BARRETT TODAY
Large Crowd at Federal Court
This Morning When Cases of
Contempt Were Considered.
MR. BARRETT SAID HE
MEANT NO DISRESPECT
Stated He Though He Was
Showing Y,espect by Not Hav
ing Trouble on U. S. Property.
In the United States court room this
morning Judge Speer fined Messrs.
Frank Barrett and Charles Reid SIOO
and SSO, respectively, for contempt.
These two gentlemen will also have to
pay the costs of the court.
The case grew out of the difficulty
which Mr. Barrett had yesterday witii
Mr. Wallace Pierce, one of the coun
sel for the plaintiff in the case of
Banks vs. Barrett and Doughty. Af
ter the penalties had been named, Mr.
Barrett and” Mr. Reid, with their coun
sel, thanked the court for the lqnlency
shown.
Before the dial of the clock pointed
to the hour of ten the court room was
crowded. The interest In the case
was so great that many more than
the capacity of the court room allowed
were in the corridors anxious to hear
the decision of Judge Speer.
After court was opened Assistant
United States Attorney Arthur H.
Codington, read the charges against
Messrs. Barrett and Reid. They were
substantially to the effect that Mr.
Barrett had attacked Mr. Pierce for
alleged insulting remarks made by
Mr. Pierce in the court room, and that
Mr. Reid had stood by and witnessed
tine difficulty and not allowed any one
to separate the combatants. Both
acts were construed by the govern
ment’s counsel as contempt of court.
Mr. W. 11. Fleming, one of the at
torneys for Mr. Barrett and Mr. Reid,
read Mr. Barrett’s answer. It stated
simply that the defendant was aveng
ing what he considered an insult and
that he had no Intention oUbeing dis
respectful to the court.
Mr. Pierce’s Statement.
The first witness for the govern
ment was Mr. Wallace Pierce. Mr.
Pierce said that after he had made
his closing address for the plaintiff
yesterday, he walked out of the court
room and downstairs into the lobby
of the postpffiee; that while standing
there he was accosted by Mr. Barrett,
who stated that he wished to see him
privately. He said that he accom
panied Mr. Barrett down the steps of
the postoffice into the street, and they
walked over lo the opposite side of
the street. The witness said that Mr.
Barrett asked him what he meant by
the remarks that he used in the court
room concerning him (Barrett); and
that he informed Mr. Barrett that, his
words were plain and unmistakable.
Witness then said that Mr. Barrett
requested him to remove his eye
glasses, as he was going to hjt him,
and that as quickly as he removed the
glasses .Mr. Barrett did hit him and
finally threw him down and made an
efort to choke him.
Mr. Pierce disclaimed any Intention
of insulting Mr. Barrett in his address
to the jury and said that he was only
doing what he considered his duty to
his client. Mr. Pierce also stated that
he tried to avoid the difficulty.
Bailiff Clayton, of the United States
court, wgs the next witness, and he
said that he viewed the fight from
the mqrshal’s office on the second
floor of the government building. He
said that ho saw Mr. Charlie Reid
standing near where the two men
wore struggling on the ground and
that Mr. Reid made a motion with his
hands as if to prevent any interfer
ence from bystanders.
Mr. Cohen on the Stand.
Mr. C. Henry Cohen was then call
ed. Mr. Cohen stated that he was the
bearer of a message from Judge Speer
to Mr. Barrett not to have any trou
ble with Mr. Pierce. Mr. Cohen said
that he told Mr. Barrett what Judge
Speer said Just, outside of the court
room and that Mr. Barrett was very
much excited at the time. While con
versing with Mr. Barrett Mr. Cohen
was called by the marshal to attend
to a matter not concerning the affair
at issue and that tut he left Mr. Bar
rett he said: "Do not have any trou
ble around here anyway.” Mr. Cohen
said that he did not. know what con
struction Mr. Barrett might have
placed on his final Injunction. He
didn’t know whether Mr. Ba/rett,
would take it to mean that, the judge
had ordered ne trouble to occur on
the premises of the government or
anywhere else.
Mr. Beddings Jowltt, one of the
jurors in the case of Banks vs. Bar
rett and Doughty, stated that he vie *
ed a portion of the flgjit from the Jury
room and that other Jurore also saw
It. The defense attempted at. this
juncture to prove by the witness that
the verdict had already been reached
and signed, and Mr. Jowitt did state
that a verdict had been reached, but
Judge Speer held that it mattered not
whether an agreement had been reach
led or not, for the case was still in
the bands of the court as the jury
had not reported to the court. Judge
Speer said that, until the case was
finally disposed of either by a verdict
for one party or another or one party

the Lancashire cotton mills had been
having "hard sledding" as well as
those in the United Slates. The eon

In his annual address Preside; I
Hobbs said:
Troublous Times.
"Last September 1 remarked that Ihe
cotton manufacturing industry had
been in troublous limes since wo met
in April last and 1 regret to ho com
polled lo stale Ihnl the troublous limes
have continued. Tho cotton crop has
meen a disappointment, curtailment
has continued and a most iinsiitlsfiic
lory eoirdil lon Ims resulted. Buying
Is on a hand-to-mouth basis. Added
to pedplexlng business condition has
been the upset political situation and
Iho uncertainly due to expected de
cisions of the supreme court which
will have fur reaching effects. With
these two factors removed, we shall
know where we si and and bo prepared
to go forward.
Misery Likes Company.
"Misery likes company and It may
interest, you lo know that for the year
ending November 30, 1910, seventy
three concerns In Lancashire, with a
total paid up capital stock of $12,800,-
000 and an added loan capital of $5,-
400,000 showed a loss of $1,315,000

sumption of cotton Is steadily Increas
ing each year and it seems equally
Into that, this Increase in consump
tion will continue.

Willi Increases of machinery that
have been made, it is evident that tho
consumption of the mills of the world
on full tlmo would ho not loss than
20,000,000 bales.
"The query thus arises; Where will
tho additional amount of eotlon need
ed for the world and Uh Increasing
population nomo from? I think I am
not too optimistic lo believe that from
iho present acreage the American pro
duction could be doubled If proper
methods were used, and It Is along
such lines that our friends In the
