Hoyt Report Adverse

Washington, D. C., Jan. Tt is positively known now that the report of District Attorney Hoyt of Nome on his investigation of Judge Wickersham is at direct variance with Agent Days report last year and is against Wicker sham. Hoyt states that he found noth- ing in Wickeysham's record at Fair banks renecting upon the judges honor or judicial integrity, bat in his opinion such conditions prevail in the Panama as call for a clean official slate all around and specially the appoint meut of new judge.
 The president and attorney-gcneral have had several conferences upon the Wickershara case since receiving Hoyt's report and the president iS still undecided what to do. He will decide within few days whether to reappoint Wickcrsham.
 It has been learned positively that District Attorney Hoyt is a candidate for an Alaska judgeShip and that fact has caused unfavorublo comment upon his report in the WickerSham case. Several senators have openly criticised the action of the president in selecting subordinates in the judiciary to investi- gate a judge of a United States court, expressing the bilief that candid and intelligent report could hardly be eX- pected from such source.
 Within the past week petitions have been wired the president from Nome and Juneau asking that Judge Wicker sham be transferred to either place. The president is not considering a transfer of Wickersham to another district.

as to the motive for the act The
young man has been wanderer since
the San Francisco earthquake through
which he passed and which evidently
had given him a nervous disease. One
of the letters states that San Francisco
and Oakland got on his nerves" and
that when he left there he went to Port
land, Ore, then to Butte, Mont, and
from there to Minneapolis and st. Paul.
He went to Chicago, and his cousin, j.

Thursday was ON the point of notifying
the police of his disappearance when

Sauerkraut by the Ton.

The making of sauerkraut in the new
factory in Canandiagua is now in full
blast. Already $50 tons of cabbage have
been cut up and placed in the watts for
curing.
Twenty-Five men and women are en-
ployed in the work there now and this
number will be increased a little later
to thirty or thirty-fve. The raw ma
terial is being brought to the factory
about as fast as it can be handled, not
withstanding the fact that the price on
cabbage has dropped from $40 a ton,
where it started at the opening of the
season to 81 a ton. Domestic stock is
being used entirely at the present time,
but later this will be supplemented by
other varieties.
In the factory are fourteen of the
watts or tanks above spoken Of each
capable Of holding sixty tons of kraut,
or about two carloads when ready for
shipment, and if sufficient cabbage can
be secured these will be filled three times
during the season, it taking from ten
days to three weeks for the kraut to
sour after being placed in the tanks.
