Dissatisfied with the answer OF
Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and
Frank Morrison, Of the American
Federation Of Labor, to the rule to
show cause in the contempt hearing
in the early part of the week, which
invoked the statute OF limitations and
pleaded immunity under the law, the
prosecuting committee Of lawyers filed
a motion with the District Supreme
Court yesterday asking that Gompers
and his associates be compelled to
elect whether they will answer to the
contempt charges under oath or reply
to certain questions OF the committee.
Should they decide to answer the
queries OF the prosecutors, Gompcrs
will be asked about 20 questions, all
OF which may prove embarrassing,
while Mitchell and Morrison will be
asked something like eight questions
each. a hearing was fixed for next

the following questions:

publication date and did it bear the
name OF the Bucks Stove and Range

list?
Did he know Of the injunction bond
making operative The injunction Of De
cember oS, 1907?
WHAT steps did he take to stop the
issue Of the Federatiouist?
Other questions deal with the alleged
circulation oiprinted proceedings of thu
American Federation Of Labor conven
ton at Norfolk, Va, in Dece,nbe
1907. Gompers will be asked IL h,
used the language alleged in the con
tempt charge.
Mitchell will he asked to tell Of hi

TOBACCO NOTES.

If blanket of snow had fallen across
the streets Sunday night, the residents
of the East Side would not have been
half as surprised as they were when they
looked out their windows early Monday
morning and saw the streets lined with
tobacco wagons Although the wealth
er last week was fine for moving the
weed, Cloverport was not expecting
such a big market in one night. By
1880 O'Clock Mr.. Ed. Gabbert had
numbered 1919 wagons.
Robert Railsy, of Hawesville, was
the first man in line and he had AGO
pounds. The wagons were lined up on
both sides of the street from the factory
to the Presbyterian church and by din
ner time the line reached TO Williams
Grocery, at High and Second streets.

THE growers did not have TO knock at
the doors to make their arrival known
for long before midnight their horses
and wagons could be heard coming
down the Baptist church hill and going
over the bridge. Several of the citizens
were awakened.
DIR. Forrest Lightfoot opened up
his stable, home and Office for the mid.
night guests. Among those who ate
breakfast with him were; J.W. Lynch,

FOREST FIRES.

That Il forest fire could in any way

so novel thai some proof is necessary.
The statement has been made that
more timber is destroyed by fire every

The point of these reports. so sur
prising to those unacquainted with the
lumber business Is that the fires. while
they kill the trees. do not consume the
trunk. The less severe fires do not
necessarily kill the trees. Worse fires
do this by burning the underbrush
around the trees and perhaps the tops
OF the trees. But the trunk Of the tree.

timber makes as good lumber as the
other. the only difference being that IL
is necessary to cut 1t within limited
time.
