WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. Is
The United States supreme
court today passed sentence upol
the six men adjudged guilty oi
contempt of court in connection
with the lynching of Ed. johnson
a negro, at Chattanooga, Tenn, on
March 10, 1905, as follows:
Sheriff Shipp, ninety days.
Deputy Gibson. sixty days.
Luther Williams, ninety days.
Patrick Nolan, ninety days.
Henry Padgett. sixty days.
William Mayes, sixty days.
This is one of the few cases on
record where prisoners have been
presented in person before the ma.
tion's highest tribunal.
All of the men were present
when sentence was passed. They
were brought here last winter and
presented before the court, al
which time their appearance at
tracted much attention.
Men Wei known.
Aside from the two officers the
men are merchants and are well
known in the section of Tennessee
about Chattanooga.
Johnson, the negro, was in ia
under a stay of execution issued
by the federal supreme court
when he was taken out and lynch
ed.
1t was shown that the sheriff
did not make much effort to pre-
vent the mob from reaching the
prisoner and 1t was on the ground
that the lynching was in violation
of the order of the supreme cour,
that the present action was
brought.
1t was held that the mob an
the sheriff, with his deputy, act
ed in contempt of the court and
Judgment today means that they
must pay the penalty by service in

Pastor Stokes. who was a cigar
worker in Cleveland, o., before
marrying j. G.. Stokes, the mil
lionaire socialist, today charged
that August Belmont, the Ameri-
can representative of the Roth
schilds, has contributed $4,000
to conduct a fight against social
ism, and that the National Manu-
facturers' association was consid-
ering spending $1,00O,0OO for tic
same purpose.
She also declared that the time
for socialism was ripe in Ame-iaa,
but not throughout the rest CT
the world. In this connection
Mrs. Stokes said:
This new rebellion must be
fought with ballot IL possible, but
with bullet IL necessary.
America is probably ripor
than any other country for a SCI
entific socialistic movement. Dc
iara was imprisoned at Los Al
geles and Fernando is under a
jail sentence for speaking the
truth about the 'czar' OF Mex,ro.
I'm Spokane hundreds hayo
been imprisoned because they loyo
liberty.
'"There must be a rebellion or
white slavery will result.
The master classes of America
cannot force the people to yi)-
lent action, however, until every
condition is right for a complete
victory for the working people.
II cannot see that we can win
by the ballot alone. 1 wish that
we could, but the federal courts
are so blinded by capital that it
is impossible for them to cope
with present conditions"

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.---
The postponement of the resump-
tion of the trial of Patrick Cal
houn. millionaire street railway
magnate, on the charge of bribery,
today until December 6, removes
all doubt of the case going over
until January, when Charles M.
Fickert will assume charge of the
office of district attorney.
Francis J. Heney, who hreeto-
fore prosecuted the graft cases as
assistant district attorney, alleged
publicly during the campaign that
Fickert was Calhoun's candidate
for the district attorneyship. Since
his election Fickert has announced
that he will prosecute all the graft
cases.

Why Not Use
Club On Mp?

Switching charges on the N P. in Tacoma from So
to So car.
Switching charges on the N. P. in Seattle from
S150 to So car
This is the way Jim Hill helps Tacoma grow.
Hadn't the city council better grant him another
franchise or two and give him another grip on the
city2
This switching charge has been in effect for years
and Tacoma has been getting the worst of it. When
the Point Defiance franchise up the Times
pointed out the inequality and called upon the peo
pie to get busy with the council and insist that no
franchise be granted until Tacoma is given square
deal on switching charges. But the citizens who
ought to be interested stood back and the gold
en- opportunity pass.
Seattle has the switching rates regulated by the
franchise she granted the N. p They don't gouge
Seattle by any $5 rate for switching
The difference in the switching charges Of cars
makes difference of nearly 81 900 year to such
plant the Washington Pipe Foundry in Tacoma.
1t means tax running up to hundreds OF thou
sands of dollars on every industry in Tacoma and
puts them all at disadvantage in the with Be-
attic mills where the switching charges are lower. 1t
gives Seattle mills chance to underbid Tacoma
plants the same work.
In view of this situation what has become of the
Commercial club committee recently appointed to
keep an eye the matter of discrimination against
the welfare of Tacoma.
E. F. Messenger and F. 8. Harmon, two local man
ufacturers interested and who are being gouged by
this Jim Hill discrimination, collecting ST.
500 to test this thing before the railway commission
and it looks if it is good place for the Com
mercal club to get busy.
The recent acquiring of land on the Wilton
waterway by the city may give another opportunity
for bringing the N. p. to time switching charges
The company will need franchise to cross. 1t
ought not to get any franchise until it agrees first
to put in adequate lift bridge when the line is
built second, to reduce switching charges in Taco
to the same rate they in Seattle.
The same old Jim Hill palaver will be used now
on the council and the same old Jim Hill organs
will begin to whine about delaying new railways"
and Constructing development" but it is time the
people woke up to the game that is being played on
them
They were buncoed out of their reduced switch
ing charges by these same sheets and Jim Hill
nipulators when it should have been secured in the
Point Defiance franchise.
Let the Commercial club committee get busy.
If Tacoma is to keep in the race at all she can't
stand any such deal as she has been getting from

Kelley made CHASTITY attempt to

That Kelley was not instantly
killed was due to the quick stop
made by Motorman Onstad, when,
without warning and with the
car less than twenty feet away,
Kelley threw himself across the
track with his neck on one rail,
hoping evidently that the wheels
would decapitate him.
Throwing on the emergency
brakes, Cnstad stopped the cal
with a sudden Jolt, but not before
one wheel had struck Kelley's
head, cutting deep cash. The In
jured man was pulled from under
the car, and before lapsing into
Inconsistencies he mumbled, ac-
cording to the car crew, that he
wanted to kill himself. He was
hurried to the Fannie Paddock
hospital, and soon became uncon-
scious, and this afternoon little
hope of his recovery was held
out.
Kelley is supposed to have
come here recently from Chicago,
but little Is known about him.
