May 5.?Contempt of court Judgments against Samuel Gomper* John Mitchell anil Frank Morrison tor their violation of a court's Judgment in the noted ihi.-k Stove and Hange case were afflrno d today by the District court of appeals, but the Jail sentences Imposed WOTS hold to hsvs bssn too severe so the court reuuced Uompers' Scnten M from one year to 30 days and de- \ creed that Mitchell and Morrison should merely be lined $600. The lower court sentenced Mitchell to nine months and Morrison to six. The supreme court of the United States undoubtedly will be asked to again review the decision. Fnltke previous decisions in this case which have be ?n unanimous against the labor leaders, the court of appecJs was divided. Chief Jus ties Bheppard dissented, held that tho whole decision should be re? versed; that contempt of a federal court was a criminal offense and that tho statute of limitations had run in the case. Justice Van Orsdel. who concurred In the majority opinion, held that tho refusal of Mitchell to assure the lower court of his Intention to d?ey the mesialr of Inferior courts In tho fu? ture wss "Important In measuring the Infest and temper of tho respond? ents" With that the dissenting chief Jus? tice disagreed, saying In his opinion: "I am unable to see how the ro to apologise for an act. the lesion of which has been ox denied, shows a reprehenslve tnteat of teTper. On the contrary, It seem* to me the natural conduct of a self-respecting man. Having sworn that he neither disobeyed nor Intended to disobey the mandate of the court, a confession that he had done so would be a solemn admission of the commission of r. dt'u'. perjury." The majority decision was largely devoted to setting out why the orlg I Inal sentences were held unreason? able. In part It was held. **To permit the respondents to es punlshment would be a travesty Justice, but we think that the penalty Imposed is so unreasonable as to demand modification. The differences which necessitated the injunction have been settled. The solo purpose cf punishment, there? fore, is to give reasonable assurance that respondents will In the future reepc* t the authority of tho courts. While the injunction was Issued to restrain the most subtle and far reaching conspiracy to boycott that has come to our attention, the boy? cott has ceased and the necessity for the injunction no longer existed at the time this csse was tried below. "A penalty, therefore, which would ha>r> been Justifiable to prevent fur? ther defiance of the order of the eourt. but for the settlement, would now be needless and excessive. Had the court below imposed penalties eot greatly in excess of those whl h we now deem adequate we would not feel Justified In holding that then m an sbuse of discretion. ?. however, the pcnultles Imposed are so unreasonably excessive and we are called up -n to modify tho Judg ments, we prefer to err, If ut all, on th*? aide of moderation. MNo one. however, can read ?hls record without being convinced th.u respondent Uompers has been the chief fsetor In this contempt; hence a heavier punishment is merited in than In the case of the other Mule end Iluggy Stolen.

Dr. Holman, after examining them, pronounced them to t>e only tlesh wounds and not at all dangerous.

Ho docs not believe in young people "having things too easy and coinfort tbta He believe* that work develops eha:a< der A recent public ation quotes from a speech made by him several years ago, In which he said: I was brought up in Georgia in the path of General Sherman's famous march to the sea. As Henry Grady nnOS remarked, "General Sherman was a bit careless with lire," and fof this reason among other things he never has heen a popular man in Georgia. I'or myself, however, I feel that I owe ?Jeneral Sherman a debt of gratitude. He produced conditions and an envir? onment which made it necessary for UM individual to develop every re ?sggfOi and every power with which nature had endowed him, in order to <-\l*t. I believe that character is pro? duced and developed to tho highest degree by hardships, suffering and poverty. 1 have never doubted that whatever of character and capacity I ha loped has been in a large measure due to the surroundings and l-onditlons which General Sherman foread Upon the POOpM Of my section during the great war. Mr. McAdoo in his own life has proven the truth of the views ex? pressed. Going to New York some as an unknown man, at least unknown to that city, hi saadoa ?ok cess in the banking business; then turned his attention to the construc 1 log of th.- Hudson tunnel, after Kn glleh ami American snglnoers and promoters had failed, Induced New York banker! to provide about $750, .Ml for carrying out his broad plans, and raised nearly as much mot! at another time in bidding on BUbWay \\<>rk for the city, Mr. Mc?

AUSTIN KILLS ANOTHER^ Desperate Negro Reported to Have Killed Another White Man in Georgia Swamp. Barnwelli May 6.?A message from Clyo, Ga., to Sheriff Morris, received laif this afternoon, stated that Rich? ard Henry Austin, the Hampton coun? ty fugitive, who has been hunted by posses numbering hundred! since last Wednesday, when he killed two white men and fatally wounded a third, who has since died, has been located in the swamp near Clyo, where he had added another victim to his death list. The message came while Sheriff Monis was in Florence, where he was advised a man answering Austin's de? scription had been arrested. This proved not to be Austin, however. The report from Clyo was to the effect that a crowd was close on tho heels of Austin, but that bloodhounds and re? inforcements were urgently needed to effect his capture. The information was immediately transmitted to Sher? iff Morris at Florence ami that offi? cer promptly telephoned to his deputy here to git the dogs from the chain gang and with a posse proceed to Fairfax, where he would meet them the party going on to Clyo. The dep? uty hastened to t arry out his instruc? tion! and left by automobile at 11.30 tonight. The message from Clyo was sent, it seems, to Policeman Alfred Dunbar of Allendale, who Immediately in? formed the sheriff's office here of the reported situation. Clyo is on the Seaboard Air Line railroad, about 37 miles below Fairfax and about four miles from the South Carolina lino. Beyond the statement that the posse was close behind Austin and that he had killed another white man, the j message received lu re brought no particulars. POLICE SEARCH SWAMP.

This afternoon it was reported that the posse was searching along the river close to judge Henry Van R. Wlnkler'i plantation and that some of the posse were In boats, looking along the hank;; and going over to the op? posite shore. It |s not known who told the county police here that Austin was thought to be this close to the city, but that the tip was thought to bo a good one wae shown by the alacrity of the response of the whole das relief of the county force, which immediately went on machines 13 mile! up the river from here. Information is to the effect that more elaborate plans for searching the swamps thoroughly for Austin are being made. Bloodhound! are expected to be put on the trail.

Woods of Marion, who was recently nominated by President Wil? son to succeed Judge Nathan Goft on < the Fourth circuit bench, R. W. 1 Shand, R. B. Herbert of Columbia, and one or two other friends came to Washington today to look into tho matter. j The man In question asked the ju? diciary committee not to allow Jus tic Woods to be confirmed. Justice Woods is the man who delivered an opinion in this attorney's case when he was ruled for contempt for practic? ing law after he had been disbarred. This angered the latter, hence his ef? forts to have the confirmation held up. The South Carolina lawyers, after looking into the situation carefully and being assured that Justice Woods' interests would be protected, left for home this afternoon. As Senator C'.iilton, a member of i the senate judiciary committee now looking into the case, was absent from Washington today and will not return until Wednesday, nothing will be done until that time. ssrs. Shand and Herbert, soon after their arrival here, met Congressmen Lever and Hags dale, as well as Senator Smith, at the capltol, and an informal conference was held and Inasmuch as it was ap? parent that nothing could be done, at I least until the return of Senator Chil ' ton, it was decided to leave the mat? ter in the hands of the South Carolina congressmen. No doubt is expressed here that when the committee has investigated the matter a favorable report on Judge Woods' nomination will be made and that it will be promptly confirmed.

The governor stated that he had fought the Dick law as a member of I the, senate. He said that the re? quirements of the Dick law were too stringent.
