" Reasons given by Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell and Mor Ison as to why the court should grant their requests are that there was failure 'by the committee of prosecutors to plead properly in the case, that no pleading has been riled to eooount for the unreasonable delay In the institution of the proceedings and that no proper reply has been Sled to their plea of the statute of li mitations. Dnelss the (notion of p labor leaders prevails, H Is expected that Justice Wright will take action to morrow on the motion of the com mittee of prosecutors that an exam iner In chancery be named to take vtdenoe in the contempt proceedings.

His voice a bit husky from constant use, but strong, President Tatt "spoke" his way down the Wlllamotte valley and across the state of Oregon today. For hour after hour his train travelled a land that blossomed, in (lowers and fruit and the folk who came ot the little towns where his train paused for a minute or two, brought tributes of all sorts to the chief executive. Tonight- with th California line only a few miles away, the presi dential train passed through Ashland. The president's car was loaded with flowers and the steward has accu mulated enough fruit to furnish the president's table for days to come. The scenery today was almost as pleasant to look upon as the fruit and flowers. A few miles out from Saem, the first stop 'of the day, the president got a good look at Mount Hood. Fr two. hours the snow cap ped peak delighted his eyes. Mr. Taft spoke on many subjects. He declared several times that the old battleship Oregon should be the first vessel through the Panama canal, an announcement that always brought forth cheers. He spoke on peace snd arbitration and a half dozen othfr topics. The strain told a little -on his voice, but Indications are that by the time San Francisco is t cached tomor row the president will be Bpcaklng ; acain with his full power.
