him to be straightforward and practi-
cal in all his work and suggestions.
The speaker alluded to his term as
mayor, and said he always found Mr..
Edmands a true friend at all times,
and that his friendship and sugges-

CHARGES WERE SERIOUS

lncompetency and Corruption Were
Claimed In the Courts Rulings in
the Nome Litigation-LegaI De.
partment Decides the Judge Brought
the District Court of Alaska Into
Disrespect.
Washington, Feb. 24.-Attorney Gen
eral Knox has delivered to the presi.
dent his findings in the matter of the
charges filed against Arthur H. Noyes,
Judge of the Second division of the
United States district court for Alas
ka. The charges are incompetency and
corruption, although, the attorney gen.
eral says, the charges of dishonesty
were not pressed. After reviewing the
case at length the attorney general
concludes his report as follows:
Such was the end OF this Nome
litigation, out of which has sprung
SO much complaint, bitterness and
public scandal. After review it re-
mains that the actual consequences OF
these proceedings in the Alaska dis
; trict court were to bring that court
into disrespect and to impair public
confidence in its wise and impartial
administration of justice. In view OF
the foregoing, and after the most care
full consideration, have concluded:
"First-That the appointment Of a
receiver in the cases referred to, with
out notice to the defendants, and the
refusal upon hearing to discharge the
receiver, and the consequent dispos-
' session of the defendants of their prop
erty, were not justified under the facts,
the pleadings and the principles OF
: equity.
Hostile Attitude of Judge Noyes.
"Second-That there is no justifica-
ton shown for the refusal by Judge
! Noyes to settle a bill of exceptions
at the instance of the defendants, and
: for the refusal to allow them an ap-
peal.
"Third-That after an appeal had
been allowed by the circuit court OF
appeals and the writ of supersedeas
had been served upon Judge Noyes,
the plaintiffs and the receiver, Judge
Noyes' attitude toward the writ was
one of hostility and obstruction, which
was totally inconsistent with his jul
dicial duty towards superior court
reversal of his judicial action.
"Fourth-That Judge Noyes should
forthwith be removed from office"
The president will approve these
findings and promptly dismiss Judge
Moves from Office.

Manila, Feb. ga force of native
constabulary at Santa Cruz, province
of Laguna, Luzon, has captured Cor
tez, second In command to the In
surgent general, Malvar, and turned
him over to the military authorities.
Cortez was in fancied security in a
suburb of Santa Cruz known as Alipit,
and was raising funds for the insur.
rection A friendly native informed
Inspector Soronsen of this fact and
the capture of Cortez followed.
Few insurgents remain in the prov.
inces of Batangas and Laguna. Cen
eral ]. Franklin Bell has accomplished
his intended purpose of Kidding this
district of insurgents, though for the
present the civil commission consider
Il inadvisable to declare the provinces
In question to be pacified.
Large numbers of insurgents who
have been driven from Batangas and
Laguna have Joined the ladrones in
the neighboring province of Cavite,
where the native constabulary are
bounding them from place to place.
General Trias, the present governor
of Cavite province, who formerly bit.
terly opposed the Americans In that
district, has given proof Of his true
friendliness and is using every effort
, to run down and capture the Cavite
ladrones. He is sending volunteer
companies of bolomen to asst the con.
stabulary to suppress disorder. The
natives Of Cavite province, provoked
at the continued disorder created by
the ladrones, are spontaneously main
tanning peace in the province. The
civil commission recognizes this atti.
tude to be largely due to the influence
of General Trias.
