SIREN TO GREET BATTLE FLEET
Shrill Salute for Cape Henry Light
Station to Announce Approach.

The battleship fleet on its return in the
latter part Of this month from its world
circling tour will receive a roaring well
come as 1t passes through the Virginia
capes into Hampton roads.
The big steam siren at Cape Henry
light station, which has been out Of or
der. is being repaired and will be ready
for service before the big ships come in
sight of the capes. Be that time night or
day the sailors on the fleet will hear its
shrill salute when they are still many
miles out at sea.
Its notes will be a signal to the resi-
dents of the country about the cape that
the ships are in sight and that they had
better hurry to the cape if they want to
see them come in. Many persons will
take advantage OF the notice given by
the big fog signal to witness the arrival
of the fleet.

To Reorganize French Navy.

PARIS. February 3.-Alfred Picard, who
was named minister of marine in sue
cession to NJ. Thomson last year for the
purpose of reorganizing and carrying out
reforms In the French navy. has pre-
scented to the cabinet an extensive plan
of development which. not counting new
ships. involves an expenditure of S45,-
100000.

er to go to Chattanooga to take testi-
mony as to the facts.

That testimony has been taken, has
been submitted to the court and has been
printed in volume of 1,275 pages. 1t is
expected that Attorney General Bona
parte will soon ask for a hearing.
The case is unusual. i understand there
is no precedent for 1t. 1t hangs upon the
recognized right of the court to punish
persons who interfere with the execution
Of its orders. That will not be denied.
1t Is the general opinion Of those who
are familiar with the case that the sheriff
of Chattanooga and the twenty-six other
men who were engaged in the lynching of
Johnson will be so severely punished as
to furnish wholesome example.

open the cell in which Johnson was con-
fined. took him to point short dis
lance from the Jail and hanged him by
| the neck until he was dead.
| Sheriff Ship and jeremiah Gibson. the
regular deputy, made no effort to prevent
the mob from taking johnson from the
Jail. and. indeed. showed their sympathy
with and assisted in the lynching. All
aware that the Supreme Court Of the
United States had taken jurisdiction of
| Johnson's case and had lynched him to
prevent that court from hearing his ap-
peal and deferring his execution.
! When these facts became known twen-
ty-Seven persons who were engaged in
| the outrage, including the sheriff and his
regular deputy, were summoned before
the court to show cause why they should
not be punished for contempt. All are
residents Of Chattanooga.
They appeared with several lawyers,
| chief of whom was Judson Harmon. for
| merly Attorney General of the United
States and now Governor of Ohio. who
first plea was that the Supreme Court had
no jurisdiction over cases of contempt
which occurred outside of the courtroom,
| and secondly that a court could not sit
| in judgment upon a case to which 1t was
party.
Justice Holmes Opinion.
| Having heard arguments on those points
| by Judge Harmon and Solicitor General
Hoyt of the Department of Justice. JUS
! tice Holmes delivered the opinion Of the
| court. in which he said:
1.-THE question is whether the acts
charged constitute contempt. We are
of the opinion that they do, and that their
| character does not depend upon a nice
| inquiry whether, after the order made by
| this court, the sheriff was to be regarded
as bailee of the United States. or still
held the prisoner in the name of the state
alone. Either way the order suspended
| further proceedings by the state against
the prisoner. and required that he should
be forthcoming to abide the further order
| Of the court.
1T may be found that what created the
mob and led to the crime was the un-
| willingness of its members to submit to
| the delay required for the trial of the
appeal. From that to an intent to pre-
vent that delay and the hearing Of the
appeal Is a short step. If that step was
| taken the contempt Is proved
On the other point, that the court is a
party to the case, and therefore is sitting
In judgment upon its own acts. Justice
Holmes said:
The court is not a party. There is
nothing in the case that affects the judges
| in their own persons. Their concern is
| only that the law should be obeyed and
| enforced. and their interest is no other
| than they represent in every case"
| An order was entered releasing the
| twenty-seven defendants, who are ac-
| cused of participating in the lynching. on
bail Of 81 900 each. James D. Maher of
Washington was appointed commission

Status Of Other Claims.

The other three claims have been
submitted to and decided by the courts.
whose decision the claimants agreed
to accept as final when they entered
into the contracts. They cannot COM
plain of the character Of the court
because 1t was the same when they
entered into the contract as it was
when the decision was pronounced
If the decision had been in their ia
vor they would not have appealed TO
our government in violation of their
agreement not to do so. 1t is simply a
case of might is right"
Eighty-five millions of people make
demands upon two a half millions of
people. which the latter have deter
mined to- resist. If the relations have
been reversed. no such trouble as Mr..
every have arisen.
A great nation like the United States
can afford to be just. If not generous. In
the consideration of such matters, some
attention should be paid to the effect
upon other countries.
For fear Of the "big stick" every other
American republic, when 1t enters into a
contract with a citizen of the United
States. insists upon stipulation similar
to those in the Venezuela contracts.
under which 1t is agreed specifically, that
all questions that may arise shall be SUBJ
mftted to the local courts. whose 1udg-
ment shall be final: and the citizen Of
the United States, in signing the contract
binds himself not to appeal for the inter-
vention or protection of his own govern
ment.
Clause in All Contracts.
This clause is included in every Mexican
contract and concession. and they are
numerous. 1t has become necessary, be-
cause the government of the United
States always appears as an attorney and
not as Judge when international disputes
! arise.
While injustice may be done in the
local courts, the contractor or claimant
| takes that risk when he enters into the
contract or applies for the concession.
| That is one Of the most important points
| to be discussed and considered by Ameri-
can syndicates which undertake to do
| business in foreign countries.
The claimants in these Venezuelan cases
did not overlook this faA. Their con-
| tracts and concessions were drawn with
q due regard for the risks involved
| sympathy because their claims have been
decided against them.

in its. treatment of these Venezuelan

Monticello is considerably stirred up
over the rumOr that the Atlantic Coast
Line intended to build a line Of road
from Perry to New Amsterdam, via
Tallahassee, leaving out that city as
originally proposed. Railroad people
are usually alert to their own interests,
and if the Coast Line sees that its
traffic would be greatly increased by
building into Tallahassee and New Am
sterdam, thus piercing the noted to-
baccO belt, the inconvenience to Mon
tieello would not be considered. Since
the towns mentioned have given so
much publicity to the rumOr there must
be something in it, and it behOOves the
leading citizens of Tallahassee to inter-
est themselves convince the officials Of
the road that the line from Perry to
the Capital City, and thence north,
would be the most profitable one to
construct. Tallahassee True Democrat.
