giving Day place on the presidents
table are New England products.
Rhode Island turkey, Cape Cod cram
berries, and Massachusetts pumpkin
pie, three absolutely necessary ad-
juncts OF the holidays keeping, form
a part, perhaps the chief part, of the
presidents feast days provender.
The president has eaten many
Thanksgiving dinners in Ohio, at least
two in the Philippines and if memory
is not at fault, he ate one in Cuba.
He never has missed his turkey, for
be it known that persons Of New
England ancestery, no matter where
they live, always take precautions to
see to it that when the last Thursday
in November comes, turkey, cranberry
and pie shall have place within the
larder.
Holiday al the Capital.
Washington's native population does
not make as much of Thanksgiving
day as it does Of Christmas, for
Christmas is the great day in the
south and a large part of the capital
city's population is composed of south
ern people. 1t is a general holiday,
however, and it is marked in every
home by what the children of the
family call big dinner" The mar
kets of the city are filled with game,
and in fact, game in many households
which can afford the luxury, takes the
place of turkey.
The cook at the White House ex-
GELS at southern dishes. 1t is a good
many years since southerner sat
in the chief chair of state, but north
erners coming to Washington to live
always have a first desire to taste
the famed cooking of the south. So
it is that whether Ohio Or. New York,
or Indiana or any other state north
of the line is represented in the White
House a goodly share Of the dishes

of the other claims and would 32 of them have suffered their joint funds to be expended in driving the expen- sive tunnels on one claim?
 Facts Speak Plainly
 "A further discussion of the facts is not necessary. They speak for them selves. and speak plainly. There was not a any time a single act perform cd that connects any claimant with the precise tract be claimed to locate. There was not a dollar spent by any locater individually or by agents on the land he entered but every act done and each dollar disbursed were for the purpose of determining whether the field as a whole contained workable de- posits of coal
 Prior to the hearing IS of the claim ants admitted under the solemn sane tity of an oa tn that they proceeded from the beginning with the under standing that when the patents were secured they could form a company for the development of the property
 The plan from the outset was to ae- ouire coal field at Joint expense to be developed for the common benefit. There was not at any time departure from the original compact save the substitution of the salary to Cunning ham for one-eighth interest he intend ed to secure in the several claims.
 carrying into effect of acquiring this coal field for the common use and benefit of the members of the asso- citation, claims were located and en- tries made in the name of individuals, but the. making of these locations and entries in the manner indicated wore means to an end and the names of the individuals were used only to effect a colorable appliance with the law.
 "They exercised no choice in the se- lection of thier claims, manifested no interest in their individual values and except perhaps Baker, sought no in- formation as to their respective loca- tions. The field jointly acquired by all of them and explored at the common ex- pense was the only object of their so- licitude."

Chicago, June 26-Judge Honore, in whose court the trial of Evelyn Arthur See, founder of "absolute life," Is being conducted, this afternoon ordered that the jury be locked up the remainder of the trial on representation by the de- fense that the jurymen might be inf1u- enced by cartoons and reports appearing In the newspapers.

 'Do you still believe in absolute life, Mir. Burnham asked.
 Yes, indeed I do."
 "Is absolute life a revelation?"
 "Yes, I suppose so," replied the witt ness.
 Did you get any revelations your self7"
 Yes; lots of them.'
 Asked who, besides herself, got rev. citations, the witness named her moth CT, Mrs. Bridges, Mildred Bridges and See. Mrs. Reese. her mother, she tes- tified, spent several nights at the See apartments.
 ''Did you write this statement: She came to the house of the Lord, but was not able to remain'?'

LABOR LEADERS
 AGAIN SUMMONED
They Must Answer to Judge Wright on Contempt
 Charge

Washington, June 26-President 1 Samuel Gompers. Vice President John Mitchell and Secretary Frank Morrison of the American Federation of Labor, under rules issued today by Justice Wright of the District of Columbia supreme court, were cited to appear Monday, July 17, and show cause why they should not be punished for con- tempt of court.
 The courts action followed the filing of a report of the committee of lawyers appointed to investigate the charge that an injunction granted by the court in favor of the Bucks Stove and Range company had been violated. In case the labor leaders are adjudged guilty 1t is yet an open question whether the court will impose jail sentence.
 The committee report submits that There is reasonable cause to charge each of these parties with wilful de- fiance of the orders of the court" How ever. it is suggested the labor leaders acted under belief they were within their constitutional rights and the com mittee virtually recommends that due apologies and assurances of future sub mission if they be forthcoming, may settle the matter.
 Mir. Gompers is dealt with as the chief offender. 22 of the 27 typewriter pages of the report being devoted to him. It is probable that the cases will not be heard before fall in the event an7 other trial becomes necessary. 1 Mr Gompers is president, Mir. Morri- son, secretary, and Mir. Mitchell vice president of the Amrican Federation of Labor. The contempt proceedings against the labor leaders recently were passed upon by the United States supreme court, which set aside jail sentences heretofore imposed by Justice Wright The su- preme court held that the contempt on which Justice Wright formerly passed was of a civil nature and against the Buck Stove and Range Go.
 In dismissing the former proceeding, however, the supreme court gave to the district court right to reopen the case in the event that any contempt of the court of Itself or orders should be found. Inasmuch as the stove company and the American Federation of Labor had ad- justed their differences 1t was not sup posed the matter would be pursued fur ther. But the day following the deci- sion Justice Wright immediately ordered an investigation with a view of looking to further contempt action against the labor men.
 He appointed a committee of three lawyers to inquire into all the circum- stances of the case and to determine whether or not there had been a con tempt of court itself. This committee consisted of J. J. Darlington, Daniel Davenport and James M. Beck. Samuel Gompers. in a statement at once ques- toned the fairness of an inquiry by these gentlemen, inasmuch as they all had been associated as counsel for the stove company against the federation.
