LABOR LEADERS Are CLEARED
Court Says Gompers, Mitchell And
Morrison Were Enormously Sen-
fenced to Jail on Charge of Contempt
Of Local Court.
(By Associated PreSS.)


States Supreme Court today approved
the recent sentences for contempt i'm
posed by the New York federal courts
on christopher C. Wilson, a prominent
member of the United Wireless Tele-
graph company, because of his re-
fusal to permit the examination of the
company's books.
By this decision the federal govern
ment won a far-reaching legal contro-
versy, in that the officials of corpora
ton books must present such for ex-
animation by grand juries, lest they
themselves be incriminated thereby.
Sentences Set Aside.
Setting aside the sentences of i'm
prisOnment imposed by the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia for
the alleged violation of the boycott
injunction, the Supreme Court of the
United States today held that Samuel
Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank
Morrison, president, vice-president and
secretary, respectively, of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, had been er
roneously sentenced to Jail on the
charge of contempt of a local court
Justice Lamar delivered the courts
decision. %
The Court was led to hold that tht
contempt proceedings in this case
must be civil in nature because Grim
inal punishment is exercised by courts
to force persons to do acts command
ed, whereas in this case the labor
leaders were sentenced to Jail because
Of something they had done"
The Court unanimously held that
only sentences that could be imposed
upon the labor leaders we're fines. The
opinion states that the Court of Ap
peals of the District of Columbia ant
the Supreme Court of the District O.
Columbia erred in treating the con
tempt proceedings as a criminal cas'
insted of a civil one.
The case was remanded to the loca
courts with direction that it be dis
missed, At the same time the cour
expressly made it possible for civi
proceedings to be instituted agains
the labor leaders by the Buck Stov,
and Range Company, at whose in
stance the original contempt case wa
brought.

HANDLE THEIR OWN PRODUCT
Boston Gardeners Plan Organization
Of Cooperative Growers Sell.
Ing Association.

II present plans do not miscarry.
Boston will soon see a cooperative
vegetable growers selling association.
A few days ago, representative Of
the New England Homestead was
talking with one of the big gardeners
catering to the Boston market and
learned Of this movement. He said
that the vegetable grower is at the
mercy Of dealers and commission men.
He further declared that the system
Of selling vegetables which prevails in
Boston today is a disgrace to reputa-
BILE farmers.
Boston gardeners take the back
seat for none. as regards getting high
yields per acre and producing extra
fine quality Of produce. but they are
woefully weak when It comes to plac.
ing that product on the market. They
literally dump their vegetables into
Boston and take whatever the dealer
sees fit to give. They have no alter
native. as they are not organized to
the point OF being able to divert their
products to other markets. or to In
duce rapid consumption"
AS matter Of fact. dealers keep
prices up to consumers. and. at the
same time pay the grower starvation
prices. II growers had a good mar.
keting association. and an oversupply
were imminent, they could reduce the
price to consumers. with result Of
cleaning out the market. There are
-four growers near Boston who do a
business Of over 100000 year. and
the plan is for these men to open
market. handle their own product.
and perhaps take consignments from
other growers. Such names as Raw.
son. Hittinger, Hall and Rane are as
sociated with the project. The won
der Is that these bright business men
have not attended to this matter be-
fore.

GETS FORTUNE FROM GAIT Is

Henry Rockwell Baker, a twenty.
year-old youth Of st. Charles. ILL.,, will
get $260.OO0 when he is graduated
from college. Baker is the late John
w. Gates's only nephew. Mr.. Gates
was very fond Of him; the millionaire
bequeathed $4,000 to be given to him
at once for his expenses at college
and $250.000 when he gets his degree.
But he will not play football. AL.
though his uncle placed no restric-
tions upon him. the lad remembers
that Gates was opposed to football.
and. for that reason. will not attempt
to make team.
He has promised when he leaves
college and comes into his $3.50, 900,
that he will stay away from Wall
street. This Is also out OF Difference

Gates once advised him, II he ever

for trusts by Edgar H. Farrar. prest.
dent Of the American Bar association.
''The great American national dis
grace" said Mr.. Farrar at the recent
convention OF the bar association at
Boston. ''is found In the issuance Of
fictitious or watered stock. This rs
made possible by those corporation
laws which provide no governmental
supervision over the organization OF
corporations which require no part OF
the capital stock to be paid In money
and which permit the issuance OF
stock at the pleasure OF the organizers
and directors at such valuations as
they may choose to place on them. TO
my mind. the most vicious OF all the
provisions in the statutes above emu.
merated Is that authorizing one cor.
poration to own and vote stock In an
other. This provision is the mother
Of the holding company and the trust.

RUN A FARMERS ELEVATOR
Manager Must Be Well versed In
Methods Used In Shipping and
Conslgning Grain.

(By H. F. PATTERSON. Montana Ex-
pertinent Station.)
There are a number Of points that
must be kept In mind by those select.
ing man to run their elevator. In
the first place, he must be a good
Judge Of commercial grains. He must
be able to glance at load Of grain
and tell very quickly what grade will
be placed upon It when It Is received
upon the terminal market. He should
have clear understanding OF the
meaning Of the different quotations.
since nearly all Of our large terminal
grain markets have sort Of code by
which their grain Is handled.
An elevator manager must be we'll
versed in the methods used In ship
ping and consigning the grain. He
must understand the loading Of the
cars. as well as know how to keep an
accurate set Of books. He must be
the progressive man Of the locality.
His opinion upon the market should
be respected by the shipper and the
farmer. He must be thoroughly famil.
lar with the value Of introducing new
seeds as well as the Importance OF
seed selection.
Farmers organizing cooperative
grain association cannot do better
than to put some time and attention
into the selection Of the man that Is
to run their business. Unless a 70.
sponsible person is hired. the organ.
ization Is bound, sooner or later, to
have a great deal Of trouble. The
writer has known Of number Of
farmers organizations that have
failed simply because they did not So
cure the right man to handle their
business.

MARRIAGE PUZZLE FOR
JERSEY COURT TO SOLVE,
He Has Two Wives, She Has
One Husband, PERHAPS Two.

A divorce tangle of peculiar intricacy
IS presented in the endeavor of Mrs.
Becky Gordon, of 81 Rutgers street, to
secure a decree on the ground of de-
sertion. Mrs. Gordon was first married
and divorced in Russia, which marriage
she claimed she had forgotten at the
time of her marriage to Gordon.
After leaving his wife, Gordon him
self married in Chelsea, Mass. Whether
Mrs. Gordon was legally divorced in
Europe or not; whether that divorce.
even If legal there. is valid here; wheth-
er, for tina reason, her marriage to
Gordon is valid; whether Gordon, In
marrying in Chelsea, Mass, without
having obtained a divorce, is guilty Of
bigamy, and whether New Jersey
courts have competent jurisdiction to
try Gordon for desertion--these are
questions which are causing the lawyers
Of the Gordons many sleepless nights
and much p~erplexity.
Gordon was arrested in Chelsea and is
now in the county jail.

ment, in the form of a mixed minstrel

heated periods, it Is said, between them
and their gentlemen friends, and it has
been runlored that several of the latter
VOW they will leave the show if the

THIRD WARD BATHH0USE
SITE is STILL in DOUBT.
City Officials Will Make Inspec-
tiOn of Properties.

The residents Of the Third ward are
today still in doubt as to the location
of the bathhouse to be built In that sec
ton OF the city. No decision as to Local
ton was reached at the meeting last
night called for the purpose and at
tended by the members of the finance
committee of the Common Council,
the Board Of Works and the Bathhouse
Association. It was agreed to look
over all the sites available in that
neighborhood. The inspection will be
made next Saturday afternoon.
President Mungle, of the Board Of
Works. at the beginning of the meet
ing, said that his board had asked for
an appropriation OF $125. 600 for the pur-
pose of building a bathhouse, but that
nothing had been done by the finance
committee to see that the money was
voted by the Common Council.
Alderman Archibald declared that his
committee had a right to know what
vas to be done with the money when
the board received Il. He spoke of the
two sites available by the board. one
for $4,000 and the other for $11, 900, and
said that II the board, was to purchase
the more costly site when the cheaper
one would serve the purpose. he would
not vote for the appropriation. Presi-
dent Mungie, in reply. said that the
Common Council had nothing to do
with the building of a bathhouse and
tho selection Of a site as that part Of
the work was in the hands of the Board
of Works. =
Miss Emily Hamblen, Mrs. Morris G.
Alexander and Philip Apter, Of the
Bathhouse Association, argued that the
site at the corner OF Charlton and
Montgomery streets. though more ex-
pensive than the one on Prince street,
was the most desirable.
