Nome, Alaska, Sept, j.. via Tacoma,
Wash, Oct. 2.-Judge "A. H. Moves, ap-
pointed ito this court from Minneapolis,
will demand an investigation of the
charges that have been made against
him.
His friends state that the man who
made the charges attempted to bride
the court by telling him how he could
make 100000 in a single year by
standing with certain interests ait.

When copies Of the Minneapolis
Journal arrived here o Sept. Is con-
tanning the exclusive announcement
Of the order OF the circuit court Of APP
peals ordering all proceedings stayed
in the Anvil creek receiYerships, it
created a great sensation.
What incensed the people Of Nome
more than anything else was the testi-
mony rejecting on the integrity Of
Judge Moves and Receiver Mckenzie,
Fthrough which the order of the circuit
court of appeals was made.
If an Investigation of the charges is
not ordered the Judge will demand one
On order to clear himself Of the serious
attacks that have Deen made upon his
character.
Zach and every allegation made TO
the circuit court of appeals can be
readily and fully %disproyen without
any great effort on the part of those
accused u. d

house in Minneapolis, which it was
asserted Receiver Mckenzie had paid
off as soon is Judge Moves was ap-
pointed. That is not paid, nor has
anything been paid on it for two years.
las 10 his expenses being paid and
transportation being secured by Nc
Kenzie for him, that can be shown ito
be a falsehood, for, in the first place,
he did not go to Tacoma oversSthe
Northern Pacific, as they allege, but
icamesoyer THE Great Northern, and
mckenzie had no hand IN furnishing
his transportation to That point. All
the other allegations are just AS friw-
olous and are Wnolly without founda-
tion. lg
During the tendency OF the Anvil
creek cases every effort has been masfe
TO influence the court in its action,
even to the extent OF offering a money
consideration When bribery failed
TO do its work, then the, enemy sougni
to destroy Judge Moves by connecting
stories affecting his honesty and integ.
rity.
The honest and integrity OF Judge
Noyes and Receiver Mckenzie is un-
questioned here. Judge Noyes' ap
podntment Was backed BY the strong
est following of representative and in
~f1uentdal men OF any person who Y
applied for official position. The SEN
ators OF three states Endorsed his I'D
~plication, and he and his friends stand
ready TO refute the false charges made
against him.
The appointment OF Captain j. C
Barr as purchasing agent and account.
ant for the receiYership has done muel
to establish confidence In Receives
Mckenzie here. Captain Barr ii
known throughout Alaska, having
been a pioneer since 1887. He is alb
