from her berth and under pressure of
over 100000 cubic feet of gas struggled

Just as the airship cleared the shed
q violent gust of wind drove her back
against the entrance. At the impact
several ballonnets burst and the bali
loon lost her equilibrium, The army
men at the guide ropes chung desper-
ately, but were powerless against the
wind and another gust lifted the air

Washington, May 15-Setting
aside the sentences of imprison-
ment imposed by the supreme
court of the District of Columbia,
for alleged disobedience to a boy
colt injunction, the supreme court
of the United States held that
Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell
and Frank Morrison, president,
vice president and secretary re
spectively of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, had been enron
eously sentenced to Jail on
charge of contempt of a local
court.
The court unanimously held
that the only sentences that
could be imposed on the labor
leaders were fines. In so holding
the supreme court of the United
States found that the court of
appeals of the District Of Column
bia and the supreme court of the
district erred in treating the con
tempt proceedings as a criminal
and not a civil one. The effect
of holding the proceedings a civil
one was to make Jail sentences
impossible. Hence the Jail SEN
fences had to be set aside. To
correct the error the case was
sent back to the local courts with
direction that it be dismissed.
May Enforce Big Fine.
At the same time the court expressly
made IT possible for civil proceedings
to be instituted against the labor men
by the Buck Stove & Range company
tempt case was brought The court
was led to hold that the contempt
proceedings in this case must be
civil in nature, because criminal
punishment is exercised by courts to
force persons to do acts commanded.
In the present case the court took the
view that the labor men were being
sent to jail, not to make them do
something the court ordered. but be
cause Of something they had done"
Inasmuch as all the differences be-
| tween the labor men and the Buck
| Stove & Range company have been
! adjudicated, including the boycott"
! case, out Of which the contempt pro
ceedings arose, today's decision is
probably the last to be heard Of this
I famous action.

PRESIDENT SCORES
RECALL OF JUDGES
Nostcum" Is the Term Applied
by Taft in o New York
Speech.

New York. May l6.-President Taft
came out publicly Saturday night
against the recall of the judiciary. In
his speech before the conference on
reform Of the criminal law and pro-
>edurC, the president made his attitude
plain. Most of his speech was de-
voted to a comparison highly unfaS-
9raOle to this country, of the judicial
system of Great Britain and the Uni
ted states. He lamented the tendency
manifested even in England, but more
particularly in this country, to put
limitation on the power OF the Judge.
And now, not satisfied with reduc
ing the position of a Judge to some
thing like a moderator in a religious
assembly or presiding officer of a
political convention" said the presi
dent, the Office is still tc be made
less important pur pore on trial and
assume more and more the character
If defendant by a provision of law.
under which, If his rulings and con-
duct in court do not suit a small per-
Centage of the electors or his district
he may be compelled to submit the
question OF his continuance on the
bench during the term to which he
was elected to an election for recall,
In which the reason for his recall lis
10 be included in 200 words and his
defense thereto to be equally brief.
1T can hardly be said that this
proposed change, If adopted, will give
him greater authority or power for
usefulness or constitute a reform in
the enforcement of the criminal law
Of this country. 1t will certainly not
diminish the, power or responsibility
Of counsel for the defendant. Let us
hope that the strong sense OF humor
Of the American people, which has so
often saved them from the dangers of
demagogy. van not be lacking In re-
speCt Of this nostrum' "

probable effects, but added that he
thought they were willing to trust to
the president in this matter. Asked to
reconcile this with the statements of
the Dakota farmers who are opposing
reciprocity before the Senate finance

men here were professionals who are
farming the farmers" Mr.. Bullock is
