posed last week by Judge Daniel
Thew Wright upon Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, officers of the Americau Federation of
Labor, for violation of his Injunction
not to persist In their boycott of tho Huck Stove and Range Company of
St. Louis, is seriously questioned by
many lawyers who have been giving the case consideration.
Amonc them, nuito naturally, is
nnniol n.ivnnnort. one of the counsel
for the company. Ho contends that
the President has absolutely no Jurisdiction In tho premises, and that ho not only could not pardon the labor leaders, but could not even commute their sontences.
A gigantic movement of protest nirninst the imnrlsonment of Samuel
nnmncrs. John Mitchell and Frank
Morrison, of the American Federa
Hon of Labor was promulgated Sun
day by the Central Federated Union
of New York. A committee of thirty was appoint
ed to arrange for mass meetings, for thn collaboration of laboring men
throughout tho country, and for the
institution of a country-wide campaign
tn culminate In a further protest to
President Roosevelt by all citizens of Hin tTnltfd States who bellevo tho
Wright decision to be in violation of tho constitutional privileges of the
fron nress and free speech.
Without a vote in dissent, tho Cen
trnl Federated Union adopted a set
of resolutions declaring that neither
r.omocrs. Mitchell or Morrison nau
violated the law in the Duck Stove
and Range case. A letter from Samuel Gompers announced . to the union in N-ew York that the American Federation of Labor had decided to withdraw Its "we-don't-patronize" list from tho American Federatlonlst pending the enactment by Congress of an amendment to the Sherman act exempting' labor unions from its provisions.

by Jean Matt is, an alleged Hoyalist, threw the city Into wild excitement
Thursday. Although tho President
escaped without any injury other than
a scratch on the ear In tho sculllo
with his assailant, many wild rumors
concerning the affair were set afloat.
nil of them magnifying the seriousness
of the injury.
The attack was made near tno
Rue do l'Elollo whllo tho President
was taklnti an early morning stroll
accomnanied by M. Ramondou, his
secretary, nnd Colonel Lassen, ono of
the military attaches at tno ftiysec.
Mattis. who annarently Had been
awaiting the appearance of tue rresi

behind, throwing his arms auout nis
ueck and trying to throw him to tue
uround.
The Pres dent crannied wuu nis as
gallant and broke his cane in tne
stnmsde.
Colonel Lasson and M. Knmonuou
dragged tho man away and turned him
over to two Government detectives
who had been following the party in
order to guard tho President from any
possible attack Just such as occurreu.
The man while being lianucuiieu
exclaimed: "1 simply wanted to pun
thn Prfildonts beard. I am not
armed." This was found to be true
when ho was searched.
Mattis gave his ago as 24, occupa
tion, waiter. Medals and stamps Hear

Dockets, and- also a card of member

Francalse. Of lato the Royalist organs have been charging the Government with
responsibility for all sorts of crimes, using the' Steinholl and the Fallieros-
Austresso affairs as illustrations. It is thought that the reading of some
of these inflammatory articles mn
have induced Mattis to make his at
tack on M. Falliercs.
Early this week the hoight of au

The advlco recently given him that he will get no elephants on the routo he has decided to take has caused him to determine to get as far into the interior of Africa as necessary to get elephants. The white rhinoceros will bo found, if at all, on the headquar
ters of the Nile, which tno rresiuenu will strike after leaving Victoria, Ny-
anza.
