ness Is Questioned.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Justice

preme Court, today issued a rule
against Samuel Gompers Frank Nor
rison and John Mitchell, the labor lead
ers, requiring them to show cause on

pointed by Justice Wright to inquire
ings in the Bucks stove and range boy
colt case.
Mr.. Gompers is president; Mr.. Nor

that the contempt on which Justice

nature and against the Buck Stove and
Range Company.

however, the Supreme Coz gave to
the District Court right to reopen
the case in the event hat any con-
tempt of the court itself or its orders
should be found.
Inasmuch as the stove company and
the American Federation of Labor had
adjusted their differences 1t was not
supposed that the matter would be pur-
sued further. but the day following the
decisions Justice Wright Immediately
ordered an Investigation with a view
to further contempt action against the
labor men, He appointed a committee
of three lawyers to inquire into all the
circumstances of the case and to de-
termine whether or not there had been
a contempt Of the court itself.
This committee consisted of J. j.
Darlington, Daniel Davenport and
James NJ Beck. Samuel Gompers, in
a statement, at once questioned the
fairnes5 OF an inquiry by these gentle
men, inasmuch as they all had been
associated as counsel for the stove
company against the federation.

It, said President Gompers. of the
American Federation of Labor, today,
when he learned of the ruling of JUS

ings against Mr.. Gompers and other Of

prised." he continued "by ANYTHING
Justice Wright may do"

Story of wronged Woman.
Behind the case is n story 80 /,
"oinan' worn out and de-
spondent over her desperate situation.
When Lena Meyer, sister of Mrs. ziee-
ler who is mother of the twins. found
herself pitied by some and shunned nv,
others she did her best to hear ,,n
under the circumstances. But the bur
den of the babies was too heavy.
AS time went on the situation became
I rYVa1y =
unpearable. She then fed from Sche-
nectady, n Y, with her twins and,
went to her sister in Orange. That was
a month ago. The sisters talked the
situation over day after day and spent
many sleepless nights trying to think of
some solution. The only apparent way
was the abandonment or placing the
tots in some institution The latter plan
was tried first, but resulted in failure.
Took Babies to New York.
Finally Mrs. ziegler took one of the
babies to Brooklyn last Wednesday, ana
left 1t with the police, declaring it had
been abandoned in street car. Satur-
/ day she took the other twin to New
York and gave 1t to the police. this
time at the Alexander avenue station.
Her actions aroused the suspicious of
the police, who. by a ruse, learned that
her story was not true. The infant was
sent TO Bellevue Hospital, where it de-
veloped the other twin brother had
been sent by the police. Mrs. ziegler
was then placed under arrest.
Yesterday the Orange woman became

There are four men in the Board of

pINCHOT MUCH PLEASED
AT COAL LAND DECISION.

NEW YORK, June 26.-Perhaps no
bodv in the country was better pleased
with the final disposition of the Gun
ningham claims than Clifford Pinehot,
whose own fortunes had pivotted upon
them so critically,
"The cancellation of the claims" he
said here today, lis proof, given by the
administration itself, that the fight
made against 1t to prevent coal monop-
oily iii Alaska was not only successful.
but necessary and right. This victory
insures the cancellation of multitudes
of other fraudulent claims in Alaska.
l have not yet seen the text of the de-
cision, but judge it should result In
saving the most valuable coal fields
still in government ownership for the
use of the people.
IF the fight had not been made the
Cunningham claims would have been
patented long ago, and by this time
coal monopoly in Alaska would have
been an assured fact. The vigorous
attempts made during the investigation
by counsel for the Interior Department
to show that the claims were valid,
leaves little doubt that they would
have been patented had the administra-
been allowed to proceed.
"Our fight, however, is not yet fully
won 1t is still possible that a secret
order of last October, by which Presi-
dent Taft opened the harbor front of
Controller bay, the natural outlet for
the coal, to acquisition by special In
terests. may result in coal monopoly
through monopoly of transportation.
Now that the claims are cancelled,
the one imperative need for Alaska is
an honest coal land law, opening the
coal to immediate development under
lease from the government The
passage of such a law was prevented
at the last session of Congress by the
failure of the public lands committee of
House and Senate to report bills
honestly in the public interest I see
no reason why the passage of coal
leasing law should await the next ses-
sion of Congress. 1t ought to be passed
at once"

HOLDS ALLEGED
KEY WORKER IN

Judge Hahn Believes That

most daring "keyman" that ever op-

trolmen Dowd and Scanlon. was ar
raigned before Judge Hahn in the
Fourth Precinct Police station today.
He was held in $4,000 bail on four
made by Charles Carson, of
1882 Littleton avenue, who identified a
gold ring which was stolen from his
house last Tuesday, Louis Horn, Of

fore whom the prisoner was arraigned
Judge Hahn 3iced the opinion that
Miller is a dope fiend and danger
GUS character Miller came to this
country from Russia IN 1897
The police have been pestered with
many telephone calls Of victims of the
"keyman." asking If their goods have
as yet been recovered. UP to now
Miller stolidly refuses to tell what has
become of his booty Detectives are
working night and day In an effort to
locate the fence were the goods were
disposed Of The Newark and New
York pawn shops are being secured,
but as yet no trace of a single article
has been found. The idea has been
furthered by the police that Miller
melted all the gold that he stole and
then sold It in bulk, while the stones
and other valuable articles. such as
clothing. plumes and silverware were
sold AA'unsuspecting buyers. 1t must
be rem mbered that Miller very seldom
took bulky articles.

Cunningham Loses Fight
for Claimy--A Pin
ChOt Victory.
DEPOSED FORESTER
GREATLY PLEASED
Complete Vindicati0n of Policy
for Which He Con-
tended.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The fa-
nous Cunningham Alaskan coal land
claims, through which it has been al
legged that the Morgan -Guggenhein
syndicate had planned to extend their
vast interests in Alaska and to con-
troll one of the most valuable coal fields
in the world, were today entirely dis
allowed by the department of the in
terror.
Secretary of the Interior Walter Il.
Fisher having approved the depart
inent's decision, as handed down by
Fred bennett, commissioner of the
land office, the last door is believed to
have been closed to the Cunningham
claimants. Their attorneys have
threatened an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court but such an ap-
peal can be based only on some point
of law involved, and not on the findings
of fact as announced by the depart
ment.

FORGE T S
HIS Name:
9 YEARS
Professor Mark W. Har-
ringtOn Now Remem-
berS Who lie Is.

Believing for nine years, after being
found wandering in the streets of
Newark with his mind blank, that his
name was John Doe" Mark w. Har-
rington. formerly a professor In the
University of Michigan. and once chief
of the United States weather bureau.
yesterday for the first time, at the
Morris Plains state Asylum. responded
to his correct name.
This was learned today from Superln-
tendent Brltton ID. Evans. of the asy
lum, who riGde the test following an
appeal by Mrs. Harrington to lave her
self appointed a committee of the
estate of her husband. He will make
the test again in a few days. Mr. Har-
rington. who does not recognize his
wife. has nc etofore only answered any
one when they addressed him as John
Doe"
He left his home in Mt Vernon, N.
Y, in 1900, to attend a dinner in Man
haitian and Mrs. Harrington did not
see him again until 1907, when she
found him in the asylum at Morris
Plains Prior to his confinement at
Morris Plains he was confined in an
asylum in Baltimore. Whether he es
capped from that institution or was re-
leased is not known to DR. Evans.
While Justice Mills, of the Supreme
Court. at Mount Vernon. N. Y, has
siqnad an order FOR tho taotIr,op,, Of
Dr. Evans as to the sanity of the pa
tlent, and this will be passed upon by a
jury. DIR. Evans stated today that he
does not believe Mr.. Harrington should
be released. He said that some pa
tients temporarily remember who they
most cases lspses after a brief period.
Justice Mills took great interest in
the story because Professor Harrington
was formerly a reside of Mount Ver-
non. He granted an orGer allowing
jury in the next terra Of the Westehes-
ter Supreme Court to pass upon the
s.nity of the profc sor.
At the asylum Mrs. Harrington
learned that her husba had been sent
to that institution from this city, and
that he was suffering from an unusual
for of mental disease which caused
him to lose his en- identity, and he
was iso unable to recognize any cne.
Where he had spent the two years un-
accounted for no one knew.
He has no specific delusions at the
present time except tha- he believes
that his name is John Doe" That was
the anne that wa given to him by
the authorities in the institution before
his wife discovered him and revealed
his identity He still maintains his
name is John Doe. and when his wife
called few days ago to see him he de-
clared that he did not know her, and
gave instructions to the keepers to keep
her away from him, as she was a
stranger
Since Professor Harrington has beea
in the asylum he has become an ac-
complshed piano player, and devotes
most Of his time to playing on the in
strument for the benefit of tho other
inmates.

Matthias Plum, Jr., One
Of Many Accused

Matthias Plum, jr, Of this city, was
eral grand jury for violation of the
Sherman law, the specific allegation
being that the Eastern Box Board
Club" of which Mr.. Plum is a mem
ber, is a combination In restraint of
trade. The other members of the or
ganization were also indicted.
The Eastern Box Board Club is sue
cessor to the Fibre and Manila Asso
citation, which was declared in Feb
ruary, 1910, to be an unlawful combina

tion now necessary because, it is al
legged, several members of the Fibre
and Manila Association joined in the
new concern, the Eastern Box Board
Company. Mr.. Plum's connection with
the combination is through the Wav-
erly Box Board Company at Waverly
Efforts to reach Matthias Plum, jr.,
today, failed. 1t was said at his home

combination, formed the Eastern Box
Board Club" The Federal prosecutor,
