New York, May 5.-President

the Taft physician, told him just

THE LABOR LEADERS
Do NOT CO To JAIL

Washington, May 15.-Setting aside
the sentences of impronment Imposed
by the supreme court of the District OF
Columbia for alleged disobiencs to a
boycott injunction, the supreme court
of the United States held that Samuel
Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank
Morrison, president, ice-president and
secretary, respectively, of the American
Federation of Labor, had been errone-
ously sentenced to Jail on a charge of
contempt of local court.
This was the first case announced.
Justice Harlan delivered the courts
decision. He began to read the written.
He began to read the written opinion
without declaring the decision at II
o'clock. Not many minutes werespent
in reviewing the facts.
Lower Court Found In Error.
The court unanimously held that the
only sentences that could be imposed
on the labor leaders were fines. In so
holding, the supreme court of the
United States found that the court of
appeals of the District of Columbia
and the supreme court of the district
erred in treating the contempt proceed
ings as criminal case and not civil
one. The effect of holding the proce-
edings a civil one was to make Jail sen
fences impossible. Hence the Jail SEN
tence h ad to be put aside.
Directions for Dismissal.
To correct the error the case was sent
back TO the locafeourts with direction
that it be dismissed. At the same
time the covrt expressly made it pos
sible for civil proceedings to be institut-
ed against the labor men by the Buck
Stove and Range Company, at whose
instance the original contempt case
was brought.
The court was led to hold that the
contempt proceedings in this case must
be civil in nature because criminal
punishment is exercised by courts to |
force persons to do acts commanded |
In the present case, the court took the |
view that the labor men were being |
sent to Jail, not to make them do some
thing the court ordered, but because of
something they had DONE"
Inasmuch as all the differences be-
tween labor men and the Buck Stove
and Range Company have been ad-
Indicated including the "boycott" case
out of which the contempt proceed
ings arose, today's decision is probably
the last heard of this widely known
action.
Samuel Gompers said he was graft
fed that the supreme court had re-
versed the decision of the lower trib-
unal, but added:
~ am disappointed that the court
did not decide the principle in con-
tention in the proceedings. l believe
it to be the consensus~~of opinion that
the sentences impose on Mitchell, Nor
rison and myself were unjustitied,
and cruel, particularly in an
alleged constructive contempt.

Exodas of Wealthy Jewish Pope
lation.

Kiev, Russia, May 15.-The
ability of the authorities to pre-.
serve public order yesterday, the
date reported to have been set fol-
a Jewish massacre, mas had re-
assuring effect upon the Jewish
population. Nevertheless, the
exodus of the more wealthy Jews
continues. The paufc will not
not subside until circumstances
of the ritualistic murder have
been explained,
On February % last the body
of a christian boy named Yush-
chinskl was found mutilated in a
cave close by the city's Jewish
quarter. The circumstances OF
the killing resulted in the charge
that Jews had made the youth a
victim of. ritualistic murder, an
alleged religious ceremony, the
subject of controversy for centu-
ries.
The body had been cut in forty
five places with a knife and an
awl. A post mortem made deter
mined that the victim had been
tortured and all the wounds be-
fore life was extinct.
Seven deep stabs in the region
of the heart finally put an end to
his agony.
Circumstances supported the sup
position that Yushchinsky had been
tortured and murdered somewhere in
the neighboring Jewish quarter and
the body deposited in the cave at
day-break as the rules-of the incrim-
mated Jewish sect Hassides are al
legged to forbid the burial of ritualistic
victims
Conceded With Passover.
Fire character of the details of
the murder are alleged to resemble
typical features of ritual killings,
The coincidence of the Passover
with the discovery of the crime
aroused the accusations of those de-
spising Jews. The boys's mother
was arrested on suspicion but later
was released. His stepfather was
then accused.
The authorities adopted stringent
measures to prevent the local news
papers from publisbington anti
Semitic versions of the crime and
also to stop, SO far as possible, the
circulation of Black Hundred sheets,
the contents of which excited the
passions Of the people.
The educated classes have en-
ployed every effort to dispel the
legend of ritual murder.

Jeh0shaphars One Mistake.
Like others, this king, no doubt,
made many mistakes, blunders, but
his most important mistake was In
afiillating with Ahab, king OF Israel.
There is a lesson here for all Of Gods
people. Be- not unequally yoked to-
gether with unbelievers"-neither by
marriage ties nor by business partner
ships and close friendships What
communion hath ligth with darkness?"
- Cor. G:14-ls.
Ahab made war and invited Je-
hoshaphat 10 60 with him. II was ex-
pected to be an easy conquest, but
the Lords blessing was not with n
as Jehoshaphat later learned, escap.
| ing barely with his life. But his still
earlier mistake was In arranging q
marriage between his sou and the
daughter Of Ahab and Jezebel. No
doubt he considered this q wise meth
cd of ultimately re-uniting the two
kinedoms-hut Il was worldly wis.
dom--foOlishness-contrary TO the
wisdom from above. Ihe Loru s ols-
approval Of Jehoshaphat's fellowship
with Ahab was Indicated. The Prophet
was sent 10 him saying, "Shouldsi
thou help the ungodly and love them
that hate the Lord? Therefore wrath
is upon thee from before the Lord. -
Chron, 1872.
Our Golden Text refers TO the King
dom to which spiritual Israelites are
now invited To see It means to seek
place with the Redeemer in the
glory and power OF his coming King
dom. Those who seek It may appar-
! entity lose in temporal advantages
but by faith they recognize that all
things, even trials. dificulties and
privations, are working together foi
good 10 their spiritual advantage, pre-
pairing them for the Kingdom.
