NOME GONTEMPT GASES PROGEED Court Will Not Define the Issues for the Respondents. Attorneys for Contending - Sides Must Meet All the Evidence. The lawyers talked and the Judges lis- tened yesterday in the Nome contempt proceedings before the Circuit Court of Appeals. The honors were not evenly di- vided, for when a count was taken at the end of the day the amicus curiae came off the field with one signal victory, one mooted point left in abeyance and a sin- gle defeat, the importance of which is doubtful. Bven the best plans miscarry before the Circuit Court of Appeals. Francis J. Heney, assoclate counsel for respondent Judge Artbur H. Noyes, declared he ‘would go before the court and have the question which he asked Willlam F. Britt and which the latter declined to an- swer certified. Britt, & Call reporter, re- fused to tell Heney who wrote a certain article which appeared in Monday's issue of The Call. A similar question had been asked on Monday and the court decided in favor of Britt. For different reasons Heney prop: the identical question and the examination then closed, with the promise on Heney's part to take a certifi- ca: Tuesday morning. The point was & mm' one. Heney slept on it Monday night and decided not to force the ques- tion which still remains unanswered. Letter Must Be Produced. ‘When the Circuit Court of Appeals con- vened in the morning the lawyers on both sides, withesses and the interested public ‘wan on_ hand. J. Pillsbury being the contending parties. But_before this pourlns out of troubles flooded the courtroom e Gilbert in- formed the amicus curiae that the letter rflmganu asked for should be at request. This letter is caused so much discussion. to the claims of re- attorneys, sen: ~Amicus Curiae Pilisbury some time last May or June and signed by XKenneth Jackson, Judge Jobnson and Fincke. The letter is supposed to oontain & request on the part of the senders for Pillsbury so use his fimd offices in bebalf of W. T. Hume. On onday the court ruled that Pillsbury should hand the letter over and reserved | the right to pass upon its admissibility. Pilisbury did the passing. The letter will B0 in as evidence during the takingof testimony to-day. Argument on Bvidence. This was not the pith of the day’s work, however. It was ordered by the Judges end eed by the attorneys that the question of what evidence should or should not be met by the respondents should be settled once and for all at the morning session. Francis J. Heney ap- peared when the court opened, begged the indulgence of the court and asked for a day longer to present the facts and evi- dence confirmatory of their position. The three judicial heads came together in con- ference and the time was allowed. Laughlin and Pllisbury had their say be- fore the order of the court was declared. | The afternoon brought them all back courtroom end Attorpey the first plea. He was armed with pplication that contained exactly one dozen requests, all of which in the essence refer to the striking out of testimony taken before the Commissioner that sa s of hearsay, opinion, deduction, infe argument or conclusion. Hene: based his motion on the ground that no conspiracy was chargedor could be proved under the affidavit upon which the order to show cause for contempt was based, that the respondent was not liable for judicial acts, end that evidence of other and dissimilar and indictable crimes were | not admissible to prove motive in a pro- | ceeding for contempt. After reading ofi this application Heney pulled another | iypewritten application out of his pocket | and went 2t his work anew, this time ask- | ing the court to define the issues and fix | with some degree of certainty the testi- mony which the respondent would be re- quired to meet. Court Refuses to Define. Then the argument began, Heney, Me- | Laughlin and Pillsbury dipping into the | mixtureand tangle without much straight- | ening effect. Now and then the members | of the court wouid interject questions and edvice. Heney and McLaughlin argued that the evidence was of so wild, chaotic &nd broad a nature that they could not | meet it with certainty unless more closely defined. Heney said that any evidence tending toward a conspiracy to resist the | writ of supersedeas was admissible, but | the evidence introduced to prove a crim- | inal conspiracy which antedated or su ceeded the disobedience of the writ was | not material. The amicus curiae closcd | the argument. He declared that the con- | spiracy went to show the motive of the contempt. The court did not take long to decid The respondents’ attornevs lost their a plication. The court will not review the evidence or pass upon it until it is en- | tirely taken before the Commissioner. | There was one reservation, however. As | the attorneys for the respondents claim | that the testimony adduced can not be | met until depoeitions in far-away coun- | tries are taken and witnesses notified, the court allowed them the privilege of ar- guing an application for a postponement | at some future time. The examination will be continued to- day before Judge Heacock at 10 o'clock. NEWS OF THE OCEAN. Matters of Interest to Mariners and Shipping Merchants.

ON THE BRITISHER. T was a great time for accidents on the bay Monday night and yester- day morning. The barkentine Port- land was in collision with the Brit- ish ship Lady Wentworth, the schooner Rio Rey ran into the British General, the French bark Edmund Ros- tand nearly went aground on the Marin shore and the steamer Natlonal City had | to put back from sea, the mate having | broken his Jeg while crossing the bar. | A storm, blowing at the rate of sixty-| two miles an hour, was raging at l’oint‘l Reyes yesterday. The wind was from the northwest and in consequence a big fleet ceme flying in before it. In it was the British ship Lady Wentworth, 134 days from Hamburg; the American barkentine Portland, 16 days from Tacoma; the Ger- mar. ship FEifrieda, 133 days from Ant- werp; the steamship Curacao from Mexi- can ports; ships Oriental and Indiana the British ship Clackmannanshire, 56 _days, and the French bark Edmund Rostand, 65 days from Newcastle, barks All Australia; the whaling e Knowies, 26 days, and Charles . ‘Morgan, 32 days from the Okhotsk Sea, and the steamship Gaelic from the Orient. All of these vessels had to ‘an- chor below Alcatraz, 8o there was a big bunch of shipping off Meiggs wharf. il S i CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS. Four Vessels in Collision and French | Bark Nearly Grounds. | Among the first of the fleet waes the | British ship Lady Wentworth. Captain | Murchie was here eight or nine years ago in the ship Peterborough and in those | days runners were allowed to board the ship as soon as the anchor was down. Quite a number of the gang got aboard and made themselves at home in the fore- castle, where the quarantine officer found them. Dr. Carmichael was very angry | over the breach of the rules and at once ordered the vessel and all aboard quar- antined. The runners cannot get away, as a _watch is kept on them, and neither can Pilot Loule Meyer, who has to re- main by the ship. That part of the Lady Wentworth's troubles came with the morning, how- ever. During the night while she lay at anchor off Alcatraz the barkentine Port- land, lumber laden and bound in from the Sound, hove in sight on the starboard bow. The captain of the barkentine thought it was a good place to anchor, s0 he proceeded to do 50. A very strong ficod tide was running and before the Portland’s anchors would hold she was swept across the bow of the Britisher, The shock was terrific and brought all hands on deck in a hurry. Tugboats were | soon on the scene and the vessels separ- ated. The Portland lost her fore rigging on the starboard slde and her fore yard and the main rigging on the port side. She was also badly strained and is at present lezking at the rate of three or four inches an hour. The Lady Went- worth was not damaged. Shipping Intelligence. ARRIVED. Monday, October 25.
