was that the New York banks alone

Against Him.

Washington. January 3O.-The con-
Guiding arguments in the famous con
tempt cases" against President Samucl
Gompcrs. Vice President John Mitchell
and Secretary Frank Morrison Of the
American Federation of Labor, were
made to-day In the Supreme Court OF
the United states. The court took tho
question Of affirming the decision OF

Arguments were made by Judge Al
ton b. Parker and jackson Ii. Kalst N.
FOR the accused. and by J. G. Daring
ton and Daniel Davenport agalns,
them.
Mr.. Davenport laid stress on the
claim Of Judge Parker that the IN

Buck stove and Range Company was
violation OF the freedom of speech

ration Of Labor. Il call the attention

Then the attorney quoted from 4 de.
cision rendered by Judge Parker Wnen
he was at the head or the New York
Court of Appeals, in which ne said
that there was difference between
enjoining a libel and enjolning a puD-
y a
conspiracy. The officials Of the Asleri-
can Federation of Labor and others,
according to Mr.. Davenport. we're en-
gagged in conspiracy in violation or
both the laws OF God and Of man
Judge Parker laid stress upon the
point that no evidence was presented
to the court below to prove that the
American Federationst, the otllcial
organ Of the American Federation OF
Labor. containing the name OF the
Buck stove and Range Company on the
We don't patronize list" had been
distributed in violation of the injunc-
ton.
According to his statement, the last
time the name was printed on that Isl
was just before the injunction became
effective
The court below being in error in
regard to that point, MIR Parker argued
that the entire sentence for contempt
fell because the Supreme Court OF the
United States could not say how mucn
first sentence had been imposed by
reason OF the erroneous finding uron
1t.
Mr. Darlington spoke in opposition
TO the position taken by Mr. Parker

Especial to The Times Dispatch
Washington, January 30.-What is
the merriest war ever waged in this
city-whither all things political como
now in the heat of brisk battle, to the
vast entertainment of Washington :
citizens and statesmen alike.
1t is the fight over the Panama EN-
position of 1915 between New Orleans
and San Francisco, cities each unique
III elemental makeup, one with the
hot blood OF France, the other with
the equally torrid flow of old Spain
coursinS through It's veins; fight
whose novel methods has lent zest
to the winter gaities of the national
capital.
For in former strivings for worlds
fair locations, cities have hattled in n
somewhat heavy style Of combat: pom
derous circularisng Of the prominent
citizens Of the nation, tedious memo
rails to Congress and heavy editorials
in the metropolitan dailics Such was
the ammunition OF former exposition
wars; it was Instructive and educa-
tional-also very boring.
Not SO the rapid-fire methods of
campaign now being conducted by the
nimble- witted partisans Of these rival
cities OF Gulf and Pacific.
The San Franciscan, ignoring the cir
cular and the heavy editorial method
betook himself to Washington and
there, within striking distance OF the
Capitol, where sat the deciding Con-
gresham. opened up sumptuous quar-
tiers in the New Willard Hotel From
the Golden State came carloads OF
oranges and grapes and all manner OF
luscious products. and there, in his hos

Now the New Orleans man, himself
