HOQUlAM HONORS MEMORY
OF CAPT. ROBERT GRAY

Hoquiam, May 13.-It was 119 years
ago last Sunday that Capt. Robert
Gray, of the American ship Columbia
on a voyage of exploration along the
North Pacific coast, sighted the mar
row entrance of the harbor which now
bears his name, and laying his course
by a great lone spruce tree on the
north point, sailed his vessel inside
and anchored. He landed near the
tree and his accounts of the discovery
mention the lone tree.
Last Monday the work of Capt
Gray was comemmorated by the loca
chapter of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution-Robert Gray chapter
by the unwilling of bronze tablet
set in a great granite boulder which
had been moved to resting place un
der the lone tree. The tablet is in
scribed:

pers, John Mitchell and Frank Morri-
son, president, vice president and Sec
rotary of the American Federation Of
Labor, respectively, stepped from the
shadow of the Jail yesterday when the
supreme court of the United States set
aside their sentences of imprisonment
for contempt, growing out of the litiga-
ton between the Buck Stove & Range
Company, of st. Louis, and the fedora
ton. The decision has left with the
lower court the right to reopen the
contempt proceedings, but the case
probably is ended.
Civil Contempt.
The basis of the courts opinion was
that the proceedings brought against
the labor officers was for civil con-
tempt, which could be punished only
by the imposition of a fine. The SEN
tence of the lower court to imprison'
ment was the penalty for criminal con-
tempt, and in the premises, therefore
it was not legal punishment.
The case, which grew out Of the So
called boycott of the stove corporation
by the American Federation of Labor

citation, composed of the principal
timber owners and lumber mill oper-
ators in California, Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana, and headed
by Judge Albert l.. Flewelling of Spo-

the needs and methods of saving life

the following simple rules:
Don't toss away burning matches or
tobacco.
Don't make camp fire in leaves,
rotten wood or against logs, where it
may spread or where you cannot be
sure it is out.
Never leave fire until it is out.
Don't burn slashing in the dry sea-

Put out any fire you find, if you
can; if you cannot do so, notify a fire
warden, some other public officer or
the land owner.

of series of questions and answers,

Dickinson RESIGNS

YORK, ACCEPTS PLACE
THUS VACATED.
Business Reasons Given for Step by
Secretary Of War, but Naturally
There Are Rumers-NeW Appointee
Was RooseveIt's Candidate for Gov
ernor Of New York.

Washington, May 13.-Secretary OF
War Jacob M. Dickinson, of Tonnes
see. the Democratic member of Presi-
dent .Tafts cabinet, has resigned.
Henry L. Stimson, of New York, re-
Gently defeated Republican candidate
for governor of that state, has been
given the portfolio. This announce
ment was made from the White House
last night In the letters exchanged
between the president and Mr.. Dick
inson no reason other than that Of
pressing private affairs is given for
the secretary's retirement.
Secretary Dickinson will go to his
Tennessee home Immediately upon the
qualification of his successor. He ex-
poets to devote his attention to bust
ness. He was engaged in the practice
of law when President Taft appointed
him secretary Of war, March, 1909.
Second Retirement.
He is the second member of Mr..
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger
having severed his connection with
the presidents family only B. few
months ago. Coincident with the an
nouncement of Mr.. Dickinson's retire
ment came that of the appointment Of
C. S. Wilmington, of Herkimer. N. Y,
to be assistant treasurer of the United
States in New York.
Mr. Stimson was the Roosevelt can
didate for governor, while Mr.: Milling
ton was former member of the
house from the Twenty-seventh New
York district, and is close friend Of
Vice President Sherman.
Friends of the president were
pleased over the political outlook.
Reasons Suggested.
Unofficially Washington discussed
with relish the resignation of the Sec
rotary of war. Unofficially, also, there
were those who found other reasons
than that given in his letters.
Mr.. Dickinson is a Democrat His
presence in the cabinet of Republi-
can president has not been looked
upon with favor by some of Mr.. Taft's
political advisers, who were of the
opinion that the office of secretary of
war should be held by some one of
the presidents own party and who
also pointed out that Mr.. Dickinson
might prove source of embarrass-
ment when the 1912 presidential cam
paign begins. Naturally, Mr.. Dickin-
son often found the discussion in the
cabinet of party measures a personal
embarrassment.
There were others who thought Mr..
Dickinson had incurred some criti-
cisms by his conduct of the war Of
flee. AS was pointed out recently,
there have been reports of friction
over the Mexican situation between
the state department and the war de-
partment.
| In some quarters it was asserted
that Secretary of State Knox was be-
ing overshadowed by Mr.. Dickinson
and there were reports that the for
mer contemplated resigning, but these
met with official denials. There had
been no hint that Mr.. Dickinson con-
templated retirement.

Other great corporations whose acts
may be called into question will be
dealt with according to the merits OF
their particular cases.
The court was unanimous as to the
main features Of the decision, Justice
Harlan dissenting only as to the limi-
tation. Of the application Of the Sher'
man antitrust law.
President Taft and cabinet will i'm
mediately consider the entire trust
situation and the advisabifity OF press

A decision in the tobacco trust case,
which was expected simultaneously,
was not announced and may be handed
down May 90.
Washington, May 15.-The Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey and its
nineteen subsidiary corporations were
declared today by the supreme court
of the United States to be conspiracy
and combination in restraint Of trade.
The dissolution of the combination
was ordered to take place within six
months.
Thus ended the tremendous strug-
gle on the part of the government to
put down, by authority of law, COM
bination which it is said was men,
ace to the industrial and economic ad-
vancement of the entire country.
At the same time, the court inter-
preted the Sherman antitrust law so
as to limit it's application to acts of
undue" restraint of trade, and not
every restraint of trade. It was on
this point that the only discordant
note was heard in the court. Justice
Harlan dissented, holding that cases
already decided by the court had de-
termined-once for all-that the word
undue" or unreasonable" or similar
words, we're not in the statute.
Harlan Dissents.
He declared that the reasoning of
the court in arriving at its finding was,
in effect, legislation which. belonged
in every instance to congress and not
to the courts.
Ever since the decree in this case in
the lower court, the United States cir
cult court for the eastern district of
Missouri, was announced, hope has
been expressed by the business

fled so as not to interfere with what

The captain of an ocean steamer in
