HOUSE GUILTY OF
 CONTEMPT CHARGE

Ed. House was yesterday evening by Judge Reid held to be guilty of contempt of court, and was fined BIO and the costs of the action. In pas sing sentence Judge Reid let it be distinctly understood that he acted without malice and with the sole desire of protecting, not himself per sonally but the intregrty of the court as an institution. It. was be- cause of this reason, and for the further reason that there is cause to believe that the remarks of House, while they were of such nature as to reflect on the intregrty of the court, were of possibility not so in- tended, that is duo the light
 The direct charge against House is, that in connection with the Joseph Tudor case he among other things said that he has a "pull" with the court. Many witnesses were ex- amined who declared that House, while not openly stating that he has "pull" nevertheless gave them to understand that he has influence with the court.
 Witnesses were also examined who testified that they had heard House speak of the court in the highest terms. It developed that the first knowledge had by Judge Reid of the existence of House was when the two met in Valdez.
 In dwelling on the evidence Judge Reid expressed liberal views of the right of an American citizen to give, in proper language, his views of the judicial actions of judge, but the court held that bragging of Q pull" with u judge ia going beyond the permissible.

ALASKA MAN PLAYS
 CASSIE CHADWICK
William Foster Lives Lux uriousIy On S8O0,000
 Borrowed On Nerve

New York, Nov. 24-Were it not for the fact that William Foster, who alleges that he is the owner of mines in Alaska, began operations before Cassie Chadwick became notorious, he might be said to be clever imi- tator of this clever woman. As it is Foster must be given credit for cer- tain originality, for although he is now in jail, arrested last night and charged with vagrancy, during the last eight or ten years he has lived in luxury on borrowed money.
 Foster is no stranger to the police, but heretofore his acquaintance with the officers of the law has been the result of wild hilarity engendered by the careless manner in which he sep arated himself from his wealth. Now however, he is segregated with the cuttings from the submerged districts, and none so poor as to offer him even the small boon of sympathy. .
 The authorities declare that backed by nothing more substantial than his nerve, Foster has during his career in this city succeeded in borrowing S8OO,- GOO. Posing as q wealthy owner of mines, he has wormed into the confi- dcncc of capitalists, and has lavishly disbursed the wealth they contributed to his coffer5. Now he is busted prophet as q harbinger of golden treasurer, and it is probable that he will soon become familiar with the de- tails of life on Blackwell's island.

JOHN R|PL|NGER
 |S UNDER ARREST
Former City ComptroIier Of
 Seattle Is To be Brought 1 Back For Trial

Seattle, Nov. 2--John Riplinger, former city comptroller, and embez- zler to the extent of some $7O,GO0 of the oity's money, has been arrested in British Honduras, wither he fled just prior to the exposure of his short age, and will be returned to Seattle within month. The arrest of Rip finger was effected through the state department.
 Known as Honest John," Rip finger bore fine reputation until the fact of his pcculations became known to the public. The expose came shortly after RiplinGer was defeated TOT mayor, two years ago, and it is the fact that he chose to run for may or rather than accept certain re-elec- tion to the office of comptroller that is responsible.
 Riphnger had many friends in Se- attle at first who at first refused to be- lieve the report of his being an em- beZzler. Even now there are those who hold to the opinion that Riplngcr benefited little from the thefts that marked his tenure of office, and who believe thatthc "highcr-ups" financed him when he fled to Honduras.
 Shortly after going to Honduras Riplinger engaged in the business of banana raising, and it is reported that he is making money. There is no OK tra&ition treaty between the United States and Honduras, which accounts for the long period to elapse between Riplinger's flight and his arrest.

GOVERNMENT WORK
 ID BENEFIT. VALDEZ
Expense Of Doubling TeIe- graph Line From GuIkana
 On To Be S1O0,O0O

This winter and this coming sum- mer the government will to residents of Valdez disbursc a great part of SlOO, ,OC0, this being in excess of the regular government payroll in this town. The expenditure of the sum in question, or sum that will ap- prONimatC this amount, is necessi- tatcd by the determination to com plete the work of doubling the gov ernment telegraph line between here and Fairbanks.
 On December 5, in the headquarters at the quartermaster at Fort Liscum, there will be opened proposals for trnighting supplies from Valdez to the various government telegraph station between Gulkana and Donel- ly's. The supplies to be moved are those necessary to the work of donb- ling the telegraph line, the supplies for the work between Donclly's and Fairbanks to be furnished from Fair banks.
 Doubling the telegraph line from Gulkana on is in line with the work done the past summer, when the line between here and Gulllana was doubled. The real work on the line will begin so soon in the spring as is feasible, and it will be progressed to rapid completion. About Decem- ber 1, Lieut.. Test with gang of civil iana will begin getting out telegraph poles.
 The governments determination to doubl. the line is in accord with it's purpose to have nothing lacking in the telegraph service, and it is demanded by the volume of business transacted.

San Francisco, Nov. 25-Sp ecial Prosecutor Francis Heney, shot last week by Maurice Haas, is in very serious condition, and upon the out come Of the next few hours will de- pend his chances for life. After ral- lying from the operation of day or two ago, Honey suffered relapse and is now nearer death than he has been at any time since he was shot.
 The physicians in attendance upon Heney believe that another operation will be necessary to relieve the effects of the anesthetics administered at the first operation Tn his present con- dition the wounded man is not strong enough to withstand a second oper- ation, and in consequence his phy- sicians are in q uandary.
 The trial of Abe Ruef, interrupted by the Henoy sho oting, has been re- sumed under the direction of District Attorney Langdon.

CARNEGIE IN FAVOR OF
 TlNKERING THE TRRlFF

New York, Nov. 28-I an magazine article just published, Andrew Car negie sets himself down as an advo- cate of tariff tinkering. The man who made his fortune from highly protected industry declares that this industry is no longer in need of pro- tection that steel hasgrown beyond necessity of nursing. In fact ac- cording to Mir. Carnegie, none of the erstwhile infant industries is yes wearing swaddling clothes, no pro- lection is necessary and only Iuxuries should be on the high tariff list.
 The stand taken by Mr. Carnegie, while not new on his part, is never tholess the cause of apprehension to those opposed to tariff reduction. 1t is argued that with algreat part of the country clam moring for action in con nection with the tariff, this stand on the part of MT. Carnegie, one time apostle of protection will be disas- troua

MRS. OLSON WINS
 FIRST Sk|RM|SH
Judge Reid Orders Husband To Pay His Wife Temper
 ary Alimony Monthly

Mrs. Mathilda Olson has won the first skirmish in the legal battle she has instituted to compeu her hus- band, Arthur P. Olson, to support her. Judge Reid yesterday afternoon made an order directing Olson to pay into the registry of the court $2OO to be used as attorney fees, and to pay to Mrs. Olson $40 month pending decision in the case for seperate maintenance. Mrs. Olson is also to have the use of the house, recently sold by Olson to S. J. Mills, but which Mrs. Olson has been oc- cupying.
 It was her taking possession of this house when she first came to Valdez that resulted in the arrest of Mrs. Olson on a charge of trespass pre- ferred by Mills. Mrs. Olson was acquitted in the commissioners s court, and yesterday it was by her alleged that Olson caused the crimi- nal action. This Olson denied, maintaining that at the time he was out of town and he knew nothing of the affair until it had taken place.
 The greater part of the testimony in the Olson case, as made public yesterday, came before the court in the form of ailidavits read in behalf of Mrs. Olson by Attorney Edmund Smith, and in behalf of Olson by At tOrney T. J. DonohOc. In addition to the motion for temporary alimony and attorney fees, Mrs. Olson. was successful in defeating all attempt to on demurrer dispose Of her principal suit. Judge Reid overruled this de- murrcr, but he sustained the demurrer to that portion of the action wherein Mrs. Olson Hccks to get judgment against her husband for $6, ,OOO she alleges she expended on the educa- ton of the daughter. Judge Reid hold that this phase Of the case is not properly joint cause Of the action. This disposition of the demurrer means that the case for seperate maintenance will be tried. The date Of trial will be set next week.
