FACES CONTEMPT CHARGE
Supreme Court Stops Argument
in Labor Case.

Washington. d. G. Especial 80
Reaching the conclusion that the
Bucks Stove and Range Company, OF
st. Louis, Mo-, and the American
Federation Of Labor had settled their
disputes out of court, the Supreme
Court of the United States Friday
stopped the oral argument of the So
called boycott case of the former
against the latter on the theory that
no issue in it remained for the court
to pass upon.
Following that action the court
listened to oral argument on the
contempt case embracing the
charges Of the Bucks Stove and
Range Company that Samuel Com
pers. president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor; John Mitchell, its
vice-president, and Frank Morrison,
it's secretary. had violated the injunc-
ton of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia in the boycott
case. Each W 5 held to be guilty
and sentenced to jail. Friday they
sat side by side within the bar OF
the court listening to the arguments
as to whether or not they should
serve their sentences.
Chief Justice White asked Judge
Alton b. Parker. one of the counsel
for the American Federation of La
Dor. what he had to say. Mr.. Parker
responded that there was no doubt
but that it was moot Thereupon the
Chief Justice announced that the
court would not continue to hear the
arguments, when the only question
possible was to determine who should
pay the costs.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Prompt Passage OF the Treaty Il
Urged Upon Congress.

u
Washington, d. G. Especially -
Urging the prompt passage Of a reci-
procity treaty between the United
States and Canada, President Taft
sent to Congress special message.
accompanied by the agreement look
ing to such treaty. reached by repre-
sentatives Of the Canadian govern
ment and of the State Department at
recent conference in this city.
Identity of interest of two peoples
linked together by race, language,
political institutions and geographical
proximity the President gives as the
chief reasons for such reciprocity as
he recommends. The President saws
that he feels it is the wish Of the
American people that this country
enter into more intimate and cor
dial relationship with Canada
Liberality of view in dealing with
the proposed treaty is recommended
by President Taft.
1--WE have reached stage in our
own development that calls for a
statesmenlike and broad view Of our
future economic status and its re-
quirements, he said. While equiv
alency should be sought in an ar
rangement of this character, an exact
balance of financial gain is neither
imperative nor attainable."

FORGETTING THE PAST.

Because man has failed In achiev
ing success, or because he has gone
even further and wilfully wrecked the
life that once promised so much. It
does not follow that he can never get
up again. Yet there are men every
where who believe that certain in
cidents Ia their lives have placed
them beyond redemption and that it
Is useless to try and begin over again
Sometimes they become impatient for
the success that seems SO fer away
and frequently give up just before II
comes within their grasp Repeated
failures seem only to convince them
that they can never hope to accom-
plish anything because of their former
mistakes. and yet the miracle may be
performed when least expected. It is
wise TO forget the past, whatever It
may have been, and to train ourselves
to live only in the present, says the
Charleston News and Co.rier. Some,
times the past projects its shadows
across our path and for a time we feel
helpless and think it but natural that
we should move in its gloom. It is
possible, however. to leave the shad-
ow behind and step out into the sun
shine Of the rev and untried life
which spreads all about us. No man
can hope to make any headway in his
business career who goes about with
the remembrance of an unworthy past
hanging like milestone about his
neck It's weight will bear him down
II he undertakes to begin the new life
with the memory Of the old still cling
ing to him.

Mexicali il Surprised and Many

JaILfR WAS THE ONLY MAN KILLED

Mexicali. Mex Special Next
cali, the first border town In Mexico
to be captured by rebels, was taken,
with little resistance early Sunday.
The only man killed was the jailer
when he refused to surrender his
prisoners. The customs house was
seized. Reinforcements are said to
be fiocking to the rebel standard
from the surrounding country.
The capture Of the town is the first
sign Of activity Of the rebels on the
west coast of Mexico. The move was
q complete surprise. Mexicali is a
small town, Inhabited chiefly by ma
tives Of Mexico. It is just across the
border from the American city of
Calexico, Cal. 1t is situated on the
imperial Valley branch line of the
Southern Railway, AL miles south of
Imperial Junction.

invading army. Lerva appeared to
be chief in command His aid was
Simon Barthold, socialist agitator
from California, known in Los An
geles and various coast cities. Bart
hold and party of eight men ar
rived from Holtville, CAL, Saturday
night and successfully smuggled la
considerable amount OF firearms
across the border. They were joined
during the night by the insurgents
from Mexicali and vicinity. and at
daylight marched to the jail, where
seven prisoners were confined.
These prisoners were insurgents,
who had been arrested on order Of
the Mexican government. "A demand
was made on the jailer for the re-
lease of the prisoners. When he hest
tated, rife in the hands of one of
the rebels was thrust through the
window and q shot rang out. The
jailer fell dead. The keys to the cells
were then taken and the prisoners
were liberated,
Barthold and two of his men went
to the barracks at the international
line and captured the few men after
q struggle. Leyva then marched on
the custom house and the subprefec-
ture, which were taken without re-
sistance. Gustavo Terrazas gave over
the keys. He was taken into custody
and kept under close guard.
During the forenoon the insurgents
received accessions to their ranks
from among the citizens Of Mexicaii
and the native employees of the neigh
boring ranches.
