Washington, May Is DAILY Pio-
neer Special Wire Service. - Setting
aside the sentences of imprisonment

preme Court of the United States to-

High is Unanimous.

LIZ IL Is OudUlulOuS.
The court unanimously held that
the only sentences that could be i'm
posed on the labor leaders were fines.
Judge Alton B. Parker, democratic
candidate for president of the United
States in 1904, has had charge of the
case for the labor leaders.
The trouble grew out of an at
tempt, on the part of the American
Federation of Labor, to decrease the
sales of the Buck Stove and Range
company of St. Lauis, which concern
refused to employ union labor and
was therefor placed on the union
"black list as a firm whose products
should not be purchased by union
men.
Federationist Ignores Injunction.
The Federationist, official organ for
the American Federation of Labor,
had been in the habit of running a
list of firms which should not be
patronized.
The Buck Company secured an in
junction restraining the above people
from black listing them but despite
this The Federationist continued it's
black list and the lower court at
Washington held that the three
federation officers were guilty of con-
tempt and prison sentences of one
year for Gompers, six months for
John Mitchell and three months for
Morrison, were imposed in 1909.
Since that time the cases have been
pending in the supreme court.

Calls Attention to Facts Bearing on
Special Election Set for We'd
nesday, May 81.
CITY's FINANCES IN GOOD SHAPE
Show That Proposed $4,000 Issue
All That is Needed to Complete
Work as Outlined.

With a sinking fund of more than
$4,000 and with receipts of more
than $4,000 during the first quarter
ending April 80, Bemidji finances,
which show a total credit of $780,
SIT, are in splendid shape to take on
the added task of paving several of
the down town business streets.
A special election has been ordered
by the city council for Wednesday
May 81, to vote on the question OF
authorizing the sale of $4,000
worth of bonds to insure ready cash
for the laying of the pavement.
Public May Have Wrong Idea.
There is one feature of the bond
issue that might be confusing to the
public and unless thoroughly under
stood, tend TO defeat the proposed
bond issue.
Voters will remember that last
year they acted favorably on the
question of authorizing the sale of
$4,000 worth of bonds to defray the
cost of paving Third street.
Bonds Never Were Sold.
These bonds never were sold, be-
cause it was discovered that the cleo
ton was illegal.
Despite the failure of the city to
issue bonds, the work of paving two
blocks of Third street was completed
at a cost of $5,192. In addition to
this the expense of sewerage was paid
for separately.
P. j. Russell, city attorney, speaks
of the bonding proposition as fol-
lows!
City Attorney Explains.
'The cost of paving except
street and avenue squares, will be
paid by the AUDITING property own
ers, and the cost of paving street
and avenue squares and alley cross
ings, out of the general fund, which
as may be seen is in very good shape.
"If the property owners AUDITING
on the streets and avenues to be
paved were all able to pay their
share in cash, no loan would be ne
cessary, but as they have the right
to allow the cost to be assessed as
tax, payable in five equal annual in
stallments, and as the great majority
are so disposed, loan to pay the
cost when the work is done is neces-
sary. They pay interest at per cent
on these deferred payments, while
the loan draws but per cent and at
the end of five years there is ample
money on hand to pay the loan"
The total cost of the proposed paw
ing is estimated at $29,533 by City
Engineer Everett, which will pave
II blocks.

Aiding Hartman
Rev. Alexander Irvine Man aging Los Angeles Cam
 paign for the Socialists

New Haven, Dec. 5Considerable added interest will be felt by New Haveners today in the municipal cleo tion in Los Angeles where the big battle is expected, to be between Job Hartman, Socialist candidate, for mayor, and George Alexander, the good government candidate, from the fact that the campaign of Attorney Hartman, who was of the counsel for the McNamara defense, is being man. aged by the Rev. Alexander Irvine, the noted Socialist formerly of this city,, Rev. MT. Irvine will be remem- bered here by large multitude fo persons who knew him personally when he was pastor of the Pilgrim Congregational church in East Grand avenue, which pastorate he gave up when he adopted the doctrine of So- cialism. Upon leaving New Haven he went to New York, where he took up active Socialist and uplift work

Says McPadden Is Nol Real Owner of
 Liquor License

One of. the most peculiar remon-
 strances received in recent years has been filed against Michael McPadden of 1156 Pembroke street by Matthias Mihaly who claims McPadden is not the bona fide owner of the license al though it stands in McPadden's name. Mihaly declares he is the real owner of the business as we'll as the license and has been for the past two years.
 The law requires that an applicant must swear he is the bona fide own CT of the license and if Mihaly 8 charge is proven, McPadden may lose the license. On the other hand even if Mihaly furnished the money for the license ii would be difficult to de- prive McPadden of the license which he was allowed to take out in his own name. Mihaly acted as bartender in the saloon until recently. @

TO DEMAND
 PROTECTION
Aldermanic Committee Fla vors Taking Railroad Crossing Fight to Utilities Board.

New Haven, Dec. 5-That the grade crossings on the Northampton divi- sion of the New Haven road should be protected by flagmen at all hours Of the day and night and that they should be provided with gates. is the opinion of the committee on railroads and bridges as shown in the report submitted last night to the board of aldermen, accompanied by q proposed order to direct the corporation coun- sel to appear before the new public utilities commission and ask to have the railroad ordered to protect the crossings accordingly. This report comes as a signal victory for ex-Al- derman Harry Donovan and other Ninth warders who have been fight ing for long time for some action Of this kind
 The report of the railroads and bridges committee also favors Mir. Donovan's request that the corpora tlon counsel be requested to investi- gate and discover if possible if there is any old agreement with the defunct Canal road, by the terms of which the New Haven road can be forced to the grade of the street
 If the aldermen accept the report of the committee. and it seems assured that they will at their next meeting on December Is, it will mean the shifting of the fight to the public util- ities commission. Five or six years ago the same question was argued out before the old railroad commits sion, but it was decided in favor of the road, although a short time later some concessions were secured in that the commission ordered flagmen and gates at certain crossings. At the present time most of the crossings, i.. 6D., r. men at them and absolutely no pro- tection during the night. Some of them have fIagmen up to 12 o'clock and others only up to z at night.

Pharmacy Board Man Explains
 Certain Cases

New Haven, Dec. 5--That the sta te pharmacy commission is acting for the best interests of the druggists of spectors to detect violations of the li- quor law, that the county commis- sioners of New Haven county are holding up applications of certain druggists in this city for the right to sell liquors, that certificates of fit ness have not been refused to any To- cal druggists. though some of the cer- tificates have been. withheld, were some of the statements made by John P Wood, the we'll known druggist of this city, who is a member of the state pharmacy board.
 What has been done by the com mission," said MT. Wood, has been done for the best interests of the druggists of the state in general. No certificates of fitness have been re- fused by the commission as yet. Some certificates have been held up in this city, Bridgeport and Meriden, but why the druggists should want to make that fact public is more than I can understand"
 Speaking of the cases, that had been brought against local druggists for il- legal sale of liquor MT. Wood said: we did not ask the liquor prosecutor to take these cases. We simply sup piled him with the evidence gathered by our inspectors and that was the end of our part in the affair. The law gives the state commission the right to employ inspectors and we have employed them.
 T will say that no certificate of it. ness under which a druggist must do business will be refused by the co1n- mission unless the facts presented ito the commission in his case present grounds, which in the opinion of the commission cannot be contradicted. It has been the policy of the com- mission to give out no information concerning any of the business done along this line.
 '.The commission not long ago had long private conferences with certain druggists of this state at Hartford, and not a word of that conference ever appeared in the newspapers.
 'The action of the commissioners is entirely legal and as I have said for the best interests of the drug trade, and further than that I will make no comment

No Comments On Rev.
 MT. Browns Sermon

The police and prosecuting authori- ties refused to comment today on the sermon preached Sunday evening at the First Methodist church by Rev. G. M. Brown, in which he declared that the State law forbidding the lettering of women in saloons is being violated in this city.
 Rev MT Browns sermon is one of a series, several of which have been devoted to attacks upon the city S standing as moral community, and in which the claim has been made that the laws are not being enforced.

MUST HE APPOINT A DEPUTY? Question Which Supt. Egan Has Pro- pounded to Attorney General
 Light

Hartford, Dec. Superintendent Thomas F. Egan of the State DO ice thinks that the law passed at the last session of the General Assembly in re- gard to weights and measures makes it obligatory on him to appoint a deputy. The statute says a deputy .'shall'' be appointed. But on the other hand there is no provision made for the salary of the deputy. The statute expressly states that the ex- penses of carrying out the law shall be as the General Assembly shall ap- propriate for and there was no appro- priation made.
 There are now two questions before the attorney general on the matter. The opinion which he will render at the request of the board of control will decide whether that board can appropriate money to meet the ex penses of the enforcement of the law. The other opinion will inform Super intendent Egan if he must appoint a deputy.

The Question is at Last Put Up to

Hartford, Dec 5-At last the attor- nev-general has been asked for his opinion as to the legal definition of the word gambling as it applies to ag- riculturaI fairs. Yesterday he receiv- ed a letter from Leonard H. Healy, the secretary of the State Board of Agri- culture. asking him what is meant by gambling as the word is used in the statute.
 It will be remembered that some weeks ago on the suggestion of Gov ernor Baldwin the board decided to ask the attorney-general for an op1n- ion as to the meaning of the word. The delay in carrying out the decision of the board has caused some sur DriSe

Winsted, Dec. 5-That Winsted peo- pie do not care for gold is shown by the fact that a ten dollar gold piece inserted two years ago in the crack of a powder lying within six feet of the Wakefield boulevard, which en- circles Highland Lake, has not been disturbed.
 It is estimated that no less than one hundred thousand persons have walked or ridden by the coin in the last two years. In the summer many of these were visitors from New York.
