Contemptsin Cases of

Are Barred
Statute OF Limitations Prevails
Says Justice Holmes

Washington, May 11-Ending seven
preme court today set aside sentences
imposed by the District of Columbia SUI
preme court upon Samuel Gompers, John
Mitchell and Frank Morrison for con-
tempt of court in alleged violation of in
functions issued in 1907 and 1908 against
boycotting the Bucks Stove and Range
Co. The question of whether the acts Of
the labor leaders constituted contempt
was not passed upon, the court disposing
of the cases by holding that prosecution
was barred by the statute of limitations,
the proceedings having been started
more than three years after the alleged
offences.
Justice Holmes, announcing the de-
cison. said that even if the statute did
not cover contempt, the necessity for
the speedy disposition of such cases was
so great 1t would establish the rule that
by analogy contempt proceedings must
be begun within three years after the
committing of the offence. Justice
Holmes said the controversy turned upon
the question of whether contempt of
court IS crime barred by the statute
of limitations, which provides that no
person shall be prosecuted for an offence
unless by indictment or information
brought within three years
He reviewed the argument that the
statute applied only to cases that could
be proceeded against by Indictment or
information" and explained that the
court had decided these words were con-

within three years. The court rejected
the argument that the offence continued
until the nd of the labor boycott against
the company in 1910. The offence charg-
ed, Justice Holmes said, was not a con-
tinuing conspiracy to boycott, but spe-
eific acts.

snipers they signalled the ship to cease
firing and later an officer boarded the
vessel and caught the five men with
what he reported to be evident marks
of their guilt. He promptly arrested
them and turned them over to Gen.
Funston, who ordered their trial by a
military commission which was sched-

In the line of mourners that follow
ed the artillery caissons bearing the
dead were the chiefs of state and city
government and many distinguished
men of nearly every calling; but ev-
cry eye in the throngs that lined the
way turned first to the carriage where
President Wilson rode, close behind
the last funeral car The President
came from Washington during the
night and was with the procession
from the time it left the Battery until
the squad of marines fired their part
ing volleys over the f1ag-drapped cof-
fins at the Brooklyn navy yard and
the navy bugler sounded the taps
that proclaimed the end of the cere-
mony
On the stand with the President at
the navy yard were mothers, sisters
and widows of the dead sailors and
marines, but in all the throng of
mourners none seemed more deeply
touched by the spirit of the day than
the man whose word sent the lads of
the navy to fight for their countrys
honor at Vera Cruz. And to the
President was left the privilege of
voicing the nations grief and the ma
tons belief that those who died in
the performance of duty had done for
their country's service not to be meas

Mr.. Byrnes testified that ]. Otis
Wardwell of Boston received $4,000
annually for several years and $40, 900
the last year of his employment by
road, to keep the management advised
as to the trend of the financial fight on
the New Haven and to give advice as
to how to effectually resist 1t. He said
that there was no desire or attempt
to keep this under cover The money
was legitimately spent, he said. He
denied that any effort was made by
him to influence legislation, or that
payments for any such purpose were
made through him. Charles III. Innis,
he said, was paid $4,000 annually at
first, and more later for services SIM
liar to those rendered by Mr.. Ward
well.
Mr.. Byrnes testified, further, that
several Boston periodicals had been
paid considerable sums by the New
Haven for advertising. and that va
rious newspaper men and others had
been employed by the road to prepare
publicity matter. In this connection,
1t developed that Mr.. Byrnes' testi-
mony was the same that he gave at
the investigation conducted several
years ago by the Massachusetts, Utili-
ties Commission.
Retaining Mr.. Knowles
Taking up at the opening of the af
ternoon session the question of the
employment of Knowles, Mr.. Folk
asked Mr.. Brynes if he had consult
ed with any other official of the road

$3.50 q month. Knowles duty was to
keep sharp lookout and he Travelled
over the road and made suggestions as
to improvements the company could
make.
The witness was asked If J. Otis
