Geary and United States District Attorney Joseph K. Woods gre in danger of finding them- selves behind prison bars on ac- count of their acts in Alaska. Ex-Re- celver Alexander McKenzie, who was ap- pointed by Judge Noyes in July, 1900, to take charge of and work certain mining claims in the Nome district, is now serv- ing out a sentence of one year in the Ala- meda County Jail. Dudley Dubose will be brought down irom Nome as soon as the jee breaks up and navigation is open to serve six months in the same institution. Yesterday Mr. Madison, representing At- torney E. 8.

Some Interesting Charges. In the affidavit of Lindblom the follow- 1g constitutes an interesting part of the t hat immediately gfter said ord de by Judge Noves, said Mc; possessed defendants respectively of the placer described in the complaints in said ac- and taking possession of eaid mines, worked the same, extracting gold dust there: from of the value of more than one hundred thousand dollars (5100,000). That after sald orders were made the defendants in each of the cases presented to said Arthur H. Noyes, Judge of said court, and to the said court, a petition for the allowance of an apnfial from sa order, together with an undertaking on appeal and an assignment of errors; but the said Arthur H. Noyes refused to grant said petition or to aliow an appeal from any of sald orders. That thereafter, on the 29th day of August, 1900, the Honorable W. W. Morrow, one of the Judges of this court, made orders allow- ing appeals in the said cases, and directing that writs of supersedeas shouid issue therein out of this court, directed to the sald Alex- ander McKenzie and the said Arthur H. Noyes, commanding said Noyes to desist from any further proceedings on account of sald orders, and commanding said McKenzie to restore to the defendants in said actions all property which the said McKenzie had taken or re- celved as receiver. Held the Gold Dust. had been nzie dis- That on the l14th day of September, 1900, certified coples of said order allowing sald appeal in some of said cases, Wwith other papers, and the said writs of supersedeas in all of said cases, were filed in the office of the clerk of the said District Court. and a certified copy of sald writ of supersedeas was served upon the said Arthur H. Noyes and also upon the said Alexander McKenzie in the cases hereinbefore mentioned, and at the same time demand was made upon said Alexander McKenzie that he return to the defendants in said actions the gold and gold dust which he had taken from the claims described in the complaints in sald actions. which said gold dust so taken by said McKenzie from said claims and then in possession was of the Value of about $200,000. That said McKenzie refused to deliver said goid dust, or any part thereof, to the defendants in said actions, or either of them, and refused to comply With a4 writ of supersedeas; whereupon applica- tion was made by the defendants, through their counsel, to the said Arthur H. Noyes for an_order directing the enforcement of the writ of supersedeas issued by this court. That said Arthur H. Noyes then and there declined to make said order, saying that the matter was out of his hands. That on the 1ith day of September, 1900, the defendants in said ac- tions, through theéir counsel, again requested said Arthur H. Noyes to make an order direct- ing ‘the enforcement of said Writ of super- sedeas, but the said Noyes then and there stated and declared that the order appointing the receiver was not appealable, and that the defendants were not entitled to an_appeal. Ordered Vault Guarded. That on said 15th day of September, 1900, the said Arthur H. Noyes gave instructions to one C. L. Vawter, who was then United States Marshal for said district, to place a guard over the vaults containing said gold dust which had been so taken by said McKenzle from sald mines described In the complaints in said ac- tions, and to prevent access thereto by any person. That the object of sald order, as com- plainant is informed and believes, was to de- feat the execution of said writ of supersedeas. That in and by an affidavit made by said COOPER’S PROBATE SEAL WAS HIS OWN DEVICE Important Correspondence on the Subject Is Received From Eng- lish Authorities. Captain of Detectives Seymour recelv- | ed from the State Department at Wash- | ington yesterday the correspondence that | had passed between the department and | Embassador Choate, at London, and be- | tween the Embassador and the British Foreign Office, as to the seal of the ‘“High Court of Chancery” used by “Sir” Harry Westwood Cooper on the ajleged will of Miss Adelaide Chadwick to hoodwink the people of Crockett as to his wealth. The most important document was the testimony of Alfred Musgrave, one of the registrars of the principal Probate Regis- try of the High Court of Justice, London, taken before Sir F. Lushington, Chief Magistrate of the Police Courts of Lon- don. It was in effect that the form of grant used by Cooper was totally different to any grant of probate or administration made in that country, and there was no jurisdiction to issue probate or adminis- tration except from the Principal and Dis- trict Probate Registers. In all cases seals were attached to the grants; they were large seals of impressions on wax. There was no Probate Judge named “James K. Bowman,” and the judges did not sit at Somerset. The Chancery Division of the High Court had no jurisdiction to grant probate or administration. All grants were made on parchment paper. The stamps and seals used by Cooper were not of any stamps or seals used in the Pro- bate Division of the High Court of Jus- tice. ———— many men like to stand around and ‘while some other man lifts.

Noyes ordered and directed States Marshal for the District of Alaska to take possession of the portion of sald vaults containing the gold and gold dust held by sald McKenzie as receiver, place a guard over it, and not permit said McKensie access to sald ts. the ~ Units That in and by an affidavit made by sald Vawter, in the said cyntempt_ proceedings, it | further appears that on the Isth day of Sep- 00, he was ordered by said Arthur i to go to the safe deposit buflding, and to place a guard over the vaults used by McKenzie and not to allow any one, especially McKenzie and the parties interested, to have access to the boxes in which the gold and gold dust =0 held by sald McKenzie was so con- tained until the further order of eaid District Court. Gold Dust Safely Held. > The records herein further show that on the h day of September, 1900, sald Arthur H. in the presence of T. J. Geary, stated C. L. Vawter, Marshal as aforesaid, to “'g0 ahead and keep possession of the gold dust, and do not let McKenzie or any of the pa ties go near it.”” That at the same time Ar- thur ‘H. Noyes said, in the presence of sald Geary, that he, sald Noyes, did not think the order appointing McKenzié receiver was an appealable order, but that assuming it was, the only supersedeas that could be effec- tive was the one staying proceedings, and that on the record as it was there.was no justifi- cation for defendants demanding the Treturn of the property and that the property (mean- ing ihe S04 dust hereinbefore referred tb) €hould be held to meet the final judgment said District Court. U That on the 16th day of September, 1900, said Arthur H. Noyes stated to T. J. Gealy that the only order which he, said Arthur H. Noyes, could make in said cases was one staying pro- ceedings, ‘“leaving that property” (referring to the gold dust aforesald) ‘‘where it was." That on the same day, to wit: Sunday, the 16th day of September, ‘1900, said Arthur H. Noyes stated to Geary, as attorney for said McKenzie, that said McKenzle ‘‘should turn over the mines and surrender them” (referring to the mines described in the complaints in said actions) ‘“‘but should retain the gold dust’” (referring to the gold dust hereinbefore men- tioned). The affidayits are very voluminous ahd circumstantial. The court took the matter under advisement and will consider the complaints together. The basis of all the proceedings is contempt of court. OPPOSE CREATION OF ASSESSMENT DISTRICT Taxpayers Say Opening of Buchanan Street Should Be Paid For by Those Benefited. The publication in Sunday’s Call of the proposed Intention of the Board of Public Works to create an assessment district for the purpose of opening and grading Buchanan street, between Thirteenth and Hermarn, caused a number of property owners in the immediate vicinity of the block to make a vigorous protest against assessing any but the property owners along the line of the improvement. All day yesterday Secretary Leo Park was besieged by laxpayers, who, while they favor ghe opening of the street, con- tend that The work should be pald for by assessing the frontage on the block self. After listening to a dozen protestants, who called attention to the fact that the signers of the petition to have the im- rovement effected owned no proj The block to be graded, Secretaty Bark ag. vised that the protast be reduced to writ- ing, which the protestants promised to do at once. —_———— Newspaper Thief in Court. George Young, 739 Guerrero street, ap- peared in Judge Fritz's court yesterday on the charge of petty larceny for steal- ing papers from residences on Guerrero street Sunday morning. He pleaded that he was under the influence of liquor at the time and took the papers to play news- boy. The Judge continued the case till to-day and meantime Young remains in ‘labor organizations in existence LABOR MATTERS AT STANDSTILL Leaders Hesitate About Making Aggressive Movement. Organizer Pierce Is Accused of Fomenting Labor Disturbance. —_— < Strike matters are practically at a standstill. Every union meeting held last night declared in favor of the slogan, ‘“More pay and less hours.” No definite action, however, has been taken by tho Cooks' and Waliters' Alllance. Secretary Rosenberg said last night that the San Francisco Labor Council had so far done nothing to change conditions. The ad- vice of its leaders, though sought by workingmen, has resulted in a temporiz- ing policy. Two bodies of organized labor unions covering different fields of actlon, practi- cally control the labor mart. One is the Bullding Trades Council and the other the Ban Francisco Labor Council. Be- tween the two there is no harmony of action. Louis Chester, chairman of the executive committee of the Bullding Trades Councll, makes the following statement: Most of the blame for this unwise labor dls- turbance when traced down to its original source falls on the head of Jefferson D. Plerce, Who through irony of fate holds a commiasion from Samuel Gompers, president of the Ameri- can Federatlon of fabor, as '‘general organ- izer.” Mr. Plerce came to San Francisco in January last, ;and as he had drawn down a stipend from 'the Federation of $410 for his organizing expenses in Los Angeles during the month of December, “he just took a little much-needed rest,” and then proceeded to recite his stereotyped speeches for the benefit of the workingmen of the city at a rate of $10 per charter. It was. easy. Restaurant employes and other miscellaneous trades all sent for charters—that magical instrument which ac- cording to Plerce can in less than twenty-four hours radically change ecconomic conditions that have existed for several decades. Higher wages, shorter hours, stringent regulations, immediately when the charter arrives—all these Plercean promises for 510 only; it was cheap, and the roll of the embryo thing, which was So erringly called a union, swelled into thousands, and the head of the man of many promises swelled also. His first attempt to deliver the goods took place on the first of Mey, and, of course, resulted in a failure. The 'effect’ of this faflure is what may prove disastrous to both the unions and the indus- tries of San Francisco. Mr. Pierce is not an organizer; he is a dis- turber, interloper and meddler. He has tried hard to disrupt and ruin some of the best he has prom- ised to put the Bullding Trades Council out of business; he has attacked the United Brother- hood of Railway Employes and most shame- fully abused its officers; and he it was who urged the machinists of the Union Iron Works to “‘cinch the Scotts” by striking some three weeks ago and preventing the launching of the Ohio if the demands were not acceded to; and it was this man Plerce who, on the same occasion so ardently expressed the hope that President MeKinley and Irving M. Scott would be the only persons present at the launching of the battleship Ohlo. But such expressions and actions do not represent the sentiment of the organized workingmen of San Francisco. It is a strange and forelgn volce that repre- sents nobody and which has absolutely nothing to lose. The organized mechanics of this city are as loyal and patriotic as the best Ameri- can citizen In any community. True trades unionism marching behind the stars and stripes should not be confused with the Plercean product that wabbles behind the red flag and keeps time to the funeral march. No action was taken yesterday by the executive committee of the San Francisco Labor Council in the matter of a general boycott placed in_their hands at the meeting ‘held on Friday night. In faet, the conditions, legal and otherwise, that confront them, are such that they are compelled to make haste slowly. s s Poultry Pickers Meet. The Poultry and Game Dressers’ Union last night elected the following named officers: President, George Meyers; vice president, John Goss: treasurer, Bdward Caroslo; finan. clal secrefary, Emanuel Campagno; recording secretary, Thomas Collas; sergeant-at-arms, Harry Dwyer. S Horseshoers Sympathize. The Journeymen Horseshoers' Union has indorsed the stand taken' by the Cooks' and Waiters’ Alliance and the various-branches of the carriage workers’ trade now out on strike. The action of the master horseshoers in refusing to shoe the horses of the union hackmen was condemned. LOCAL BREVITIES. PETITION IN INSOLVENCY.—Samuel P. Brown, a clerk, San Francisco, filed a petition in insolvency yesterday in the United States District Court. He owes $1934 72 and has no assets. CHARGE NOT SUSTAINED.—The charge of burgiary against Rose Finley was dismissed by Judge Mogan yesterday on the ground that there was no evidence to sustain it. She was accused of stealing $117, a diamond pin and a revolver from the room of Fred F. Buhr, 310 Ellis street, last Wednesday night. COLONEL DICKEY'S WILL.—The will of Colonel James R. Dickey, who died on the 6th inst., was filed for probate yesterday. Deced- ent bequeaths his entire estate to his son, James Frank Dickey, who has long managed his father's business. The will was executed November 21, 1900, and was witnessed by Charles H. Hanlon and William G. Cousins. CAUGHT STBALING LEAD.—James Con- nelly_was arrested by Officers David Sullivan and Pat Perry at the Stauffer Chemical Works on Alameda and Utah streets yesterday. Con- nelly, with another man who so far has evaded the "vigilance of the officers, have been steal- ing lead from the company’'s works for some time past. Cornelly was caught on the in- side of the fence passing out the stolen plun- der to his companion. —_———— Has Returned Home. Mr. and Mrs, M.

" Important Questions to be Presented to and Decided by the Members---The Candidates for Grand Worthy President . — HE Grand Aerle, Fraternal Order of Eagles, will convene in Pioneer Hall this morning at 10 o’clock. More than a hundred delegates, representing various branches of the order in this country, will sit in con- vention. Everything is in readiness for the session. The hall has been tatstefully decorated by the local Eagles. Emblems of the order, potted plants and fiowers have been used profusely in beautifying the hall. H. R. Littlefield, grand worthy president of the organization, will call the conven- tion to order. Committees on credentials will be appointed and will report in the afternoon. It is not expected that much business will be transacted the first day. In the evening there will be a general re- ception by San Francisco Eagles at the hall to the grand officers, delegates and vititing members. An excellent literary programme has been arranged and re- freshments will be served. A. C. Berthier, ex-Recorder of this city, is chairman of the committee on reception and entertainment. He was busily en- gaged yesterday receving delegates and making them feel at home and presenting them with suitable badges. One of the leading members of the order sald ‘yesterday that there was a feeling among KEagles all over the country to place the order on a much better footing than it has been in the past. The rapid growth of the organization, he said, had brought about the admission of a great KNOWLTON HESE OUT ON BAIL Sisters of Accused Man Come to His Rescue With Money. Major Joseph Knowliton was brought from Watsonville by Detective 0'Dea yes- terday morning and booked at the City Prison on the charge of felony embezzle- ment preferred against him Ly his broth- er-in-law, James H. Doolittle of the St. Nicholas Hotel. Knowlton was _accom- panied by his two_sisters, Mrs. Lucy E. Card of Watsonville and Mrs. Abby E. Peterson of Santa Cruz, and they quali- fied on a bond for $2000 for his release, which was accepted by Judge Mogan. The preperty offered as security is situated on Main street, Watsonville, and is valued at over $10,000. Knowlton was promptly released and left the prison with his sis- ters. Krowlton declined to make a statement as he had not consulted an attorney. ‘It is only a domestic affair,” he said, “and |T expect it will all be straightened out this afternoon or to-morrow.” It is un- erstood that if the case goes to trial nowlton will engage the services of At- tcrney George A. Knight to defend him. —_— e ee————— Delightful Ocean Trips. Steamers Santa Rosa and Queen, saillng every Sunday and Wednesday for. San Diego, stopping only at Santa Barbara and Los Angeles ports.
