SENTENCE OF YEH l« JUL FDR Sffl'L GDMPEHS Head of Labor Federation, Morrison and Mitchell Are Guilty of Contempt. WASHINGTON. June "4.—Justice Wright of the District supreme court today found Samuel Gompers, Frank Morrison and John Mitchell, of the American Federation of Labor, in con tempt of court for violating an injunc tion Issued against the boycott in the Bucks Stove and Range Company’s case. Gompers was sentenced tn twelve months in jail and Morrison to six months. Mitchell was not sentenced as he was not in court. Counsel for the defendants filed an appeal to the district court of appeals and they were released on bond. Justice Bitterly Denounces Defendants. Justice Wright read a bitter de nunciation of the labor leaders, and declared the American Federation of Labor designedly suppressed the truth of the situation "in its fight against the stove company.” The “unfair” list and the “we don’t patronize” list merely were synonyms of “boycott,” he ruled. Taking up the question of defiance of the respondents to the court’s decree, Justice Wright stated they constituted themselves Into a tribunal to defy the legality of the court's orders, for the purpose of carrying out their own de signs in the campaign in question. He cited the expression “go to with your injunction” in one of Gompers' ut terances to demonstrate the defiance of the labor leaders, and declared Gom pers’ "hostility to the court” and “rev olutionary determination” further emphasized by a speech he made at the Jamestown exposition. Editorials in The Federationist, the decision said, further carried out the design of the officials. These appeared In January and February, 1908. Cites Statements Os Mitchell, Too. Justice Wright also read excerpts frbm speeches and statements from Vice President Mitchell, wherein the latter expressed his attitude toward the court and Injunctions, one statement being. ‘Tf a judge «an enjoin me from ex ercising the right of free speech, I should feel compelled to exercise my constitutional liberty.” The labor men twice were tried. They were adjudged guilty on the first trial, and Gompers was sentenced to a year, Mitchell to nine months and Morrison to six months in jail. The United States supreme court re versed the sentence on the plea that the proceedings had been Improperly insti tuted. The District supreme court im mediately set a toot a new contempt proceedings. Gompers and Morrison were in court and smiled at the bitter words of Jus tice Wright. atlantTmanTosessso FROM POCKET AT TYBEE SAVANNAH, GA., June 24.—C. E.

A record automobile ride and the Pasteur treatment for hydrophobia probably saved the lives today of Miss Julia Ernest and Miss Frances Mc- Geckin. two young women of Dublin. Ga., who were rushed to Atlanta after they had been attacked and bitten by a mad dog. The two girls were at the poin* of collapse from shock and the pain of their wounds when they were hurried from the 9g£iin to the institute after their 160-mile race against death from Dublin, but the institute physicians said they had been given the treatment in time, though not an hour too soon, and both of them were told that they would recover. Miss Frances McGecken, daugh ter of R. B. M'cGecken, an architect, was taking her blooded collie for an airing in Stubbs park at Dublin, when a hound, with a piece of broken rope dangling from his neck, suddenly leaped out from a clump of bushes and sprang upon the collie. Miss McGecken, In a brave effort to protect her pet, sought to drive away the frothing animal with a small whip she carried. The hound jumped upon her and fastened his fangs in her arm. At this moment Miss Ernest, who had been walking with her friend, ran to Miss McGecken’s assistance with a small branch which she had picked up. The Infuriated hound bit her again and againfi mangling her wrist frightfully. Both Victims Near Collapse. The mad dog sprang away into the woods just as Policeman John Tomp kins arrived upon the Scene. Tomp kins took the two young women to their homes and doctors were summoned, for both were already upon the point of collapse. The physicians advised that both victims be sent to the Atlanta Pasteur institute as the only means of saving their lives. They started immediatley for the sta tion at Tennille, 40 miles away, in an automobile, and by pushing the machine to the utmost the chauffeur succeeded in reaching the station there just as the train for Atlanta was pull ing in. The two youTig women were taken into a compartment in the Pull man and friends attended them until they arrived in Atlanta, when they -were taken to the Pasteur laboratory of the state board of health at the capital and given treatment. They will remain here under treatment a week or longer. The dog was shot bv a young son of Sidney Smith, a mile from the scene, an hour after it bit the young r -■men.

National Committee Holds Short Secret Session, Barring Even Newspaper Men-Clark Boost ers Fill Bal ti more—Other Booms Under Way. No Steam Roller, Say Illinois Contestants. BALITMORE. .lune 24.—Because of the hitter partisanship that grew out ot the fifrhl over the recommendation for the tem porary chairmanship <>t the Democratic national convention, the national committee adjourned this afternoon without taking a vote. The adjournment followed the report, of the sub-commit tee on arrangements, recommending Alton B. Parker, of Xew York for the place, and a statement from Committeeman P. L. Hall, ot Nebraska, that if Parker were chosen by the committee William Jennings Bryan would fight the election in the conven tion itself. Hall and Norman E. Mack, chairman of the national committee, were named as a special peace committee to discuss Ihe situation and effect harmony. While the national committee was in session Bryan annoueed that he would lead a fight against Parker on the floor of the con vention. and that if necessary he would become a candidate for the chairmanship himself. Bryan asserted, however, that under no circumstances would he go before the national committee and lead the tight there. Mr. Bryan said: “I will not under any circum stances go before the national committee and lead the fight for anything, and I will not take the ,cause which 1 represent before the national committee. If the issue becomes so involved as to make it necessary, I wijl fight on the floor of the convention, not before the national committee. If it becomes necessary in order to defeat the reactionaries as repre sented by Mr. Parker. I will my self become a candidate for the temporary chairmanship. I do not believe it will be necessary, and if 1 do take such a step it will be only because it is neces sary.” "If no other progressive ran be found to lead the fight I will become the can didate myself," Bryan continued. "This fight on the temporary chairmanship will be carried to the floor of the con vention. If they want a light, there will be no compromise." Western Progressives Behind Bryan. The first announcement of the Ne braskan's Intention to enter the lists came from Delegate G. S. Gillan, of St. Paul. Nebr. Gillan asserted that the progreslsves of the West were bax-king Bryan in Ills anti-Parker fight. He said that they believed that Bryan would master sufficient strength on the floor to beat the New Yorker. The announcement came as a sur prise In political circles. It was gene rail' expected that the Bryan heavy artillery would he wheeled Into line first to bombard the national commit tee. II was rumored before the com mittee went into session that Bryan might sit in the meetings, himself on the plow <>n tile committee. The fight will be carried to the floor, and it Is now generally believed here will be the case that will give the first test of the progressive strength in the convention. The Democratic national committee went Into session at 12:10 o'clock. The chairmanship was taken up. The first ease came when the sub-committee on arrangements reported its decision that Alton B. Parker be named temporary chairman. The second struggle was the hearing of the 79 contests over delegate seats. Newspaper Men Barred From Meeting. The committee went Into executive session at 12:12 o’clock. Chairman Mack said that the representatives of the news associations would not be permitted to remain and cleared the room of all others save actual com mittee members. William .1. Bryan did not appear with a proxy, as, had been suggested, and tils non-appearance was taken as an indication that he had found it hope less to make a committee light and would go straight to the convention with stir h fight as he may elect to make. Senator B. R. Tillman of South < aro lina said as he came to the session: ■ I had a talk with Mr. Bryan just now and he seems to think that they WHAN 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE £ a o y r E no have brought the steam roller over from Chicago." It was learned that Mr. Bryan had agreed to tnake the race for chairman himself if such a course seemed neces sary to the opponents of Parker. Immediately after the committee had ordered excluded all persons, including even press association men. an excited fight, witfi strong debate, began on the temporary chairmanship matter. After an hour. Sergeant-at-Arms Martin came out and sent a message for Congressman Talbot, Maryland member of the committee. Evidently votes were needed inside on some ques tion. Voices of the oommltteemen could be heard from the corridor as they heatedly debated the Parker proposi tion. That the fight was bitter was nm.de known by din of oratory.. Vote on Chairman Is Deferred. At 12:44 the Democratic national committee took a recess of fifteen min utes. When the committee took a recess it was reported that the name« of both Parker and Bryan had been presented. While the committee was behind locked doors, three man named at a caucus of the Pennsylvania, delegation tried to get to their committeeman with this resolution: "Resolved. That the member of the national committee for Pennsylvania be instructed to oppose the selection of A. B. Parker as temporary chairman of the convention.” This resolution was passed by a vote of 59 to 6. P. L. Hall, a member of the com mittee from Nebraska, it was learned, served notice on the committee that the name of W. J. Bryan would not be placed before the committee, but would go to ♦ .convent lon proper. Vote on the chairmanship was de ferred on motion of Mr. Daniels until after the contests. Hall and Ma<k were namefl a - •» committee to make peace In two hours and report. Meanwhile. Chairman Mack and P 1,.
