G0bbling Up Claims.

Seattle, Aug. 5.-Advices received
in this city from Nome by the steam
ship Ohio state that the people Of Nome
are up in arms against government off,
cials and their actions in fling upon
valuable mining claims.
The Nome Nugget in long article
charges officials with using illegal
methods and taking advantage Of their
positions to possess themselves Of many
valuable claims which are obtained by
relocating. The Nugget prints COM
parative tables showing the number Of
claims held by the government officials
and their relatives or assistants, and
also the number held by the leading
mining and business men Of Nome and
vicinity. Officers Of the Ohio report
that the people are thinking Of taking
drastic measures if the authorities at
Washington do not investigate the
matter.
The Ohio's officers report that the
storm which has ragged of Nome for
the past month, has finally cleared
away and that the work of Tightening
cargoes from steamers has been com.
menced. The storm tied up a large
number of small coasting fleet and riv-
or steamers, the loss to these companies
being estimated at 100000.

DIVIDED IN Opinion
SUPREME court INTERPRETS
STATE Factory Law.
Holds That Where Injuries Are Re.
Ceived by Exposed MaChinery
Required to Be Guarded, EN-.
plOyer Cannot Set Up knOwl.
edge of Defendant as Defense.

Olympia, Aug. 3.-Four mem bers
Of the supreme court affirmed a deci-
ion yesterday, while three mem ers
of the corut affirmed a dissenting opin-
ion, in what is considered one of the
four most important cases submitted
last term. The majority opinion holds
that where an employee is injured by
exposed machinery the factory law Of
1908 required to be guarded and sues
the employer. the latter cannot set up
40 a defense that his employe knew all
about the exposed machinery and as
sumed the risk Of danger therefrom.
The minority opinion, written by
Justice Root and concurred in by Jus.
tees Crow and Rudkin, the three new
members Of the court, holds that the
admitted knowledge Of tue employe is
proper testimony and should be admit.
ed as a defense, inasmuch as the stat
ute does not expressly prevent it.
Watching for Decision.
Attorneys Of milling companies and
other factories have been awaiting this
decision with interest, as it is the first
time the court has passed upon this
doctrine of assumption Of risk under
the factory law since the latter was
adopted in 1908.
The decision is in the case Of r. B.
Hall against the West & Slade Mill
Company. Hall was injured and re-
covered damages in the lower court.
To the defense of assumed risk a de
murrer was interposed. This was sus-
tanned by the lower court because the
mill company had not complied with
the 1908 law requiring safeguards.
Hall admitted on cross examination
that he knew of the exposed set screw
which caused his injuries.
The majority of the court says that
the chief point has been previously de-
cided by the court in 80 Wash. 81,
the opinion being written by Justice
W. 81. White.
The decision was written by Justice
Fullerton and concurred in by Chief
Justice Mount and Justices Hadley
and Dunbar.
The dissenting opinion says the deci-
sion "obliterates old landmarks of the
law and hlishes an innovation nei-
Their justified nor desirable" Justice
Root contends that the court is read
ing into the statute provision neither
intended nor proper. He says that
when the factory bill was passed the
legislature had another bill designed
to wipe out the assumption Of risk and
that the legislature refused to pass the
latter measure. He contends that a
specific statute is necessary and that
such taking away Of defense cannot
be done by inference or indirection.

Terms OF Chinese TREATY
ATTRACT LIVELY INTEREST

Washington, Aug. 3.-The publica-
ton in the Seattle Post Intelligencer
of the text Of the late proposed treaty
between the United States and China
was telegraphed to Eastern papers with
proper credit, and it attracted lively
interest in official quarters here. 1t
was no news, Of course, to the state
department or to the Chinese legation,
but elsewhere the provisions of the
treaty were scanned with much in
terest.
The officials of the state department
took a somewhat less pessimistic view
Of the negotiations looking to the con-
olusion of the proposed treaty than do
the members of the Chinese legation in
Washington. The legation processes to
believe that the negotiations are at an
end.
Acting Secretary of State Adee said,
however, that there had been no for.
NAL breaking off of negotiations and
that he hardly thought any statement
that the draft of the proposed treaty
had been abandoned was warranted al
this time. 1t is quite correct to say,
however. that the exchanges between
the two governments ON the subject
are Just now at standstill.
There is more than suspicion that,
although the Chinese government pro.
fesses to be using its influence against
the boycott Of American goods in
China. the Peking authorities are real.
ly waiting to see what effect the boy.
colt may have in bringing the United
States government to a condition Of
mind in which it will be possible to
put through the proposed treaty.

vICkcRSHAn AFTER BRADY.
Official Report Arouses Ire Of Alaska
Judge.

Seattle, Aug. ga special to the
Post Intelligencer from Washington
says:
More trouble is in store for Gov.
Brady, of Alaska, in case Secretary
of the Interior Hitchcock acts favora-
bly, on request received from James
Wickersham, federal judge in the third
division of the territory. Judge Wick
ersham is fighting mad, and his letter
to the secretary demands that the gov
ernor be called to account for making
charges which the judge characterizes
as misleading and false and reckless
ly made for partisan purposes The
statements made by Gov. Brady ap-
peared in his annual report, one of the
most notable being that the conditions
in the third district were SO bad that
the court officers ought to be provided
with "sea- going steamer equipped
with plenty of small arms and a gait
ling gun"
n. D. Reynolds Involved.
An interesting fact appears in Judge
Wickersham' letter to the secretary
of the interior. 1t seems that Gov.
Brady who attacked tho judge in his
annual report, had asked Judge Wick
ersham some time before to appoint
H. D. Reynolds as a court commission
ership and that the judge refused to
do so. H. D. Reynolds is the president
Of the Alaska Development Company,
the concern Of which Brady was the
resident director in Alaska, and which
has nearly cost the governor his off,
cial position under the government.
Mr.. Brady's relations with this con-
Germ are still under Investigation.
In his letter to Secretary Hitchcock,
Judge Wickersham encloses copy of
letter which he recently sent to Gov.
Brady, and he demands that the gov
ernor be required to answer the ques-
tions propounded in that letter. The
letter is about as interesting an official
document as has been seen for a long
time. 1t contains 70 questions, many
of them inquiring as to Gov. Brady's
knowledge of territorial happenings
and as to why, if he did know Of vic.
lations Of the law he did not take steps
looking to punishment of the offenders.
Secretary Hitchcock has not yet TAX
en- formal action on Judge Wicker
sham's request, but he will probably
require Gov. Brady to substantiate the
statements made in his report.
