SIN CLAIRGIVEN TWENTY DAYS In Which to Make Further Pleadings.—Senate Has Power to Compel Pertinent Testimony, Says Opinion. Washington. July 14.—Six of the ten counts in the indictment of Harry F. Sin clair for contempt of the Senate, were sustained in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia today. ' Sinclair was given 20 days to make fur ther pleadings. In reviewing the case. Justice Hoehliug citisl various precedents and following the general rule in such questions declared the issue of the au thority of Congress should be resolved against the defendant, and in favor of the existence of the power to compel per- j tincut testimony in aid of the exercise of its legislative function, but excluding self-incrimination. On the claim of counsel for Sinclair that the Senate if it had authority to ask the questions, had deprived itself of jur isdiction by the resolution to refer the oil case to the courts for determination, the opinion held that this was only a part of the subject matter of the Senate in quiry which, he asserted, stil was un completed. In view of the far reaching questions involved, the Justice made the date for Sinclair's next move 20 days ahead, so that if lie desired, he would have reason able opportunity tot apply to the court of appeals for the allowance of a special appeal. This proceedure, it 'was said, would expedite the decision by the final court of the United States, where the case ultimately is expected to be settled. MAJ.

LA FOLLETTE CAMP SEES SURE YICTORY IN CHOICE OF DAVIS j Nomination of Governor Bryan Will Make Fight Harder in Some States Is Headquarters View. George F. Authier in New York XX’orld. Chicago, July 11. —Recognizing no palliatitive in the nomination of Charles XX’. Bryan, of Nebraska, for vice presi dent on the Democratic ticket, the I*a Follette forces here today declared the "nomination of John XXL Davis by the XX'all Street interests make*"* Senator Robert XL La Follctte’s election as Presi dent a certainty.” It was with this militant declaration that Representative John XI. Nelson, of XX’isconsin, who will manage the La Follette campaign, greeted the nomina tions. In its effect upon the XX’est, there is no doubt the nomination of Davis brings comfort to the La Follette lead ers. although the result of the nomina tion of Gov. Bryan for the second place is disturbing. XVhile withholding their bitterest com ments. the nomination of Gov. Bryan, and the acceptance of the ticket -by XX’il liam J. Bryan is looked upon by the La Follette men as something akin to apostasy by the Bryans. Nebraska to See Battle. The nomination will make Nebraska a unique battleground. The farmers of that state will be asked to determine whether they will follow the leadership of Gov. Bryan or of Senator George XXL Norris. There is no Jogical place for Norris except in the La Follette chariot, while Senatot li. B. Howell, expected to remain regular, will take no active part in the Campaign. Nebraska, m addition to those rival forces, is also the home of the two vice presidential Candidates, for it was at Lincoln that Gen. Charles G. Dawes started in his' business career. It was by Former Representative Jefferie, of Omaha, that lie was placed in nomina tion at Cleveland. The nomination of Bryan for second place on the Democratic ticket is looked upon as a challenge to the La Follette forces in their own section, and they will accept it. They insist they will make no terms with Bryan and will name their own candidate for vice president, porbably at Washington July 18th. Despite the appearance of harmony which marked the close of the Democrat ic convention, the La Follette forces are determined to make an attempt to line up the disgruntled elements of the Democrats in the comping campaign. The Bryan candidacy is not expected by them to have much effect in XX’is consin, Xlinnesota and North Dakota, but in states like Illinois. lowa, South Dakota and Nebraska, regardless of their confidence, the effect is uncertain. Up to the time of naming Bryan for the second place, the La Follette people were confident they would carry all the states named. The injection of Bryan into the situation, however, precipitates a new value and makes the three-cor nered struggle one in which each of the three groups may hope to win. The effect of the completed nomina tions on liJlinois is attracting keen in terest. This state represents the man ner in which all of the parties through out the XX’est are disrupted. The Re publicans are in an especially bad way. Fighting in Brazil of Desperate Char acter.

Speaking for the XlcAdoo men in or ganize! labor, J. F. XlcXlahon, of Ra leigh. gives it as his opinion that La Follette will not come to North Caro lina for a campaign. Xlr. XlcXlahon was a XlcAdoo organiz er during the campaign and lie doubt less was among the many who sent tele grams to the North Carolina delegation to hold fast to XlcAdoo. It was the opinion of leaders in the state delegation that the labor folks would resent any breaking away of North Carolina if there appeared at any time a chance to nomi nate XlcAdoo. The result has been lucky. Xlr. XlcXlahon says he will sup port Davis and Bryan because he thinks the eraftsmeu stand a better chance with this combination than with Coolidge and Dawes. And it is Xlr. XlcXlahon's impression that organized labor generally will feel more keenly toward the Democratic than the Republican pair. Mrs. V. G. Smith Killed When Auto Is Hit by Train.
