The inoffensive citizens of Okla
homa must be protected from the
sporadic riotings of the Indians upon
the reservations, of course, but the
treatment accorded the Creeks, the
advantage taken of their helplessness
and the wrongs perpetrated upon
them will probably never be fully
known. Certain it is that the Gov
ernor and many of his fellow-citizens
are under grand jury indictment for
land frauds, forgeries, etc., practiced
against the wards of the nation. And
the history has been a succession of
such injustices.

MINING NEWS.

Prescott Courier: John s. Jones, who is here from his mines in the Chaparral section of the Big Bug district, reports the construction of his water system which will supply his camp, the Gladstone mine and McCabe with water finished. The three inch pipe line starts near tLe head of Chaparral gulch following the gulch to the Jones mill where it will furnish water power for five stamps. It continues on to the Jessie and Gladstone mines to Me- Cabe. The Gladstone mine will be furnished with water for domestic purposes as we'll as the town of MCCabe.- The water from the Chaparral springs which flows through the line is exceptionally pure and desirable for household purposes.
 Jerome News: At the Cleopatra mine the work of taking down and developing ore bodies continues without interruption. They have upraised on the main ore body over 80 feet, all in solid ore. This up- raise is about 25x40 feet, and all of the ore taken down to date is of high grade. Besides the taking down of ore Mir. Hull has two shifts developing other ore bodies on this property, and just as soon as he can come to an agreement with the Arizona Power Company he will start up the new machinery lately installed, and start sinking on the main ore body. When started this work will be the most important ever attempted in the Jerome district, as it will prove be- yond doubt, if there are other large ore bodies in the district outside of Senator Clark's United Verde. President Hull also has two shifts at work developing the Hull Cop per Company's property and re- ports most satisfactory results.

Boyle's only hope of freedom lies
IA the remote possibility of a pardon.
Mrs. Boyle, convicted as Mary Doe, e"
the name given by the law to desig-
nate IAN unidentified person" was sen
fenced to serve twenty-five years and
20 pay a fine of $4,000 and the costs Of
prosecution. But since it has been
customary to forget" the fines and
costs imposed upon state prisoner, it
is assumed that these penalties will
be waived and that the woman should
she earn a legal reduction of her sen
tence, will be released after fifteen
years
Sensations followed each other thick
and fast. The severity of the sentence
appalled, Mercer, where it was pro
nounced, and surprised many else
where, who had not anticipated the
extreme limit of the law. Then came
the sensational scene in the court
room, when both prisoners collapsed
and had to be carried from the room
Hardly had they reached their cells
when the word was given out that
the woman had taken poison during
the night before and had narrowly es-
capped death at her own hand, and that
a razor had been found concealed in
BOyle's clothing. Before this thrill
had lost it's force, Boyle gave out his
statement, duplicating Harry Forker,
brother of Mrs Whitla, in the kidnap-
ping case. In Mercer and Sharon the
story does not seem to be generally
credited and as the district attorney
has no faith in it there is little likeli-
hood of any formal action in the
matter
In his statement Boyle accuses
of killing a man at Youngs-
town, Ohio years ago. and claims to
have levied blackmail on him to keep
his secret. He further says that while
he and his wife were in Sharon six
months ago he met Forker and de- /
$4,000. and that Forker, not
being a BILE to secure the money, few
days later in a letter suggested the
of Willie Whitla. Boyle
says Forker sent the boy with an es-
cort to Warren, o., where he took
charge of him.
