VIII Donate Medal.

Ran Webb, who is an enthusiastic
member of the Ardmore Gun club,
stated yesterday that he had ordered
small gold trophy to be shot for
each week irrespective of the regular
monthly trophy shoot and was to be
contested for unde~ no restrictions
whatever.
The wearer OF the medal for one
week has only to make the highest
score of the day in a 25-target shoot
and the medal is his for one week,
however, the winner of the regular
club trophy and tho wearer of the tro-
ply will be ineligible to contest.
This it is stated by Mr.. Webb will
be an inducement to less experience
ed shooters and will give them prac
tice until they are able to compete
with older and more experienced men
at the traps.
The Webb trophy will go to high
gun next Friday afternoon, no rules
to govern and no special time need
be named as medal shoot. High gun
wins.

LABOR LEADERS WIN
APPEAL PETITION
GOMPERS, MITCHELL AND NOR
RISON ARE GIVEN ANOTHER
CHANCE IN CASE.

Washington, June 21.-Chief Jus
tice White today granted an appeal
to the supreme court for Samuel
G,mpers, John Mitchell and Frank
Mo. risc,, labor leaders convicted of
contempt of court in the noted Bucks
Stove and Range case. The appeal
will be heard after October.
The three officials were held in
contempt by the supreme court of the
injunction against boycotting the
Bucks Stove and Range company.
Upon complaint by the company, the
court sentenced Gompers to a year in
Jail, Mitchell to nine months and
Morrison to siy lnontt. The 81
preme court of 'he United States set
aside all the sentences because the
contempt proceedings were brought in
the name of the stove company.
Thereupon the district supreme
court appointed a committee to bring
contempt proceedings in the name Of
the court. This was done and later
the same sentences were imposed as
in the first instances. The court OF
appeals of the district recently reduc-
ed these sentences to one months
Imprisonment and to $500 fines for
the other defendants.
For several weeks applications for
a review Of the cases had been pend
ing in the supreme court.
Chief Justice White referred the
application for the granting of writ
of error" by which the cases would
be reviewed to the entire court. The
court adjourned without announce
ment Of final action, but today the
chief Justice, probably in accordance
with directions of the full court,
granted a writ of error and an appeal
in the cases. This technical action
was due to division of opinion as
to whether the contempt cases should
be treated as Flaw cases." and brought
up on writ of error" or treated as
equity cases" and brought up on ap
peal.
Mr.. Gompers, who has been very i'll
for several weeks, is still in a ser
ious condition.

GRAND JURY DENoUNcE THE
CELLS UNFIT FOR OCCUPANCY
SCANDAL TO STATE.

White Plains, n. Y, June 21.-lR a

by the IWestchester county grand jury
a recommendation is made that Sing

doned and new state institution
built The prescntmen. denounces the
cells at Sing Sing unfit for occu-
pancy and the general situation at
the prison as "a scandal to the state" ,"
Some of the evils which the grand
jury declares exist at Sing Sing are
as follows:
The cell house was built in 1928
and there are many cells that son
light never penetrates, hence damp
exists and as a result many prisoners
have rheumatism and many have left
the institution affected with organic
troubles as many as 1000 prisoners
have been lodged in the prison at
one time whereas its capacity is Civ

convicts in pronounced state of tuber-
culosis being housed with men in
perfect health; men have been driven
insane by incarceration in the dark
cell" or the cooler" and have lost
from twenty-five to thirty-five pounds
in weight and in consequence of ag
ory and suffering have attempted sui
eide. At night there is no physician
on the premises; contagious disease
cases are not segregated and the hos

SENATOR kENDRlck HERE.
Thinks Legislature Will Be in Ses'
sion But a Short Time.

State Senator Chas. B. Kendrick
arrived in the city yesterday after
noon and will return at noon tomor-
row to Oklahoma City where the leg
islature will reconvene at noon Mon
day. Mr.. Kendrick is of the opinion
that adjournment can be taken Tues
day night but says If the session is
held many days that quorum will not
be maintained unless the sergeant at
arms is sent out after absent MEM
bers. The members will receive but
50 a day for their work. They have
been in session so long that their bus
mess affairs have been neglected.
The people also have urged an ad-
journment and the members will not
remain in session but short while.
1t will be practically impossible for
the state to be divided into congress-
onal districts and it looks now like
Oklahoma will elect three congress-
men at large another year. Some
important bills are in conference and
are ready to be reported. Reports
of investigation committees are ready
and Senator Kendrick is of the opin-
ion that the work will be fastened.
