GANNON TO RETIRE
I riFTHWASHuVKT0'SIXTrT STREETS;
Churchmen . Orerlook Fact That
Hardest Blow to Prohibition
Legislation Was Dealt by
Lawyers In Senate.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Sept. -Because Cone ha
thus far failed to pass the "ttat"
liquor shipment bill." the Methodist
Episcopal Church has u""ten
prevent the re-election of "Uncle Joe
CMnon'M Speaker of the House of
Ra.npre.entatlve. The Speak" la evi
dently held solely respons ble for the
virtual defeat of this- eKl8llnK.i,eve
Methodist brethren apparently believe
that w.th a friendly Speaker Presiding
over the House of Representatives the
Interstate liquor bill will pass and be-
CThemosT.evere blow dealt the liquor
bill in question was. however, delivered
not by the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, but by the Senate
committee on Judiciary. That commit
tee after a most exhaustive hearing,
which covered several months of the
past session, reached the conclusion
that the liquor bill. In the form advo
cated by the Methodist Church. Is un
constitutional, and a report to thai
effect was submitted to the Senate by
Senator Knox on April IS. last. This
report virtually killed the bill. o far
as the Sixtieth Congress Is concerned.
The House of Representatives haa never
acted upon the bill, nor has Its commit
tee so that the position of the House
and of the Speaker Is really less ad
vanced than the position taken by the
Senate commit cee on Judiciary.
Even if the Speaker should advocate
the rsage of the bill, and even If
the House committee should favorably
report, and the House itself pass the
bill. It could not pass, for the death
blow was administered by the Senate
committee, and that committee stands
ready to kill any bill of similar char
acter that may be sent over by the
House.
Seven Bills Introdnced.
During the past session of Congress
seven bills of this general type were
Introduced In the Senate and two In
the House. The bills, differing some
what in detail and phraseology, were,
of almost Identical character and effect.
Senate bills were Introduced by Clay,
Georgia: Tillman. South Carolina: Dol
liver, Iowa; Frasler, Tennessee: Hans
brough. North Dakota; Bacon, Georgia,
and Overman. North Carolina. The
House bills were Introduced by Repre
sentative L.tttlefleld, of Maine, and
Representative Brantley, of Georgia.
It Is possibly true, as charged by the
Methodists, that Speaker Cannon is re
sponsible for the failure of the House
committee on Judiciary to make report
on the Littlefleld and Brantley bills;
Indeed, it Is more likely that the blama
rests largely on the Speaker, for the
committee on Judiciary, as now consti
tuted. Is wholly under the thumb of Mr.
Cannon, and does his every bidding.
More Important legislation was killed
in that committee last session than In
any other committee In the House.
The assumption of the Methodist min
isters Is further Justified by the known
fact that Speaker Cannon personally
believed the liquor bill to be unconsti
tutional. The Senate substitute, drawn by Sen
ator Knox, provided that common car
riers should not act as the agents of
vendors of liquors In states where the
sale of liquor Is prohibited, and
further required that all Interstate
shipments of liquors be plainly marked
as to their contents, both character
and quantity, in order that the state
authorities might know whenever
liquor was shipped in, and to whom
consigned. It would then be up to the
state authorities to prevent violation ot
their laws after the liquor reached the
consignee.
Think States Too Slow.
There was oe thing, more than all
else, that prejudiced many members of
the Senate committee against the rigid
liquor bill; that was the fact that so
called prohibition states had not gone
as far as thry might have gone In
their efforts to stamp out the liquor
habit within their boundaries. Many
states had prohibited the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquors with
in their borders, but no state has ever
undertaken to specifically prohibit the
use of liquors within its jurisdiction.
The opinion of a majority of the Sen
ate committee was voiced by Senator
Knox, who said: "When the states
cease to recognise the use of liquors as
lawful It will be time to consider our
duty to deny them the privilege of
interstate commerce, as has been done
In the case of lotteries."
But In reality the objection of the
Senate committee to the Interstate
liquor shipment bill Is based upon con
stitutional grounds. A majority be
lieves such legislation unconstitutional,
aa It Is contended the National Gov
ernment cannot delegate to a state Its
power to regulate Interstate com
merce. Lawyers Do Xot Agree.
That there is serious' doubt as to
whether or not the pending measure
would be adjudged constitutional Is
evident from the division of sentiment
among the big lawyers of Congress.
Even the Methodist Episcopal Church
authorities realise the doubt, but they
want to have a court decision; they
are willing to take the chance. They
fear they will never get a decision as
long as Cannon remains Speaker; there
fore they want a new Speaker.
The chances are that It this bill ever
gets Into the House of Representatives
It will pass, for the Interests that
forced Congress to abolish the army
canteen have little difficulty In terror
ising the average Congresssman,
though Speaker Cannon no longer fears
them. Should the bill pass the House
It would strike the real stumbling
block In the Senate, and the Methodist
brethren now seeking to depose Speak
er Cannon would realize that their
trouble had just begun.

NEW YORK. Sept S. Chairman

the result of tho primaries held In
Greater New York yesterday, said:
"The mag-nitude of the opposition

he would be willing to make the race for
Governor of the State of New York at the
approaching election, and said In so many
words that ha was not so inclined. Judge
Parker said:
"I am not willing to run for Governor

Court Orders Testimony to Be

GOMPERS ASKS FOR JURY
Leaders of Labor Federation Deny
Disrespect to Court and Assert
Right to Criticise Decisions
on Principle.
WASHINGTON, Sept- 9. In the case of
the contempt proceedings against Samuel
Mitchell and Frank Mor
rison, of the American Federation of La
bor. In connection with the Buck stove
T-i r . T11H9-A Gnuld de-
XtUBO v,vmiJalj .wunj. " -
elded to appoint an examiner to take
testimony, ana Aiotn "al v" "
designated to perform that service.
Thirty days was sriven to each side for
the purpose of taking testimony.
Widespread Interest has been taken In
the case In view of the labor Issues In
volved. Alton B. Parker, of New York,
who headed the Democratic National
ticket In 1904, Is chief counsel for the
Federation, and a notable array of
counsel was in court. J. R. Van Cleave,
the president of the petitioning com
pany, is also president of the National
Manufacturers" Association.
The Injunction proceedings had their
Inception last November, when Mr. Van
Cleave asked the court. Justice Gould
presiding, to prohibit the Federation
from advising organised labor that the
companv was unfair to its employes, and
from printing that advice In the Federa-
tlonist. tho official organ of the Federa
tion. The injunction was issued by the
court and made permanent. The labor
officials, however, appealed to the public,
setting forth why. they did not comply
with the terms of tho injunction. Mr.
Gompers has published several official
pronunclamentos 3ince then, going into
details in the matter.
Answer of Labor Leaders.
The answers of Messrs. Gompers, Mitch
ell and Morrison to the contempt pro
ceedings was filed with tho court this
morning.
The principal charge made In tre peti
tion refers to criticisms of the Injunction
made by Mr. Gompers in an editorial, in
which he characterized the injunction as
an invasion of the liberty of the press
and of the right of free speech, and fur
ther said it would be Impossible to com
ply with all Its terms. Replying to this
charge, Mr. Gompers. Mr. Mitchell and
Mr. Morrison united in saying:
Answering the seventeenth paragraph of
the petition, this respondent says that the
editorial therein referred to U only to be
understood properly and In Its entirety una
he accordingly, for the full contents there
of, refers to the files of this court. He
denies that said editorial constituted In any
respect the contempt of court or that It
was in any deRree disrespectful of the ac
tion of the court. On the contrary, he
says it contained- such fair and temperate
criticisms as he had a right to indulge in
as a citizen, of the conduct 01 one ot tne
officers' of the Government, and that the
order and 'decree herein passed were never
properly Intended to take away from him
his right as an American citizen, but only
Intended to prevent the doing of acts
styled unlawful and pursuant to a sup
posed unlawful conspiracy to Injure. That
there never existed any conspiracy, combi
nation, agreement or understanding which
resulted in any degree In bringing about
the publication of said editorial, but that
th passing of the decree raised a new
Issue, towlt: Whether the court had acted
within or without the limits prescribed by
Justice: that this Issue, which was one only
Incidentally relating to the pending case,
but which might have been raised by a
case between entirely different parties quite
as well, was the only Issue discussed by
him From his viewpoint, he believed the
action of the court to be erroneous, not
because thu Buck Stove & Range Com
pany or the American Federation of Labor
were the parties Involved, but because as
he believes the underlying principle of the
decision was to be found in an erroneous
conception of right; that "In said editorial,
therefore, the mention of the Buck Stove
& Range Company's name was merely an
incident and not the object of debate."
Mr. Gompers grows facetious In replying
i that Via favored the boy
cott 10 years ago, saying chat not being
a clairvoyant he could not then have
known of the decision In this case, and
urging that no expression used by him
at that time can be construed as In con
tempt of so recent a decision as the one
involved.
Should Be Tried by Jury.
The request for a Jury trial was ex
pressed as follows:
Further answering this respondent says
that several issues of fact arise herein as
to the doing or not doing of certain acts,
as to the motive with which such
acts were performed and as to wintrier
the same were committed at all in vio
lation of the order or decree of this court,
that such acts are of a nature properly to
be Inquired Into by a Jury. Involving a

criminal intent, as to which the unwrit

ognizes a Jury representing the sense of
the body of the community as superior to
the opinion of a Judge selected because
of his special qualifications as a lawyer,
therefore. Issues should be formed to be
passed upon by a Jury.
Wherefore, this respondent prays that ir

pending shall be ot the opinion that the
