BILL WOULD HAVE
Jury HEARING IN
CONTEMPT CASES
Idea Calculated TO Curb
Federal Judges Alleged
Tyrannyrs
By LOWELL NIELLETT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.AJury trial
is the remedy for the tendency Of Fed
eral judges to exceed their proper
powers under the present contempt
of court law. according to Senator
Kenneth D. Mcclellan of Tennessee,
author of a bill providing this cure.
He hopes to get action in the present
session of Congress.
McKellar would not restrict the
power of Federal judges to punish
for contempt committed in the court
room or within the hearing Of the
judge on the bench. But this, in his
opinion, is as far as a judge should
go without being upheld by jury.
The Senator fears a growing as
sumption by judges of the power
to stifie criticism outside the court
as well as within. Two Supreme Court
decisions he has in mind are those
UNFOLDING the actions of Judge Killits
in Toledo. and Judge Mayer in New
York. In each case the judge in
f1icted a penalty for criticism appear
ing in a newspaper. The alleged con-
tempt, in each instance, was clearly
outside the presence OF the court and,
Mcclellan believes. properly calls for
jury trial.
The dignity and orderly proceed
ings Of the court must at all times be
maintained" said the Senator. but
when the court uses the power to
punish for contempt to enforce pre-
liminary orders without trial on the
merits and without hearing both sides,
il seems to me well enough that the
court in such cases should be backed
up by the findings of a jury. Such
a course would make Tor the more
orderly administration Of justice in
our courts. 1t would square with the
American idea Of justice and with
the American Constitution, guarantee
ing the sacred right OF trial by jury.

Now it happens that man lives on
a f1fth-rate satellite to a tenth-rate
sun in a forgotten little book of a neg
ligible solar system, way. way OF, in
a distant corner Of the vast heavens.
Keep this simple little fact well
in mind. for 1t will make all the rest
quite simple"
This f1fth-rate satellite" Van Loon
continued is subject, like everything
else. to the eternal laws of the uni
verse.
These laws go their own sweet
way.
Sometimes they allow themselves
to be discovered after herculean eff
forts on the part of the puny little
mortals who crawl around on this
tiny planet. But they refuse to re-
veal more than an inflnitesimaI frac-
ton of their true character.
This obliges US to sail the I'M
charted ocean of Misunderstood reali-
ties with a broken down compass and

Man is faced by the fact of the
year Of grace, 1923.
He tries. after the nature of the
beast. TO solve these facts with the
help Of his fancy. which is the prod
uct Of half a million years of erroneous
reasoning, complicated by every va
riety of prejudice and hobby and fac
and bias inherited from countless gen
erations Of ancestors.
In short, the human race lives in
an edifioe OF fancy which was con
structed for the greater part in the
outgoing middle ages and which is en-
tirely surrounded by facts which are
of and by and for the present day.
Just now this planet is wheeling

Cliques Formed During 1923 and
Caused Team to Slip.

Those on the inside say the failure
of the White Sox to finish better than
seventh in the American League dur
ing 1923 was due to clicues on the
ball club.
Several of the players are alleged
TO have suffered from the belief they
were being Disseminated against, and
as a result did not give their best eff
forts. Among the disgruntled athletes
was mentioned a clever outfeIger and
a capable pitcher.
Under Frank Chance. who rules

The feeling here is becoming one
of anxious bewilderment. Europe Is
compared to a stage, plunged in
darkness. Now and then, as in
flash of lightning. or the blaze of a
pistol, sinister figures are seen for
second, swiftly moving about as in
some gruesome play. Who's who or
what nobody knows for certain, but
everyone is sitting tight, holding on
to his seat, waiting for the light.
When it does come. they fear. it
