banks of the Savannah river with
bloodhounds; but so far as has been
reported there has been no trace or the
negro since last Thursday evening
when he exchanged shots with party
of pursuers by the roadside. A posse
that worked the swamps in the neigh
borhood of Savannah, reached that city
Sunday night, worn out and discourag-
ed and took the train back to Barnwell.
Bloodhounds from the penitentiary were
unable to strike the negro's trail.
Washington, May 3: The tariff
fight in the house reached climax to-
day over schedule K" the much dis
cussed and always disputed wool tarin.
A three cornered fight was apparently
early in the day over the free raw wool
bill, Republicans demanding that
duty Of about Is per cent and were sup
ported by some Progressives and wool
Insurgents Of the majority In demand
ing Is per cent duty, which tney
claimed was the original judgment OF
the ways and means committee until
President Wilson interferred. Though
almost certain to pass the house un-
changed in May, it is predicted that II
free raw wool comes back from the SEN
ate with a duty 1t will receive the solid
Democratic support. Majority Leader
Underwood championed the schedule
on behalf of the ways and means COM
mittee and the president, declaring that
the president was as much entitled to
consideration in making the tariff as
any citizen. Many of the Democrats,
freed from the binding rule of the eau
Gus, opposed the schedule with those
coming from western states.
washington, May 8: Democratic
Leader Underwood, on Saturday an
nounced he intends to call, immediate

q meeting of the Democratic caucus
committee to outline budget appro.
priation system. The president Is salo
to approve such a system and cabinet
officers will be consulted regarding the

The subject will be one Of the first to

The vice president and Mrs. Mar
shall, with Senator Chiffon, OF West
Virginia, were the guests Of honor at
Lewisburg, West Virginia last Sunday
at the celebration of the 18th anniver-
sary of the formation Of the Green
Briar presbytery and the Tooth ami
versary of the founding Of the Lewis
burg Female college. Lewisburg, To-
Gated in the blue grass region OF the
Alleghenies and one OF the Oldest court
house towns Of West Virginia, extend
ed the vice president genuine noun
tain welcome. Spectators came from all
directions. Mr.. Marshall spoke on THE
Modern Puritan" in part as follows:
AT all times and places, only those
men who are not afraid to act accord
ing to their convictions can be relied
upon to preserve the country. There are
three classes Of citizens, those who re-
spect the law for fear Of punishment.
those who obey the law because 1t Is
law, and those who are true Christians
and are automatically law abiding and
who would act rightly with no strong
arm Of the law to direct their move
ments Without Christianity. America
could not live. We are the melting pot
of numerous types Of the world. With
out Christianity to mark the rule OF life
our hopes would come to naught."
London, May 5: King Nicholas of
Montenegro, having placed the future
of Scutari in the hands Of the Euro
pean powers, the settlement OF the Al
bania trouble now depends upon whetn-
er Essad Pasha and david Pasha will
obey the orders sent by the Sublime
Porte to withdraw their armies to the
Turkish empire. 1t Is believed that as
Montenegro has abandoned Scutari,
Essad Pasha will recognize the futiity
Of his aspirations to the kingship OF Al,
bania in the face of the threatened
Austro- Italian expedition to expel him.
One Of the ambassadors at the close OF
the ambassadorial conference here to-
day said: 1.-The situation Is saved and
the crisis is past. The reported Austro-
Italian action in Albania has no point
now." Another meeting Of the ambas-
sadorial conference will be held on
Thursday when arrangements with re-
gard to the future of Scutari and AL
bania will be discussed at the close or
the ambassadors conference In London.
Today an official communication was
issued reading as follows: 1.-The fact
that the king Of Montenegro has placed
the fate Of Scutari in the hands OF the
powers is a matter Of great satisfac-
tion. The governments Of the powers
shall be made in the immediate future
in regard to the town." The telegram
from King Nicholas to Sir Edward
Grey, the British foreign secretary, an
nouncing that he had surrendered, was
as follows: MY dignity and that OF
my people do not allow me to submit to
isolated orders. I therefore place the
destiny of Scutari in the hands Of the
great powers"
Contempt Of court judgments
against Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell
and Frank Morrison for their violation
of a courts injunction in the noted
Buck Stove and Range case were az
firmed yesterday by the district court
of appeals, but the Jail sentences i'm
posed were held to have been too Sc
we're, so the court reduced Gompers'
sentence from one year to thirty days
and decreed that Mitchell and Morri-
son should merely be fined $500. The
lower court sentenced Mitchell to nine
months and Morrison to six. The su-
.preme court of the United States un-
doubtedly will be asked to again review
the decision. Unlike previous decisions
in this case which have been unani-
nous against the labor leaders, the
court of appeals was divided. Chle1
Justice Sheppard dissented, held that
the whole decision should be reversed; :;
that contempt Of Federal court was a
criminal offense and tnat the statute oi
limitations had run in the case. JUS
tice Van Orsdel, who concurred In the
majority opinion, held that the refusa!
of Mitchell to assure the lower court OF
his intention to obey the mandate OF
inferior courts in the future was i'm
portant in measuring the intent and
temper Of the respondents" With that
the dissenting chief justice disagreed,
saying in his opinion: Il am unable 10
see how the refusal to apologize for an
act, the commission Of which has been
expressly denied, shows a reprehensive
intent of temper. On the contrary. 1t
seems to me the natural conduct OF a
self-respecting man. Having sworn that
he neither disobeyed nor intended to
disobey the mandate of the court, a
confession that he had done so would
be a solemn admission Of the commits
sion of wilful perjury"
