GOMPERS ON STAND
 IN OWN DEFENSE
Makes Unequivocal Denial of All Allegations Made Against Him
 by Attorneys

Washington February 6.-Samuel Com pers. president of the American Feder- ation of Labor, made an unequivocal de- nial of any intent to disobey the injunc- ton of the supreme court of the District of Columbia, when he took the stand to- day in his own defense against the charge of contempt in connection with the Buck Stove and Range company boycott case. His testimony was not completed and he will be a witness tomorrow.
 MT. Gompers insisted, under oath. that his editorials in the American Federation ist and the utterances of himself and other officials of organized labor during the campaign of 1908 were not intended to aid or abate the boycott of the com many. For these alleged acts in violation of the courts MT. Gompers was sentenced to one year, John Mitchell to nine months and Secretary Frank Morrison to stx months in the Washington jail.
 MT. Gompers explained that his speeches were based on his understanding of the American right of free speech. He denied specifically each instance cited by the committee of attorneys who are prosecut- ing him, and stated that the boycott or inc Buck Stove company was not in hls mind when he uttered them.

Nordan Favors Underwood

Harvey T. Nordan of Georgia. late pres ident of the Southern Cotton Growers as- sociation, was in Washington today. He called on a number of congressman in the interest of legislation affecting the marketing and handling of the cotton crop.
 Discussing politics he said: ''1t is my opinion that just at this time majority of the voters of Georgia favor Wilson for President, but personally I am for Oscar Underwood. I am not only for him on account of my belief in his fitness and ability. but for the reason that l consider that 1t is full time for the dem ocrats of the south to claim some of the honors of the party that they suppQit. There is no reason why Underwood as a southern man should not be just as ac- ceptable to the party as any man of equal fitness from any other section Of the country.
 '"The sentiment for MT. Underwood is growing in Georgia and there Is no tell ing what may happen, though the Wil- son people have strong organization that is doing hard work"

 Marching orders are expected with full field equipment There is a possibility that the state department may call upon the war department to protect the lives of Americans along the line. The plans of the general staff were spread out at head quarters and renewed instructions to await marching orders were bulletined to army commanders at points from which troops can be quickly concentrated It was made plain the government does not intend to send more troops to the border unless the situation absolutely demands 1t.
 Several thousand soldiers meanwhile rest at attention.

 There are admitted abuses of money power. Such abuses have always ex- isted. If Congress has any power to correct these abuses it is through legis- lation.

 "Jeffersons example following that of Washington removed the question of d third term from the politics of that time he said. There was universal acquies- cence in the practice established by Madi- son and Monroe. Andrew Jackson did not believe in even one reelection.
 During Grants second term there was an agitation to secure his election for a
 third term. After more than year of discussion the question brought up In Congress and on December 15, 1875, the House of Representatives, by vote of
 23s to IS, passed a resolution against the third term idea. Four years after his
 name was presented to the republican convention this was remembered consti- tutionally. President Mckinley put him self unequiyocaly on record against a | third term by saying he would not ac- | cept the nomination if fl were rendered l him President Roosevelt was equally
 emphatic in his refusal to consider a third term.

Taft Is Not Alarmed

After todays cabinet meeting the President professed not to be alarmed over the situation. It was admitted in official circles, however, that the sep aration of Chihiuahua from the re-

 one that existed during the last re-
 bellion.
 It is not belieevd there would be

Or0zcO Doubted

Another uprising in Mexico Is im- pending according to official dispatches received here today These cast grave doubts upon the loyalty of General orozco to President Madero and inti- mate that disaffection has appeared In the barracks at Juarez. Orozco is said to be about ready to start a rebellion and declare the independence of the state of Chihuahua.
 Army circles are again agitated over a tense situation and preparations for immediate action are renewing.
 Frankly admitting the gravity of the situation officials here are insistent nothing more is contemplated at this stage than to make the border patrol strong enough for all legitimate pur- poses and to rigidly enforce the neu- trality laws.
 There Is no intention to send q sin gle soldier across the line. 1t is point ed out that to do so would be equiva- lent to a declaration of war which would require action of Congress.
 It is felt that there must be force of American troops on the border to prevent the indiscriminate crossing of the line by either rebel or government forces should the threatened secession of Chihuahua result in hostilities.
