Punishment Prescribed.

According to the latest work on the
laws of England. by Lord Halsbury. it
was misdemeanor punisha ble by fine or
imprisonment and Mr.. Justice I.urton
held to exactly the same effect, as did
many other American courts and judges
He argued that at all times Attorneys
General had held criminal contempt to be
pardonable by the President although
civil contempt was not SO treated Refer
ring to the statute of limitations he said
that unless the information or Indictment
was found within three years after the
offense was committed, it was barred.
The committee having contended below
that the proceeding in this case was not
by way of information, Mr.. RaIston next
reviewed informa tons at common law
and contende6 as the result of his review
that the report on which the rule to show
cause issued required respondents to an
Swer why they should not be adjudged
guilty of contempt was i'm all respects an
informa ton, and all the incidents of the
common law as to infOrmations were fol-
lowed in this proceeding. He called at
tentiOn further to the fact that whenever
the statute of limitations had been passed
upon in criminal contempt cases in this
country it had always been sustained

HOLDS CONTEMPT A CRIME

That contempt of court is "a crime and
that it must be punished, if at all, in pro-
ceedings begun before the expiration of
three Years from it's commission. was
strongly urged by Attorney Jackson ii.
Ralston, counsel for Samuel Gompers,
John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, labor
leaders. before the Court Of Appeals late
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. RaISton made
the closing argument in tn" effort of the
labor men to have the appellate court re-
verse the decision of Justice Wright and
prevent the serving of Jail sentences by
Mr.. Gompers and his associates.
Ralston's Contentious.
Mr. Ralston first commended that the
only charges upon which the respondents
could be held were those based upon the
original order, which expired March %,
1908, and that therefore the respondents
could not be held under the plea of the
statute of limitations three years and
three months having elapsed between the
first order and the fling Of the commit

nearly every supposed Offense was COM

He then. after explaining the nature of
the different kinds of contempt, insisted
tHdL u contempt Was HleTeiN d
crime like any other existing at common
law or under statute, and that in its
carly history and for several hundred
years it was never prosecuted except
under information or indictment and
passed upon by jury. For a. long pc
riod it was tried by star chamber exclu-
sively and upon information No court
OF chancery ever undertook to exercise

summarily until within about one hundred
years back.

The state roads commission, o. E. We'll

three and one-half miles of concrete road
from T. B. in Nottingham district, to the
Charles county line, and about five miles
Of concrete road from the District of Co
lumbia line to the Meadows. both high
vays in Prince Georges county. These
proposed roads pass through fertile Sec
tons of Maryland. and will be much
used by Washington automobilists. They
constitute the completing links of state
roads already constructed.
There is but one piece of concrete road
in Prince Georges county. and this is the
section of the Washington Baltimore
boulevard through Bladensburg. 1t is said
that the state roads commission will con-
struct no more macadam roads in Mary

Answer to Committee.

Touching upon the suggestion made by
the committee that the proceeding was in
equity and that the statute did not apply
he said:
''Have these gentlemen never heard of
equity following the law? If there were
the slightest thing in their argument do
they suppose that in a. case of this kind,
where there is concurrent jurisdiction, as
there must be by their ideas. or where at
least there may be separate punishment
do they suppose it is not the duty of
equity to follow the law. else make a
perfect sham of its name?'

ADVENTURES I'm ECONOMY

from throwing away food that can be
served in entrees
If it seems impossible to save enough
to pay for all the trouble, last months
experiment will prove that many
mickle makes a muckIe." The woman
who is willing to start out on an adven-
ture in economy will find that she can
pay half her maids wages by what Is
saved. And incidentally she will learn
that one of the chief difficulties in the re-
lation of mistress and maid has been re-
moved, for the business partnership will
inevitably increase the self-respect OF the
domestic employe and establish new
status.
After all. the main trouble in obtaining
good domestic employees is due largely to
the stigma attached to the position of
mental. The word 'meniaf came from
''menia." within the walls and became a
term of opprobrium through the years in
which domestic service has evolved
through slavery and other bad conditions.
With the growing recognition of the dig
nifty and responsibility of all pertaining to
the work of the household will come
new nomenclature. In place of servant
in the homes of persons of moderate
means there will be the cooperative
housekeeper and the trained maid. who
will have the same status as the grad
uate nurse.
