eoMPERs CONTEMPT CASE.
Supreme Court to Decide as to Serv-
 ing Jail Sentences.

Washington, Dec. 29.-On the strength largely of brief filed today with the United States supreme court will depend whether Samuel Comp CTS, president of the American Fed eration of Labor, must go to jail for contempt of the District of Columbia supreme court.
 The contempt sentence arose out of the injunction of the district court against boycotting the Bucks Stove and Range Company. The district court of appeals reduced the sen tence imposed by the trial court from one year to thirty days. It also re- duced jail sentences imposed on John Mitchell, former member of the Amer ican Federation of Labor executive counsel, and Frank Morrison. seere- tary of the American Federation of Labor, to- $500 fine each.
 One Of the principal points relied upon by the labor leaders is that con- tempt of court is a crime and that prosecutions are limited to three years ill the District.

IDENTITY OF MINE OFFICERS AS sAiLANTS STILL UNKNOWN

M'NAUGHrON IS MENTIONED
AS the Man Who Took Movers Purse and Threatened Him-Head of Min. ing Company Denies He Was in Hancock Night of Kidnapping.

Calumet, Mich. Dec. 29.-In efforts to solve the puzzlins circumstances attending the deportation of Charles II. Mover. president of the Western Federation of Miners, last Friday night. local interest today centered in the untapgling of statements bring ing the name of James McNaughton. general manager of thr Calumet and Hecla Mining Company into the case. D. N. Hilton, chief counsel for the Federation. and Mir McNaughton each issued a statement.
 MT. Mover did not say that he knew McNaughton personally" said Mir. Hilton. "and I believe the stale ment that MT. Mover claimed to have met the general manager of the Calu- met and Hecla Company in confer ence Is based on misapprehensim.
 What Mir Mover told me was sub- stantially this:
 That when the mob had drag ged him@to the depot in Houghton a man who physically answered the descrip- ton or McNaughton alighted from an automobile cursed him and searched his pockets taking two wal lets. one containing money, which was returned, and the other holding pri- yate papers and a sl0 bill. which was kept.
 This man was addressed by other members of the mob as Jim and wore a general air of authority that itbes with McNaughton' personality. The man told Mir. Mover that if he ever came back to the copper country he would hang him.
 MT Mover told me in Chicago he was convinced in his own mind that the man in question was James Me- Naughton."
 Let me repeat. that any charge made by Mir. Mover connecting me in any way with the events at Houyh ton is maliciously false" said Mir. Me aughton. T was in Calumet all even ing, calling with my wife on a friend and then accompanying him across the street from his home to a club. l should be unwilling to discuss the ridiculous charge further except for the fact that I have received tele-l grams from friends in other cities showing that the misstatements have gained wide circulation. On what nmsy hasis these misstatements were made is evidenced by the most cursory analysis of Mir Movers evi- dence. There are hundreds of men in this country named Jim, and l am not the only tall man in the commun- ity, either"
 The grand jury, which is to be ask ed to consider the Mover affair, will reeonvene tomorrow. It was thought tonight that the jury would attempt to clear up it's docket of other inqlir- ies growing out of the strike events before taking Up last weeks occur rences.
