Kid Carter says he will fight just the same kind of a whirlwind battle to-mer- row night when he meets George Gardner in the Mechanics’ Pavilion as he d against Jack Root the last time he ap- peared in this city. Carter rather fancles an easy time of it, but Gardner has many friends and backers, who think other- wise. Both men have finished their train- ing and are well under the required | weight—165 pounds. The betting is 100 to 75, with Kid Carter on the long end. Carter, by his dogged, ame, persistent showing against Jack 0ot, made many friends, who are willing to place their money on his chances with Gardner. Gardner has not vet displayed his_abllity before a San’ Francisco ring audience, although his few rounds with Moffatt on the Fourth of July have won him both respect and good words. ner is a shifty fighter, with a stiff, punish- ing punch.

Special Dispatch to The Call. EATTLE, Aug. 28—The bar at Nome | has asked for the removal of . Judge | Noyes. A petition to-President McKiniey, | signed by fifty-four attorneys, was for- | warded by the Senator, which arrived to- day, and it probably will be a race be- tween Judge Noyes and the petition to see which reaches the President first. The petition to the President is as follows: NOME, Alaska, Aug. 15, 190L To Willlam McKinley, President of the United States, Washington—Mr. President: The undersignéd, members of the bar, resid- ing and practicing law.at Nome, respectfully petition and represent as follows: That the Hon. Arthur H. Noyes, the present | Judge of. the District Court for the Second Division of the District of Alaska, is vacillat- ing and dilatory, weak and partial, negligent, careless and absolutely incompetent; that he has lost the confidence and respect of the at- torneys of the bar of his court and of the residents of his judicfal district; that his orders and decrees are violated and treated with open contempt; that the interposition of a fearless, competent and honest Judge . is urgently required at Nome to prevent further riot and bloodshed, to relfeve the congested calendar, to preserve law and order and to protect life, liberty and property. Therefore, we most respectfully petition you to remove said Arthur H. Noyes from his of- fice as Judge of the District Court for the Second Judicial Division of the District of Alaska, and that you, by reason of the emer- gency existing, immediately assign a Judge to succeed him in this judicial division. Judge J. P. Demattos, formerly of Whatcom but recently of the Teller City bar, arrfived on the Senator. In speaking of the Noyes case and the petition to President cKinley, he said there was no politicsin it. ~To prove this, Judge Demattos said that on the Saturday night before he left Nome he attended a mass meeting where a vote was taken on the question of having the President recall Judge Noyes, and out of 100 persons pres- ent there was a vociferous aye, and but one no. Said Judge Demattos: ‘‘The people of Nome took particular and positive oxception to Judge Noyes’ hasty departure and to what are now known there a3 his ‘deep sea injunctions’ —injunetions, orders and commissions granted and issued afier the Judge kad left Nome and gone aboard a ship bound for Seattle.” Judge Demattos says Noyes should be 1ecailed by all means, and the President should appoint an'able man from one of the mining States. .

M r OUISVILLE, Aug. Commandery No. 1 of Denver, be- fore an admiring throng of 18,000 | people and under the critical eves of a board of judges com- posed of three regular army officets and a representative of the Knights Templar, to-day captured first prige in the competi- tion for drill teams of the commanderies of the Knights. St. Bernard No. 35 of Chicago, the favorite with the majority of spectators, captured second place, while Golden Gate No. 16 of San Fran- cisco and Hanselman No. 16 of Cincinnati came in for third and fourth prizes, re- spectively. California Commandery No. 1, being the only mounted command, had no difficulty in capturing the trophy for the ; best appearance and drill on horseback. The drill was the feature of the day. | Interest was intensified *by the fact that it was the first since 1883, when Louis- ville carried off first honors. The contest | took place on Churchill Downs, the home of the Louisville Jockey Club. Long be- fore the exhibition began the regular | grandstand was filled, and by 1L a. m. the steps leading to it were covered. A temporary stand built across the track ‘was jammed full and thousands of people were on the field. It was a good humored crowd, ‘although the sun was hot enough to spoil some dispositions, and applauded the good work and the breaks of the perspiring contestants alike. Spectators in Ignorance. Not one of the commanderies went through the ordeal without mistakes which were evident to the crowd, but as honors seemed about even in this respect everybody except the judges was in com- pleté ignorance as to the winners until to-night, when the awards were made known before an immense through in the Horse Show building. When H. P. Grant, chairman of the drill committee and author of the tactics under which the contest was conducted, opened the sealed envelope containing the verdict and announced that the men from Colorado had captured the chief trophy, the applause was deafening. It was some time before Grant could make himself-heard again. The Colorado men marched on the fleld at the Downs this morning commanded | by Captain R. C. Kinkaid of Denver. They were second on the programme, followin the men from Washington. The crow ascertained in a hurry that - the com- mandery was a crack drill organization and applauded vigorously. The Denver men excelled in the sword movements. In the inspection there was never a per- ceptible movement of a muscle on the part of any member. The right wheel of latoons into line, the right by platoons rom line and platoons on right into line were superb. The commandery finished one minute after the warning recall and four minutes within the limit. A perfect storm of ap- plause followed the completion of the final movement. A number of beautiful display movements were executed by the gell:]ver Commandery before leaving the eld. Award of the Prizes. At 8 p. m., in the horse show building, brilliantly lighted with rows upon rows of seats occupied by .uniformed Knights and their ladies, the programme leading up to the award of prizes was begun. There instrumental music and exhibit drills by the commanderies which were awaliting the verdict of the board of Jjudges, When this was read the comman- deries took positions according to their standing in the awards. A score of Ken- tucky belles acting as sponsors presented the prizes. This over, the contestants and their sponsors led a grand march, after which dancing began. The trophies were of silver and were as follows: First prize, thirty-four pleces, valued at $3000; second prize, twenty-five pieces, valued at $2000; third prize, center piece, valued at $1300; fourth prize, two pleces (mounted), valued at $900; fifth prize, loving cup, valued at $600. The judges were: Captain A. S. Flem- ing, artillery, U. 8. A.; Lieutenant Fred de Funiack, Twenty-second Infantry, U. 8. A.; Captain Charles Suret, artillery, U. S, A and Major C. S. Ammél, a Templar officer of Columbus, Ohio. Grand Master Is Upheld. What is known as the dependent mem- bership question preefpitated a hot fight at the meeting of the convention. It end- ed in the encampment sustaining the rul- ing of Grand Master Lloyd. Briefly, he holds that to be in good standing a Knight Templar must maintain his stand- ing in both chapter and lodge. The grand master read an argument upholding his position, and the matter then went to the committee on jurisprudence. The, com- mittee brought in a majority report ac- cepting the grand master's stand in the matter, but a minority report was also submitted and hotly advocated on the floor. The two reports were finally sub- mitted_to the members of the encamp- ment, 250 of whom were present, and the 28.—Colorado | | { | 3 vote sustained the majority report by over 200 ballots. - The jurisprudence committee also brought * in a report sustainin the grand master in his position that a grand master cannot create a Knight Templar at sight, after the ancient fash- jon of kings, who knighted soldiers on the fleld of battle. This question has been a mooted one, as there has always been an element favoring the granting of this privilege to the grand commander, Who would thus be able to honor men in the | way universities and colleges confer de- grees upon distinguished perso: The encampment decided to put the as- sessment of Sir Knights back to 5 cents | per capita a year.

Grand Recorder Mayo said to-night that there was still plenty of money on hand and the adop- tion of the old rate had no particular sig- nificance. A committee to select the time and place for_ the next conclave was ap- pointed. The committee will report to- morrow afternoon or Friday. Grand Master Lloyd called the meeting at 9 a. m., when.varfous reports wers submitted and referred to various committees. This took all forenoon. The committees made only partial reports on the recorder’s and treasurer's reports, but accepted the grand master's after & few unimportant changes. Progress Made by the Order. The report of Grand Master Reuben H. Lloyd contained the following: The order is in a most satisfactory and healthy condition and steadily growing.
