CHARGE OF
CONTEMPT

Alya Joliff and Kenneth Joliff had
an inning in the county court yester-
day afternoon on charges of contempt
Of court. Becoming obstreperous the
young gentlemen were, by the court,
permitted to sojourn in the county Jail
until this morning at 1O;30 o'clock
when they were again brought before
Judge Davenport for hearing.
The defendants are charged with
having interferred with a little Il
year-oId girl. awarded to the care and
custody of Mr.. and Mrs. James Bray
Mt Verden. It was charged that they
had attempted to entice the little girl
away from the guardian appointed by
the court and that the child had be-
come afraid of the boys to such an
extent that she feared to attend
school. thinking an attempt to abduct
her might be made by the defendants.
AT the hearing yesterday afternoon
the two young men refused to answer
the courts interrogatcries and were
committed to Jail to brood over mat
ters. This morning both were in
little more tractable humor and Judge
Davenport ordered the elder OF the
voung men, Albert, committed to jail
for IS days, holding the order in abey'
=
ence for the present. The younger de
fendant was, by the court, ordered to
recommitment until he should prove

to Europe.
After coming in contact with the
American view point both say that
Americans are deceiving themselves
regarding the feeling of the people of
England and France toward America
and the possibilities for early peace.
Keen says the British regard all
Americans as dollar chasers. They
are convinced that Uncle Sam is will
ing to submit to any insult rather
than relincuish the opportunity of lin
ing his pockets with European gold.
1t was declared that the British arc

cans value the dollar above ideals. He
SAYS they will not listen to peace sug-
