THEY GET NO REST
Labor Leaders, GOmpers, Mitch
ell and Morrison,
Are Cited to Appear in Justice
Wright's Court.
ARE TO SHOW CAUSE
Why They Should Not Be Ad-
judged Guilty of CONTEMPT.
Proceeding Grows Out Of the
Famous Boycott Case.
ARE TO SHOW CAUSE

Washington, June 26.-Justice Daniel
L. Wright, of the District supreme
court, today issued a rule against Sam
uel Gompers, Frank Morrison and John
Mitchell, the labor leaders. recurring
them to show cause on July II why
they should not be judged guilty Of
contempt of court.
Ihls action followed the filing of the
report of the special committee of at
neys appointed by Justice Wright to
inquire into the matter Of contempt
proceedings in the Bucks stove and
range boycott case.
Mr. Gompers is president. Mr.. Nor
rlson 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
Justice Wright. The supreme court
held that the contempt on which
justice Wright formerly passed was Of
civil nature and against the Buck
Stove and Range company
In dismiSsing the former proceed
lngs however the supreme court gave
to the district court a right to reopen
the case in the event that any con-
tempt OF the court itself or it's orders,
should be found.
and the American federation of labor
had adjusted their differences it was
not supposed that the matter would
be pursued further, but the day follow
ing the decision, Justice Wright an
pointed a committee of three LAWYERS
to inquire into all the circumstances
Of the case and to determine whether
or not there had been a contempt OF
court itself.
This committee consisted of J. J..
Darlington, Daniel Davenport, and
James M. Beck.
Mr. Gompers questioned the fair
ness of an inquiry by these men in as
much as they all had been associated
as counsel for the stove company
against the federation.
Gompers Expected It.
New York, June 2s.-"I expected
it." said President Gompers OF the
American federation of labor today.
when he learned of the ruling OF
Justice Wright in the contempt pro-
ceedings against Mr.. Gompers and
other officers of the federation. II
am not surprised" he continued, "by
anything Justice Wright may do.''
President Gompers declined to say
what his next move might be.

eral manager of the harvester con-
Germ it was one of his duties to keep in

he had always avoided discussing Lori
mer personally.

factor opposed to the International

HESS IS GIVEN A CLEAN BILL.
CorOner's Jury Exonerates Him fol
killing Hogan.


I'VE, the jurors. upon our oath. say
that Patrick Hogan came to his death
by wounds inflicted on the back and
top Of his head with the barrel of a
shotgun; the gun being in the hands
of Charles Hess, and we further find
that the said Patrick Hogan had just
killed George Seiber and had attacked
Charles Hess with the lantern and
stock of the gun. We further find
that Charles Hess was justified in de-
Tending himself and his life and we
exonerate him from any blame, believ-
ing he killed the said Patrick Hogan
in self-defense.'
AS DR.. H. H. Keith read this YER
dict of the coroner's jury, there was
an outburst of applause in the crowd
ed court room at noon today; and r.
r. Simon, county attorney, arose from
his chair and publicly expressed ap-
proval of the verdict. 1t was the final
act in the double tragedy of Saturday
night and insured the liberty Of
Charles Hess. who killed the drunken
and crazed Patrick Hogan.
No inquest was held as to the death
of George Seiber. Both of the parties
to this act were dead, but six men
were impaneled to hear the evidence
surrounding the killing of Hogan.
Hess himself did not go to the wit
ness stand. He was represented in
the hearing by J. J. Schenck, who had
been employed by number of the
young mans friends. The general ap-
Droval of the cOroner's verdict was
voiced as the jury-three minutes af-
ter the case closed-returned to the
court room with a complete eXonera-
ton of Hess actions.
Evidence at the hearing today
showed conclusively that Hess had act
ed in self defense. Frank McGehee,
who was with Seiber and Hess at the
time the trouble started, had more or
less difficulty in recalling incidents of
the night and his mind was at times
rather hazy. c.. H Hicks, a merchant
policeman. saw almost every detail
of the double tragedy. He said Hogan
was advancing on Hess when the fatal
blow was struck and that Hess merely
tried to defend himself and was never
the aggressor.
A. S. Stevenson told of finding the
loaded shell near the swing in which
the men were sitting. 1t had been
an unsuccessful attempt to kill Hess.
Drs. Keith and Amis told of the blood
clots on Hogan's brain which caused
the mans death. Amis was certain
they might have been caused from OK
treme emotion and excitement and not
from the blows. But Keith was not
so certain as to this condition.
Earl Pyle, a bell boy at the Throop,
heard a man threaten to kill someone
the night of the urder. He did not
know Hogan and was not sure who
made the statement. Every detail
surrounding the killing was entered
into thoroughly and the jury was
fully convinced that Hess was prompt
ed to act only by the belief that he
himself was about to be killed.

came to Seiber and asked for help.
He was given two rooms in the base
ment of the little house at col Quincy
street In late years Hogan had paid
his rents regularly, but in the time
that Hogan's home has been in the
little hovel. Seiber often befriended
the burly Irishman and they never
quarreled. When Hogan consume ed
too much liquor. Seiber stayed away
from the man, who was known to have
an ungovernable temper
But Saturday night Hogen over
taxed his capacity. Perhaps the torrid
hot weather added to the mans con-
dition. At a Fifth street barber shop.
it is said Hogan sauntere5 into the
room early in the evening and re-
marked that he was going home to
get his gun and kill a man. Hogan
never changed his tone as he made
the remark and he dragged himself
from the barber shop in the same
listless, don't care manner that had
characterized his appearance.
A loaded she'll from Hogan's gun
was found near the swing Sunday
noon. 1t was loaded with the same
size shot with which Seiber was killed
and showed that Hogans idea of a
cunning expedition extended beyond
the life of Seiber. There is little doubt
to kill as many members o. the little
party as he could with the two heav-
lily loaded shells.
In the dingy little rooms in the
basement where Hogan made his
home empty whisky bottles told the
story of Hogan's debauchery and
drunken spree. In a jar, covered with
a board. a policeman found nearly a
gallon of whisky which the murderer
still had in stock at the time of the
shooting.
McGehee and Hess were arrested,
but will probably not be held.
