FITZGERALD'S PAPER
Gets Mad When Addressed
by Mr.. Folk as Tim
Byrnes

Washington, May l2-Timothy I
! Brynes, ex-vice-p president of the New
Haven railroad, was witness before thu
interstate commerce commission yes
terday morning in the investigation
which the commission is conducting int
the financial affairs of the New Haven
While Mr. Brynes was vice-president
he signed numerous vouchers for money
paid by the New Haven, and among
these were vouchers representing money
| paid for advertising and publicity work
| Mr.. Brynes was questioned closely by
Solicitor Joseph Folk as to payments
made to the Boston Republic. The
voucher showed that the Republic got
about $4,000 year.
That's Mayor Fitzgersld's paper
isn't iti" asked Mr.. Folk.
The witness said he thought it was.
"Well, is that the reason you paid
this sunni"
"Well. l would not put it in that
way" said Mr.. Brynes
did you authorize the advertisements
for which it is alleged this money was
paidf"
"A great deal appeared that l never
did authorize"
Mr.. Brynes said that the paper put
in claims for money for which he would
not authorize payment.
"As long as Mr.. Fitzgerald was
mayor, you did not dispute these bills ?"
Constantly" said Mr.. Brynes. He
was mayor when / quarreled with him
over the matter. ! did not feel that his
advertisements were worth what he was
charging for them"
The proceedings were enlivened by a
tilt between Mr.. Brynes and Chief Coun-
sci Folk of the commission, who alluded
to the witness in the course of his ex-
animation as Tim" Brynes.
Il ask that you call me Timothy
Brynes," requested the witness, his face
coloring with anger.
81 will call Won what | please" re-
torted Mr.. Folk, also showing some
heat.

courtesy" answered Byrnes, looking to
Examiner Gartner, who was presiding
ut seems to me-" remarked Mr.. Cart
ner, that the witness should be called
by the name he requests"
Mr.. Phippen, the first witness, testi-
fed that he became treasurer of the
Boston Railroad Holding company in
September, 1911, and that he also was
treasurer of the Old Colony railroad and
several other transportation companies.
He said that his company issued no
notes to John L. Billiard while he was
treasurer.
The Boston & Maine railroad paid its
last dividend on April /, 1913, and since
then the New Haven company had adj
vanced to the Holding company the
money to pay dividends on its preferred
stock, to pay taxes and other expenses

fed last week and that he had made 81
T48,000 in Boston Il Maine stock with
the use of New Haven money, would be
called to the stand this morning as pre-
viously announced and would be sworn
the same as any other witness, and that
this would give him immunity in con-
nection with any testimony he gave re-
lating to any pending litigation. From
this it would appear that the commits

titude of the department OF justice in
the premises.

CANNOT REOPEN
MINES, HE SAYS
Garrison Also Declares Orders Were Not
Issued as to Strike Breakers in
Colorado.

Washington, May l2.--No mines will
be permitted to reopen in the Colorado
strike district for the present, Secretary
OF War Garrison announced to-day. He
denied that orders had been issued for
bidding importation of strikebreakers,
but explained that while the situation
remained threatening the mines not al
ready running would be kept closed, un-
til, in his judgment, their opening would
precipitate no further trouble.
1T makes no difference whether
strikebreakers are imported or whether
labor is on the ground" said Mr.. Gar
rison. "The question is whether their
employment would start trouble. We
are not going to permit anything that
would aggravate the situation"

Sentence of 80 Days for For
mer Set Aside by the
Supreme Court
BY STATUTE OF
LIMITATIONS
A. F. of L. Wins a Long.
Fought Contempt Case
in Supreme Court

Washington, May l2-Samuel Com
pers, president Frank Morrison, secre-
tary, and John Mitchell, member OF
the executive committee of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, will not have
to serve the sentence imposed upon them
by the supreme court of the District OF
Columbia for alleged contempt.
The case, which has been twice before
the supreme court, was reversed yester-
day, not on its merits, but because the
statute of limitations had interviewed.
The statute which was invoked to
save the labor leaders is federal law
Of the District of Columbia which pro-
yides that no prosecution may be begun
after three years have interviewed fol-
lowing the commission of the offence. It
applies to all offences except capital
ones.
The decision was not unanimous, JUS
tices Pitney and Vandeyenter dissenting.
The courts opinion was delivered by
Justice Holmes.
The Gompers case started in Deem
Der, 1907. 1t reached the supreme court
after having passed through the SUI
preme court of the District of Columbia
and the court of appeals of the district.
There it was reversed for Irregularities
In the procedure and stated over again
the next day in the supreme court, when
committee of the local bar was APP
pointed to investigate and report whether
nm offence OF contempt had been COM
nntted. This committee reported that
there had been contempt and recon-
mended prosecution.

| fed the punishment by giving Gompers
A prison sentence of thirty days and
Morrison and Mitchell each a fine OF
$500.
| 1t was this sentence that the supreme
court reversed yesterday. The opinion
| found that the charge of contempt is the
statute of limitations. 1t found that
practically all of the offences charged
against the labor leaders had occurred
more than three years before the inves-
tigation by the bar associations com
mittee was started. As to the few that
were alleged to have occurred after that
time the court held that they were too
frivolous to be considered. j.
The court also dismissed the conten-
tion of the prosecution that the offence
involving conspiracy" was a continu-
ing offence and was taken out of the
statute of limitations.
The court replied to this contention
by saying that the defendants were be-
fore the court ON the charge of con-
tempt and not on the conspiracy" and
that the two offences We're distinct.
The Gompers case has been one of the
most celebrated before the court in re-
cent years, and there was shade of
disappointment yesterday among mem
bers of the bar that the case was dis
posed of on the statute of limitations
instead of on its merits.
The three labor leaders were brought
into court and sentenced for alleged
violation of an injunction issued by the
supreme court of the District of Colum

APPLY SULPHUR LIKE A COLD CREAM
WHEN SKIN BREAKS OUT
SAYS SULPHUR WILL END ITCHING ECZEMA

and intlammatory affections of the skin.
While not always establishing perma-
nent cure, yet in every instance it in
stantly stops the agonizing itching;
subdues the irritation and heals the in
famed, raw skin right up and it is often
years later before any eczema eruption
again appears.
Those troubled should obtain from
any good pharmacist an ounce of bold
sulphur cream and apply it directly
upon the abrasion like an ordinary cold
cream. 1t isn't unpleasant and the
prompt relief afforded is very welcome.

"Once upon a time, when Nine.
Alboni was at Trieste" writes Hen
ry G. Lahee in Famous Singers of
Today" Etshe was informed of the
existence Of plot to hiss her off
the stage. Having ascertained the
names of her detractors and where
they were to be found, she donned
male attire, to which her short hair
and robust figure helped to COM
plete her disguise, and went to the
cafe at which the conspirators met.
Here she found them in full con-
sultation, and, taking seat at a
table, she listened to their CONVEX
sation for time. After awhile she
addressed the leader, saying: 4
hear that you intend to play trick
upon some one. am very fond of
a little practical joke myself and
should be glad if you would allow
me to join you on this OCCASION
"fWith pleasure was the reply.
tWe intend to hiss an opera singer
off the stage this evening"
"1ndeed! And of what is she
guilty?'
"*Oh, nothing, except that, being
an italian, she has sung in Munich
and Vienna to German audiences,
and we think she ought to receive
some castigation for her unpatriotic
conduct
"T. agree with you, and now
please tell me what I am to do
"'Take this WHISTLE said the
leader. AT a signal to be given at
the conclusion of the air sung by
Rosina the noise will begin, and you
will have to join in.'
"1 shall be very glad to do so,'
said the singer and put the whistle
in her pocket.
'1n the evening the house was
packed-every seat was occupied
and the audience warmly applauded
the opening numbers of the opera.
In due course Nine. Alboni appear
ed, and at the point at which she
was about to address her tutor q
few of the conspirators began to
make disturbance, not waiting for
the signal.
"Without showing any concern
Nine. Alboni walked down to the
footlights, and, holding up the
whistle, which was hung to her
neck by a ribbon, she exclaimed:
Gentlemen, are you not little be-
fore your time? l thought we were
not to commence whistling until l
had sung the air.

FOR OLD CUMBERLAND ROAD
Bill IN Congress For lts Extension In
Four States as PLEDGED,

Bill IN Congress For lts Extension In
Four States as Pledged.
The National Highway association
In calling attention to bill of Repre-
sentative Barnhart Of Indiana for the
extension of the old Cumberland road
throws some light on the history of
that highway.
when in 1902 Ohio was admitted
to the Union," it says in a recent
statement, ''the general government
gave its written pledge that one-twen-
tieth of the net proceeds from the sale
OF all public lands situated within the
state would be applied by congress to
the building Of national road from
tldeWater on the Atlantic to and
through the state. Similar contracts
were entered into by the government
with Indiana, Illinois and Missouri
upon their admission to the Union.
Subsequently the government sold the
public lands thus reserved and pledg-
ed to the purpose of building Of roads
and appropriated the proceeds to the
building of the Cumberland road in
Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Only a small part of the money was
spent in any of the public land states,
and none Of it reached Missouri.
Representative Barnhart's bill calls
for an appropriation of $5OOO.OOO for
continuing the construction and pro-
viding for the maintenance Of the
Cumberland road in those states.
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are each to
get $1,0OO,00O and Missouri $1,000, 600.
The bill authorizes the president to ap-
point three national highway commits
sioners to have full charge Of con-
strhction, repairs and maintenance Of
the road. They are to serve three years
and receive $1,000 salary each. The
road follows the route Of the National
Old Trails road and is part of the
$1,000 miles of national highways pro-
posed. The Cumberland road does not
touch Mr. Barnhart's district, but he
realizes, as Lincoln did, thatstno public
improvement is so local as to be of no
general benefit"
