Ayres, former marshal OF Jellico, KY
was killed, and several others were
more or less wounded during an cleo.
ton riot at the voting place In thaI
town about 4 o'clock this afternoon
The trouble originated in an encolnt

through which Ayres broke 10 inter. .

drew a pistol on Thompson, but be-

Sampson Bolton over the former ;
wife. He was sentenced to two years
fn the penitentiary for the killing and
served the time, returning to Jellico
only about a month ago. Ayres was
about 80 years Of age. The sons OF
Bolton who were in the crowd, were
arrested as were several other partc-
ipants. Excitement is intense.
Prosperity has arrived according to
a statement issued by the bureau OF
statistics Of the department OF COM
merce and labor. During September
the business of the country and the
movement of railway freight cars
reached proportions which excelled
those of the same month last year. In
fact, the bulletin declares, while the
number of idle cars at the end OF last
month had not altogether disappeared,
there were indications that o car
shortage would quickly develop. These
improved conditions are most pro-
nounced In the coal and iron trades.
The movement Of lumber also was
somewhat heavier. From virginia
and the Carolinas the shipment or
lumber increased 56 per cent over
September Of last year, but there was
q sharp falling of in the quantity OF
yellow pine received at New YORK
from that received in August, al
though the receipts were double what
they were one year ago. There was
considerable slump in the receipts OF
grain and -four at the four leading
seaports, and the receipts Of grain at
fifteen Of the principal interior mar
kets likewise were below the aggre-
gate for September, 1908. A similar
condition is uncovered In the ship
ment Of packing house products from
Chicago, the chief slump being on
canned meats, which show relative
loss over the corresponding figures OF
1908, Of approximately As per cent.
The report shows that the September
total of cars handled was 2,99S,O3S,
or almost 10 per cent in excess Of the
corresponding month Of last year.
- washington, November 2: The
district court Of appeals today affirmed
the decree OF the supreme court OF
the District of Columbia, adjudging
President Samuel Gompers, Secretary
Frank Morrison and Vice President
John Mitchell Of the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor. guilty Of contempt or
court In the Bucks Stove and Range
case. Chief Justice Sheppard dissent
ed from the courts opinion on con-
stitutional grounds. The lower court
had imposed sentences Of IL months
in the Gompers case;
nine months In Mitchell's case and
six months in Morrison's case Tor
their failure to obey the order OF the
court directing: them to desist from
placing the Bucks Stove and Range
company Of st. Louis, Mo-, on their
unfair list in the prosecution Of a boy
colt against the corporation. None Of
the labor leaders were in court when
the decision was rendered. President
Gompers will make an attempt to ap-
peal to the supreme court OF the
United States and no action toward
the arrest Of the men will be taken
until the matter Of appeal Is deter
mined. The court in its decision held
that IL an organization Of citizens,
however large" may disobey the man
dates of the court the same reason
ing would render them subject to in
defiance. Both are subject
to the law and neither are above it.
II a citizen, though he may honestly
believe that his rights have been in
vaded, may elect when and to what
extent he will obey the mandates OF
the court and the requirements Of the
law as interpreted by the court, in
stead Of pursuing the orderly course
of appeal, not only to the courts but
to the government itself, would be
reduced to a state Of anarchy.
