Vera Cruz, not only the seventeen whono
bodies were brought up by the cruiser
Montana, but also for Clarence Harsh
bargev and Henry Pulllan, who havo

The religious ceremony at the navy

It was Just 10.50 when the procession

CONTEMPT SENTENCES'
IN LABOR CASES
Supreme Court Sets
tion of Tl:
STATUTE OF
Samuel Oompers, John Mitchell and ,
Frank Morrison Escape.
GREW OUT OF COURT INJUNCTION
Chiefs Stentenced to Jail, but Con
victions Are Set Aside.
POINT OF MATTER INVOLVED
Jmllcm Holme' Who Henri the
Opinion, Sny Contempt Are Not
to fie Treated n Conspira
cies Tito Dissent.
WASHINGTON, May ll.-The contempt
sentences Imposed by the district su
preme court on Samuel Gompers, John
Mitchell and Prank Morrison, labor lead
ers, were set aside today by the supremo
court for tho second time as barred by
the statute of limitations.
Justice Holmes In beginning the opin
ion said that contempts wero not to be
treated as conspiracies, a point urged on
the court In behalf of tho labor leaders.
He said the case turned on tho point
that the contempt proceedings should
have been started within three years from
the dale of (he committing of tho of
fenses. U said proceedings for contempt
should be speedy and thus come within
the purpose nf the statute of limitations,
which require prosecutions within thrco
years. Justice Pitney and Vandevcntcr
dissented.
The contempts charged against the la
bor leaders occuricd In 1907 and early In
1908, about the time thn District of Co
lumbia supreme court Issued an Injunc
tion prohibiting the federation officials
from boycotting the Bucks Stove and
Range company of- St. Louis, then In a
labor war with organized labor.
The labor leaders were sentenced to Jail,
but the supreme court of tho United
States In 1911 set thp conviction aside be
cause the labor lenders hadbcen pro
ceeded against as It the procedlngs were
part of the boycott suit. The district
couri. uie nay nuer mo reversal, men
be"-n ;Pte proceedings against the
leaders for the same offense,
Conclusion of Judnre Holme.
In concluding his decision Justice
Holmes said In part:
"Kven If the statute does not cover the
case by Its express words, as wo think It
does, still in dealing with the punishment
of crime a rule should be laid down, If
not b congress-, hr thfs-CTJttrCT'h 'power
to punish for contempt must havo norno
Jlmlt In time, nn in defining that limit
we should have regard to what has been
tho policy of the law from the founda
tion of the government. By analogy, If
not by enactment, the limit Is three
years.
"In a country where not even treason
can be prosecuted after a lapso of three
years It could scarcely be supposed an
Individual would remain forever liable to
a pecuniary forfeiture.
"The result In that the Judgments,
based, as they are, mainly on offenses
that could not be taken Into considera
tion, must be reversed."
The decision settled the point that con
tempts of court are crimes. Tho point
has been raised In contempt cases
throughout the country.
Justice Holmes said that contempts
are infractions of tho law, visited with
punishment as such, and if they wore
not crimes the court was In enor as to
the most fundamental characteristics of
crimes as that word hns been understood
in Kngllsh speech.

yet a half dozen local democratic vet.
erans put themselves on the mental rec
ord of tho onlookers and listeners so
that there will be some things It will b
hard for them to deny In the future.
Charles K. Fanning, old-time democrat,
eamo up the street with threo or font
others. Charles wa furious, He would
not stand for the candidacy of Charles
W Bryan for governor. No slrt He was
against everything that savored of th
Bryans.
And he waved his arms and smnshrd
his flstn Into the palm of his hand until
thn resounding smack re-echoed from ttm
faco of the buildings across the street
In front nf the cigar storo he was halted
by a little group that wanted to hear
what all the excitement was about.
George Roger Joined In the dispute.
Rogers said he was for Charles Bryan
for governor, and felt sure that all would
bo well.
"Why, Bryan didn't even vole for
Dahlman when he was running for gov
ernor." shouted Fanning.
"He did too," snapped Rogers. "I'll bet
you JI00 ho did."
"Bet nothing," shrieked Fanning.
"Who would you leave it to7"
"I'm willing tn leave it to Bryan him-
self," replied Rogers.
"Iave It to Bryan!" sneered Fanning.
1 wouldn't take his word on anything. '
"Then shut up," eaJd Rogers, "for
money talks "
Closer and closer crowded the demo
crats who wanted to hear the discussion
out Meyer Klein clung close to Kan-
nlng's elbow and kept urging "That's
right: me, too. That's right. Charley."
And when Rogers was getting the bet.
ter of the urguniont Klein, crowding do
to Fanning, again ventured, "No. no.
Ucorge; you're wrog, George."
Upheld the llrynna.
But George Rogers went on upholding
tho Bryans. George Hey and George
Yager, old democratic wheelhornes, clung
close enough to the battle front to get
a whiff of the smoke. Pete Botand,
democrat, who once thought of filing
for. sheriff, clung to the outer rim of
the circle, and sad:
"Silence Is golden."
III the second circle on the outer rim
of the group clung Henry F. Moyere,
republican candidate for register of deeds
of Douglas county; Robert C. Druese
dow, republican representative from
Douglas county In the state legislature,
and Jim Hammond and Rube Wiseman,
old-time republicans of Omaha.
Still back of this rim stood the lone
bullmoose, John I .owls, chairman of the I
Douglas county progressive committee.
Spying Lewis, Charles Fanning roared
out again: "I'd give my support and
my money to a bullmoose before I'd
support a Bryan for an office."
Lewis did not offer to take Fannlng's
cash subscription at the moment, how
ever, and tho raging discussion went on.
Politician Are I.lnr.
"All politicians arc liars," was another
venture of Fannlng's.
