DR.. Alsberg was speaking of the
limitations of the federal bureau under

cooperation between federal and state

Washington. June ee-Chlef Justice
White yesterday granted an appeal to
the supreme court for Samuel Gam
peEs, John Mitchell and Frank Morri-
son, labor leaders, convicted of con-
tempt of court in the noted Buck s
Stove and Range case. The appeal will

The three officials were held in con-
tempt by the supreme court Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia for violating an in
junction against boycotting the Buck S
stove and Range Company. Upon com
plant by the company the court SEN
fenced Gompers to a year in jail.

The supreme court of the United
States set aside ali the sentences be-
cause the contempt proceedings was

The-eupon the district supreme
court appointed committee to bring
contempt proceedings in the name OF
th.. court. This was done and later the
same sentences were imposed as in the
first instance The court Of appeals
Of the district recently reduced these
sentences TO one months imprisonment
for Gompers and TO $500 fines for the
other defendants.
Fer several weeks applications for
review Of the cases had been pending

Chief Justice White referred the ap-
piication for the granting of writ OF

adjourned without announcement OF
final action. but Thursday the chief
Justice. probably in accordance with
directions of the full court, granted q

Sun Power in tn, Great Desert.

If all that has been written, dreamed
and specnlated concerning the posi-
bility of bottled-up sunshine had been
printed the matter would fill library
of fairly respectable dimensions. and
yet little of a practical nature has SO
far come Of it all AS tho to revive the
subject, the president of an engineers
society OF one of the eastern states OF
the uni6n Incorporates into his re-
marks on retiring from his office, the
observation that the power latent IN
the solar rays in one part of the world
may some day be stored and brought
to other lands where it can be used.
The gentleman says that all we need IS
a method whereby the suns heat in
dry, tropical lands, such as the Sahara
desert. may be converted into form
in which IL may be transmitted to hab-
liable countries where 1t can be used.
That sounds very simple, and yet II
reminds one OF that famous reply OF
Congressman Brander, when the chair
man of the delegation from Red Dog
wound up his request for an appropri-
alton by saying that all Red Dog need
ed was good society and water. f'urther
to demonstrate the potentiaifties OF
tropical heat the engineer says that
square kiiometer Of tropical heat Is
equal to that produced by burning 1000
tons OF coal. Computing only six
hour day surface OF 10000 square
kflometers would receive In year. heat
equal to the combustion OF 3,b0U0oo,0oo
tons Of coaf or more than three times
the present annual production. AS the
desert of Sahara has 100000 square
kiiometers it consequently receives
! daily solar energy equivalent to $780,
600 600 tons of coal
1t is upon these simple figures that
the gentleman bases his hopes that
come day We may be able to transport
this energy from the Sahara for use in
the United States. They show. at least,
that the SUBJECTS we'll worthy OF care
