smooth out the creases in the letter
and then proceeded to read it with as

tain Plum was dumbfounded. He felt
the hot blood rushing to his face and
his first impulse was to the
crumpled paper and demand some
thing more than an explanation. In
the next instant it occurred to him
that this action would probably spoil
whatever possibilities his nights ad-
venture might have for him. So he
held his peace. The old man was so
intent in his perusal of the letter that
the end of his hooked nose almost
Hcraped the table. He went over the
dim, partly obliterated words line by
line, chuckling O and then, and ap-
%parently utterly oblivious of the 9TH

to Captain Plum.

the old man. Their eyes met. And
there was a shrewd, half-understand-

Captain Plum in an ~unflinching chal-

silence. 1t was Captain Plum who
broke it.
Dad. I'm going to tell you for the

He settled back and blew a volume

Sentence For Contemp'R p'ReVersed

District Of Columbia Judges Are Re-
versed and Entire Proceedings Sent
Back to Be Dismissed.

Washington, May 16.-Samuel Com
pers, president; John Mitchell, vice
president, and Frank Morrison, sec
retary, of the American Federation of
Labor, will not go to Jail.
This was the decision of the SUI
preme court of the United States in
the labor contempt cases in which the
three labor leaders were sentenced to
prison.
The case grew out of the boycott of
the Bucks Stove and Range company,
of St. Louis, and the proceedings
brought by that company against the
three labor leaders for speeches and
articles published in the American
Federationist.
Setting aside the sentences of i'm
prisonment imposed by the supreme
court of the District of Columbia, the
supreme court of the United States
held that Gompers, Mitchell and Nor
rison had been enormously sentenced.
BY the finding of the lower court
Gompers had been sentenced to one
year in Jail, Mitchell to nine months
and Morrison to six months.

Not a Criminal Case.

The court unanimously held that the
only sentences that could be imposed
upon the labor leaders were fines. In
so holding the court found that the
court of appeals of the District Of Co
lumbia and the supreme court of the
District of Columbia erred in treating
the contempt proceedings as a criml.
nal case and not a civil one. The eff
feet of holding the proceedings civil
one was to make Jail sentences i'm
possible. Hence the Jail sentences had
to be set aside.
To correct the error the case was
sent back to the local courts with di-
rection that it be dismissed. At the
same time the court expressly made it
possible for civil proceedings to be
instituted against the labor men by
the Bucks Stove and Range company,
at whose instance the original con-
tempt case was brought
Inasmuch as all the differences be-
tween tho labor men ard 1Ae--Dsr-5ss1
Stove and Range company have been
adjudicated, including the boycott
case out of which the contempt pro
ceedings arose, new civil proceedings
are considered highly improbable, and
the decision is probably the last that
will be heard of this famous action.
The court was led to hold that the
contempt proceedings in this case
must be civil in nature, because crimi-
nal punishment is exercised by court
to force persons to do acts command
ed In the present case the court took
the view that the labor men were be-
ing sent to Jail, not to make them do
something the court ordered, but be-
cause of something they had done
