COURT LECTURES TWO DEFENDANTS;| CASE DISMISSED
Jennings Arraigns Smith and Rustgard and Dismisses
 Contempt Charge.

The case against Walstein G. Smith and John Rustgard, both charged with contempt of court, was dismissed by Judge R. w. Jennings in the U. S. District Court at Ketchi' kan yesterday, according to special news dispatch received by The Elm pire from it's Ketchikan correspond ent late yesterday afternoon. Judge Jennings said that he was convinced after going into the matter, while 1t was intended as an insult, the ques- tionable affidavit does not constitute contempt of court.
 Judge Jennings addressed the de- fendants for one and one-half hours yesterday afternoon, severely ar raigning them for their method of procedure The Empire correspond ent states that the arraignment of was undoubtedly the most severe any man ever got either in or out of court"
 The affidavit on which the con tempt charge was based alleged that Judge Jennings was so closely allied both politically and socially with former Governor Riggs that he was not qualified to sit in the mandamus proceedings instituted by Mrs. Edith Sheelor against Territorial Treasurer Walstein G. Smith several weeks ago. It also alleged that Judge Jen nings in overruling demurrer to the complaint had been influenced by his close relationship with the former Governor. The Ketchikan Chronicle, in an article covering the contempt case as far as it had pro. gressed last Wednesday, contained the following:
 "When asked to give specific in. stances of close friendship, social and political, between Judge Jen nings and the former Governor and others, the witness (Smith) said he could not do it." The Chronicle also said "Mr. Smith also testified that he had been convinced for several years. that Governor Riggs was dis honest. He said that he and MT Rustgard had talked that over and were in agreement on it."

 Editorial on Subject.
 The Sattle Times, of last Sunday, July IT, contained a front page edi- torial under the caption, Warning to Governor.
 The editorial <. Qac+v sad
 The dissatisfaction and the openly critical attitude of Republican edi- tors in this State in all their discus sions of Governor Hart's administra- tion is a warning to the chief execu- tive and his political advisers.
 The Republican editors of Wash ,ington are not given to shepherding state Republican administrations.
 Neither would they go out oi their way to voice displeasure and resentment unless they were thor oughly conscious of the unfavorable sentiment of their respective com munities.
 The Governor seems to have com. pletely overlooked the fact, appar. ent to every newspaper man ir Washington, that his administration and the new civil code are ON TRIAL before the people.
 MT. Hart is confident the new ar rangement will achieve remarkable things in the way of efficiency and economy in government. To date however, there has been nothing tt support his sanguine predictions, tc ,(Continued on Page Two.)
