Now, that the great railroad builder is dead, the interests which for several vears have controlled the majority of the stock of the Southern Pacific propose to take a more active part in the operation of the system. The first step to be taken is the injection of new blood into the management. This news comes to me from an au- thoritative source. Charles H. Tweed, who was the con- fidential adviser of Mf.

The presidency of the Southern Pacific will be offered within a day or two to one of the ablest railroad men in America, a man who is now president of one of the greatest railroads in the East.

Since 183 James Speyer, the active head of the house, has been an important factor in the financial manage- ment of the company, and although neither he nor his partners are directors of the company the firm and investment interests represented by it are generally believed to be much more heavily inter- ested in Southern Pacific landing, as the ‘ROUND IV.

Their selection of an Eastern railroad man would greatly surprise the financial and raflroad worid, it having been expected that either H. E. Huntington or Charles H.

Such a selection would probably indicate, however, that Speyer & Co. and their friends are hereafter to dominate the Southern Pacific manage- ment. —_— FITZSIMMONS’ IMPRESSIONS, Sizes Up the Fighters and Makes Comparisons.

ALASKAN DISTRICT JUDGE NOYES AWAKENS WRATH OF MINE-OWNERS JUDGE NOYES, ISTS are shaken, pistols may flash and a Federal Judge may be im- peached because of the surprising | acts of Arthur P. Noyes, who wears the judiclal ermine in Alaska. Arriving at Nome on the 21st day of last July, he | n two days threw into the hands of a| receiver the cream of the Nome mining | claims. Now in a little over a month from his first assumption of judicial du- | ties at Nome wealthy men and reputable | attorneys are talking of trying to oust him from the bench, and are making most remarkable statements, many of which are actionable if the entire truth thereof cannot be conclusively demonstrated. There was a remarkable scene at Nome in the judicial presence, as related in of- ficial records of the proceedings one day early In August. Attorney Sam Knight | of this city, representing the Wild Goose | Mining and Trafling Company, of which | C. D. Lane is the president, accused Judge Noves in open court of appointing a re- | ceiver for the company’s claims before | any petition for such appointment had desire to prove, if the court please,” said Knight, “that the papers were not filed in this case until after an order had been made appointing a receiver, and fur- | ther; that no process was issued at that time; and that, so far as I know, it has not been issued at this time.” This took place August 3, eleven day after Alexander McKenzie, the personal | friend of Judge Noyes, had by him been | appointed receiver in five instances. No| move was made to strongly dispute | Knight's assertions. Attorney Hume, | Who represented the receiver, admitted | that no summons had been placed in the | hands of an officer. He explained that | the petition for, a receiver had not been | filed before the appointment was made because the clerk of the court could not be found. These statements are all in the transeript of the proceedings that has just been received by the United States | Court of Appeals for the Ninth District, | in this city. | Knight was not satisfied that there was | haste, and he went on as follows: ™ “I| think that your Honor will agree as to the | fact that the bill of complaint was pre- | sented to vour Honor on the afternoon of | the 234 day of July, and that your Honor | thereafter made an order appointing a receiver and the papers were subsequent- ly—that evening—handed to the deputy clerk of the court for filing, but that no process was issued in the case in which I now appear, involving claim No. 2 below, Nos. 10 and 11 above and No. 1 Nack- kela.” Millions of was placed dollars’ worth of property | in Alexander McKenzie's | One of these properties has a record of vielding $15,000 per day. The bond in each of five receiverships given to McKenzie was placed by Judge Noyes at $5000. According to suthentic advices the per- sons and companies who were operating the mines when McKenzie was put in pos- session were greatly surprised. Nineteen days later, as evidenced by the transcript, Judge Noyes had decided that there was no appeal from his order appointing Mc- Kenzie in the suit of Robert Chipps vs, Jafet Lunderberg, Erik O. Lindblom and John Brynteson. He reached the same conclusion in four other cases, which were as follows: O. Jose Comtois vs. P. H. Anderson, Herbert H. Webster vs. Michael J. Nackkela, Ole Klemetsen and Ole K. | Hatta; L. F. Melsing, H. L. Blake, D. B. ‘Libby, W, T. Hume and O. P. Hubbara vs. John P. Tornases; Henry Rogers vs. William A. Kjellman, C. D. Lane and the | Wild Goose Mining and Trading Company. | A large avray of legal talent battled | over the matter of appeal. On the side | of the recelver were Hubbard, Beeman & Hume: for the several defendarts Attor- neys Charles S. Johnson, Jackson, Hatch, Reddy, Campbell & Metson, Page, Mc-! Cutcheon and Harding & Knight strove. | Finding Judge Noyes obdurate in refus- ing to issue an order allowing an appeal, the contest was brought to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in thlsl city. The court was not in session. Judge | Morrow has iesued orders in the five cases where McKenzie is the receiver which will enable the defendants to have their contention considered by the Uniteq | States Circuit Court of Appeals. The orders also restrain the receiver from in- terfering in any manner or attempting to enforce Judge Noyes' order until the ap- peals can be heard and determined. The (bond was fixed by Judge Morrow at $35,000 in each case. E. S, Pillsbury appeared before Judge Morrow as attorney for P. H. Anderson. ‘When Judge Morrow’s order was iuued\ Mr. Pillsbury saw that it was instantly | sent to Nome by three mediums of trans- mission that there might be no failure to have it reach its destination. Other at- torneys took energetic measures. A writ of prohibition addressed to Judge Noyes may be the next thing to be sought.

Mr. Braslan says there is much talk at Nome concerning the relations of Judge Noyes and McKenzie. The story is cur- rent, so Mr. Braslan says, that McKenzie worked for the appointment of Noyes, and that Noyes telegraphed from Wash- ington for McKenzie to come to the na- tional capital to assist him. After the appointment Noyes and McKenzie were together at a St. Paul hotel. Noyes' law library was expressed to Seattle in the name of McKenzie at half-rate because of McKenzie's former connection with the Dakota division of the Northern Pacific Ralil On the arrival of the judicial Seattle, McKenzie attended to ~ of looking after hotel accom- transportation. The , .ty all sailed together from Seat. tle, Mr. Braslan says, on the steamer Senator. At Seattle, according to the stories of people now at Nome, McKen- zie said he would need the services of at least one hundred persons in the north. He invited certain Seattle men to go to Nome with him. Hubbard, an attorney now at Nome, and Chipps, who appeared as a complainant, asking for the appoint- ment of McKenzie as receiyer, were at Washington when Noyes' ‘appointment was pending. Hubbard is attorney for ali the plaintiffs. Noyes was confirmed le: than three months ago as Judge, the date being June 6, 1900. Chipps. McKenzie and the Senator as fellow pa 1 met Judge Noyes on the Senator upon his arrival at Nome,” said Mr. Braslan | yesterday. ‘‘He arrived at 9:30 a. m. Sa: urday, July 21.

At 2 p. m. of the ame day it was public talk on the streets of Nome that Hume of Hubbard, Bee- man & Hurie, was to be Deputy United States District Attorney. On the follow- ing Monday papers were filed by Huo- bard, Beeman & Hume asking for the ap- pointment of recelvers for five properties. | The hearings were ex parte in the Judge's chambers and the defendants were not in- | formed of the proceedings. On Tuesday McKenzie hired a big office and placed his sign on a window. It has been openly stated in Nome that McKenzie asked me. | morning if they would give him one-half of their | income if they were appointed receivers for mining properties.

He stopped all mining on the beach and caused the arrest of ten miners for trespass and also for felony. McKen- zle says that he has 250 to 300 mining claims to sell.” In addition to having their property placed in the hands of a recelver the de- fendants in the suits that have finaliy found their way to San Francisco have been asked to pay damages ranging from $200,000 down_to $50,000 each. Alexander McKenzie was a day laborer at Bismarck, N. D., when the Northern Pacific reached that place. He borrowed money and_ engaged in the soda water business and made a few hundred dollars. Next he was Sheriff and is credited wii having made $20,000 during his term. Then he was a lobbyist for the Northern Pa- cific Rallway. He was the reputed agent for the expenditure of large sums to pre- vent anti-lottery legislation. money. There are many_stories told con- cerning his sharpne: say that he is_the bane and boss of Nome Arthur H. Noyes came to Minneapolis from Indiana about nine years ago.
