FREEDOM OF PRESS ISSUE AT CLEVELAND Appeal on Contempt Case to Be Heard Next Month. BT HAROLD E- RIGHTER t'nit'fi Pr.ss Staff Correspondent CLEVELAND, Aug. 12.—Another question In the very old puzzle of just how much of the constitutional freedom is enjoyed by the American press, will be answered in the Cuayhoga county court of appeals here next month. At that time the appeal of two executives of the Cleveland Press is scheduled to be heard. Louis B. .Seltzer, editor, and Carlton K. Matson, chief editorial writer, were judged guilty recently of contempt of court by Common Pleas Judge Frederick P. Walther. They were fined SSOO each and sentenced each to thirty days in jail. They were t.hen released under bond of SI,OOO each pending their appeal. Judge Walther said from the bench that the newspaper men were guilty of contempt m his court because they printed an editorial criticising him for issuing an injunction against the sheriff of Cuyahoga county enjoining him from interfering with the contribution system of betting on race horses at the Thistledown track. Newton D. Baker Is Counsel Newton D. Baker, former secretary of the navy, is chief counsel for the newspaper men. He told Judge Walther he had never heard of such an injunction as the one. issued against the sheriff “to enioin him from carrying out his sw T orn duty.’’ Baker pleaded, and will continue to plead, he says, for freedom of the press and the right of newspapers to criticise any and all public officials just as long as such criticism does not stand in the way of justice itself. The injunction used the phrase “if it be not in violation of the laws of Ohio” in licensing the contribution system to carry on at the trsck. Baker argued that this phrase made it no injunction at all and that furthermore contempt can not he charged unless the criticism is made of the court while a certain case is pending. Vigorous Criticism Vigorous editorial criticism which in many cases amounted to severe condemnation of the judge’s action in sentencing the men, cropped out U over the country. The American Civil Liberties .Union wired an offer to help defend the editors. Metropolitan newspapers were almost. unanimous in their criticism of the judge. One close io the scene, called the judge s injunction order a “weazel-worded writ.” Another said: “Juoge Walther's decision stands out because it Is not only contrary to law but like the order that gave rise to it. is a judicial absurdity." Walther sat on the bench and passed judgment in the case of the editors after citing them for contempt of his own court. This also was criticised freely. SCIENTISTS TO STUDY SUN HEAT IN AFRICA Hop* to Secure Data to Forecast Weather Over Long Period. Bv United Preen WASHINGTON. Aug. 12 Scientific observations of variations in the sun's heat, are to be undertaken by three American scientists, who left here recently for Southwest Africa. A solar observatory, located atop Mount BrukkaVos. is maintained jointly by the National Geographic Society and Smithsonian Institution for the purpose of obtaining accurate records of the sun's heat. These records are forwarded to Washington where they are compared with similar data obtained from stations in Southern California and Chile. Bv comparing the various information it is hoped accurate weather forecasts can be made many months in advance. Already figures obtained over a period of two years have disclosed a steady rise and fall in the sun’s heat —a cycle that is checked by variations in Europe's grain yield.

a search was started. No trace was found, and finally they notified the state police. Searching posses were hastily organized. All neighbors were pressed into service and spread out over a three-mile radius. A white shirt seen from a distance in the woods at 9 o’clock led to the finding of LaFernier, sitting calmly on the ground, and ended the hunt. He was four miles from home and how at his age he ever walked so far, much of the distance in a dense woods, was probably a mystery to himself. “I am never going to leave the house a,gain.” he vowed to his sons and grandchildren.
