FREEDOM OF
PRESS ISSUE
At CLEVELAND
Appeal on Contempt Case
to Be Heard Next
Month.
BY HAROLD E. RICHTER
United Pres stan Correspondent


CLEVELAND, Aug. 12.-Another
question in the very old puzzle of
Just how much of the constitutional
freedom is enjoyed by the Ameri-
can press, will be answered in the
Cuayhoga county court of appeals
here next month.
At that time the appeal of two
executives of the Cleveland Press
is scheduled to be heard. Louis B.
Settler. editor, and Carlton K. Mat
son. chief editorial writer, we're
Judged guilty recently Of contempt
of court by Common Pleas Judge
Frederick P. Walther. They were
fined $500 each and sentenced each
10 thirty days in Jail. They we're
then released under bond Of $1,000
each pending their appeal.
Judge Walther said from the
bench that the newspaper men we're
guilty of contempt Of his court be-
cause they printed an editorial critl-
cising him for issuing an injunction
against the sheriff of Cuyahoga
county enjoining him from Interior
ing with the contribution system OF
betting on race horses at the This
tledown track.
Newton D. Baker Is Counsel
Newton D. Baker, former secre-
tsrv of the navy, is chief counsel
for the newspaper men. He told
Judge Walther he had never heard
Of such an injunction as the one
issued against the sheriff ito en-
ioin him from carrying out his
sworn duty"
Baker pleaded, and will continue
m plead, he says, for freedom OF
the press and the right Of news
papers to criticise any and all pup
lie officials just as long as Such
criticism does not stand in the way
Of Justice itself.
The Injunction used the phrase
slf il be not in violation OF the
laws of Ohio in licensing the con-
tribution system to carry on at the
track.
Baker argued that this phrase
made il no injunction at all ana
that Furthermore contempt can not
he charged unless the criticism Is
made of the court while a certain
case is pending.
Vigorous Criticism
Vigorous editorial criticism which
in MANY cases amounted to severe
condemnation of the judges action
in sentencing the men, cropped OUT
slI over the country. The Anlerl-
can Civil Liberties Union wired an
offer to help defend the edltorS.
Metropolitan newspapers were al
most unanimous in their criticism
of the Judge. One newspaper close
IN the scene. called the judges in
junction order q 'Weazel-Woroeo
writ" Another said: Judge Wal
theirs decision stands out because
II Is not only contrary to law but
like the order that gave rise 10 IT,
* a judicial absurdity."
Walther sat on the bench and
nassed Judgment in the case OF the
EDITORS after citing them for con-
tempt of his own court. TINS also
was criticised freely.

Bibey's wife and relatives, how

law promotes factionalism, bitter
ness and strife"
Our answer to these claims" say

GIFTS SHIFTED
By Senate on Nicaraguan
Policy; Coolidge Hurt

Washington.-The power of the
Coolidge administration was success
fully applied on the senate to secure
a reversal of it's reputation of the
presidents policy in holding marines
in Nicaragua.
The repudiation was unexpected
and was the first time opponents of
the policy commanded sufficient
strength to make their will felt by
blocking appropriations to maintain
American forces in Latin America. .
Senator Norris, a leading critic of
the policy, declared that continued oc-
cupation after the supervised election
in Nicaragua is "inexcusable" and
"indefensible." The senate sustained
this position by vote of 38 to 80.
This action startled the administra-
tion and President Coolidge was re-
ported to have sent word to the capt.
tol that he considered the decision a
reflection on his foreign policy.
The administration rallied their
forces the next day and forced another
vote on the amendment which would
prohibit use of any navy department
funds for the maintenance of marines
in Nicaragua. Two republicans and
five democrats changed their votes on
the withdrawal issue, and this, to-
gether with the rounding up of II alb
sentees, gave the administration a
majority Of 46 to 80 against the
amendment.

RURAL STUDENTS
TO BE EXAMINED
Redwood County Health Asso-
citation Meets Preparatory to
Physical Examination

At a meeting of the Redwood
County Minnesota Public Health
Association held last Thursday at
Walnut Grove at the home of Mrs. E.
Jameson, plans were made for the
medical examination of rural school
children this year. DR.. Richfeld of
Minneapolis, child specialist, will be
in Redwood County September 9th
to 18th inclusive to examine the chill
dren in a number of rural districts.
Examining of the children will
start Monday, September 9th and will
include the pupils of Districts sc and
"a with the examinations held in the
morning at District 86. In the af-
ternoon the specialist will be at Dis
trict No. 80 and the pupils of this
district and District No. 1O5 will be
included. Tuesday morning examin-
ations will include the pupils of Dis
tricts No. 70, 80 and 109 at District
73 and in the afternoon for those of
Districts No. S3 and 92 at District No.

clude pupils of Districts No. 6 East,
6 West, 9 and 100 in the morning
session at District East and the at
ternoon session for pupils of District
6 North at their school house.
This is the first year that the rural
children will have had the opportu-
nifty to receive medical attention and
this is only made possible through
the sale of Christmas Seals each
year. The chest clinics and ortho-
pedic clinics heretofore held have
also been sponsored by the Minneso-
ia Public Health Association.
If the work proves satisfactory and
the parents of the children who re-
ceive the physical examinations are
interested it is probable that school
nurse will check over the serious cas-
es next spring as a follow up Of the
work.

ton are, Mrs. E. Jameson of Wal
nut Grove, Chairman; DR.. Ranseen,
Lamberton, vice chairman; Mrs. j.
