TERM IN PRISON
VERY PROBABLE
Tennessee Sheriff Who Allowed
Prisoner to Be LynChed in
Deep Trouble.

Washington, May 24-The case OF
John F. Ship. sheriff of Hamilton
county. Tennessee, and nine others
charged with contempt of the supreme
court of the United States in connection
with the lynching Of a negro named Ed.
johnson at Chattanooga in March. 1905.
was finally disposed of by that court TO-
day IN an opinion by Chief Justice FuI-
Ter, which directed that an attachment
be issued for Ship. his deputy, Gibson.
and Defendants Williams, Nolan, Pad
gett and May. The information as 10
Deputy Sheriff Galloway and Justice
and Ward, three of the defendants, was
dismissed
The charge of contempt against Sher-
III Ship and his cOdefendants was due
to the fact that when johnson was
lynched he was constructively in the
custody of the court. Only a month be-
fore the negro had been found guilty
of assault and had been sentenced to
death.

MORE ACTIVITY
WILL Be SHOWN
Death of Rogers Likely to Be
Followed by Aggressive Am
aIgamated Campaign.
lspeeiaI 10 The Heraldl

New York, May 24-That the death of
H. H. Rogers should be accompanied
by rumors of a combination Of the
Amalgamated and Cole Ryan properties
is not strange, in view of the close af-
filiations of the two groups in ques-
ton. John D. Ryan. managing director
Of the Amalgamated Copper company,
is slated for the presidency of the COM
pany. The United Metals Selling com
pany. of which L. H BroughtOn, SON.
in-lsW of the late II. H. Rogers, is the
head, handles the copper of the Anal
gamated and the COle-Ryan group.
The international Smelling & Refining
company, a Cole-Ryan proposition. IS
closely affiliated with the United Met
ais Selling company. through the for
mer's ownership of the Raritan refinery.
The latter handles the copper of which
the United Metals Selling company IS
the agent. The Metals Selling company
owns about 10000 shares of the issued
stock of 100000 of the International
company. The Amalgamated holds an
important option on a large block of
Butte Coalition stock. another Cole
Ryan property.
1t is unlikely that a combination of
the Amalgamated and Cole-Ryan prop
critics will be brought about in the near
future but it is admitted by interests
in close touch with the two groups
that such development is a probable
ity. II. H. Rogers organized the Anal
gamated company. but after the acqui-
sition Of the Boston & Montana made
no further efforts to broaden the scope
of Amalgamated. Greater activity may
now be expected. Had the Amalga-
mated started an aggressive campaign
in acquiring certain mines that were in
a position to produce copper at a cost
Of several cents pound below that of
the Amalgamated group" said one cop
per producer. THE shares would be
much better off TODAY"

LEGATION of the case by the department
