GOMPERS VICTOR
IN COURT BATTLE
U. S. Tribunal Sets Aside Sem
tence for Contempt.
CITE STATUTE OF ELIMINATION
Justices Of Supreme Court Agree That
A. F. Of L. Head, John Mitchell
and Frank Morrison Had Been
Convicted illegally.

Washington, May l2.-Samuel Com
ly second president, and Frank
Morrison, secretary Of the American
Federation OF Labor, won a sweeping
victory in the Supreme court OF the
United States when that court set
aside the sentences imposed on the
labor leaders growing out of the Bucks
Stove and Range company case.
Gompers had been sentenced to 30
days in Jail and Mitchell and Morri'
son had been fined $500 each.
Courts Decision Ends Matter.
The decision of the high court
means that the last chapter has been
written in the famous labor case and
that Gompcrs and his colleagues will
never suffer any criminal punishment
for their alleged disobedience Of the
injunction issued by Judge Wright Of
the supreme court of the District of
Columbia, aimed at the publication in
the American Federationist of the So
called unfair list"
Holmes Reads Opinion.
Justice Holmes read the opinion OF
the court He emphasized that the
proceedings in the district court
against the labor leaders were "a
punishment solely for past acts, not
for prevention of acts in the future"
The decision turned on the plea Of
the statute of limitations, which had
heen urged by the labor leaders as a
bar to their prosecution by the com
mittee of prosecutors appointed by
Judge Wright. They claimed that they
could not be prosecuted for acts com
mitted three years prior to the time
when they were last prosecuted in the
District courts.
Justice Holmes was inclined to take
a broad view Of the statute of limita-
tons and declared that 1t did not make
any difference whether the case
against the labor leaders was a regu-
lar indictment or some other proceed
ings, the statute OF limations applied
Just the same. The prosecutors have
claimed that the statute did not ap-
ply because the proceedings against
the labor leaders was not an indict-
ment and was not subject to the or.
binary limitation OF law.
Quotes Chief Justice Marshall.
Justice Holmes said that was not
within reasoning. He quoted the words
OF Chief Justice Marshall to the eff
feet that mo persons shall be tried for
any offense not capital" after a GER
tam period Of time-as set forth in the
statute OF limitations.
Tire action Of the high court, &C
cordng to officials OF the department
OF justice, means that nothing more
will be done in the case. 1t will be
allowed to go by default. After 60
days a mandate will be issued to the
District Of Columbia court OF appeals,
notifying that tribunal that the case
against Gompers and his colleagues
his been dismissed.
Justice Vandeventer dissented but
read no opinion.
Coal Operators in Panic.

nouncement from Washington that

OF great rejoicing among the strikers.

THE CHRISTMAS SHIP

The Santa Claus ship, onw speeding o n its way towards Europe,
carries Christmas presents for five million women and children Of the
war-sricken countries There are 10000 packing cases aboard besides
the same number OF express packages.
II all goes we'll the ship is due to arrive a Falmouth, England,
O our Thanksgiving Day. There she will unload the Christmas gifts
for England and Belgium. a British warshp carrying the Belgian pres
ents across the channel. The Jason will leave Falmouth o n the 29th OF
this month for Marsei1es, where she is due December 5th, and where
the gifts for the French children will be put ashore. -Four days later
the Christmas ship will proceed to Genoa, where the presents for Ger
many and Austria will arrive and be sent by train to their destination,
December 10th the Jason is due at Salonica, bearing gifts for Servla
and Montenegro. RusIas share will go by a Rusian-Amercan line
direct to Aarchangel
To Mr.. Kelley, editor of the Chicago Herald, must be given the
credit OF first bringing the idea to the mind of the American public.
Other papers took the idea up and the people responded from the
Atlantic to the Pacific; from the lakes to the gulf. 1t is to be hoped
that there will be a remembrance for the aged and inhrma as well as
the children. The child, however sorrowfu. its present, looks forward t.
happier days to come; the aged sorrow as those who have no hope.
Mr.. Kelley in speaking of the Christmas ship AMI its message said;
"The real beauty of this is that the message sem to the children
and mothers abroad is left engraven in the hearts of America itself The
the spirit of the ship will keep n sailing and sailing.
THE real thought back of the Christmas snip is OF sc much the
sending OF physical presents but is the establishing in the minds of the
children the horror OF war and the beauty of peace. This ship will be
the greatest peace argument ever known Twenty years from nov the
boys and girls will not have forgotten this ship"

PUBLIC LANDS BEING SETTLED

AS an answer to the impression which seem to exist that all the
in a advance statement from his annual report calls attention to the
fact that since March 4, 1918, settlers have made entry o n nearly
20O00O0 acres of public lands-an area equal to that OF Connecticut,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New Jersey combined. During the
same period practically as much more coal and other mineral land OF
the rest has been examined in detail in forty-acre tracts by the geolog-
ical survey, and most of it has been thrown open to settlement or pr-
chase. Some OF these lands, such as those which include workable de-
posts of phosphate or oil, are still withdrawn pending suitable legisla-
ton for their disposal o use. Another important activity in public land
classification to which the secretary calls attention is the designation
Of lands for entry as enlarged or 32o-acre homesteads. Designations
under this law approved by him cover 35,453O5o acres.
The extract from the secretarys report contains a series Of maps
OF twelve public land taes showing in graphic form CD the areas with
drawn from entry in these states between March, 1913, and July, 1914
ca the areas restored to entry, CD the designations under the enlarged
homestead law, and ca land taken up by settlers. Thus for example
the map OF Montana shows the total area for the state, 100000 acres;
lands withdrawn from entry, 67741 acres; lands restored to entry after
examination, 3H1,55S acres; lands designated under the enlarged-home-
stead law, IL 022S54 acres; and lands entered by settlers, I,4729l acres,
The other states in which public land activities have been large and
which are discussed by the secretary are Utah, Wyoming, Colorado,
New Mexico, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, North Dakota, Arizona, Cal
ifornia and Nevada.

TOBACCO N WAR

Great Briians assurance that it has n 10 intention to declare tobacco
contraband has more than commercial importance. 1t makes for solacc
and comfort and it may promote peace.
AS an rticle that is not contraband may be freely shipped to all
countries, Germans and Ausrians as well as British, French and Rus
slams may supply themselves with Americas choicest weed without fear
of interruption n the high seas. Controlling most of the ocean routes
as it does, Great Britain in this matter is at least humane and
possibly phnanthropc.
What greater cruelty could it inhict upon its armed enemies thar
to deprive them of tobacco? If an American trader appeared in the
North Sea with a cargo of foodstufs, clothing and shoes destined to
Germany, his goods might be seized as conditional contraband, for
there would be a suspicion that they might find their way to the
army. a shipoad Of tobacco however, its freight practically certain to
go straight to the trenches, would be passed by the watchful cruisers

CHAPTER XIV.
Crosslnu the Channel.

 Booth, restless with a vague uneasi- ness that had come over him during the night, keeping him awake until nearly dawn, was hard put during the early hours of the forenoon to find occupation for his interest until a seasonable time arrived for appearing at Southlook. He was unable to ac- count for this feeling of uncertainty and irritation.
 At nine he set out to walk over to Southlook, realizing that he should have to spend an hour in proftless gossip with the lodge keeper before presenting himself at the villa, but somehow relishing the thought that even so he would be nearer to Hetty than If he remained in his own door yard
 Halfway there we was overtaken by Sara s big French machine returning from the village. The car came to a standstill as he stepped aside to lat 1t pass, and Sara herself leaned over and cordially invited him to get in and ride home with her.
 What an early bird you are" he ex claimed as he took his seat beside her
 She was not in a mood for airy per siflage, as he soon discovered.
 Miss Castleton has gone up to town, MT. Booth," she said rather lifelessly. T have just taken her to the station. She caught the eight thirty"
 He was at once solicitous. No bad news, hope?" There was no thought in his mind that her absence was other than temporary.
 She is not coming back, Brandon" She had not addressed him as Bran don before.
 He stared. "You-you mean" The words died on his lips.
 She is not coming back" she re- peated
 An accusing gleam leaped into his eyes.
 What has happened, Mrs. Wran- dall?" he asked
 She was quick to perceive the change in his voice and manner.
 She prefers to live apart from me That is all."
 When was this decision reached?" But yesterday. Soon after she came in from her walk with you
 "Do-do you mean to imply that that had anything to do with her leav- ing your homer" he demanded, with a flush on his cheek.
 She met his look without hinching. It was the beginning"
 "You-you criticised her? You took her to task"
 'I notified her that she was to marry Leslie Wrandall if she marries anyone at all.' she said in a perfectly level tone
 Good Lord Mrs. Wrandall!"
 But she Is not going to marry Les lie"
 T know it-I knew it yesterday" he cried triumphantly. She loves me. Sara. Didn't she say as much to you?"
 Yes Brandon she loves you. But she will not be your wife"
 What is all this mystery? Why cant she be my wife? What is there to prevent"
 She regarded him with dark, inscru.

CHAPTER xIIi.-ContInued.


 Leslie did not turn up at his fathers place in the High street that night until Booth was safely out of the way. He spent a dismal evening at the boat club.
 His father and mother were in the library when he came home at half past ten. From dark corner of the garden he had witnessed Booths early departure. Vivian had gone down to the gate in the low-lying hedge with her visitor. She came in a moment after Leslie's entrance.
 Hello, Les" she said, bending an inquiring eye upon him. Isn't this early for you?"
 Her brother was standing near the fireplace.
 There's a heavy dew falling, Ma. ter he said gruttly. "Shan't touch a match to the kindling?"
 His mother came over to him quick ly. and laid her hand on his arm.
 Your coat is damp" she said anx- iously. Yes, light the fire"
 It's very warm in this room," said MT. Wrsndall, looking up from his book. They were always doing some thing for Leslie's comfort,
 No one seemed to notice him. Les lie knelt and struck match.
 "Well?" said Vivian.
 Well what?" he demanded without looking up.
 His sister took moment for thought. ''Is Hetty coming to stay with us In July?"
 He stood erect, first rubbing his knee to dislodse the dust-then his palms.
 No, she isn't coming" he said. He drew very long breath-the first in several hours-and then expelled 1t yocaliy. She has refused to marry ma"
