A CHURCH LEADER ACCUSED.
a Warrant Issued for Mrs. Kate Nor
ris, OF Charleston. y. &.

CHARLESTON. S. c., March pa
warrant was sworn out here yesterday
against Mrs. Kate Xenia Morris, who
up TO November last, was State president
of the Nomans Christian Temperance
Union. charging her with obtaining mon
ey under false pretences. The war
rant was issued on the affidavit
of Albert H. Mowry, jr., Secretary of
the Charleston Dry Goods Company.
Mowry alleges that Mrs. Morris called
at his establishment, bought goods TO the
extent of $2S presented a check for $40,
and got the balance in cash. The woman
had only s. in the bank and the check was
returned Other dealers appeared at the
same bank with her checks but failed TO
get them cashed.
Mrs. Morris left Charleston several days
ago with her husband and the papers
have not been served. A local camp of
Woodmen of the World, of which Mrs.
Morris was treasurer has about $50 in her
keeping. but the Trust Company, her
surety. made good the shortage.
Mrs Morris is highly educated She
came from q prominent family. and was
a leader in church, charity. and temper
anCe work Her Jealous labors for the
temperance union were, rewa rded by her
election as State president, and she was
identified with the best people of the city.
When her first husband died, less than
a year ago she decided to cult the tenn
perance field Several weeks ago she was
married TO a young man named Morris
and he left town with her.
The announcement today that the war
rant had been issued created a big sensa-
tion In church and religious circles. where

ADIRONDACK DEER SCARCE.
Danger of determination Unless
Game Laws Are Enforced.

ALBANY, March 24-'tUnless the game
laws are so amended as to prohibit the
killing of deer in November the noblest
game of the Adirondacks is doomed"
Cornelius Carter, one of the oldest and
best known guides of the North Woods
gives this opinion, based on ffty-fve
years experience as a guide and sports
man. For eighteen years he has had a
continuous residence of six months in
each year as caretaker of the ConneIl
Park, which comprises 1886 acres situated
at the head waters of the Oswegatchie
River, in the heart of the Adirondack
Wilderness
Carter has presented his views to the
Forest, Fish, and Game Committees of
the Senate and Assembly in the hope that
prohibitive laws may be enacted to save
the deer, which he says are constantly
decreasing in numbers. IF there is a
doubter," says the old guide, 'Iet him go
with me to the base of the mountains,
where the deer are wont to come down to
the lowlands to feed or for drink There
you will find trails once thoroughly beat
en-, now old and grass-grown, many of
them not having a footprint TO show what

with him to the mountain tops and eIe-
toned to travel in rutting season during
November. What do we find? Very few
signs of deer, indeed, whereas but ten
years ago you would have found the
ground cut to pieces by footsteps in many
places and the standing timber raked.
blazed, and gouged by their antlers in
hsnting. These signs are fast passing
away by the growth of the timber and
the annual falling of leaves and brush
wood The signs that remain are mere
souvenirs of a race of noble animals the
most of which have been killed by the
severe winters or the rife.
I'm 1882, when | first took possession of
the Connell lands, il was not uncommon
in the morning 10 see from camp from
one to five deer feeding and travelling
see one during a season you do we'll They
are not here. They are dead. It is true
that there are some deer yet, but my
judgment is that there is not more than
one deer now where there were ten TWEEN
~ years ago.
Il am not in favor of law prohibiting
the killing of does as is proposed. The
law row gives a man the right TO Kill two
deer. lie has not yarded them where he
can take his rifle and kill them any time
he pleases. II may take him one day and
II may take him twenty before his chance
comes, and when it does he is going to

"He is not going around to see If the
animals has horns. If he does the killing
of deer for a time. for the does 1t is a
doe. Do you think anyone will know
that? II it is ever seen or is brought to

no one can tell its sex. Far better would
it be to enact a law prohibiting the kill
ing of deer for time, for the does would
then be protected and it would make liars
fewer.
The appointment Of game protectors
and foresters through favoTitism is a bad
practice-a grave error. They should be
examined as 10 their qualifications. They
should be men of honor and integrity,

JUDGE MOVES TO ANSWER
Stems TO Be Taken to Probe the
Nome Scandal.

The Ins. Important OHicinI Act ot
Attorney General GriEas to BE the
. Preparation of the Formal
Charre.-Thc History of the Case
The last important official act of At
torney General Griggs before retiring
from the Cabinet next Saturday, will be
the nreparation of formal charges against
Judge Arthur p. Noyes of the United
States Court in northern Alaska. Per
sistent complaints Of the most serious
character have been made against Judge
Moves. almost ever since the new United
States court was organized at Nome in
July OF last year.
Late in the fall, after mining opera
tions at Nome had closed for the season.
many individuals who claimed to have
suffered on account of the conduct OF
Judge Moves on the bench, came to Wash
iugton, and lodged complaints against
him with the President and with the At
torney General The Nome Chamber Of
Commerce sent a delegation here for the
special purpose Of stirring up in Con-
Eress a sentiment in favor of investigat-
ing the conduct OF Judge Noyes and his
court Many Of these persons who COM
plained to the President and to Mr. Grigss
made the most sweeping charges, but
could not be induced to put their allega-
tious in writing Later. however, several
afidavits were filed, and persons in whom
the President has confidence expressed the
opinion that Judge Moves ought to be
required to answer the charges made
against him.
The principal charge was that the judge
was a partner of Alexander Mckenzie
whom he appointed receiver for valuable
mining properties at Nome; that the two
were companions on the voyage TO Nome,
and that the appointment of receiver
was made and later sustained in an ir-
regular way. Corrupt use of money in
various ways has also been alleged. Nc
Kenzie is now in Jail in California for
contempt of court IN connection with the
affair. and the charges against Nc IS
were emphasized by the sensational crit
cism of him that was INDUCED in by the
United States Circuit Court at San Fran
cisco when it found Mckenzie guilty
Many of the Alaska men who have been
in Washington during the winter conduct
Ing the campaign against Judge Noycs
have lately given UP hope that the Ad-
ministration would act in the matter and
blamed Attorney General Griggs for the
delay. They declared that the people of
the Nome mining district would not toll
crate Noyes for another year if the Gov
ernmeut ignored the charges. Governor
Brady. OF Alaska. recently told the Presi-
dent that he had fears for the life of
Judge Noyes should he be permitted by
the Government to retain his present po-
sition.
