AT FRISCO.
ALEX M'KENZIE ARRIVES AT
FRISCO BUT is NOT TALKING

ANY.
Tacoma, Wash, Nov. S.-Receiver
Mckenzie has arrived in San Francis
co in charge of deputy marshals VINO
brought him a prisoner from Nome.
When he passed through Tacoma,
Mr.. Mckenzie refused to be inter-
viewed. other than to deny that he is
100000 short in his accounts, as
charged. He was forbidden access to
the deposit vaults, and gold received
from the claims had to be deposited
elsewhere, and thus escaped seizure.
Every cent will be accounted for, all
payments having been made by check
and double series of vouchers.
His case has been ordered before
the supreme court of the United States
for a hearing on Dec. I on a writ Of
c%ertiorari. Thus the tables are turned
on the court at San Francisco, as it
turned the tables on Judge Noyes'
court.
The contestants have sold out their
claims to c.. D. Lane, so that the legal
ity of the ~receivership is all that is now
to be decided. Ex-senator Gearey,
author of the Gearey expulsion act, is
McKenzie's attorney and expects to
win his case.
Mckenzie read with great interest
the account of Senator Nelson refusal
to speak in North Dakota, and his
scoring of Senator Hansbrough, but
refused to make any comments.
The Seattle Times says: Steamship
Senator from Nome with federal Off
GERS and the famous gold mine re-
ceiver, Alexander Mckenzie, aboard,
arrived in port today. Mckenzie
came nominally a prisoner in charge
of the officers.
The Senator brought down 1913 pas
sengers and possibly $780, 600 in treas
ure. She left the north on the even
ing of Oct. q, shortly after the Ohio,
which arrived some time ago. The
voyage down to Dutch Harbor proved
to be a succession of violent gales. At
times the steamer under full steam
was steadily blown backward. From
Dutch Harbor, where the Charles Mel
son was coaling the voyage was I'M
eventful.
Among the Senator's passengers
is Receiver Alexander Mckenzie, un-
der arrest and in charge Of Marshals
Shelby Monketon and George Burn
ham, of San Francisco. AS is already
known, he is under arrest for alleged
contempt of an order issued by the cir
cult court of appeals of San Francisco.
1t is reported that Mckenzie means to
fight the cas- to a finish. An appeal,
it is declared, will be taken to the SUI
preme court of the United States and
it will then go to Washington. Nc
Kenzie will be taken to San Francisco
on the train leaving this evening.
There were two large treasure hold
ers among the Senator's passengers.
The Sullivan party had in their pos
session " 100000 and G. H. Burn
ham had $27O,OOO. In the purser's
safe was 100000, passengers treasure
In addition to about $15O,OOO company
gold. OF this $4,000 was consigned
to the National Bank of Commerce.
$4S,OOO to the Bank of British Column
bia and $4,000 to E. w. Backus.
Steamship Roanoke was still at
Nome when the Senator left. The
Nome City had sailed previously for
this city. Both the Oregon and the
John S. Kimball were in port.
The Senator brought advices of a
story concerning a terrible tragedy
and H. H. Melvin, who arrived at Nome
on Oct. II, on the Dora, are authority
for the tales. They had been left on
Nelson Island, at Cape Vancouver
from the schooner CASPER earlv in Sem.
