FORTY THOUSAND WILL
MARCH FOR G0MPERS
Boston Workers viii Meet in
Old Faneuii Hall Tomorrow.

Boston, March 13.-The greatest Ia
Dor demonstration in the history of
Boston will take place tomorrow.
Forty thousand men, members of the
unions of this city, will march in pa
rade and attend mass meetings as a
protest against the sentencing of
President Gompers, Vice President
Mitchell and Secretary Morrison of
the American Federation of Labor for
contempt of court.
The announced purpose of the dem
onstration is "to voice the protest of
the workingmen of Boston and vicln-
ity against the abuse of the injunc-
tion process by the judiciary, the en-
croachments by the courts on the con-
stitutional rights of free speech, free
press, trial by jury and other rights
guaranteed by the Constitution and to
take further steps to secure legisla-
tion to define and limit the powers of
judges in injunction cases."
Members Of more than 300 Boston
unions have declared their purpose of
marching in the parade. The process
sion will be followed by big meetings
in the afternoon In historic Faneuil
hall and elsewhere.

CREDENTIALS ARE REGULAR
Asserted Stephenson Cannot Be Pre-.
vented From Taking Seat.

Washington, March 13-The first
business of Importance to be taken up
by the senate at the beginning OF the
extra session next Monday will be the
admission of Senator Stephenson of
Wisconsin.
Immediately after the senate con-
venes the certificate of the governor
of Wisconsin declaring Mr.. Stephen
sons election will be presented and
unless there is objection he will take
the oath of Office. There Is no dispute
as to the regularity of the credentials
and some of the older lawyers in the
senate say he could not be prevented
from taking his seat even by objec-
ton.
So far as can be learned the plan
of Stephenson's opponents is to post
pone the presentation of objections
until the investigation by the Wiscon
sin legislature into the Stephenson
election is concluded.

Corruption in Matter Of Contracts Has
Startled the country and 1t Is

Exorbitant Prices sAre Made on
Supplies.
Paris, March 13.-France, like the
United States, is confronted with a
big deficit in her revenues. The sit
uation in this country is rendered the
more serious by the large number of
pending socialistic projects involving
heavy drafts on the treasury. The
budget of 1909 necessitated the issue
Of s12,000000 in treasury bonds, while
the regular estimates for 1910 show a
deficit of $45 100000 and this, without
taking into consideration the proposed
workmens cid age and state railroad
employees pension proposals, which
together involve sum of $37,S00,0 900
more.
This situation complicates the pro-
posal to revise the French tariff and
It already has precipitated a quarrel
between NJ. Caillou2, minister OF
finance, and M. Picard, minister of
marine, over the insistence of the lat
ter on large credits to restore the
efficiency of naval material.
Scandalous corruption in the matter
of naval contracts revealed lately by
M. Picard has startled the country
and the minister of marine has prac.
tically refused to continue in Office
unless he is granted sufficient funds
to put the navy in first class order. 1t
has been learned that a regular mo-
nopoly existed among the navy con,
tractors, who charged exorbitant
prices and made enormous profits.
In one case boilers costing $150,00l
were purchased for ships that were
put out of commission before the boil
ers were furnished.
