NOYES' CASE
UP IN SENATE
HEATED DENUNCIATI0N OF LEM
ENCY SO FAR SHOWN
Senators Teller and TiIlman Dwell
on the Hating Quality of Ad-
ministratiOn's Treatment
of the Case.
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
WASHINGTON. ID. c.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 3.-Senator
Teller took occasion today to denounce
the action of the administration in the
matter of Judge Arthur H. Noyes, of
Cape Nome notoriety. He declared that
the case was without parallel in the his
tory of American Jurisprudence.
For fifteen MONTHS he declared this
man had been branded by higher court
as corrupt and utterly unfit to admin
ister the duties of his position. He is
now under sentence to pay 81, coo fine, yet
he is on the pay roll of the government
and drawing his SO a day expense money
as judge of Alaskan COURTS"
Mr.. Tillman asked for information rs
TO who had authority to remove Noyes
and why it had not been done.
Senator Foraker thought 1t would re-
qulre impeachment proceedings, but Mr.
Teller informed the senator that the
president was authorized to remove ter
ritorial judges at any moment "It is
inconceivable,' he declared, why he has
not done so in this case"
Mr.. Tillman wanted to know who were
the politicians and members of congress
with pun enough to keep Noyes in Of
flee. No one replied
c. A. S. Frost, private secretary to
Noyes, is here, and saw the attorney
general today. He was promised oppor-
tunity to be heard. C. r. Lane is ex-
pected from San Francisco to take Up
the fight here against Noyes, and Judge
Morrow is also here from California 1t
is stated that NoyeS never has paid his
fine, and that the money he has drawn
from the government since complaint was
made Of him is already more than SIS, coo.

strongest apparent organized opposition
will come from the St. Louis county
delegation. Its fight Is first against the
proposed elevator and vessel taxes The
ore tonnage tax amendment, which will
be proposed by w. H. Noyes, of Barnum,
is not agreeable to the Duluth members,
but it will have to come in the shape of
a constitutional amendment to be acted
upon by a future legislature and it will
not receive the bitter opposition that will
be Waged against the elevator and yes
sci clauses.
The friends" Of the bill claim the Du-
luth people are crying out before they
are hurt, and that their fear Of the loss
of grain handling business is feigneG
They say Duluth's interests will not be
injured, and that the opposition does not
come from the interests the delegation
pretends to defend Noyes' proposition for
q constitutional amendment placing a
minimum tonnage tax on all ores and
minerals mined in Minnesota seems to
be in a fair way to get to the people.
The friends of the measure argue that
real estate taxation Of mining property
would amount to only nominal sum
realized by the state, and that the mines
are being depleted without bearing their
share of the tax burden. The chief objec-
ton of the Duluth delegation to a ton
mage tax is that it will deprive Duluth
and st. Louis county Of the larger half
Of their tax revenue and at once raise
the local rate.
LAYROURNE WANTS
CODE AMENDED.
Representative George r. Laybourne OF
Duluth, says the position of the Duluth
delegation has been misinterpreted. Its
members and their constituents he says,
recognize the codes good features; the

work Of the session No one had the ter
merity to suggest a caucus prior to the
reception Of the governors message, and
the legislators are as much in the dark
as the public touching the duration and
work Of the session. The predominating
sentiment yesterday was plainly against
caucus calculated TO interfere with the
fullest consideration Of the tax bill, and
there is a growing sentiment in favor of
the reception of local bills.
MEMBERS IN FAVOR
OF SHORT SESSION.
A majority of the members express
themselves as favoring a short session,
but, with notably few exceptions, balk-
ed when anything less than thirty days
was suggested. Many Of the more con-
servative legislators who are old-timers
and have for several sessions been recog-
nized as leaders, after sizing up the sit
Uation, estimated the duration of the
session at from forty to, fifty days
The house organization completed, on
Wednesday morning joint session will
