LEWIS CONTENP RLING DELAYVED Minois Court Sets May 18 for Final Hearing of Mine Case. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May 1.—The Bangamon County Circuit Court yes- terday declined to determine at this time whether John L. Lewis, president of the old-line party of the United Mine Workers of America, and his associates are guilty of contempt of court. The court ruled, in connection with Lewis' alleged violation of injunction obtain by State President Harry Fish- wick and other opponents of Lewis, that it could not pass on the con- tempt issue until a complete hearing had been held. May 1¢ was set for & final hearing. Under the injunction Lewis was re- strained from interfering with the activities of the Illinois district of the miners. When called today to answer charges that he had disregarded the restraining edict, Lewls, through his attorneys, informed the three judges of the court that he was of the opinion that the injunction had lost its effect when the Illinois miners deserted the union and formed a dual organiza- tion. The dual group to which ne referred was organized here during the week of March 10, under the title of the United Mine Workers of America. The answer of Lewis set forth that at no time had the officers of the United Mine Workers intended to vio- late the injunction. As long as the Illinois Union officers remained in the United Mine Workers Lewis respected the injunction, his answer set forth. Lewis was not in court. - Strauss, the great German musician, ‘was once at a dinner in Berlin at which s guest ridiculed the musical composi- tions of the one-time Kaiser.

BY GRETCHEN S. SMITH. Salvaging treasures from ships lying at the bottom of the Great Lakes is but. one of the professional occupations of Mrs. Margaret Campbell Goodman, New York delegate, who attended the fifth biennial convention of the National League of American Pen Womena here last week. Mrs. Goodman has lived through many experiences in a life replete with adventure, but none has “outthrilled” those she has encountered while diving to the bottom of Lake Erie, where, at the depth of 180 feet, she has wandered through the state rooms and corridors of ships lost over 50 years ago. With the assistance of her company of sal- vagers, she has brought back to the world relics and treasures whose owners lost their lives in the great storms on the lake a half century ago, and whose identity forever will remain unknown. Once Was a Reporter. Mrs. Goodman's imagination became fired when, as a small girl living in the north of Michigan, an uncle told her tales of treasure ships sunk in the Great Lakes. Later, as a reporter on the Courler-Herald of Saginaw, she inter- vl(;:led an inventor of a deep-sea diving suit. ; “I realized after seeing that suit of armor, the great ibilities it offered to those who would wear it and pene- trate the depths,” said Mrs. Goodman, “lndlgllo'ngad for the opportunity to go myself. “In 1916,” continued .the tiny diver, MRS. MARGARET C. GOODMAN. whose 4 feet 4 inches in height and 110 pounds of weight make one marvel at her courage, “I organized a company to help recover the treasures lost on_the steamer Pewabic, which sank in Lake Huron over a half century ago. We were occupied two years in this undertaking, but it was worth it, as we recovered many thousand dollars worth of copper.” ged by Mrs. Goodman a diver in the Great Lakes and many are the sights she has witnessed below the water's surface. Attired in a heavy diving suit, with 16 pounds of lead on each foot and 28 pounds about her body, Mrs. sinks beneath the waves. “The {: I sink, the more buoyant I become,” she explained. “No, I have never felt fear but once. That was when I dived into the sea off Atlantic City and the water “I usually plane,” she explained. much more w?rhor'l"ncfll tl;:sn&h‘eh:h:n?ne of drufinx Wi ugs. b wreck shows up as a dark spot in the water. I am now studying aviation,” Mrs. Goodman added, “with the idea of piloting my own plane eventually in searching for wrecks.” “Have 1 ever seen skeletons?” laughed this remarkable little person. “Yes, many of them. Sometimes they have been in staterooms clothed in and laces, with rings and bracelets upon their bones. I am now wearing a gold ring and a bracelet recovered from a skeleton at the bottom of Lake Erie. “It is a strange thing,” Mrs. Good- man explained in answer to a ques- tion. “Silks recovered from wrecks: are brought to the surface almost as good as the day they were manufactured. But cottons and other materials fall to pleces as soon as they are exposed to the light of day. We have found any number of trunks and chests, in which for over 50 years have been locked the treasures, jewels and clothes of persons lost in the lakes while traveling from the East to the West shortly after the Civil War.” s Hopes to Find Relatives. Bringing forth from her beg some pictures of daguerreotypes of & man and 3 woman clothed in the quaint costumes of Civil War days, Mrs. Goodman said, “these are some daguerreotypes which we recovered from a ship lost shortly after the Civil War. Many of the pas- sengers were en route to California and I hope that by means of these daguer- Teotypes to locates the relatives of those who were lost.” ‘When not engaged in exploring the mysterious contents of sunken ships, Mrs. Goodman is writing her exper- {iences, or plays for Broadway. She is an officer in the Playwright's Club, one of the founders of the progressive party and the founder of the Ad-Craft Club, one of the pioneer advertising women's clubs. She is an active member of the National League of American Pen Women and & member of the Woman's Many smaller ships have been sal- City Club of Washington.
