WOMAN is CONDEMNED.
Mrs. Douglas Must Apologize or be
Ousted From Church.

ABEL, Iowa, June 21.-Mrs. Minnie
Douglas was convicted by a jury of
ministers, after an exciting church
trial, of playing whist, and is given
one week to apologize to the church
or be dropped from the church rolls.
AS a result of the trial, fifty women
of the town, all prominent, have ask
ed to have their names dropped as
members of the church.
Rev. A. E. Foutch, of De Soto, pre-
sided at the trial, and the members
of the church came from De Soto and
Van Meter.
The prosecution charged that so
ciety whist playing is a game o.
chance under the rules of the church
discipline, but this the ladies of the
church deny.
There is much excitement among
the Methodist church people here ovel
the case, and it will probably be ap
pealed to the general conference O.
the church, which meets in 1912.

Delo claims to have been working on
the Wenona during the past week, but
Saturday when he blew into town he
could not restrain from visiting the

Blondeau street. The result was that
Kesselring got wind OF his presence
and promptly and unceremoniously
took him under control Delo spent
Saturday night and all day Sunday in
The city jail.
Delo is regarded as dangerous
character by the police and by those
with whom he has come in contact
since his arrival in Keokuk, which
dates back to some time ago. He
came to the city after having been
driven by local police forcesfromother

Solid With Fans.

Mertens has already made himself
solid with KeolSuk fans. Saturday he
played his first game in an Indian
uniform and his timely clout in the
fourtheenth inning brought the long
game to close. Sunday he obtained
five hits, two in the first and three in
the second game His batting has
been feature of his work during the
entire season, but It has been his
fielding that he made it hard for him
to land better job.
Mertens can play almost any posi-
.ion. He is a pitcher and catcher
and good first sacker. His all
around ability and his heavy hitting
makes him valuable asset to the
Keokuk team.

lAbOR LEADERS
LOSE ON APPEAL
Gompers, Mitchell and Nor
rison Guilty Of Contempt.
mo MAN ABOVE THE LAW"

Decision Declares That the Fundamen-
tai Issue involved 10 Whether Con-
sttutionaI Agencies Of Government
Shall Be obeyed or Defied-Prom-
inence Of Defendants Should Not
Influence the Result.
Washington, Nov. 3.-The District
court of appeals has affirmed the de-
cree of the supreme court of the Dis
trict of Columbia adjudging President
Samuel Gompers, Secretary Frank
Morrison and Vice President John
Mitchell of the American Federation
Of Labor guilty of contempt of court
in the Buck Stove and Range COM
pany case. Chief Justice Sheppard
dissented from the opinion of the
court on constitutional grounds.
Individual interest" Justice Van
orsdell said, "dwindles into insig-
nificance when compared with the
higher principles involved In this
cause. The fundamental issue is
whether the constitutional agencies Of
government shall be obeyed or defied.
The mere fact that the defendants are
the officers of organized labor in Amer
lea lends Importance to the cause and
adds to the gravity of the situation,
but it should not be permitted to in
f!uence the result. If an organization
of citizens, however large. may dis
obey the mandates of the court the
same reasoning would render them
subject to individual defiance. The
one has no greater right in the eyes
of the law than the other. Both are
subject to the law and neither are
above it."
The action of the supreme court of
the District of Columbia in sentenc-
ing Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell
and Frank Morrison of the American
Federation of Labor to twelve, nine
and six months Imprisonment in Jail
respectively, was the result of the
failure of these three defendants to
obey the order of the court directing
them to desist from placing the Buck
Stove and Range company of st.
Louis. Mo-, on their unfair list" in
the prosecution of their boycott
against the corporation.
President Gompers had already. de.
clared that if the decision of the court
Of appeals should go against him and
his associates the case would be car
ried UP promptly to the supreme court
Of the United States.
