NO TRIAL BY JURY
Nv CONTEMPT CASES
When Persons are Charged with Viola
tion of Orders of the
Court.

Boston. Oct. l9.-The surpeme court
to-day declared unconstitutional the
law which provided for trial by jury
of persons charged with contempt for
violating an order of the courts.
The question was raised in the case
of the Walton Lunch company against
John J. Kearney and other local Off
GERS and members of the hotel and
restaurant international alliance. The
company obtained an injunction en-
joining the defendants from picketing
its restaurants and from interfering
with its business. When the union
leaders subsequently were brought be-
fore the supreme court in contempt
proceedings they claimed that under
chapter 339 of the statute of l9ll they
were entitled to a trial by jury. Judge
Carroll. who was presiding, reserved
the matter for the fun court. saving:
Il do not believe il is constitutional
for the legislature to step in and say
that this court or any other court of
this state cannot carry out its or
ders."
The full courts opinion, rendered by
Chief Justice Rugg. says: Trial by
Jury of the question whether con
tempt of court had been committed
would be serious limitation of the
power of the court. IL has
been 50 held whenever the point has
arisen

Calling attention to an official de.

flee yesterday, the French charge told
Under Secretary of State Davis that
he was assured that the French gov
ernment had delegated no spokesman
to act for it in negotiations with Sena-
tor Harding either formally or infor-
mally, officially or unoffieially"
Announcement of the visit of the
charge to the state department yester-
day afternoon was made to-day by Mr..
Davis, who said that while Count De-
Bearn had delivered no formal reply
TO the American note of inquiry to the
French government, dispatched yester-
day, he supposed that the assurances
given by the charge were the result of
previous communications with his gov

ment that the United States govern
ment had never had any intimation
of desire by the French government
to "scrap" the present league of ma

Relative to Alleged French
Overtures for "Associa-
tion of Nations"
COX ALSO AMAZED AT
PEOPLES DULLNESS
In Failing to make Out
the Man From Marion"
Spoke at Worcester

WorcesUr, Mass, Oct. l9,--Senator
Harding's explanation regarding his
remarks relative to the alleged French
overtures for "a new association of
nations was ridiculed here to-day by
Governor Cox of Ohio in an address to
large station crowd
Senator Harding is having lot
of trouble, occasioned by his own
words" said Governor Cox. II think
the gentleman consulted was not a
diplomat or a statesman. Here we
have a great international question
and the gentleman consulted by Sen
ator Harding was the funny man, the
humorist of France"
Governor Cox apparently referred to
Maurice Dekobera, a French author,
whom the governor mentioned in his
Buffalo address last night. Referring
to Senator Harding's statement in to-
days papers, the governor said; It's
how stupid the American peo
pie are. They just can't make out the
man from Marion"
The governor also repeated his stand
on the league of nations and said that
if elected he would personally take up
the question of Ireland before the bar
of public opinion in the world, char
scterizing the present conditions in
Ireland as war of determination.

NOW THINK DREWES
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
Authorities and Relatives Said to En-
terrain Theory Regarding the
Death of Dartmouth
Senior.

Philadelphia, Oct. l9.-The authori
ties and the relatives of Elmer c.
Drewes, the Dartmouth senior, whose
body, with bullet wound in the fore
head, was found Sunday morning on
the outskirts of this city, expressed
the belief to-day that he was shot ac-
cidentally, probably by friend or ac-
quaintance.
No motive has been discovered. Rob
berry, the police say, did not enter into
the case, because nearly 81 900 in cash
and Liberty bonds, which Drewes car
ried in pocket, was found untouched,
1t is believed that at least two per
sons were implicated in the killing,
and some of the authorities advanced
the theory that one of them was a
woman. They professed to see a WON
ans hand in the manner in which the
body was placed in the grass along the
roadside. The hands were folded across
the chest, light overcoat was drawn
neatly over the legs and a soft hat
was pulled down over the head to con-
ceal the wound.
Report from detective sent to New
York to interview Charles Schloss,
friend of Drewes', was awaited by the
police. Before leaving his home here
Saturday, Drewes told his father, that
he had spent part of the day with
Sehloss in Atlantic City and the au-
thorites hope that he may be able to
give them some information regarding
Drewes' plans Saturday night.

LURED BY WOH4N
Is POLICE THEORY
In Connection With Death of David S.
Paul, Camden, N. j., Bank
Messenger.

Camden. n, j., Oct. ia theory
that David S. Paul, the Camden bank
messenger, was lured to death by n
woman was entertained by the police
to-day.
This theory, the police claim, is
partly substantiated by the finding in
his clothes of an unsigned letter ap-
parently written by woman who was
infatuated with him Several women
are under surveillance.
Paul, according to the authorities,
was convicted while employed as
letter carrier 20 years ago of stealing
from the mails, and a woman was the
cause.
Prosecutor WolvertOn stated that
Paul carried $4,000 in cash and $30,-
600 in checks when he disappeared and
that all the checks had been found in
his clothing, when his body was dis.
covered buried in the Jersey pines.
The money was missing.
