NOYEB TALKS BACK
ALASKA FGJERAL JUDGE MAKES
REPLY TO THE CHARGES
AGAINST HIM
DENIAL OF EVERY COUNT
Says He Had So Communication
With Either McKenzie or Chipps
Ilegnrding Litigation Be
fore the Court.
WASHINGTON, Aug. The depart
ment of Justice today made public the
answer of Judge Arthur H. Noyes to the
charges prefened against him in the ad
ministration of his office of United State 3
district judge at Nome, Alaska. Judge
Noyes details the story of his trip to
Alaska, giving an account of the ac
quaintances made upon that Journey,
more particularly the acquaintance of
Messrs. McKenzie and Chipps, who have
figured so largely In connection with the
charges against the Judge, and denies
that he had any communication with
either of these gentlemen with respect
to the business of his court on his
Journey or at any other time. He takes
up in detail the various charges against
him, and specifically denies each and
every allegation tnereof. He describes
the chaotic conditions existing at Noma
at the time of his ai rival, wherein he
states he found in the neighborhood of
20,000 people of all classes, and the ut
most confusion and disorder prevailing.
He sets out that every lot of ground in
the whole town had two or more claim
ants, that possession was held In a great
many Instances by armed force, and that
he was besieged upon every hand imme
diately upon his arrival by parties seek
ing relief against those whom they
claimed to be wrongfully and unlawfully
In possession of their property, divesting
it of value and shipping the proceeds out
of the country and the jurisdiction of
the court.
He then details his efforts to organize
his court and the importunities to which
he was subjected by litigants and coun
sel, and describes favors that were at
tempted to be thrust upon him by solic
itous individuals.
APPOINTMENT OF M KENZIE.
He recounts the circumstances under
which he appointed Alexander McKen
zie receiver of certain mining claims, al
leging that it had not been prearranged
that McKenzie should act as receiver,
but that McKenz'e's name was suggest
ed along with others, to one of whom the
place had been tendered before It was
offered to McKenzie. The judge reaffirms
the wisdom of that choice and compli
ments McKenzle's administration of the
property.
Defending his appointment as receiver
for the placer mining claims, he denies
that he first suggested that remedy and
justifies his action upon the ground that
there were scattered alorg the beach thou
sands of unemployed men who had been
lured to Nome by the fabulous tales of
wealth, which had been given out and
predicated upon the result of the workings
of the previous year; that these men
were unemployed, wi:hout food or money
and desperate, and that to have closed
down by Injunction the operation of the
placer claims would have been to have
added largely to the number of unem
ployed ln the camp. He says that he
followed In this respect the precedents
established by former judges of the dis
trict of Alaska, and adds copies of a de
cree In a similar case. He admits that
in most cases where he appointed re
ceivers the representations made to the
court were largely untrue as to the ca
pabilities of the mines. This, however,
was not determined until later, and his
action was predicated upon the fairness
of the presentation of the case. This,
he says, accounted for the comparative
ly excessive expense of operation by the
receivers. He also claims that as an ad
ditional precaution for the protection
of the parties in; interest, he required In
all cases, when either of the parties re
quested It, that the gold dust realized by
the receiver should be deposited at the
safe deposit vault, not subject to with
drawal except by order of the court with
notice to the parties interested, and also,
that he further ordered ln each case,
when requested, that all parties having
any interest or claiming Interest in the'
property might at any time go upon the
property worked by the receiver for the
purpose of observing the work, and might
be present at each and every cleaning
up made by the receiver, and that he, ln
every way possible, tried to throw every
safeguard about th© property in the
hands of the receiver; that it might be
conserved for the benefit of the party
who might finally be adjudged its owner.
HAWAIIAN* WAV!" PROTECTION.
Petition Congress to Impose a Duty
on Coffee Imports.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.—The Interior
department has received a resolution
passed by the Hawaiian legislature pray
ing that congress Impose a duty on all
coffee Imported from other countries,
"and In this way protect that Industry In
Hawaii arid other parts of the United
States." . -:
The resolution ' will be forwarded to
congress at the opening of next session.
It says that the coffee Industry ' n Hawaii
is now in a depressed cond.T'on and is
threatened to be abandoned on account
of low price and removal of protective
duties on all coffee Imported Into the re
public of Hawaii before the annexation,
and the large amounts imported Into the
United States from Brazil, Mexico, Cen
tral America and other countries free of
duty. The resolution refers to the large
coffee area, the great amount Of Ameri
can capital Invested there and Inability
to compete with the low prices where
cheap labor Is employed, as in the coun
tries mentioned.

OF INTEREST. TO GRAIN MEN.
Illinois Law on Coloring of Grain
Held Unconstitutional.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9.—-A decision was ren
dered by Judge Tuley in the circuit court
here today which is of Interest to grain
dealers and elevator nwn all over the
country. The decision practically declares
the Illinois statute governing the color
ing of grain unconstitutional, and says
that a man has a right to do anything
with his own property so long as he does
not menace the welfare of the com
munity or impair the public health.
In nearly every state there Is a law
against the practice.of fumigating grain,
and the decision of Judge Tuley may
have a widespread effect.

WAIT ON THE STRIKE
HESITANCY SHOW'S IX SOME LINES
OF TRADE BECAUSE OF STEEL
SITUATION**
GENERAL BUSINESS IS GOOD
Grain Prices, Especially for Corn,
Hold at High Level—Shoe Trade
Ha»i Improve Woolen Mur
het In Better Shape
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.— R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say: There is no complaint from
any part of the country over the volume
of. current distribution of merchandise
and what hesitation is observed in gen
eral trade is chiefly due to the uncertain
ty as to the duration of the labor
troubles in the steel manufacture. Col
lections continue good, better weather
has helped the agricultural classes,
money Is easy and stocks of merchandise
carried are not above the average for
this season of year, particularly in the
West and Southwest.
Relief is felt In all departments of the
Iron and steel Industry now that uncer
tainty is ended and the pos.tlon of tho
contestants made clear. Now the issue
must be determined permanently, and a
settled condition will greatly facilitate
operations. Structural, wire and plate
mills are not affected, and the produc
tion of rails will not be- materially cur
tailed. Supplies of bars and tubes will
be restricted, and quotations In these
lines tend to follow the-advance already
secured for sheets and hoops. A bM
feature Is the Increased Importation of
tin plates, which had been manufactured
In sufficient quantity to about meet the
domestic demand, Imports in the last
fiscal year being valued at only J3.770,
--002. against $35,746,920 ten years ago. Pur
chasers of many forms of finished steel
are showing much eagerness to place
contracts, while, on the other hand,
pig iron is in less urgent request.
Having no further ammunition in heat |
and drought reports for hoisting prices, j
speculators have turned suddenly to the '
Dther extreme and demonstrate that
early frosts threaten alt late planted
corn. The result has been a spot quo
tation at this city of more than to cents
ill the week and the practical elimina
tion of exporters from domestic mar
kets. A heavy demand from domestic
millers and phenomenal Atlantic ex
ports give strength to prices of wheat.
As the season advances it becomes more
apparent that foreign crop losses will
necessitate unprecedented shipments
from the United States and with the
settlement of the strike on the Pacific
•oast there will be a movement of great
magnitude.
Eastern shoe manufacturers find con
ditions as favorable as last week, while
reports from the West are still better. |
Orders from the drought-affected regions
are no longer countermanded and earlier '
cancellations are being; restored. Leather
Is steady and no alteration in prices is !
anticipated.
Prospects continue to Improve In the j
market for woolen goods, and as the j
manufacturer enjoys greater activity :
prices for raw material are hardening. \
Little change Is seen in actual sales, but !
there is a growing disposition to hold for
the better terms that many In the trade !
consider Inevitable. Cotton goods are I
quiet and weak. j
"Failures for. the week were 173 In the j
United States, against 177 last year, and i
11 in Canada, against 23 last year.

WEEK IX WALL STREET.
On the Whole Stocks Show Some-
what Greater . Strength.
NEW-. YORK, .Aug. 9.—Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say:
Strength and speculative confidence re
appeared In the stock market after the
middle of the week, accompanied by an
increase in the activity. The change ln
this respect was the more striking be
cause the week opened with a very de
pressed feeling in the stock exchange
circles, and prices for several days de
clined,- in some cases In a decided man
ner,, ..The unexpected ending of last
Saturday's conference between the heads
61 the Amalgamated association of steel
workers, and the United States Steel
corporation m a disagreement, and the
announcement by the labor union that
there would be a- general strike instead
of the pacification of the existing trouble
Was calculated to have demoralizing ef
fect upon a market which had already
experienced a liquidation and decline on
the damage to. the corn crop and the
strike. Bearish feelings consequently
predominated when the market opened
last Monday and there was heavy sell- '
ing for both long and shorts In the steel
stocks. Nevertheless, after a time It was
seen that the United States Steel stocks j
were receiving powerful support at about
40 for the common and below 90 for the
preferred. Doubts were also cast on the
ability of the labor union ' leaders to
make good their threats of closing the
majority of the pla-nts of the steel cor
poration and their course in first stating
that the general strike order would not
be issued for a week and then sending it
out forthwith, produced an impression
of weakness on their part. This was fol
lowed by news that the steel corporation
was promptly putting Into execution Its
plan of opening, one by one, Its non
union mills which had been shut down,
and that thus far the plan had been com
pletely successful.
On this the steel stocks hardened and
on Thursday rumors that there were re
newed reports of a* settlement caused
sharp advances In United States Steel
shares, the common rising to 43 and the
preferred to 92.
This movement would have natura'ly
caused sharp advances In United States
SteeL to cover shorts, and in the general
market, but the railroad list was also
influenced in a bullish way by Inde
pendent factors. The chief of these was
the better view the street takes of the
corn crop situation. Actual Improve-
I ment in the.corn outlook is on the whole
i slight and it ls generally thought to
day's government crop report will be
gloomy as regards the probable total
', yield of corn. On the other hand, the
, very favorable conditions in regard to the
: wheat harvest have assumed greater
I prominence, and the fact, insisted on by
many'authorities, that the West and its
railroads are not entirely dependent on
the corn crop for prosperity, Is accorded
due* weight. ?/„ .'.-:
