"INJUNCTION,s WHITFoRD
SAVES HIS FACE"

Denver, Colo, Nov. 16.-Judge
Greedy Whitford yesterday en-
tered a court order withdrawing
charges of contempt of court
against Is members of the United
Mine Workers, who were thrown
into Jail on his order.
The men were released few
weeks ago on7writs4 of superse-
IDEAS, and Whitfords order
amounted to nothing more than
an effort on his part to. save his
face. His. action permanently
frees the accused men.
He held the men guilty of VIC
lating an injunction issued by
him preventing interference with
strikebreakers in the Northern.
Colorado coal fields. They were
sentenced to one year each.
Judge Whitford's original or
der resulted in sensational agita-
ton against government by in
junction. Nearly $1,000 people
paraded the streets of Denver last
January as protest against the
decision, and later filed a petition
with the legislature demanding
the Judges impeachment.

Gov. Hawley Says National De-
partment of Justice Debauched
Witnesses for Own Ends.
Boise, Idaho, Nov. 16.-Gov-
ernor James H. Hawley, has
thrown a, bomb in the form of a
public statement into the ranks of
the Taft administration.
He charges
That the National Department
of Justice has been engaged in
purchasing the testimony Of self
confessed thieves and bank
wreckers on promises of immun-
ity.
That the testimony of these de-
bauched men has been. used to
convict men only technically
guilty. :. ls
That the purpose of these
things was to permit special pros;
ecutors for the Department of
Justice to establish regulations.
That President Taft lent his
countenance to such actions on
the part of the Department of
Justice.
That no other act in the history
of Idaho has so brought Justice
into disrepute with the people,
nor so retarded the development
of the state.
He cites the case of Clarence

Lewiston, Idaho, Nationa! bank,
