FEDERAL CASE INVOLVES
FINE POINT IN LAW
Government Sues Acme Pattern
Works on Charge Of Employing
Alien Labor

The United States I'm suing the
Acme Pattern Works, OF Detroit, In
the local United States circuit court
to collect penalty Of $1,000 imposed
on the concern for engaging Can
adam workman for the local plant in
violation OF the contract labor laws,
1t is alleged. The case hinges on a
point OF law. While it takes the form
of a civil proveeding, Attorneys
George F. and Peter Monaghan,
representing the defendant COM
pany, claim that the rules Of
criminal procedure should be follow
ed In that the penalty imposed
amounts practically to a fine. If their
point Is sustained that will be the end
of the suit, for under the rules OF
criminal procedure the government
would be unable to put in any of the
various depositions on which II relies
solely for a conviction The criminal
law requires that defendants must be
confronted by living witnesses. Judge

Sellers Charges Fraud
and Asks for Recount

Alleging that frauds and errors
were committed In SO of the 155 vot-
ing precincts in the city on election
day, Albert F. Sellers, former police
justice, who, on the face OF the re-
turns, was defeated in the race for
police justice by the present Demo
cratic incumbent, Edward Jeffries, by
about $500 votes, filed petition for
recount with the city election COM
mission, Tuesday noon. The commits
sion has ordered the recount to start
Wednesday morning, at o'clock, on
the fourth floor OF the city hall. II
will be in charge of City Clerk Mich
will probably take several days.
Sellers names the SO precincts in
question, but cites no specific exam
pies OF alleged fraud. He charges
that In many OF these precincts the
Republican challengers were intimi-
dated and threatened and, in some
instances, thrown from the booths.
Thus, he says, they were prevented
from properly looking after his in
terests in these precincts
Both candidates will be present at
the recount with counsel and the
proceedings will be watched with great
interest by the politicians. The JEFF
friesSellers contest was the one feat

Wooden Steamer Iroquois Goes Down
With IA Passengers and Six
Members Of Crew.

VICTORIA, b. c., April 11.-Al-
though it is impossible to get an ac-
curate list of the dead today, II Is
believed 20 persons perished when
the wooden steamer Iroquois capsiz
ed off Sydney yesterday. The dead
are supposed to include IA passengers
and six members of the crew although
only ten bodies have been recovered.
The exact cause of the disaster
has not yet been determined. When
the steamer went down ii turned
over, but after partly settling in the
water, righted itself and the upper
works appeared above the surface.
To this part Of the wreck Captain
A. A. Sears, six members OF his crew
and four passengers clung until the
upper works were swept away when
the survivors we're picked up by the
life boats.
Most OF the passengers were caught
in their cabins when the boat wen.

The disaster in many respects par
allels the sinking of the steamer

City, convicted May 16. 1910, and

causing the death OF his father-in-law,
Col. Thomas II. Swope, millionaire,
was granted a new trial by the state
supreme court today. The Kansas
City trial court was reversed and the
case remanded.
The courts opinion contains about
10000 words. The case is reversed
on many grounds of error, among
them being the admission of testi-
mony regarding the death of other
members Of the Swope family and
the illness of still others of typhoid
fever. Further error resulted from

only opportunity the Cleveland pub
lie will have to pay tribute will be as
the body passes from the Johnson
apartments to the depot.
AS yet arrangements for pubic
tribute TO the late mayor have not
been fully completed. The legislature,
however. early today, appointed a
committee from each branch which
with Governor Harmon and Lieuten-
ant-Governor Nichols, will be pres
ent at whatever services they may Ue
permitted to attend. This is the first
time such an honor has ever been dc
corded by the Ohio legislature to a
private citizen.
Johnsons death occurred at 8:47
last night, from cirrhosis OF the liver
His death was declared inevitable
dearly two months ago, but Johnson
put up the same grim struggle against
death that characterized his eight
year fight, while mayor OF Cleveland
against every form OF special privi'
lege, with the result that death was
put of from week to week, and in the
end from hour to hour. after the physi
clans had declared he could live nc
longer.
SO great was the prominence that
Johnson won In his eight years fight
for the Scent fare that messages pay
ing tribute were today received by
the family from every man practical
ly, prominently connected with pub
Tic affairs in the entire country.
1t is estimated today that Johnson s
estate will not amount TO more than
'S1OO, 900. At the time he first became
mayor OF Cleveland, he was many
times a millionaire. In order to de-
vote his entire time, however, to. the
ends for which he was fighting, he

affairs TO others with the result that

COP. INSURGENTS
GET GOOD POSTS
Leader Mann's List of Appointments
Reveals Plan to Cement Minor
ity in Harmony.

WASHINGTON. April 1l.-For the
first time in it's history, the house or
representatives elected It's commit
tees. They were approved by viva
voce vote after a lengthy debate aud
will stand as submitted by the caucus
for the delegates and by Leader Mann
OF the Republicans.
Heretofore il has always been the
prerogative OF the speaker TO name
the committees. Representative I'm
derwood Dem, Ala, chairman OF
the ways and means, endeavored TO
show by figures, algebra and proper
ton, that the minority in the present
house was as we'll represented as the
minority at last session. Former
Speaker Cannon defended the old
way of appointing committees. Il
made mistakes, yes" Cannon said,
but no speaker no majority, no eau
cuses are infallible."
A great harmony scheme TO cement
the minority OF the house loomed up
today when Minority Leader Mann
announced the Republican oppoint-
ments TO committee places. The house
insurgents, who in the last congress
were denied places on all OF the prin-
cipal committees were today handed
their share OF the best OF the slim
Republican patronage.
Democrats and Republicans alike
were astounded when Mann an
nounced two of the four Republican
members OF the all-powerful rules
committee to be Representatives Mad
ison, Of Kansas, who wrote the minor
ity report in the Ballinger-Pinchot
case, and Lenroot, of Wisconsin, the
radical follower OF Senator LaFollette.
The regulars on rules were John Dali
zell, of Pennsylvania, and Wilson, OF
Illinois,
The only important committee on
which the insurgents failed to secure
representation was ways and means,
which will battle with the tariff. The
Republicans on that committee Will
be: Payne, n. Y: Dalzell, Pa Nc
Call. Mass; Hill, Conn; Needham,
Cal; Fordney, Mich, and Iongworth,
o., all OF whom were on the commit
tee in the last congress.
Haughton, Iowa, progressive, will
be ranking minority member OF the
agriculture, and Cooper, Wisconsin.
and Kendall, Iowa, will get choice
places on foreign affairs. Norris, OF
Nebraska, is on judiciary. 'Vic" Muir
dock, of Kansas, remains on post
Offices, and Voistead, Minnesota, and
Pickett, Iowa, go on public lands
Kent, the new California progressive
was given civil service and Industrial
arts and expositions. Mann himself
took no committee assignments, ap-
pearing In the Official list solely as
chairman of the minority confer
ence." Uncle Joe" Cannon is rank
ing minority member Of appropriations
and gets no other assignment.
Under the agreement with the Dem
ocrats, Mann assigned Victor l.. Ber-
ger, the Socialist, TO minority place
on District OF Columbia.
Caleb Powers, of Kentucky, whose
committee places have caused so
much trouble among the Democrats,
was placed on immigration and nat
uralization and education. No Ken.

these.
