new CONTEMPT
CASE Is bE:C(jNj
Judge Wright Proceeds Against
Labor Leaders.
MAY SEND THEM TO JAIL
Names Bucks Company Lawyers to
Report If Gompers, Mitchell and
Morrison Violated Courts Order.

Washington, May 1.-THE supreme
court of the district of Columbia, on
las own initiative, instituted new pro-
ceedings for alleged contempt against
Samuel Gompers, president; John
Mitchell, vice president, and Frank
Morrison, secretary, of the American
Federation of Labor.
The new proceedings are taken in
conformity with the hint given in the
supreme courts decision.
The sentences of Imprisonment i'm
posed on these men by the court ere
revoked by the United States supre ne
court and the case remanded to the
District of Columbia supreme court,
but under the proceedings started new
Jail sentences may be imposed and
the entire case reopened on its merits
Mr. Gompers when told of the action
of the district court said:
Justice Wright can go just as far
as he likes. He will find that we are
not running away not even from
him.
The United States supreme court, in
setting aside the sentences of impris-
onment, held that the case on which
the lower court had acted constituted
a civil contempt against the Bucks
Stove and Range company, and that
the offense was punishable only by
fine to be recovered by the Wronged
corporation.
Justice Lamar, in handing down the
opinion, called attention to the fact,
however, that if the lower court itself
felt aggrieved it could bring criminal
contempt proceedings in the premises
and inf1ict a Jail sentence.
The opinion, in closing, read:
The judgment of the court of ap-
peals and the supreme court of the
District of Columbia are revoked and
the case remanded with direction that
the contempt proceedings instituted
by the Bucks Stove and Range com
pany be dismissed, but without preju-
dice to the power and right OF the SUI
preme court of the District Of Colum-
bia to punish by proper proceeding
contempt, if any, committed against
it."
The lower court has been quick to
take advantage of the opportunity af-
forded to reopen the case. AS the. labor
dispute which brought the case into
court had been ended, it was presumed
that nothing further would be heard
of the case.
Justice Wright, of the District of
Columbia supreme court, who had i'm
posed the revoked sentences of twelve,
nine and six months upon Gompers,
Mitchell and Morrison. in instigating
the proceedings, appointed Joseph j.
Darlington, Daniel DavenpO and
James NJ. Beck, counsel for the Bucks
Stove and Range company. as a COM
mittee to inquire forthwith" into the
question of whether the labor leaders
had violated the courts order.
The committee was instructed to re-
port to the court whether, in the opin-
ion of the committee, the labor leaders
were guilty of contempt in violating
the Injunction against the publication
of the I'VE Don't Patronize" list in
the American Federationist, the Off
cial organ of the labor federation.

FREE H0FFSTOT OF
BRIBERY CHARGE
PittsbuTg Jury kcquits Banker
in Graft Case.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 17.-Frank N,
Hoffstat, the banker and manufacturer,
was acquitted on the charge of brib-
cry in connection with the bank de-
pository ordinance exposed in the
Pittsburg councilmanic graft crusade.
A week ago a jury disagreed in a
case of conspiracy against Hoffstot.
The case had been on trial for two
days, and after the failure of an ef-
fort by his attorneys to have the court
instruct the jury to return a verdict
finding him not guilty, Hoffstot went
on the witness stand in his own be-
half.
He denied that he had any. knowl
edge of the bribery Of ceHneilmen to
pass the bank depository ordinances
until after the exposure Of the coun-
cilmanic scandal.
The defense in the case gained an
important point when Judge John D.
Shafer sustained an objection to ex-
Councilman Charles Stewart, telling
what he did with $4,000, which was
turned over to him in New York.
The defense claimed that If he
could not testify that he brought the
money into Allegheny county he could
not say he distributed it among the
cOuncilmen.

STEEL TRUST PROBE
ORDERED BY HOUSE
Committee Of Nine Authorized
to Go Ahead.

Washington, May 17.-An investiga-
tion of the United States Steel cor
poration to determine whether it is
operating in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law was ordered by the
house when it adopted the Stanley
resolution providing for such an in
quiry.
The resolution, which is aimed to
disclose whether the United States
Steel corporation has any connection
with the Pennsylvania railroad, the
Pennsylvania Steel company, the Cam
bria Steel company and other con-
Germs, was adopted without opposition
following short debate. A committee
of nine members to be elected by the
house will be authorized to conduct
the investigation.
Mr.. Stanley declared that the char
acter of the United States Steel cor
poration's charter and the method of
its organization made it a manifest
violation of the law, as interpreted in
the Northern Securities case.
Referring to the supreme courts
decision in the Standard Oil case hold
ing that a reasonable restraint of
trade was lawful, Mr. Stanley said he
would not discuss the law passed by
I the supreme court"

The citizen, who carried mail a ru-

the memorable rules of the depart

WILD SILK WORMS
They Weave Their Thread in
Skeins Inside Their Huge
Nests.

The world is indebted to the Chin
ese for the discovery of the virtues of
the silkworm. It's product was un-
known in Rome until the time of Ju-
Illus Caesar, and so costly was the
material that even the Emperor Azure
liam refused dless of this lustrious
fabric to his empress. Now it is nur-
tured in almost every country, and its
products are within the reach of all.
Besides the several domesticated spec
les, there is wild silkworm found in
Central America which weaves bag
like structure two feet in depth that
hangs from the trees. At distance
the nest resembles a huge matted
cobweb The insect makes no cocoon,
but weaves the silk in layers and
skeins around the inside of the nest
From Tegucigalpa there were sent
to England some years ago about six
pounds of this silk. There it was
made into handkerchiefs not easily de-
tected from common silk of equal
strength and delicate texture.
There is a curious silk producing
spider in Central America, the arana
de soda, which may be seen hulrying
along with load of fine silk on its
back, from which trails numerous del
icate filaments -Harper's Weekly.
