Stirring Scene is Enacted When Sheriff Attempt to Lead Seventy-Five-Year- Old Newspaper Man to Prison Cell
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHI

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 1.-Only the persistent efforts of his attorney in the face of obdurate denials by the court, saved William R. Nelson, edi tor and owner of the Kansas City Star from immediately being placed in jail today after a sentence of one days Imprisonment had been imposed by Judge Joseph A. Guthrie of the Jackson county circuit court upon his conviction for contempt of court. The charge was that Nelson, through his paper, defamed the court in the publication of an article stating that the judge, upon the advice of a di- vorce lawyer, allowed the attorneys fees to take precedence over the ali mony in a divorce suit dismissed without being brought to trial.
 A hush fell over the packed court room when upon the courts order. Sheriff Edwin Winstanley grabbed Nelson by the arm and started to lead him to jail. Nelson is 75 years old.
 q will not run away" he said, looking at the sheriff.
 Just one moment" thundered Frank P. Walsh, attorney for the de- fendant
 The sheriff tugged at the prisoner.
 Nelson started to go with him.
 Your honor" fairly shouted Walsh, has a court ever in the annals of criminal contempt cases heard of a sentenced prisoner being denied the right of few minutes consultation with counsel before being hustled off the jail?"
 Fulfill the order. MT Sheriff" the court said, and turning to Walsh pronounced slowly:
 This court is through with this case. It is in the sheriffs hands"
 Walsh dashed backward and for ward. pleading first with the sheriff and then with the judge that the action contemplated was without precedence.
 "Is it the intention merely to hu- initiate my client. or am I to be all lowed five or ten minutes in which to procure a writ of habeas corpus, which even now is being prepared in the court of appeals?''
 After ten minutes argument the court finally relented and granted time. In few minutes one of WdISn dSSlSIdHIS puSIIcu liil OuS IT the crowd with the writ which stayed the execution of the sentence and car ried the defendant immediately to the Kansas court of appeals where Judge J. M. Johnson made the habeas corpus immediately effective and re- leased Nelson on his own recogniz- ance to appear for hearing on We'd nesday. February ,.

COMMISSION GETS SALARY
Tax Department Wins Its Contest
Against the Auditor in the State
Supreme Court.

Members of state tax commission
are to receive their salaries and the
department is sure of maintenance
until some future legislation repeats
the act creating the commission, in
accordance with a decision handed
down by the supreme court
The law creating the commission
carries appropriations a%ggregating
$22,500. State Auditor Jergenson con-
tended that only $4,000 of this amount
was an actual appropriation. An
amendment carrying an additional
appropriation of $17,500 was vetoed by
Governor Hanna.
Auditor Jergenson refused to honor
vouchers of the state tax commission
for their salaries and departmental
expenses when $4,000 for the appro-
priation for 1913 had been exhausted.
The tax commission carried the case
to the supreme court on a writ of
mandamus against the auditor. The
decision upholds the legality of the
standing annual appropriation, which
amounts to more than $4,000.

ton to the fact that the department
of justice possessed other funds with
which to enforce the antitrust law.
The urgent need of various gov

president to speedy action on the
measure.
The bill carries SIG, 900, 900 in ap.

surprise when A. Y. More, owner of
the Fargo On. d. Courier-News,
and A. M. Baker, manager of
that paper, gave their testimony
about an editorial recently printed in
the Courier-News which Senator
Gronna thought was a reflection upon
him and which led to their being sub
poenaed.
Both men made the long trip to
Washington in answer to the senate
summons and then declared under
oath that they knew nothing of the
editorial until they saw it in print.
1t was written, they said, by James
A. Metcalfe of Glendive, Mont, TEN.

away from Fargo.
Both More and Baker said that they
had no reason to doubt Senator Gron-

thought, merely in a fiippant way.
