WILSON VALID
SUPREME COURT RENDERS DE-
cIsIoN IN CASE OF PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED WIRELESS
TELEGRAPH COMPANY.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, May 15.-The supreme
court Of the United States today ap-
proved the recent sentence of con-
tempt imposed in the New York courts
on Christopher G. Wilson, president of
the United Wireless Telegraph Com
pany because of refusal to permit the
examination of the Company's books.
By this decision the federal govern
ment won far reaching legal contro-
versy in that officials of corporations
cannot refuse to give up possession of
corporation books for examination by
grand Juries lest they themselves be
incriminated thereby.
The sentence Of CONTEMPT imposed
in New York courts on Wilson were
based upon his action in defeating the
attempt of a grand jury to examine
the books Of his corporation.
In 1910, a subpoena addressed to the
United Wireless Telegraph Company
and not to any individual, as is usually
the case, was served on the officials Of
the company, directing that certain
books of the company be produced for
examination by the grand jury, which
was Investigating "an alleged violation
Christopher c. Wilson" 1t is said that
the investigation had to do with vio-
lation of the postal law. Wilson him
self appeared in court to answer to the
subpoena, but declined to allow the
grand jury to examine the books and
refused to turn them over to the di-
rectors of the company for production
in court.

Juarez, Mex. May 15.--Indirect as
surances that the Mexican government
is inclined to accept the propositions
submitted unofficially within the last
two days by the insurrectos for the
establishment of peace were received
here today by Rafelo Hernandez, one
Of the go-betweens in the negotia-
tions. The government is believed to
be ready to reorganize the cabinet and
give the insurrectos four members out
of eight, and to allow the revolution
lists to name outright fourteen out of
twenty-seven state governors and by
mutual agreement select the remain
ing thirteen governors.
More definite advices giving the atti-
tude of the government are expected
before the day is over.
1t is not believed that Col. Rabago,
who last night was reported to be
marching on Juarez, will provoke any
engagement at this time, though the
insurrectos are taking no chances and
are preparing to meet him.
The belief exists that the federal
will not send him march
ing orders, in view of the probable
success Of the negotiations.
