EURIOUS FOR
JUDOCE NOYES
"MAY BE REMOVED BY THE
PRESIDENT.
ITS POLITICAL EFFECTS
San Franciseo Decision May Cause
New Deal Politically in
North Dakota.
Minneapolis, Feb. 12-A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
The general sentiment among those
who are interested in the Cape Nome
mining scandals is that Judge Arthur
'H. Noyes will be removed by the
president if he does not resign.
It was said at the department of
justice today that impeachment pro
ceedings would not be necessary, as
the president had full power to act.
There was talk this morning of a re
vival of the congressional investiga
tions which were so sensationally
started sometime ago in both branches
of congress, but it is not at all likely
that anything will be done on that
line, as the decision rendered yester
day in San Francisco by judges who
stand high is regarded here as a sub
stantial victory for the anti-Noyes
McKenzie element.
Frank B. Kellogg, who was in San
Francisco last October, when Judge
Morrow first ordered McKenzie before
him for contempt, and appeared as
attorney for McKenzie, is now in
Washington. He inclines to the
opinion that there was an appeal in
McKenzie's case to the supreme court,
in fact, a writ of certiorari is now
pending before that tribunal on the
question of jurisdiction and the right
of Judge Morrow to order McKenzie
before him.
In a political way the decision at
San Francisco will have a marked
effect on the politics of North Dakota.
McKenzie has had very strong back
ing in that state by the republicans and
Senator Hansbrough has stood by him
faithfully. If the San Francisco ver
dict stands it means a new deal in
North Dakota.
George H. Sullivan of Stillwater,
who is here, says that he has a
brother who has a mining claim ad
joining that of the now famous Mc
Kenzie property. Sullivan insists that
'the appointment of McKenzie was un
warranted. It is further stated that
Clerk of Court Dickey was not dis
charged by Judge Noyes, but that he
resisned voluntarily.
THEY REMAIN CLOSED
Topeka Saloons Shut Down
and Fixtures Are Being
Removed.
Topeka, Feb. 12-The local liquor
situation is practically unchanged to
day. The saloon men are keeping
under cover and their doors are se
curely locked. They apparently mean
to keep them closed and preparations
are being made to remove bars and
fixtures.
Last night a few bars were removed
and stored away. All bartenders are
out of work and the saloon men are
standing around talking over the situa
tion. Beer wagons have stopped their
usual rounds.
"I think that all'joints' were closed
last night," said Chief Stahl today.
"All that I visited were quiet. I did
not go across the river. There was
talk that one or two were running,
but if so they were upstairs and not
where they could be easily found.
' "The committee seems to be well
pleased and thinks that the 'jointists'
are thoroughly cowed. People don't
let me in on all news, and I do not
get anything definite, *but I think I
.have a better chance to know what is
going on than some people, and I be
lieve there is an organization of from
800 to 1,000 persons with officers from
colonel down to corporals, ready to
move on the saloons if they do not
close up.
MEETS WITH FROST
Kansas Saloon Wrecker's Recep.
tion by Chicago Is De
cidedly Chilly.
Chicago, Feb. 12-Mrs. Carrie Na
tion arrived in Chicago at 8:40 to
night,coming over the Rock Islan
road and within 15 minutes afte
reaching the city was facing a some
what diminutive audience gatherec
u.nder the auspices of the national W
0, T. U. in Willard halL
On her trip toward Chicago she de
a number of short addresse
the rear end of the car, speak
nt-neatly every station where
a~paiade.
.eoming was marked by n
ltuodent, contrary to the ei
of the ladies who had in
to visit Chicago. Durin
- = a $mittee called upon Chic
of Police Kipley and asked him to de
tail a strong force of detectives to
await Mrs. Nation's arrival at the
depot, a.sn-ing him that unless she
was fully p;.otected she would be in
danger from the mob which was at
the depot. The chief laughed and
said he guessed there would be no
danger to the lady and if he told the
policeman on the beat to look in about
train time it would be sufficient.
The ladies were positive and the
chief finally relented sufficiently to
promise one lone officer who would,
he declared, have nothing to do. Ev
ents proved that the chief was right
and the ladies withdrew. A very small
crowd was at the depot and it was for
the most part composed of members
of the reception committee.
The reception of Mrs. Nation oc
casioned no excitement whatever and
provoked but little curiosity among
people in the depot. She entered her
carriage at once and was driven rapid
ly to Willard hall, five squares distant.
After giving, a history of the tem
perance work in Kansas, Mrs. Nation
denounced the sale of liquor in Chi
cago and asked all who were in sym
pathy with her to go out with her
and destroy the saloons, as they were
illegal.
"While in Chicago I will not at
tempt to smash any saloons,," she said,
"bunt tomorrow in company with two
polhcemen I intend to visit as many
of thbse places as possible and will
invite the saloon keepers to come to
Willard hall and hear what I have to
say about the wickedness of selling
liquor. I will also visit Mayor Har
rison and Chief of Police Kipley to
morrow and tell them what I think
of city officials who will allow so
many dives and low resorts to run as
prevails in Chicago. If you can't get
rid of those crime breeding places by
peaceable means, why, I say use force.
All you women and men who believe
in God and our cause arm yourselves
and go out and smash every one of
those hell holes that you can find.
Don't be afraid; the Lord is on our
side and will take care of you, no
matter whether you get arrested or
not. "
Mrs. Nation will leave here tomor
row night for Topeka to stand trial
for saloon smashing.
CETTING NEAR HOME
Mrs. Nation Finds Grandson
Managing Tough ,"Joint"
in Chicago.
Chicago, Feb. 13-Mrs. Nation left
for Topeka tonight. Before leaving
Chicago she announced that as soon as
she had "cleaned up things" at home,
she would come back here, and if
things were not properly taken care of
by the authorities, she and her friends
would take matters into their own
hands, and to use her own expression,
"We will make souvenirs."
Her meeting with saloonkeepers,
which she announced that she would
carry out, did not materialize, and in
default of having them for an audi
ence she went once more to the saloon
at 290 State street, which she visited
last night, and in which her grandson
is manager, and delivered a talk to the
people she found there.
It was a motley throng, embracing
all classes. Mrs. Nation mounted a
table and for 15 minutes talked with
great energy, urging her hearers to
abandon the use and sale of liquor,
and denouncing in the most unmeas
ured terms all those who permitted its
sale anywhere in the city.
As she left the place she went up to
a woman who possessed a rich, black
eye and remarked: "My! My! What
a pity. Who gave that to you?"
"You would better ask your grand
son who gave it to me. He knows as
much about the giving of it as I do."
To this Mrs. Nation made no reply
but hastened out to her carriage.
This afternoon she addressed 1,500
- people at Willard hall, and then vis
iited a Turkish bath establishment.
Another meeting was held tonight
at Willard hall.
5 TAKING NEW TACK.
Kansas Court Enjoins Renting of Build
ings for Saloons.
Topeka, Kans, Feb. 18-In the dis
riot court here today Judge Hazen al
llowed nine out of 19 injunctions
filed against the owners of buildings
I where saloons are located, to restrain
I them from renting the buildings for

Saloon Raid Results in Work for
Doctor.
Kansas City, Feb. 13-A special to
the Star from Winfield, Kans., says:
In today's saloon raid several shots
were fired by both sides. Mrs. Emma
Henry was hit in the mouth, either by
la bullet or a piece of glass.
Charles and Henry Schmidt were in
the "joint" at the time of the raid
and made a show of resistance.
Charles drew a revolver and was cat
- in the face with a hatchet, wielded,
he says, by a minister. Several street
fights followed.
Mayor Albright has called a meeting
of the council to consider means for
preventing further trouble.
FOR GENERAL UPRISING.
Kansas to Be Swept by Temperance
Crusade.
Hutchinson. Kans., Feb. 12-Mrs. i
W. P. Hutchinson, state president of
the W. C. T. U., and other state
officers drafted a manifesto here today
to be sent to the W. C. T. U. unious
all over the state urging a generalup
rising against the saloon. Mass meet
ings are urged to adopt resolutions
calling upon Governor Stanley to. en
force the prohibition law and to "stir
up the people."
The manifesto, coming on top of
that adopted by the Kansas State
Temperance union, at Topeka, will,
it is believed, result in a revival of
the enthusiastic crusade that led to
the election of John P. St. John, the
prohibition governor.

ADOPTED BY
CONFERENCE
DICK'S BILL REPLACES SEN
ATE PROVISION.
NO MORE TOBASCO SAUCE
Bracing and Eagling Are Placed
in Same Category as
Fighting.
Washington, Feb. 12-Representa
tive Dick's bill concerning hazing at
West Point military academy today
was adopted by the conference of the
two houses of congress on the mili
tary academy bill in lieu of the senate
provision on the question of hazing.
Some minor verbal changes were made
and the eleventh section of the bill
was stricken out entirely, but the
changes do not alter the spirit of the
measure.
The amendment renders it manda
tory that the superintendent of the
academy shall suppress "challenge
fighting and every form of hazing at
the academy."
It also provides for the dismissal of
all cadets in any way connected with
fights or challenges to fight and also
of "any cadet who shall direct, invite
or request any candidate or cadet to
eat or drink anything for the purpose
of punishing, annoying or harassing
him, or who shall without lawful au
thority direct or require any candidate
or cadet to brace or engage in any
form of physical exercise." It also is
i specified that no cadet dismissed for
F either of these causes shall be re-in
stated or reappointed in the academy
and also that no such cadet shall
ever be appointed to any office in the
army, navy or marine corps.
The provision requiring cadets to

- the infraction of the laws under pen

SAME OLD CRY
Democrats Raise Their Usual
Hue Against Extravagance
in Congress.
Washington, Feb. 13-The house
devoted today, except the hour and a
half consumed in counting the elect
oral vote and promulgating the result
of the presidential election, to the sun
dry civil appropriation, bill. General
debate upon this measure was com
pleted, buc little actual progress was
made with the bill.
During the debate the opposition
opened a general asssault upon the ex
travagance of the present congress.
Bell of Colorado, Richardson of Ten
nessee. and Cochran of Missouri, in
turn making speeches. Cannon of Illi.
nois and Moody of Massachusetts de
fended the record of congress in the
matter of appropriations.
Fifteen of the 134 pages of the bill
were disposed of.
The sundry civil bill was taken up
when the session opened and Bell of
Colorado, a member of the appropria
tions committee, took the floor with a
speech against "the unprecedented ex
travagance of the present congress."
He said it was time the people became
alarmed at the rapid growth of ex
penditures. So callous had congress
become to vast increases in the approp
riations, he said, that it was considered
almost disreputable to call attention
to the extravagance of the government.
He produced figures to show that in a
single decade the per capita cost of
carrying on the governmental machin
ery had increased from $4.75 to over
$10.
W. L. Yancy, Paducah, Ky., writes:
"I had a severe case of kidney disease
and three of the best physicians in
southern Kentucky treated me without
success. I was induced to try Foley'e
Kidney Cure. The first bottle gave im.
mediate relifs and three hottles cured
me permanently. I gladly recommend
this wonderful remedy." Holmes A
