WRIGHT OYERRULES
PLEA or LEADERS
Facts in Contempt Case to
Be Given.

Proceedings 10 determine whether
Samuel Gompers and Frank Morrison,
president and secretary, respectively. of
John Mitchell, formerly a member Of
the executive council of the federation.
are guilty of contempt Of court in con-
nection with the injunction in the Buck s
Stove and Range Company case. were
b0un In Equity Court No. ! yesterday
before Justice Wright, who. In the same
case. found the men were guilty Of con-
tempt and gave them each a jail SEN
tence.
There was no air Of apology about the
three men as they entered the court
room and sat through three hours Of
legal argument. Alton B. Parker and
jackson II. Ralston made successive mo-
tions, all of which. with the exception
Of one, were overruled by Justice Wright.
All the motions were technical. with
the exception of one, which Is that the
proceedings should be suspended. because
the committee Of lawyers named were
prejudiced. In overruling this Justice
Wright strongly intimated that IL the
committee had not reported that there
was probably cause for trying the men
he would not have entertained its re-
port.
Thereupon Mr.. RaIston asked the court
to certify the case to another Judge, on
the ground that Justice Wright had ex-
pressed an opinion as to the guilt Of
the men, and that he was, therefore.
preJudiced. Justice Wright overruled
this suggestion.
A motion was made for bill Of par
ticulars This motion will be argued
Monday next. 1t Is believed an agree
ment will be reached and that testimony
will be taken by an examiner. and that
the case will be finally argued next fan

any particular time. 1t is believed,
however, President Taft may pass upon
the case before the present week is
over.
Secretary Wilson has dismissed Floyd
w. Robinson, an inspector of drugs in the
Bureau of Chemistry, for ''the good of the
service Robinson is said to have been
one of DIR. Wiley's "right-hand' men.
and to have been active with DR.. Wiley
in the benzoate of soda campaign.
The statement is made at the depart
ment that Robinson has been insubor-
dinate in having refused to accept the
finding of the Remsen board that BEN
zoate of soda as a preservative of foods
in certain quantities was not deleterious
to health, and in having persistently dis
paraged the finding Of the board and the
motives back Of the board. The finding
Of the Remsen board reversed DIR. Wiley.
who held that benzoate of soda in any
quantity was deleterious.
The dismissal of Robinson is taken
here as another indication of Secretary
Wilson'S determination to assert his
authority in the department. The chief
complaint against DR.. Wiley's conduct
Of his office. aside from the technical
violation OF the appropriation law, is
that he has run his bureau over the
heads OF his superiors.
DR.. Wiley will know his fate to-day.
President Taft will give his decision
on one of the most far-reaching and
interesting cases involving the tenure
of office of d government official in the
history of the Federal administrations
of this country.
Drug Firms Take Action.
1t was announced from Philadelphia
last night that sixty big drug and medi-
cine organizations of that city have
adopted strong resolutions declaring the
dismissal of DR.. Wiley would be a
national calamity. Copies of the resolu-
tions are being forwarded to President
Taft in the hope he will be influenced
thereby.
