Today jail sentence against B.
Faisst, a Benton lumber dealer. for
contempt
R r. Adams. editor Of tie benton
View Era in which an article written
by Faisst attacking the supreme court
Tas published, was dismissed with an
admonition. Adams apologized 10 the
court, and said that while Faisst's ar
tfcte appeared in his paper. h. had
not known its contents until after it
was printed.
chief Justice MeCulloch delivered
seathing admonition to Faisst before
he announced the penalty the court
had decided TO impose Justice Nc
eulloch said that the court had hoped
Faisst would have offered some tx
eu7e for the false charge and that
they would have been Withdrawn.
Every citizen has a right, within
certain bounds. 70 criticize the court.
said Justice MeCut1och but here IL
a direct charge against members II
this court of receiving considerations
for their decisions. 1t is the first
time in 60 years that such a charge
has been made This is a tribute o
the people of Arkansas for their re-
spect and belief in the court
THE charges made by this man
either are a result Of diseased mind
or from a person so malignant in
character that he is an enemy of or
ganized society. The judges had in
dulged in the hope that some show
would be made here to withdraw the
charges or to purge the contempt OF
the charge Of eorruptness.
Faisst's answer constituted an at
tack virtually as strong as was con-
tanned in his original article.

es there they should be listed in Pu-

of the entente allies drging that neu-

the grave danger incurred by neutral

gions frequented by belligerent SUD.
Marines Counsellor Polk announced
the department. position, but refused
to discuss the reasons for it.
The claim of the allies that subma-
rines are outlaws, as the note cabled
from London shows, brought up the
question of whether the American
government may be sued for damages
resulting from the call of the German
submarine U-53 at Newport before she
started on her spectacular raid against
commerce The allies may take the
position that Newport was made the
base of operations which officials es-
timated already have caused at least
100000 damage to allied shipping
and trade. This government, how
ever. holds that a warship has right
to enter a neutral harbor and that the
U-53 in no way is attempting to make
Newport base.
