Attention to Engaging Transports

Despite the absence of President Will

their precautionary plans.
Secretary Garrison remained in Wash

Funston declared that there was no truth
in rumored statements of Huertas war
minister that the truce had been broken
at Vera Cruz by the extension of Ameri-
can lines While a slight enlarging of the
American territory there would be ad-
vantageous for maintaining sources of
food supplies. yet great care. Gen. Fun

overstep orders from Washington.
The reported Lobos seizure. as an Incl
dent in latest developments in the Mexi-
can situation, was not more eagerly dis
cussed today than results of the renewed
rebel attack on Tampico. Capture of that
port by the constitutionaHsts. it was con-
sidered. might relieve the danger to de-
struction of foreign property there
through prolonged fighting.

Benefit Of Statute.

I'VE come, then. to the construction
OF the statute. 1t has been assumed
that the concluding words. unless the in
dictment is found or the information in
stituted within three years limit the of
fenses given the benefits of the act to
those usually prosecuted that way, and
the counsel for the petitioners were at
some pains to argue that the charges
of the committee amounted to an infor-
nation: a matter tha. opens vistas of
antiquarian speculation. But this ques-
ton is not one to be answered by re-
finement and curious inquiries
In our opinion. the proper interpreta ton
of the statute begins with the substantive,
not with the adjective part The sub
stantive portion of the section is that no
person shall be tried for any offenSe not
capital except within certain time.
Those words are of universal scope. What
follows is natural way of expressing
that the proceedings must begin within
three years. indictments and information
being the usual mode by which they are
begun. and very likely no other having
occurred to those who drew the law.
But It seems to us plain that the
dominant words of the act are no per-
son shall be prosecuted. tried or punished
for any offense not capital unless the
Indictment is found or the information
instituted within three years.
No reason has been suggested to US
for not giving the statue its natural
scope. Maintenance of their authority
does not often make il really necessary
for courts to exert their own power to
punish, as is shown by the English prac-
tjce in more violent days than these, and
there is no more reason for prolonSing
the period of liability when they see fit
to do so than in the case where the
same offense is proceeded against in the
common way.
I'm the punishment of these offenses, if
1t is to occur. the argument loses little
of its force IL 1t should be determined
hereafter. matter on which we express
no opinion that in the present state Of
the law an indictment would not lie for
contempt of the court of the United
States"
Quoting Chief Justice Marshall. the
court said: In expoundng this law
1t desires some consideration. that if 1t
does not limit action of debt for penal
ties those actions might. in many cases.
.be brought at any distance Of time.
This would be utterly repugnant to
the genius of our laws. In country
where not even treason can be pros
ecuted; after a lapse of three yearsr.
1t could scarcely be supposed that an
individual would ramatn forever liable

Opinion of the Court.

Inc court opinion said.
1T is urged in the first place that
contempt cannot be crimed to cause
although punishable by Imprisonment
and therefore crimed infamous, they
are within the protection of the Con-
stitution and the amendment giving a
right to trial by jury to persons
charged with such crimes But the
provisions of the Constitution are not
mathematical formulas having their
essence in their forms or organic liv-
Ing institutions transplanted from
English soil.
Their significance is vital not formal:
it is to be gathered not simply by taking
the words from the dictionary, but CON
sidering their origin and the line of their
growth
1T does not follow that contempts OF
the class under consideration are not
crimes. or. rather, in the language of the
statute, offenSes. because trial by Jury
as 1t has heen gradually worked out and
brought out has been thought not to ex-
tend to them as IA matter of constitu-
tional right
These contempts are infractions of the
II such acts are not criminal we are in
terstics OF crime as that word has been
understood i'll English speech. So truly
are they crimes that it seems to be
proved that in the early law they were
punished only by the usual criminal pro-
cedure, and that at least in England
they still may he and are tried in that
way.

Charges Result From Injunction.
The contempt charges against Gompers.
Mitchell and Morrison grew out of the
