KHAN RESTRAINED
 IN CUSTER PLANS
Milwaukee Man Charges Con-
 spiracy To Injure Him

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 15.- Frederick F. Groello, former district at torney, admitting that he as a member of the Bow-Tie club, obtained an in- junction restraining klan kleagles and members of the reorganized Milwaukee klan from instituting or proceeding with banishment proceedings against him.
 The temporary restraining order was signed by Court Commissioner Julius D. Roehr, and served on some of the klans- men immediately. Mir. Groelle and klan officials refused to disclose the contents of the document. KlAn "regu- lars' are cited to show cause why the injunction should not be made perma- nent.
 He alleges that the conspirators threatened to broadcast and publish the results of this .banishment trial to bring him into public contempt and ridicule and injure him in his business and cause him to be boycotted, all of which, MT. Groelle maintains, is contrary to the laws of the state.

PASSION PLAYERS

 NEARLY BROKE
Have Saved Enough For 1880 Play, Lang
 Says.

NEW YORK, May 15.-As frugal in their choice of steamer accommodations as they have been throughout their tour of the United States, three lead ing characters in the famous Oberam- mergau passioun play have sailed back toward their little mountain village.
 Although $20OO00 was raised on their tour, expenses were so high that they were forced to travel second class.
 Offers to provide luxurious cabins came from many of their friends.
 Reject Charity
 4Charitygs exclaimed Anton Lang, the gentle Christus. No, we are making our own way. We shall sail second elass.
 With Anton Lang and his wife were 3 the xray-Aaired Peter Of the play, An edreas Lang. and the red-beArded Judas, Guido 1fayr. <.
 TAiFty-seven of the players came to Anaeriea Co sell products Of their hafidi- work in order to raise funds to carry on the passion play.

Nor can we live In the meantime on what we have. But we have orders from your American people. who have been so kind to us. That will keep us busys and we hope to get enough money to go on with the play

POWER
 OF PRESIDENT
 IS OVERRIJLED
Chicago Judges Order That Phillip Grossman
 Be Taken In Custody

CHICAGO, May 15.-@-(By Asso- ciated Press. 1.-The right of the President of the United States to pardon in civil contempt case was denied today in an opinion signed by the federal district judges, George A. Carpenter and James A. Wilkerson, in the Phillip Grossman case which was considered before the Daugherty Investigating com mittee.
 The opinion held that Grossman should be taken in custody on sem tence of q year in jail for contempt decreed by former Judge M. K. Landis. Grossman was sentenced for contempt in a prohibition case.
 The two judges gave separate opinions, but concurring in effort.
 Opinions Held Erroner6u~
 The opinions of the Attorney Gs4eral of the United States in 1S41-1S45 and 1852 as to the Presidents power of pardon were declared by Judge Wilker- son to have been based upon an er- roneous assumption that the Presi- dent stood in somewhat similar po- sition toward the United States courts as the king of England toward ths snElish cdurta.
 Ut was well said that the power to 1 tax ia the power to destroy it is just as true that the power to pardon for contempt is the power to destroy judi. lciai authority" said Judge Wilkerson.
 Judicial authority is destroyed and the function of the courts as the guard ians of the Constitution is impaired in just the same way by an act in defiance of the courts prohibition as by the re- fusal to perform an act untl compelled by the courts.
 Court Enforces Own Orders
 Referring to the theory that the President should be vested with author ity to pardon offenses against laws which it is his duty to execute" Judge Carpenter said, ''the executive is not charged with enforcing obedience to the orders of the court, this duty being lodged exclusively with the court itself The President, we are sure would hesi. tate to pardon offenders punished for contempt of the Senate or House of Representatives M
 "Prima facie such pardon power con flicts with the independence of the judicial branch of the government. The assumption of such power by the execu. tive is an usurpation of authority, be- cause of the separation of departments under our organic law.
 People Retain Power
 If by recognizing the judicial branch of the government as independent and supreme within itsfown sphere the peo' pie of this country have created a mon ster kin to that recounted in the Eirankenstein vomanee; nevertheless they have retained in their own hands the weapon with which to destroy it Nineteen times eAas the fundamental law of the land been amended and there is no limit to further amendments save the will of the people,"
 | Leave for stay of execution of com mitment for ten days to afford Gross mans counsel time to arrange an ap' peal to the supremeReourt was denied Judge Wilkerson said when counsel made the request following the decision
 T shall direct the marshal to do what he has already been ordered twice tc do, to take Grossman into custody al I once"
