JUDGE GORMAN LEN|ENT
WITH GEORGE B. COX
0ismisses Contempt Charges
Against Banker and Political
Leader of Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, Ohio. March 15-In a
sensational utterance Judge Frank Cor
man of the court Of common pleas today
dismissed the contempt charges against
George B. Cox, banker and political lead
er. He declared the utterances Of Cox,
which were published after the latter,s
indictment for perjury, were "insolent and
false"
In dismissins the charges Judge Cor
man followed the finding Of a majority
Of the committee Of three attorneys ap-
pointed to investigate the circumstances
Of the interview.
Two Of these men held that neither
Cox nor the newspaper that published
his remarks regarding the grand jury
and the court was in contempt. The
other member of the committee virtually
absolved the newspaper. but held that it
was in the province of the court to de-
termine whether Cox should be held on
the contempt charge.
fact that Judge German was free to fol-
low either portion Of the committee, the
courtroom was damned when he took the
bench today.
Bribery Trial Held Back.
Interest in the case overshadowed the
Baschang bribery trial. which was held
back for Judge Germans reading of his
decision on Cox.
The trial was pushed still further into
the background when it was learned that
!unacy warrant had been sworn out
against William B. Hayden. former court
bailiff, who was dismissed following
charges from the grand jury that he
had, with County Clerk Durr. attempted
to influence witnesses before that body.
Durr was held liable In contempt yes
terday. but Hayden was exonerated. 1t
is understood that the latter confessed
to the grand jury having extorted small
sums from saloonkeepers in the
wicked strip
In his finding on the Cox case Judge
German said in part:

court that George B. Cox. when he pub

DONORS TO HAVE SAY
ON BAHLESH|P SILVER
Givers May Be Choosers, Says
Secretary Meyer, Answer
ing Utah Critics.

Unless there is a radical change in the
policy Of the Navy Department in re-
gard to the treatment of public dona-
tons to warships the silver service do
mated to the battleship Utah by the citi-
zens of that state will be accepted by the
department, In spite of the protests
against such action by various religious
organizations. The objection to the ac-
ceptance of this service Is based on the
fact that one of the principal pieces bears
a portrait Of Brigham Young and a pic
ture Of the Mormon Tabernacle at Salt
Lake City. The position Of the Navy De-
partment in this matter is shown in a
circular letter signed by the Secretary
Of the Navy and sent to various cor
respondents who have sent protests to the
department. This letter is based on the
idea that the actual design OF such dopa-
tons is controlled by the state concerned
and follows the precedent adopted in the
case Of the silver service containing the
portrait of Jefferson Davis. presented by
the people Of Mississippi to the battle
ship of that name.
Secretary Meyers Letter.
In his letter to the protestants
against the acceptance of the Utah
silver service Secretary Meyer said:
THE cost Of the silver service pre-
scented to a battleship by the state
after which it is named Is usually de-
frayed by state appropriation or by
popular subscription. and for this rea-
son the department has consistently
refused to interfere with or attempt
to dictate the inscriptions or engrav-
ingS to be placed thereon. The design
Of the silver service for the Utah is
a matter in which the people Of that
state are directly interested. and IL is
the opinion Of the department that 1t
would be injudicious and inadvisable
to raise any question in connection
with the design to be placed thereon"

ADOPT PLAN OF Mr.. CHASE
Capt. Oyster, President, Authorized
to Name Committee to Begin
Active Campaign.

The movement inaugurated by p. b.
Chase to obtain increased pay for govern
ment clerks took definite form last even
ing when the Chamber of Commerce gave
It's unanimous Endorsement and planned
for we'll organized campaign.
Can't. James +. Oyster. president of the
chamber. who was authorized to select
a central committee of twenty represent
alive citizens, began this morning to go
over the list of available persons. lie

body, which is to collect and distribute
100000. within a few days.
AS an advisory board to this committee
Of washingtonians eighty members are to
be appointed. one by the governor OF each
state and the remainder by the mayor OF
every large city. 1t Is expected that
bureau TO regulate the crusade will be
opened here next week.
The central committee will be composed
of business and professional men. and.
according TO Capt oyster. it will be
board highly capable of pushing the
cause to a prompt and satisfactory con-
clusion.
Mr.. Chase Explains Movement.
MIR. Chase. who attended the session OF
the chamber last night, explained again
in detail the movement launched in be-
half of the $4,000 government employees.
He also formally offered $1,000 as
starter for the fund which, it is hoped,
will be raised in a short time.
A Lisner chairman of the subcommittee
which submitted favorable report on
the Chase plan, suggested that a COM
mittee of five be appointed to further
the interests of the clerks in Congress,
and that former member of Congress
be retained by them to work with IN
dividual members. Mr.. Iisner said ne
knew of a man available for such work.
Mr.. Chase then described his plan and
impressed upon his hearers the impor-
lance of starting the work right away.
LET this committee open its bureau
and begin to educate the voters of the
country to the necessity of helping the
army of underpaid employees" he said.
'AlI this far has been talk; which is good.
but.-which- should be followed by real
achievement l suggested a committee of
one hundred. to be backed by fund OF
one hundred thousand dollars. l am sure
we can get some action at the coming
session of Congress. 1t will not take
long for this committee to organize and
get to work"
Capt. Oyster to Appoint.
At the close Of Mr. Chase's speech the
chamber voted to amend Mr.. Lisner's re-
port to authorize the appointment of
committee of twenty-one representatives
by Capt. Oyster.
Those who favor this latest plan for the
Improvement Of District and federal en-
ployes, especially the clerks themselves,
were elated today at the action of the
Chamber of Commerce in giving new
impetus to the crusade.
BY means of literature and personal ap-
peals from the clerks, voters in all states
will be asked to use their influence on
members of Congress to obtain aid for
the proposed bill

WOULD GUST LIQUOR
MEN FROM SCHOOL BOARD

That the clergymen OF the city are
stirred over the reinstatement OF
Principal Ellis, OF the Duffield school,
following his dismissal because OF be-
ing arrested on a charge OF being
drunk. was evidenced in the regular
meeting OF the Baptist Minister'S con-
ference in the Woodward-ave. Baptist
church. Monday morning. when the
Rev. n. T. Hafer, pastor OF the Ferry
ave. Baptist church, brought up the
question OF the conference joining

other civic body in a campaign to
Dust some Of the school inspectors

STREET CAR ORDINANCE
STILL FAR FROM COMPLETE
Measure Will Not Be Ready For
Submission To Council.
Tuesday Evening.

All day Sunday. Corporation Coun-
sci Hally labored in his Office in the
city hall, clearing up some OF the
points in dispute in the Thompson
street car ordinance. but the measure
Is as yet far from completion and
there is no possibility of it's being
submitted to the council Tuesday
night.
The ordinance, as originally drafted,
has been set up in type for the sake
OF convenience. and It makes six and
one-half "galleys" OF BREWER. II put
in the form of lawyers brief, IL
would make a fair-sized little docu-
ment.
The delay is due partly TO the fact
that each tine a certain section Is
agreed to, each side must submit the
draft TO it's advisors, OF whom there
are about a half dozen on each side.
II the advisors find anything TO crit
iciZe in the draft, then another con
ference is held as soon as convent
ent and the point ironed out. All THIS
takes time, and while IL Is not neces-
sarily a momentous job. IL Is an I'M
portant one and must necessarily pro-
coed slowly.
Mr. Hally is beginning TO show the
strain of the long siege. He has been
burning the midnight oil for several
weeks now, and sometimes, after
working half the night. has been on
the job again bright and early in the
morning. He will be candidate Tor
another good rest when this job Is
finally finished.

PRISONER RAVES AS
HIS TRIAL PROGRESSES

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. 20
That Bertram q. Spencer. the Massa-
chusetts DR.. JekyliMr. Hyde, on trial
for the murder of Miss Martha Black
stone. could not simulate the nervous
actions which have marked him dur
ing the progress OF the trial. Is the
statement today of physicians who
have observed him in the court room.
All day long during the trial, Spen-
Ger sits with his legs crossed and the
appraised right leg vibrates steadily.
Doctors declare the leg vibration is a
nervous action over which he has no
control They decline to say, how
ever, that IL Is a sure symptom OF In
sanity.
Eugene r. Farrell, the first witness
today. told of watching Spencer for
25 days while prisoner in the Hamp-
den county Jail, and OF the alleged
murderer's queer antics.
When we played cards or check
ers. lie always said cheated him.
said Farrell "One day he jumped up,
threw the cards on the table and
walked TO the door, where he stood
crying for some time. Then he shook
hands with me and said: Forgive
me, Gene; that's an old falling OF
mine. He would run around the cell
all day, chasing flies
Mrs. Lucy T. Lewis. of Oakland,
Cal, said Spencer called on her In
Oakland six or seven years ago.
He walked around the room con-
stantiy," said Mrs Lewis. He was
greatly excited The only cause for
r.
him how his mother was.
HE said his father struck his moth
er in the face until she was black ana
blue. and dragged her around by the
hair"
AS Mrs. Lewis testified, Spencer
fell into a violent hysterical spell,
weeping loudly. His wife sought TO
quiet him, but failed.
