Appellate Court Confirms Sen.
tence on Contempt Charge.
CASE OF WILLIAM A. PIERCE
Convicted Of Attempting to Corrupt
Juror. Given Term of Three
Months in Jail.

Declaring that careful examination of
the record disclosed no reversible error,
the Court of Appeals of the District of Co
Orsdel, today affirmed the conviction Of
William a. Pierce, a lumber dealer, for
contempt of court. The sentence of three
months in Jail imposed by Justice Wright
on the merchant was held by the ap-
peilatc court to be neither extreme nor
unusual and it declined to modify the
term of imprisonment
Pierce was charged last January with
approa ching Cresson T.. Finch, a mem

was pending the consideration of all al
legged bribery charge against Thomas III.
Pickford. the claim being made that
the action of the juror in that case. On
his conviction before Justice Wright of
the charge the court imposed sentence
Of three months imprisonment.
Says Charge Is Sustained.
Justice Van Orsdel in reviewing the
case says the charge is fully sustained by
the evidence.
Attorney A S. Worthington, who repre-
scented the contemnor. urged the appellate
court that it had Jurisdiction to review
the action OF the court below not only
as to questions of law. but as to matters
of fact. The court holds its jurisdiction
is confined to questions of law and cites
with approval its de- ision in the Gompers
contempt proceeding, where it said such
review must be the same as by writ OF
error, on which only matters Of law are
considered.
The appellate court also held to its
previous decision in the McCaully case
that the courts may punish for contempts
committed away from the presence of the
court.
Pierce's Claim Denied.
The claim of Pierce that the proceed
ings against him should have been drop
ped when he had on oath distinctly and
clearly denied all the material allega-
tons against him was not allowed by the
appellate court. The answer under oath,
he claimed. purged him of the ALLEGED
contempt aQd he could only be proceeded
against, if at all, by Indictment for per-
jury
This rule of the common law says
Justice Van Crsdel, has been completely
abrogated so far as the federal courts
Of this country are concerned by the Su
preme Court in the Shipp case.

Chase's Advise to Ball Players-Tom
Jones Star in A. A.

Last Saturday Mt. Lebanon was
defeated by the Homer baseball
team by. a score of I to 8 in an inter
esting and exciting game. The feat
ure of the game was the pitching Of
d. Collier for Homer. who struck
out nine men and allowed but three
hits. Courtney allowed more hits
but kept them scattered. The batter
les were: Homer, .. Collier and c.
Collier; Mt. Lebanon, Courtney and
Aubry.
The Daily States of the 18th has a
good picture of an old American
League fayorite. Tom Jones, and has
the following to say: Although Tom
Jones has been in the American As
sociation only a few weeks he has
been voted the best first baseman
in the association. Jones has put up
a great article of ball for the Mil
waukee team for a man that was
supposed To be down and out. Jones
has been showing a streak of bat
ting since coming to Milwaukee and
has already won two games for the
Brewers by his timely hitting. He
has also been running bases like d
youngster. He has put lot of GIN
ger into the Milwaukee team.
Hal Chase, the freat first baseman
and player-manager of the New
York American League team, gives
the following good advice to base
ball aspirants:: IF you want to- sue
coed in baseball, learn every detail
of the game. It is a never eeasing
source of new problems, new situa-
.tions, ne Wconditions. The process
of figuring out q play should be-
come second nature to the player.
cultivate the acquaintance Of expe-
rieneed players and listen to them
carefully. Observe the rules of the
game. Never bait the umpire, Be
have like a gentleman. Play hard to
win and never give up. Keep regular
hours. Let booze strictly alone.
Don't smoke to excess, better not at
all. Learn the inside Of the game.
Practice all you can.

THE REGISTRATION ROLL
The Names of the Dead and of In
dividuals Not Qualified to Vote
Being Stricken from the Record.

The main purpose OF purging, as
it is called, the registration books IS
to secure as near as possible a fair
election on June 4 and to avoid con-
tention and strife at the polls.
There is no reason why the names
Of the lead should be kept on the
record as if in the activities of life,
nor should individuals who have re-
moved their domicile and been alb
sent beyond the limits of the law be
permitted to vote at the election.
In this ruling no exception is be-
i ing made, but, singular as it may ap-
pear, a greater number Of Ants are
being disqualified on the proofs ad-
duced by competent witnesses that
they have forfeited their domicile in
Shreveport and therefore are dis
franchised until they become rein
stated as is required by law.
In New Orleans the purging of the
rool has developed that several
thousand names enrolled have been
stricken from the records and that
scores of these We're registered
fraudulently.
Such fraudulent registration is
not possible in Shreveport, but the
record is proof that a purging is do
ing no harm.
In registering any applicant, the
registrar is governed by the answer
of the individual, who is required to
sign a sworn affidavit. The regis
ltrar has no authority to strike any
name from his roll except under the
direction of the court.
Up to the hour Of adjournment at
noon, thirty-fve names were or
dered to be stricken from the regis
tration roll.

The jefferson, Texas, Waterway

There is being held today in the
City Hall a conference Of citizens Of
jefferson, Texas, and of Shreveport,
the purpose of which is to consider
the waterway project to Jefferson,
Texas. A similar conference was
held in Shreveport some time since
when there was manifested an OPP
position to the project, which has
been somewhat removed on the pre-
sentation Of facts which can not be
ignored.
It is also being demonstrated that
the damage appfehended from the
construction of the dam at the foot
of Caddo lake is more imaginary
than it would be actual. and that
the project when completed will re-
suit in mutual benefit to. Jefferson
and Shreveport.
To this proposed water project
the government, on the recommen-
dation of the engineering depart
ment of the United States, has given
its assent to the construction of
this dam, and there fore it will pro-
gress in time to the end.
The purpose is to obtain water
navigation from jefferson to the Red
river over the lake route.
Indirectly, the strongest Qpposi-
ton, if silent, is from the railways.
This policy Of opposition at shreve-
port is not exceptional. It has been
manifested wherever there is offered
lcompetition of waterways.
Laying aside every contention and
assuming that the water route is
opened to Jefferson, what are the
advantages which Shreveport vii
derive from such an outlet for its
commerce?
| Shreveport could reach Jefferson
Iby water, and at Jefferson it coulC
mot be denied or excluded from the
rates of traffic which are applied tt
Texas by the Railway Commission
lof that State, which has been re-
lpeatedly charged with fixing tht
lrates from Shreveport in a partisan
land arbitrary manner.
The attendance at this conference

The Standard Oil Case.

The decision of the United States
Supreme Court in the case of the
standard Oil Company, interpreted
in a few words, is that it is a COM
bination in restraint Of trade, and
being vioIative of the Sherman anti
trust law, the dissolution of this
combination is ordered and must be
effective within six months from the
decree of the court.
This decree will not dissolve the
standard Oil Company, but it is or
.dered that all combinations with in
|diyiduals or other corporations, vio-
lative of the Sherman antitrust
law, must be terminated at the term
fixed by the court.
With the exception of Justice
Harlan, the opinion of the court is
In his dissenting opin-
ion Justice Harlan holds that "the
court has no right to construe the
law as permitting reasonable and
prohibiting unreasonable combina-
tions.' His Interpretation of the
law is that reasonable" or 'unreas-
enable combinations should not ex-
ist. In brief, that every corporation
should stand on its own merits.
