NUMBER 15
Jail Sentences Lifted by Court.
Washington, D. C, May 15.
Setting- aside the sentences of
imprisonment imposed by the
supreme court of the district of
Columbia for the alleged disobedi
ence to the boycott injunction,
the supreme court of the United
States today held that Samuel
Gompers, John Mitchell and
Frank Morrison, president, vice
president nnd secretary, respect
ively, of the American Federation
of Labor, had been erroneously
sentenced to jail on the charge of
contempt of the lower court.
The court unanimously held
that the only sentences that could
be imposed were fines. It found
that the court of appeals of the
district of Columbia and the su
preme court of the district erred
in treating the contempt pro
ceedings as criminal cases in
stead of civil. This made a jail
sentence impossible. To correct
an error the case was sent back
to the local courts with direction
ttlat it be dismissed.
At the same time the court
expressly made.it possible for a
civil proceeding to be instituted
against the Labor men by the
Buck Stove & Range company,
at whose instance the original
contempt case was broughC.
Inasmuch, as all differences be
tween the state and the range
company have been adjudicated,
including the "boycott" case,
out of which the contempt pro
ceedings arose, today's decision,
is probably the last to be heard
in this famous action.
The charge o" contempt against
President Gompers, Vice-presided
t Mitchell and Secretary Mor
rison arose out of a bitter labor
war between organized labor and
the Buck's Stove & Range com
pany, of St. Louis.
Standard Oil Knocked Out.
Washington, May 15. The
Standard Oil company of New
Jersey and its nineteen subsidiar
ies were declared today by the
supreme court of the United
States to be a conspiracy and a
combination in restraint of trade.
It also was held to be monopo
lizing interstate commerce in vio
lation of the Sherman auti-trust
law. The dissolution of the com
bination was ordered to take
place within six months.
Thus ended the tremendous
struggle on the part of the gov
ernment to put down by author
ity of law a combination which it
aiaimctl was a menace to the in
dustrial and economical advance
uiQitt of the entire country.

Court Adjourns.
District court adjourned Wed
nesday morning at ton o'clock,
the court having formerly opened
here the first Monday in the
month. Much business of public
interest has been transacted, but
much was left on the docket, in
a criminal way, which went over
to next term. All civil matters
were disposed of, either by refer
ence, motion or judgment.
Three jury trials have resulted
since last week's issue of this
paper, including the one in which
the 'videncc was then being
taken, and the names of the de
fendants, the crime charged and
the jury's verdict is herewith
given: ,
Juan Chavez, attempt to rape;
verdict of guilty.
Adolfo Sais, assault with in
tent to kill; jury disagreed and
were discharged; case went over.
Robt. J. Wood, drawing and
nourishing deadly weapon; ver
dict guilty.
Summing up the results in the
criminal cases at this term of
court, we have the following:
Simon Sais, assisting prisoner
to escape; 3 months jail sentence.
Jack Gerrard, impersonating
an officer; 4 months in jail.
Casimiro Rameris, burglary;
sentence 4 to 5 years in peniten
tiary. .
Pablo Warner, burglary; sen
tence 3 to 4 years in reformatory.
Juan Chavez, attempt to rape;

Robt. J. Wood, nourishing
a deadly weapon; lined $100 and
sentenced to jail for sixty days,
the jatl sentence to be cut in two
on a favorable report from sheriff.
F. M. Deel, selling liquor with
out license, and violation of Sun
day law; fine and costs $511. 40,
and 'JO day jail sentence; jail sen
tence suspended during good be
havior. Court Expenses.
The expenses of the court just
adjourned were not as heavy as
anticipated. The actual figures
were not obtainable Wednesday
morning upon adjournment, be
cause o? the rush of business at
tending the last few hours of
court, and the fact that a few
bills were still outstanding,
However, District Clerk Downs
estimated that a little less than
$5000.00 had been cxpeuded. j
This sum deducted from the total
in the court fund at the begin
ning of court, leaves remaining
in the fund something over
$3,000.00. Collections in June
and July will increase this bal
ance to about $7,000.00, which in
sures a good fund for a lengthy
term of court in the fall.
