TI 3I0RNIXG OR EGOXIAX, SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1908. GOMPERS DEFIES ORDER OF COUR T Calls It Invasion of Liberty Press and Right of Speech. of OBEYS INJUNCTION, THOUGH Name of Buck Slove & Range Co. Is Removed lYom "Unfair" JAnt. Avers Intention of Taking the Case to the Supreme Court. WASHINGTON. Jan. 24. Although en joined from making any reference to the controversy between the American Fed eration of Labor and the Buck Stove & Range Company, President Samuel Gom pers In an editorial In the current Issue of the American Federatlonlst comments on Justice Gould's recent decision at length, and declares a purpose not to comply with al.1 its terms. He says: It is an Invasion of the liberty of the prss and the riftht of free oeech. We would be recreant to our duty did we not do all In our power to point out to the people the serious Invasion of their liberties which" has taken place. That this has been done by Judge-made Injunction and not by stat ute law makes the menace all the greater. The matter of attempting: to suppress the boycott of the Buck Stove & Range Com pany by Injunction, while Important, yet pales Into insignificance before this In vasion and denial of Constitutional rights. We dlscu5s this Injunction and feel obliged, as a matter of conscience and principle, to protest against Its Issuance and Its enforce ment, yet we desire to be clearly understood that the editor of the American Kederatlon lst does not consider himself thereby violat ing any law of either state or Nation, nor does he intend or advise any disrespect toward the courts of our country. And yet Inherent, natural and ('(institutional rights and guarantees must be defended and main tained. Mr. Gompers states that the services of some of the foremost lawyers in the country have been secured, and that the case will be carried to the United States Supreme Court. The action against the Federation of Tabor and its officials was brought in the Supreme Court of the District of Co lumbia on the ground that the publlca ' tlon of the stove company In the "We don't patronize" list in the American Fed eratlonist was In the nature of a boycott. Justice Gould's order has been complied with In this respect by dropping the stove company from the list. WOULD GIVE MITCHELL MONEY Moremcnt on Foot to Raise Sum by Per Capita Tax. INDIANAPOLIS.

SAD JIT TIMES WRITES IETTETt TO FRIEND IN CtRIPPUE CREEK. ': Says He Never Regrets Telling Truth About Bark Deeds of the Federa tion and Conscience Is Clear. CRIPPLE CREEK. Cplo.. Jan. 14. D. C. Scott, of this city, received a let ter to'Say from Albert E. Horsley, alias Harry Orchard, written In prison at Bolae, where he Is awaiting, trial for the murder ot. ' ex-Governor Steunen bergr, which he has confessed.' Orchard was the principal witness at tle trials of William D. Haywood, secretary treasurer of the Western Federation of Miners and George A. Pettibone. a former member of the executive board. on the charge of complicity in the J Steunenberg; murder, which 'resulted in their acquittals. The letter in part is s follows: "I am trying to kesp up as well as I can, but feu very sad at times. But never once have I regretted that I have told the truth and "made a clean breast of my crimes, and would not go back on one thing, if by so doing I would save my life and have my lib erty. I know that I have been released from greater bonds . than those that now bind me. But if I only looked at it from a worldly standpoint, it would then look like the man that done right when he was convinced he was wrong got the worst of it- I do feel very kindly to those of you who seem to appreciate what I have done to bring many of the dark deeds to light, as I feel that society will be in a better position to protect themselves and even though the real men responsi ble go clear, perhaps wo have done much good. I know I have got a clear conscience now, as I know I can look up to my God and sincerely say I have made all the earthly restitution with in my power." CZAR'S FAMILY IS SICK Epidemic of Influenza Comes With Christmas Tree. ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 24. An epi demic of influenza has attacked the Im perial family. Grand Duke Alexis Tiko laievitch. the Emperor's only son, and his four sisters all have been stricken. The condition of the heir-apparent ts com plicated by an Inflammation of the ear. . Grand .

PETERSBURG, Jan. 24. The con flict between the Emperor and the'Douma over the naval programme which en tails an expenditure of $500,000,000 is stead ily developing In a direction, unfavorable to the realization of the Emperor's am bition. The scheme, which M. Kokovs off. the minister of finance, privately declared spelled ruin to Russian finances, has met opposition in unexpected quar ters. At a meeting held last week of the council of Imperial defense, under the presidency of Grand Duke Nicholas Nich olaievitch, representatives of the army operated a regular campaign against the programme. The Grand Duke himself declared that in his opinion the navy was anarchistic and a hotbed of mu tinies, unworthy to be entrusted with such enormous sums for new construc tion. The cabinet, which almost unanimously opposes the naval programme, has pri vately passed the hint among the Con servatives In the Douma, encouraging the fullest discussion against- the programme in order to influence the Bmperor, whose mind hitherto has appeared to be set in its fulfillment. - A brother of Premier Stolypln in an article in the Novoe Vremya. bitterly arraigns the lethargy of the admiralty and declares that 140,000,000 now included In the yearly budget of the navy is thrown to waste. It would be much better, he says, to abolish the fleet altogether, de voting this sum to other uses. He ac cuses the admiralty of putting lorward a programme involving great expenditures without possessing the vaguest idea of up-to-date naval design and construc tion technique. The Emperor is preparing a discourse in favor of the - programme which- he will deliver before an audience of Octoberlsts early in February. Count -waroff, one of the Octoberist leaders. In an inter view says that his party has been given to understand that the Douma will be dissolved if the programme is rejected; nevertheless he believes that a majority of the Octoberlsts are determined to vote against the government.

DISCIPLINE FOR DAHLMAN Thrown Out for Talking Politics at Waterways Congress. SIOUX CITT, la., Jan. 24. Mayor Dahl man, of Omaha, was led from the hall by the sergeant-at-arms of the Waterways Congress at its final session Thursday evening at the request of Governor Burke, of North Dakota, who was acting chair man. Mr. Dahlman rose in his seat to talk on the motion to adopt the report of the committee on organization. His at titude was unsatisfactory to several prominent delegates, w.io declared he was out of order because he was trying to inject politics Into the congres. There were several cries of "Put him out!" The chairman finally called the sergeant-at-arms, who led the irate Mayor from the hall. The Mayor's declaration that "You'll have to go down to Washington and see 'Uncle Joe' Cannon and Allison about that report' started the trouble. "Sit down!" shouted a delegate. "No, IH not sit down," retorted the Mayor. "I'll tell you what I think." "He's out of order," some one else yelled. This cross-fire was about to precipitate more trouble, when the chairman ruled Mr. Dahlman out of order. The Mayor refused to accept the ruling and held his ground. Mr. Burke called for the sergeant-at-arms, who took the Mayor by the arm, pushing him Into the aisle. After some argument Mr. Dahlman left the floor in company with the serjeant-at-arms, and remained in the rear of the hall. -Paying Back the Treasury. NEW YORK, Jan. 24.
