WILL APPEAL.
Jail Sentences of GomperS,
Morrison and Mitchell win BE
Taken to Supreme Court of
United States.

If President Gompers, Vice
President Mitchell and Secretary
Morrison, Of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, eventually have to
serve Jail sentences for contempt
of court, it will not be due to lack
of support from trades unionism.
The executive council of the fed
GRAFTON recommended to the an
nual convention at Toronto, Ont,
that an appeal be taken to the
United States Supreme Court.
LABOR INJUNCrIONs DENOUNCED.
A vigorous denunciation Of the
use of labor injunCtions and of
the denial of trial by jury was EN-
bodied in the councils report,
which said:
1t should be borne in mind that
in these proceedings they did not
have the constitutional right of
trial by jury.
We hold that excepting where
contempt is in the presence OF the
court. the liberty of no citizen
should be committed to the keen
ing of any one man, regardless OF
who he may be or what position
he may hold; on the contrary, we
hold that a citizen charged with
violating an injunction, the penalty
Of which involves Imprisonment,
should have the same legal right
to a trial by jury that is always
accorded to a person charged with
violation of the criminal law.
PEOPLE DENIED PROTECTION.
To deny the right of trial by
jury is to take from The people the
protection and priceless heritages
which were secured by them after
centuries Of perseverance, strug-
gle, sacrifice, exile and even mar
tyrdom.
Whatever differences 10 Opin-
ion may exist among men as to
any controversy between labor and
capital, no good citizen of our
country who treasures freedom
can rest secure until trial by jury
becomes so we'll recognized and so
firmly established in our legal iu-
risprudence that no man will ever
again attempt to deny this essen
tial and historic right"

SCHLEY ASKS THAT
PEARY PROOFS
BE SUBMITTED
To University Of Copenhagen
For Examination
IN THE INTEREST OF SCIENCE
Doesn't Doubt Peary But Thinks it
Well Unprecedented Body Should
Examine Facts
IN THE INTEREST OF SCIENCE

Washington, Dec. 3.-Reaffirming
his confidence in DR.. Frederick A.
Cook, Rear Admiral w S. Schley, re-
tired, today called publicly upon
Commander Peary to submit his
proofs that he reached the North
Pole to some scientific body other
than the National Geographic society.
This, the admiral declares, should be
done at once in the interests of JUS
tice and to establish beyond question
the claims of Peary.
The admiral believes that the same
body which repudiated Cooks data
should be permitted to pass upon the
data submitted by Peary to the Geo
graphic society
THE Danes are the best posted
body of men in the world on Arctic
matters" he said The consistory
of the University of Copenhagen
should be given the opportunity to ex-
anime the Peary proofs, for in that
way they would be submitted to the
same test that was applied to those
of Cook. The consistory which was
regarded by the civilized world as
more than friendly to DR. Cook show
ed by it's action in turning down the
explorer that it holds the scales of
justice as it sees them, evenly and
honestly"
Admiral Schley believes the sub
mission of the proofs to Copenhagen
should be insisted upon by Peary, de-
spite whatever the National Geo
graphic society's attitude may be- 1t
was suggested to the officer that the
society some time ago officially de-
clared its intention To let scientific
bodies examine the Peary proofs
when they had been passed upon by
the society
But the organization hasn't done
it" he retorted. so far there has
been shown no disposition to carry
out its avowed intentions, has there?
The admiral has had wide expert
ence in the far north In 1884 he
was in command of the Thetis ex-
petition which resulted in the rescue
of Lieutenant Greeley and six men
who had been cast away at Cape Sa-
bine. For this Schley then a captain
was awarded a gold watch and a vote
of thanks by the Maryland legisla-
ture and medal of honor by the
Massachusetts Humane society.
Members of the National Geograph-
ic society declined to discuss Admir-
al Schley's suggestion. The society
is still smarting under the somewhat
curt reply made by the University of
Copenhagen to its request that a com
mittee representing the society be
permitted to be present when DR.
Cooks data were examined

AND COSTS FOR
ELIOT BISHOP
Searsburg Assault Case Came
To an End Last Night
WILL BE JAIL FOR WHITC0MB
Defendant is Without Means to Pay
Judgment-Jury Excused Til
January 4

The case of Eliot Bishop VS.. An
drew Whitcomb, both of Searsburg,
was completed late yesterday after
noon and the jury retired for consul
tation. At $3.50 last evening a YER
dict of $500 damages and costs of
prosecution was returned.
The plaintiff brought suit for $4,000
damages for injuries received in an
assault committed In Searsburg ear
ly last summer. Whitcomb at the
time of the assault was in the en-
ploy of the plaintiff who is road com
missioner for the town of Searsburg.
In an alteration over wages the
commissioner sustained two broken
ribs and fracture of the skull.
There is also a criminal case
against Whitcomb for the same as
sault which Will not be tried during
the present term.
Whitcomb is without means and in
all probability he will be obliged to
go to Jail in default of payment.
The jury which sat on the case is
composed of C. ID. Kelley of Manches-
ter, Arthur Perkins, Frank Fuller
and Edwin Bouplon. of SALISBURY,
Norman o. Mattison of Glastonbury,
Norman Woodcock of Sandgate, Will
liam b. Morgan of Pownal, Perley
Haskins of Sunderland, Weston Prin-
die and John B. Farrar of Rupert,
John Baker of Bennington and
George Il. Cotton of Woodford
This morning Oliver Danforth of
Rupert through his attorney, c. S.
Chase of Brattleboro, pleaded guilty
to the shooting of spotted fawn
during the open deer season. The
case was appealed to county court
from municipal court in which Dan
forth was convicted and fined 500.
Earle S. Ketchum, an appealed in
toxication case, pleaded guilty and
Judge Butler fined him s. with the
costs of prosecution in both the orig
inal and the county court case.
The jury this morning was excused
until January 4, but it is not probable
that any more jury cases will be
tried during the present term.

AFTER BIG PLUMS
IN PATRONAGE
PUDDING
Vermont Delegation Asked For
a New Distribution
JUDGESHlP STILL UNDECIDED
o. M. Barber of Bennington is BEING
Considered and Gen. Frank Street.
err Also a Candidate

The Boston Herald's Washington
Bureau sends to that paper the fol-
lowing facts or fancy in regard to
the distribution of patronage in Yer
mont:
Senator Page started for his home
in Vermont today, where Senator Dill
bingham had preceded him, to at
tempt to compose the bitterest feder-
al patronage fight the state has
known for years. Tomorrow Repre-
sentative Foster is to see President
Taft for talk regarding the nomina-
ton of o. M. Barber of Bennington
as judge of the customs court.
incidentally Mr.. Barber is mixed
up in the big patronage fight. 1t is
hardly expected that he will be made
a judge, the indications favoring
Gen. Frank S. Streeter of Concord,
n. II. But Mr. Barber is also inter-
ested in the Burlington collectorship
which with all it's fees is supposed
to be worth about $4,000 year. He
may win that office as a compromise
candidate.
"Ex-Assistant Secretary of the
Navy OHdIleS II. barring aSplreS TO
another term. He saw the President
recently and told him he believed he
had the support of the two Vermont
senators and the two Vermont repre-
sentatives for another term as col
lector. Since then, at least two of
the Vermont delegation are under
stood to have told the President they
were not for Collector Darlng's re-
nomination
THE best of opinion here, at pres
ent, is that Mr.. Darling will retire at
the close of his present term. Two
rival editors of Burlington have envi-
Gus eyes on the fat job They are
Joseph Aud of the Daily News and
}. L. Southwick of the Free Press.
The senators are hopeful of pulling
off some of the candidates during the
holidays so that there can be agree
ment in the Endorsement to the Pres
ident by the time Congress convenes.
There is also a contest over the
collectorship for the district east of
the mountains, now held by Curtis
Emery at Newport Senator billing
ham favors the denomination OF Mr..
Emery, but there are several candi-
dates also for that office"

TO CURE KLEPToMANIAcs
Chicago Doctor Claims Operation on
Woman Successful

In an effort to check kleptomania-
cal tendencies that had developed in
Miss Jeanette Mitchell, daughter OF
William X. Mitchell, a prominent
board of trade broker of Chicago. and
to restore the mental balance of the
young woman, DR.. A. J. Ochsner per-
formed an operation that, to all APP
pearances, has been entirely success
full If successful as the surgeons
hope the operation will mark a step
forward in the science of medicine
and surgery.
What the operation was is a secret
that DR.. Ochsner is sedulously guard
ing. II will not discuss it,.
He will not tell the natuer of it. The
young woman's father is authority
for the statement that the operation
has been all that was hoped for.
Eminent surgeons of Chicago seem
ed surprised to learn that a Chicago
man had been so daring as to per
form an operation for the cure Of
kleptomania.
Il have never heard of such a case"
said DR. John B. Murphy. 81 would
not say that such an operation might
be successful neither would | say
that it might not be. | should want
to know all about it first.
There have been operations that
have removed criminal tendencies
from human beings. Most of these
have been in the brain. 1t might
have been possible that the operation
consisted of the removal of pressure
on tha brain II might have bppn of
some other part of the anatomy. 1t
is daring thing to say that klepto-
mania can be cured by an operation"

explained that he had gone to the
barn to tend the turkeys and when he
heard the team drive up thought he
would shoot at the occupants of the
wagon just for fun. Later he said
this tale was untrue but that the
shots we're inspired by i'll treatment
received by Mr.. Howard
Mr.. Howard denied that he mis-
treated the boy and said he knew of
no reason why he should have made
an attempt on his life officer Ed

tilted to the effect that Devarne had
admitted to him that he did the
shooting and explained his motive in
