' Washington, Juno. 27. Justice Dan iel T. Wright, of the District Supremo Court has issued a rule against Samunl Gompers, Fi ank . Morrisor: and John Mitchell, the. labor leaders, requiring them to show cause on July 17th why they should hot be judged guilty of con tempt of court. Thia action followed the filing of the report of the. special committee of attorneys appointed by Justice Wright to inquire into the mat ter of contempt proceedings in 'the Buck Stove and R'nge boycott case. " Mr. Gompers is President, Mr. Mor rison secretary, and Mr. M itcliell Vice-President of the American Feder ation of Labor. .The contempt proceed ings against the labor leaders recently were passed upon by the United Slates Supreme Court which sit a&ide j lil sen tences heretofore imposed by Judge Wright. The'Supreme Court hold that the contempt on which Justice,. Wright formerly passed was or a civil nature and against the Buck Stove and Range Company. In dismissing the former proceedlneM. . however, the -Supreme Court gave to the District CouA aright to reopen the ' case in the event that any contempt of the court itself or ite orders should be found. , Inasmuch as the stove company an I tha American Federation of Labor had adjusted their differences it was not supposed that the matter would he pur sued further. But the day following the decision Justice Wright immediate ly ordered an investigation with a'vitw to further contempt action against the labor men. He appointed a committee of three lawyers to inquire inio all the circumstances of the case and to del e r mine' whether or not there had been a contempt of the court itself. This com mittee coosisted, of :f. J. Darlington, Daniel Davenport andJas. M. Beck.

Rockefeller, head of the biggest trust in the world, is necesary and as a result he has for saken his country home in Cleveland and will be at hia office, 26 Brpadway from now on. . There is great interest in 'the street' in the p'aus of the big oil monopoly, but it is stated at the offices that none of the details will be given until after the dissolution is accomplished. Inusmuch as Mr. Rockefeller is con nected with 26 Broadway by both 'phone and telegraph wires when in Cleveland, financiers who know the oil king well say that he would only come here to participate in conferences that must be carefully guarded from the public. .

Writ of Habeas Corpus Denied. Sentence of Ten Years Good Perhaps Longer. Atlanta, Ga., June 28 -Charles W. Morse was denied the writ of habeas, corpus for which he applied to Federal Judge Newman to obtain his release from the Atlanta prison, where he is serving a 15-year sentence for violation of the national banking laws. Judge Newman did not pass upon the contention that. Morse could not be forced legally to serve more than 10 years of his sentence", but he sustained the validity of 10 years of the sentence. He rejected Morse's plea that the At lanta prison could not be used for tha confinement of those sentenced to im prisonment without hard labor. "I do not think that any relief can be granted under this petition at this time," said Judge Newman. "Tie question is whether this petiti n pre sents anything which would require that something be done now for ihe pe tition. I think this sentence is unques tionably good for 10 yeir. Whether it is good for 15 years cannot be passed oi at this time. Th t time ha9 not come to rie 'ide that, I would unques tionably have no right now to interfere w th the sentence, even if it is for 10 years. 1' do not believe that Morse s status as a prisoner can be determined upon a writ of habeas corpus which, as presented in this cas, is an anticipa tory petition. The writ of habeas cor pus is to determine whether or not tha prisoner shall be discharged or remand ed. I do not see how upon such a petition the question of hard labor can be de termined. If, however, I were to g ve a judgment upon this question, I would say, upon authorities quoted, that the Atlanta penitentiary can be used for those sentenced to imprison ment without hard labor. If it were otherwise, the most I could do would : e to decide that the attorney general or other proper authorities be request ed to transfer Morse to some other in- ' stitution. I do not think this would be more desirable than the present place of imprisonment. Indeed I would think it would be unfortunate if the prison ers were not compel! )d to do some kind of work.
