From Alaska Soon.
Washington, April 14.-The presi-
dent continues to hear from Alexander
McKenzie's friends. Ever since the
movement was started to have the
North Dakotan pardoned. kilograms
and letters have come from North
Dakota, Minnesota and other north
western and Pacific coast states, urg-
emily pressing favorable action on the
petition. Many kilograms have been
received. They are filed away for
consideration when the San Francisco
judges have submitted their views on
the application. The president hopes
to be able TO dispose of the case before
he starts on his trip to the coast
Attorney General Knox has not yet
had any official connection with either
the Mckenzie or the Noyes case. Be
fore he left Office Attorney General
Griggs prepared a statement of all the
charges against Judge Arthur H.
Noyes by newspaper extracts and from
oral statements made to him, and
transmitted them to Nome by mail

the department of justice is con-

will probably know nothing about the
case until Judge Noyes' reply is re-
ceived. 1t is expected that he will re-
ceive the Griggs' communication be-
fore any of the merchant vessels reach
Nome, as mail is sent into the coun-
try on dog sledges, and that his
answer will be ready by the time the
first vessel is ready to leave that place.
