COMPERS CASE
IS REOPENED
Justice Wright Issues a Rule
Against Labor Leaders.
CONTEMPT ORDER UP JULY II
Action Follows Report Of Committee Of
Attorneys Which Inquired into
the Bucks Stove and
Range Boycott.

washington, June 27.-Justice Dan
lei t. Wright OF the District supreme
court issued a rule against Samuel
Gompers, Frank Morrison and John
Mitchell. labor leaders, requiring them
to show cause July II why they should
not be judged guilty of contempt of
court. ,....,-.
This action followed the filing of the
report OF the special committee of at.
torneys appointed by Justice Wright
TO inquire into the contempt proceed.
ings in the Bucks Stove and Range
boycott case.
Mr.. Gompers is president, Mr.. Nor.
rison secretary and Mr.. Mitchell vice
president of the American Federation
OF Labor. The contempt proceedings
against the labor leaders recently
were passed upon by the United States
supreme court which set aside the Jail
sentences heretofore imposed by JUS.
tice Wright. The supreme court held
that the contempt on which Justice
Wright formerly PASSED was of a civil
nature and against the Bucks Stove
and Range company.
In dismissing the former proceeding,
however, the supreme court gave to
the district court a right to reopen the
case in the event that any contempt
of the court itself or it's orders should
be found.
Inasmuch as the stove company and
the American Federation of Labor had
adjusted their differences it was not
supposed that the matter would be
pursued further. But the day following
the decision Justice Wright immediate
ly ordered an investigation with a view
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 the court itself. This com.
mittee consisted of j. j. Darlington,
Daniel Davenport and James NJ. Beck
Samuel Gompers in statement at
once questioned the fairness of an in.
quiry by these men, inasmuch as they
all had been associated as council for
the stove company against the feder.
alton.

Head of Mormon Church before
HardWick Committee.
AGED NAN A GOOD WITNESS
Declares that His Church 10 Not
"RoIIing In Wealth" and Tells
Why He Likes Henry
o. Havemeyer.

Washington, June cS-Joseph f.
Smith. the venerable president of the
Church of Jesus Christ. of Latter Day
Saints. was the principal witness at
the hearing of the Hardwick sugar In.
vestigating committee. ,.
: His presence attracted larger
crowd than had been seen in the com.
mittee room since the inquiry began.
Many women were present. They
eyed the prophet scuriously as he en-.
tered the committee room and crowd.
ed closely around him as he told the
story Of the relations of the Mormon
church with the sugar trust.
Prophet Joseph Is seventy-three
years Of age. He is tall, spare of fig
ure, has keen blue eyes and, like the
prophets of Old. wears beard that
falls toward the waist line. He
stepped briskly into the committee
room and when called to the stand
responded with a smile.
Six years ago Prophet Smith APP
peared before the senate committee on
privileges aid elections! At that time
he spoke as a witness in behalf Of
Reed Smoot, an apostle of the church,
whose right to occupy seat in the
senate was questioned. On that oc.
casion "the first president" OF the
Mormon church told all about that or
ganization and entered into discus
sion of his domestic affairs, admitting
that he had five wives and a good
many children.
Several of the Mormon brethren ac-
companied the prophet at the present
hearing. They were Apostle Smoot,
Bishops Charles n. Nibley and Thorn
as H. Cutler, Representative Joseph
Howell, the only Mormon in the house.
and r. w. Young, a grandson of Brig
ham Young.
THE first president" proved a good
witness. He expressed surprise when
members of the committee gave the
impression that the Mormon church
Is rolling In wealth, declaring that
this was a mistaken notion. that they
really had been in financial straits on
several occasions and had had to bor-
row. The prophet objected to having
H. n, Havemeycr characterized as IAN
industrial pirate" declaring that on
the contrary he had been .'benefac-
tor" to the Mormons.
Bishop Nibley followed the prophet
on the stand. The bishop proved a
jovial witness, Representative Sulzer
Intercepted him about conditions in
Utah.
"It the farmers there" observed Mr..
Splzer. quit raising sugar beets they
could raise something else, couldn't
they?"
"0h, yes" replied the witness. "They
raise corn in Kansas and sometimes
they raise something else"

FUNK FOLLOWED
BY DETECTIVES
Feature Of Testimony Startles
Lorimer Investigators.
THINKS HINES KNOWS ABOUT IT
General Manager Of international
Harvester Company Corners One
Detective and Gains Admis-
sions from Him.

Washington, June 81. = Clarence s.
Funk, general manager of the Inter-
national Harvester company. startled
the members of the rLorimer inyesti-
eating committee when he charged
that four private detectives OF Chi
cago agency had been shadowing, him
ever since Re testified several months
ago before the Helm committee of the
illinois legislature. ~
In his testimony at that time, he
told how Edward Hines OF the Edward
Hines Lumber company, asked him
for a $4,000 contribution from the
Harvester company@t to aid In paying
the expenses Of Senator Lorimer's
election and he intimated that Hines
could tell about the activities OF the
four detectives. Funk testified that
the sleuths had even followed him to
Washington and were still dogging
him, even TO the doors of the investi-
eating committee rooms. Mr.. Funk
said he got one Of the detectives in
an ''unconfcrtabl BILE" position and
quizzed him about his work
81 do not care to give the name Of
this young man." the witness said,
but I will produce him before the
committee if it desires"
The disclosures regarding the activi-
ties of the four detectives :, were
brought out by Senator Kenyon while
Mr. Funk was being cross-examined.
Fund had casually mentioned that
since giving his testimony before the
Helm committee he had been receiv-
ing anonymous threats by telephone
end letter.
Tie committee took a recess to dis
cuss what action should tie taken to
ascertain all the facts regarding the
activity of the detectives At the end
OF the executive session, Chairman
Dillingham; announced that no de-
cision had been reached ar1 the mat
ter will be considered when Mr.. Funk
resumes the stand.
Prior to the disclosures about the
detectives Mr.. Funk told CT the con-
versation Mr.. Hines had with him at
the Union League club In Chicago
early in June. 1909, shortly after the
election of Senator LoriTer, when
Hines asked for a contribution from
the harvester company to aid in pay
ing the expenses of Lorimer's cleo
ton.

PERMANENT PASTURES.

The question of establishing
permanent pastures on Michi-
gan farms arises most largely in
connection with lands not well
suited to croo production such
as are too rolling and broken or
OF unsuitable texture and CON-
position. A great many per-
manent pasture mixtures have
been recommended, but all
seems to give way eventually to
June grass. In 1908 about 40
acres of rolling land on the col
lege farm was seeded to a per-
manent pasture mixture OF the
following composition, viz: Red
clover ialsike and white clover,
timothy, orchard grass, red top
and meadow and Sleeps fes-
cues, without any June gas
seed Six years later almost all
plants of the mixture had dis
appeared and June grass had
taken complete pos -es ON. Tn
seems to be the general results
from such attempts under sou.h-
ern Michigan conditions. TIE 4
June grass pasture now remain. I

turage, but the hill tops have
been dressed with stable ma.
nure once OF twice since the
seeding was made.
