brought before the city magistrate Both stated that the complaint always charged a violation of the Alaska Code and not of a city ordinance. MT. Steel cross examined these wit neesses at length, with the result that Judge again called the attention of District Attorney Spence to a matter that deserved his attention. He ask ed him to look into the matter of bringing such offenses in the U. S. Courts and consider what was best to be done in regard to having the city stand the expense of prosecuting and punishing such offenders.
 James Flynn was next called. He said he had been editor and man ager of the Alaska Times. He de- tailed the organization of the concern as to who had financed it, and who the stockholders were. He swore that while he was editor and manager Mir. Adams never interfered with him in any manner, as to the policy or conduct of said paper. and that all legal notices were charged for at the regular rate of 10 cents line for the first insertion and cents line for subsequent insertions.
 Attorney c. M. Frazier was then called and told of the case of Reidy & Co.,, against H. A. Cook, where the commissioner had paid certain money direct to Harry ONein, one of the partners instead of to the attorney He also told of a dispute in that case he had with Judge Adams because the judge would not allow him an at torney's fee. Said that MT. Adams had shown him letter from District Attorney Walker sustaining Mir,

COMMISSIONER ADAMS HANDICAPPED
 BY COURT OF TRADUCERS' ATTACKS

There was large attendance at the hearing held by Juuduge Fred M. Brown, of the District Court, in the city hall last night on the charges filed a. gainst U. S. Commissioner A. J. Ad- ans by Will A. Steel.
 The many attacks and criticisms made on the commissioner by the Daily Alaskan had aroused in the pub lie a desire to see the matter settled and an opportunity to find out what his detractors had on the local judge was eagerly seized.
 The hearing was conducted by Judge Brown in a wholly informal manner, so that the proceedings were not disturbed or interrupted to an un- due extent by extraneous matters. Neither the complainant or the ac- cused were represented by attorneys, but both were given the privilege of examining the witnesses.
 The full complement of court ofic- ials were present Clerk of the Court Arthur Lang acted in his official ca pacity, and District Attorney Spence and Marshal Brenneman were behind the rail. The proceedings were made a matter of record by Mir. Hamburg CT, the judges private secretary.
 The first witness was the complain ant, MT. Steel. The charges were nine in number and the Judge consid- cred them seriatim. The gist of the first was that Judge Adams had tried municipal cases in his court, and that he and Deputy Marshay Brightwell had connived to boost their fees. The only evidence introduced on either of these questions was that petty mu- nicipal cases occurring within the city

legal notices.
 The sixth charge was dismissed by the court because it was only a ques- tion of whatNthe proper court proceed ure was. and the court said that the at torney's in such a case, if aggrieved would have known how to protect themselves, and that there was noth- ing that would affect such a question as was being raised by this hearing.
 The next charge was to the effect that MT. Adams had paid money direct to litigants and ignored attorneys of record, MT. Steel said the Attorney c. NJ. Frazier would testify on that matter.
 The eight charge of refusing to al low attorneys fees was dismissed by Judge Brown on the same ground as the sixth charge, the court stating however, that it had never been the practice in this division to allow at torneys fees in the commissioners courts and in the district court only in cases of suits on notes and mortga- ges where the instrument sued upon so provided.
 The ninth charge was to the effect that MT. Adams had at certain time unlawfully assaulted MT. Steel, the circumstances of such assault being described by the witness,
 Complainant then asked the court to call ex-Chief of Police Henneke as a witness and he responded Later Chief Waln also testified. Both these witnesses were called on the question of arrests made in the limits for petty offenses. Both said the offenders were tried before Judge Adams al though the latter had at various times insisted that these cases should be

limits had been brought before the Commissioner upon the sworn com plaint of the chief of police. The court explained to the witness that in such cases the Municipal court and the Commissioners court had concur rent jurisdiction.
 The second charge was to the eff feet that the Northern Drug Co. had slot machines in it's store contrary to law; that Mir. Adams was a stock holder in the store .and often operat ed the machines. MT. Steel tried to pass this charge off by saying that he would take it up later, but the court insisted in considering the charges in order. Thereupon the witness tes- tified he knew that such machines were in the store. Judge Brown asked the witness if he was acting from sense of public duty in bring ing the charges or whether they were actuated by a private feeling against Mir. Adams. MT. Steel replied that he was acting solely from sense of public duty, whereupor the court ask ed him whether or not slot machines were operated in any other drug store here, and complainant hesitatingly ad- mitted that they were. The Judge then inquired why he had waited so long to bring the matter to the at tention of the officials as he must have known for a number of years that such machines were being operated. The witness replied that he was bringing these charges against Mr. Adams in his official capacity as Commissioner Judge Brown then addressed the Dis trict Attorney and called his atten- tion to the charge of MT. Steel that
