tumnt of court in nubllshin an ed

court, had never seen the article and
did hot know of such a. court ruling.
la the statement today of S. M. Bex

Sexton moreover declares that the
trial of Mitchell before the supreme
court of the District I coiumDia wai
a breach of the law, which provides
that such offenses shall b tried in
the court having- jurisdiction where the
alleged offense was committed. Bex
ton says: "
"I waa the editor of the Mine Work
ers' Journal and wrote the matter com
plained of and in referring- to the con
tempt sentence against Mitchell, can
ear that I never wrote anything; with
more deliberation. I wrote it in studied
contempt for an obscure Judge of a re-
' mote region who deliberatelytrampled
under loot the constitutional right of
free speech, free press, the right of
peaceable assembly and the inestimable
right of trial by Jury.
'Mitchell never saw the editorial tin
til he was served with the legal pro
cess and knew nothing- about Us prior
appearance.
Mitchell la a resident of Illinois. He
- Is held In contempt of court at Wash
ington for an offense of which he is
entirely innocent.
"He waa utterly Ignorant of the al
leged offense committed in the state
of Indiana. He waa tried in Washing
ton, contrary to a decision of the United
States supreme court in the given case
of Charles A. Han a, editor of the New
York Sun, in a syllabus, which was a
decision that offenders must be tried
in the court undet whose Jurisdiction
the said offense wm committed.
"Respect for a court Is a respect
that Is involuntarily Inspired-by its
conduct Tou can't command It, with
a battery of cannon." .
LABOR MEN SEE
GOOD COMING OUT
OF THE DECISION ;
By John E. lAthrop. " i
Washington. Dec. 28. Labor men who
opposed Gompers' plan In the 1908 cam
paign are flocking to enthusiastic sup
port of him. John Mitchell and Frank
Morrison, sines their sentencing by Jua-
tlce Wright to terms of Imprisonment ,
That the action by Justice Wright sup-i
plies exactly the thing that waa needed
to solidify the labor forces, la the con- j
sensus or opinion among union mm
here. The discussion of the sentencing
ta Jail haa rivaled the absorbing cnrisi
mas Joys, engaging the attention of all
classes, opinion ranging from denuncia
tion of the court to expressions hostile
to Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison.
Loyal friends of the labor movement
agree that the present situation Is such
that on th action taken over the conn-,
try by affiliated bodies depends the
swerving of public sentiment either for
or agRlnst the union labor movement for
years to come.
That had this decision come before
the election Taft would have been de
fpHted is the belief in Inner circles of
labor here. Even the president' quar
rel with congress over the civil service
matter Is dwarfed beside the momen
tous issue raised by the sentence.
I And in talking with friends of the
three sentenced men that under the sur
face pretense of regret at the Wright
declaration Is deep satisfaction with the
course of events. . -
People will realise the position in
which labor men stand," they say. 'The
country will know now the insufficiency
of our laws to protect men who work.
A flood of bills will be Introduced at
ii.. nnminr of conerress in January, or1
soon thereafter, deigned to prevent any

Story Evolved From Broken
Engagement "With the '
Duke de Abruzzi.
(United Press teased Wire.)
Washington, Dec. 28 The end of the
romance of beautliui Katherine Elklns
nnd the Duke of the Abruzzi is to be
like the final chapter of an old faeh
ioied novel, in which the heroine flees
with her memories to convent walls and
flie hero betakes himself and his
wounded heart to the wilderness of the
world to seek forgetfulness.
'The authoritative announcement - In
the early part of this month that there
would be no marriage between Miss El
klns and the Italian prince and cousin
of the king was hardly cold when the
cable brought from Rome the report
that the duke was planning To be off
to an unexplored mountain fastness of
India, Subsequent dispatches have con
firmed that report and ever since Wash
ington haa been wondering what the
?'oung woman would do with herself,
t being assumed that her affections
have been as deeply wounded as her
royal suitor's by the breaking of . the

of study in the Homeopathic general
Ins' attitude toward society for the next
six months at least and perhaps longer,
wtll be more serious even than was an
ticipated. She is going to try to forget
by giving her time up entirely to the
study and course necessary to fit her
self to be a trained nurse. i -;;
Arrnnfi-ftmenta have- been made V
Misa Elkins to begin the serious work
of a study in the Homeopathic general
hospital at Second and N streets in
this city on Monday week. She has em
ployed a professional nurse -to be her
mentor and guide in the early steps of
the course which she Is to take.
The course which Miss Klklns will
have to. follow, under the rules of her
training, will include attendance at all
lectures. ' clinics and operations. She
will have to spend a certain number of
hours each day in various wards . ob
serving the treatment of patients and
fitting herself to take temperatures,
dress wounds, apply bandages and all
the offices which nurses must perform
for tho sick.
It is said that Miss Elklns' tuition
will cover only six months. This period
haa been fixed by her as a time In
which aha could decide whether she
would continue her studies. She will
not live at the hospital as other nurses
In training are compelled to do. but she
will have to put in most of her days
there, and frequently nights, if she
hopes to keep with the course.
According to the moat reliable Infor
mation, there has been no" communica
tion between Miss Klklns and the duke
since December 2, when he sent her a
cabigram of 200 words, presumably his
farewell message. It was only five
days afterward that the news waa re
ceived that the duke bad planned to go
on another exploring expedition and
that he had chosen the most hazardous
task of climbing the great Himalayan
peak, Mount Evereet .

DIRECTORY GAME
Two Clever Swindlers Al

Many Local Merchants.
'Alleged to have worked the time hon
ored .city directory bank game on
enough Portland merchants to net them
several thousand dollars, J. W. Stanley
and James Gage are prisoners in the
city Jail and will be examined in Jus
tice court this afternoon. More than 20
of the large business bouses of the city
promise to have witnesses at the hear
ing. -'--- . -"., -
Stanley and Gage are said to have
been working on the : directory scheme
for months. They picked out the large
business houses and manufacturers and
represented that, they were securing ad
vertisements for a directory of Pacific
coast business men, and for amounts
ranging from $2.50 to 820 would insert
the name of the firm in bsld-faced type
in the publication, and also run a small
advertisement ', -
Their task proved .' to be easy, it Is
claimed, and they found nearly every
one willing -to get in. They would visit
a business house, show the manager a
book, apparently containing contracts,
and ask him If he did not wish to have
the name of his firm displayed In the
directory. If he did he waa asked to
sign a contract agreeing to pay a stip
ulated sum. The contract, furthermore,
provided . that upon payment of the
amount named in the contract the payer
had no more claim on the directory
company whatsoever.' It la this clause
which, technically absolves the two al
leged swindlers from ' being charged
with securing money under false pre
tenses. They are being; held on a charge
of vagrancy, -but the extreme sentence
will be asked for by the merchants who
claim they have been "stung." :
The stock books used by the two men
are said to have contained extra
leaves, which would be inserted be
tween the pages of the regular book
Just before the contract waa signed. In
this way the signers claim "they were
left ignortant of the real character of
their contracts.
The men are said to have first be
gun their operations In Portland several
months ago. They were repbrted to
the Plnkertons at the time and as soon
as they realized they were rnder sus
picion, left the city.- They returned a
short time ago, however, find appar
ently resumed their old game.. Among
the firms visited was Scott & Munseli
on East JVorrlson street. When a clerk
began to Inquire Into, the character of
the proposition, however, the men ap
parently became alarmed and left the
store at once.
They had previously visited a good
many of the east side Implement houses
including Studebakers. the Moline Plow
company and Mitchell, Lewis & Staver.
In some cases they secured the money
at once, while in others the contracts
were signed but the first payment waa
withheld. ;
Stanley is a man of about Ed and
Gage gives his age as 40. Both are well
dressed and they apparently are little
worried over their arrest The police
suspect at least one of them of having
operated the same game for years In
California cities. Three other solicitors,
believed to have been working in col
lusion with Stanley and Gage, are b
ing looked for by the police today.

Henry asked If a Japanese went Into

whether the law would apply. Jenkins
tried to evade the question, but' Henry
pinned him down to it Finally Jenkins
said:
"I agree with the gentleman from
Texas that If two or more persons In a
city conspires together to prevent one
of those aliens going Into the public
schools this law would apply."
The debate on the bill was acrimoni
ous. Several members of the house ve
hemently objected to the proposition of
giving an alien the protection of the
federal government, where a citizen of
the United States would not be entitled
to that protection.
It was agreed by the members of the
