Washington, May 24.-For the first
time in so serious a case the supreme
court OF the United States will. on
next Tuesday week, undertake to mete
out punishment for the crime of con-
tempt of court itself, and the import
ance of the occasion will be enhanced
by the number of defendants.
The proceedings will take place in
connection with the cases of Sheriff
Shipp and Deputy Sheriff Gibson, Of
Hamilton county, Tennessee. and four
other residents of that county named,
respectively, Williams, Nolan, Pad
gett and May. These men were today
declared by the court to be guilty of
the act of contempt in combining, IN
March, 1905, in conspiracy to lynch
the negro Ed Johnson. who had been
sentenced to death by the local courts
on the charge of rape, and IN whose
case the supreme court had inter
fered to the extent to granting an ap
peai which had the effect of a super
sedeas.
THE NEGRO LYNCHED.
On the night following the an
nouncement of the courts action
Johnson was taken out of Jail in
Chattanooga by a mob and lynched.

about twenty citizens. were proceed
ed against on the charge of contempt
of the federal court. The case had
been pending ever since and the num-
her OF defendants from time to time
reduced to nine OF these nine three
were today found guiltless, while the
other six were ordered to be brought
into court next Tuesday week for SEN
tence They will be taken into Gus
tody Immediately. Sentence may be
either fine or Imprisonment. or both.
ONE OF INTEREST.
The case is regarded as one of eX-
Ceptional interest. because it is prdC-
tically the first time this, the highest
court in the United States. has ever
undertaken to assert its dignity, or
resent acts or words rejecting Upon
il. In a previous case, some years
ago. the defendant was fined for an
expression of contempt, but the case
was comparatively so insignificant rs
TO practically leave the present pro-
ceedings standing alone.
REVIEW OF CHIEF JUSTICE.
The chief justice presented COM
pIete review of the Johnson case He
concluded that neither Ship nor his
deputy, Gibson, had made any effort
TO prevent the removal OF Johnson
from Jail TO prevent his being killed
after being taken out, nor TO discover
the participants in the lynchinS after
il took place.
Justice Peckham delivered a dis
senting opinion, declaring there was
not the slightest testimony to sup
port the charge against Shipp.'
He therefore did not believe the Off
Cial should be subjected to the POSSIBLE
ity f-"disgraceful Imprisonment" and

Tallahassee, May 24.-ThlS after
noon the senate passed to third read
ing the resolution by Buell. Cook call
ing for revision of the constitution.
Another important matter was the
defeat. through the efforts of Sena-
tors Beard and Miller, of the amend
meHt offered to a bill by Senator
HUMPHREYS, which provided for the
exchange of advertising for passes by
railroads. The bill went TO third
reading with only sheriTs allowed the
privilege Senator HUMPHREYS made
strong effort to secure the privilege
for newspapers.
Senator Beard made a strong speech
against the proposition, calling atten-
ton to the fact that the editor OF
characterized as the leading morning
newspaper of the state, had written
to the committee protesting against
passes being allowed newspapers.
Miller. of Santa Rosa. and Tim of st.
Augustine, also spoke along much the
same lines.
Wall BILL KILLED.
The senate killed the Wall bill re-
imbursing parties losing property or
cash by theft and the HUMPHREYS bill
appropriating $4,000 annually from
the convict lease fund to the sinking
fund and for the maintenance of the
insane asylum. Among bills passed
to third reading are: WitheTs's bill
substituting the secretary of state for
the comptroller on the board of trus-
tees of internal improvement fund;
Mahaffey's bill allowing electors in

tiers; HOsfOrd'S measure creating a
state forestry commission and for the
conservation of forest resources, and
HUMPHREYS bill allowing the board
of commissioners of state institutions
to sell or lease phosphate beds lying
in waters belonging to the state.
THREE IMPORTANT BILLS.
The house this afternoon passed to
third reading the Wall cheaper schoO!
text books bill, the bill prohibiting
the use of fish nets in the fresh wa
tiers of the state, and the Hodges bill
giving the state board of health more
power in the prevention of the spread
of infectious diseases among animals.
STOKES I'M THE CHAIR.
While in the chair this afternoon
Stokes won out with flying coloTs on
an appeal from the chair. During the
discussion of the Cash primary bill,
MacWiIliams claimed the floor while

during the reading of the bill. An
appeal was taken from the chair and

BLACK MAN GROWS DAILY.
Noted Sporting Writer Says that Jack
johnson is Making Friends
Fast.

In an interview published in sew
eral leading papers of the country
Friday, Tip Wright, the noted sport
ing writer tells of the sentiment in
the country concerning the coming
fight between Jim Jeffries and the
black fighter. He says:
1 have been doing a lot of jumping
about the country of late and in al
most every city 1 visited the Jeffries
show had been ahead of me. In
some places both Jeffries and Jack
Johnson had appeared.
And it will probably seem as strange
to you as it did to me to learn that
sentiment concerning the outcome of
the big fight has completely changed
in the last three months.
About the time Jeffries went to
Carlsbad to begin his conditioning
nine men out of ten would, If asked
their opinion of the fight, answer
why, Jeff'll knock his blooming head

But they've stopped talking that
way The impression has gained
ground that Jack Johnson is a sure
enough scrapper, and that If he does
wi Jeffries will have to travel like
a copper getting away from a scene
of trouble.

ion, because I have already voiced my

TWENTY THOUSAND
BARRELS OF APPLES
Western Orchardists Marketed About
One-Tenth of Their Entire
Output.

SPOKANE, Wash. Dec 18.-Sta-
tistics compiled from reports by grow
ers and handlers show that the pro-
duction of commercial apples in 1909
was a matter of 22,735,00 barrels, of
which 2,435,000 barrels or 1906, 900
boxes were marketed by western or
chardists. California and Colorado
report crops of 80 and 90 per cent,
respectively, while the yields in the
other western states are given at
from 35 to 40 per cent.
The crops in Washington, Oregon,
Idaho and Montana were shorter than
at any time in the last five years, but
the growers received more money for
their fruit than in either 1908 or
1907. They also received more than
the growers packing their apples in
barrels, as is evidenced by reports
from Boston, New York and Chicago,
showing winter apples in barrels SELL
ing at from SO to IS a barrel, while
boxed apples are quoted at from $3.50
to IS. with extra fancy selling as
high as $3.50 a box. Thousands of
boxes of apples exhibited at the
second National Apple Show in Spo-
kane in November sold at from $2.5O
to $40 box, James J. Hill buying 100
boxes at the las named figure.

more than loose conversation and the
Johnson Ketchel pictures to make me
change my mind. But what I tell
you is what lot of wise guys. who
have been following the fighters for
years-some of them fighters and
wrestlers-have to say after seeing
ne men and the pictures.
One man, who has been a fighter.
and WHO now handles fighters, de-
clared with all sincerity that Jeffries
weighed $50 pounds IL he weighed a
pound when he saw him in Indianap-
oils.
IL don't believe Jeffries is going to
fight" said this man. He can af-
ford to lose the $4,000 he's deposited
to get the money he is getting now
four-flushing around the country. If
they do fight, I'm on johnson. jeff
ries can't get right. If he could show
the form he did against Fitzsimmons,
I'd bet my leg on him."
On the other hand, the pictures of
johnson and Ketchel and Johnson's
work on the present little trip have
opened the eyes of the public to the
fact that the big smoke is a far bet
ter man than 80 out of every 100 have
given him credit for.
johnson has shown every one that
he has a marvellous left hand and Is a
splendid defensive boxer, while the
fact that he does carry a wallop in
his right hand is proven conclusively
by the pictures of his battle with
Ketchel.
