End of First Round In Notorious Legal Fight

This was the end of the first round of the most notable and notorious legal fight in Alaska. The second round was fought be fore the Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. When McKen- zie was brought before the court and cited to show cause why he should not be punished for con- tempt for refusing to obey the or der of the court, he failed to purge himself of contempt, was adjudged guilty and sentenced to one years imprisonment in Alameda County Jail.
 Judge Moves subsequently, re- ceived notice to appear before the Circuit Court of Appeals. A Commission was appointed by the Court to hear testimony. This Commission exercised a great deal of latitude in the testimony ad- mitted, and listened to anything that would throw light on the case. It inquired into the possible motive that the District Court could have in refusing to obey

Review Testimony

The review of the testimony concludes by saying: "The record and the evidence of the pro- ceedings show from first to last upon the part of Judge Moves, an apparent disregard of the legal rights of the defendants in the cases in which Mckenzie was appointed receiver. The proceed ingS upon which the receiver was appointed were extraordinary in the extreme. Immediately af- ter his arrival at Nome in con- any with the man who it seems had gone to Nome for the express purpose of entering into the re- ceivership business, and who boasted to others that he had secured the appointment of the judge and that he controlled the court and it's officers, upon pap CTS which had not as yet been filed, before the issuance of sum mons, and before the execution of receivers bonds. without mo- tice to the defendants, without affording them an opportunity to be heard, Judge Moves wrest- ed from their mining claims of which they were in full posses sion, the sole value of which con sisted of the gold dust which tey contained, and which lay safely stored in the ground, and placed the claims in the hands of receiver with instructions to mine and operate the same, and this without any showing of an equitable nature to indi- cate the necessity or propriety of the receivership, or the nec- essity for the operation of the mines by a receiver, in order to protect the property or to pre- vent injury or waste.
 When the defendants under took to appeal from the orders, their right of appeal was denied them. The received so appoint ed was permitted to on and mine these claims on an extensive scale and extract from them their value.

Another messenger was on the high seas speeding to Fris- co. Another order of the Circuit Court was needed to secure just ice in these cases. As the close of navigation at Nome is never later than November l, and more often from October Is to Octo- Der 20 it became necessary to exercise haste. The second writ from t..e Circuit Court arrived in due time. II was an order for the arrest of Mckenzie for contempt. The Circuit Court sent officers to serve the war rant and make the arrest. When they arrived MT. Mckenzie was in the dining room of the Gold en Gate Hotel. Mr. Nelson sug gested that in order to prevent scene, he should go into the din ing room and quietly inform Me Kenzie of the presence of the officers with the warrant for his arrest. Mckenzie received the in- formation quietly and was plac- ed in custody. The gold dust that he had taken from the pro- perties was still in his possession and a demand was made upon him for it He said that he did n't have the key to the safe de- posit vault where it was stored. and that the key was in the poss ession of District Attorney Wood.
 Tie key was not produced, and Fthe defendants and their attor- neys accompanied by the officers and manager of the bank, broke the lock of the deposit vault and obtained the dust. The total val ue of the gold dust extracted by Mckenzie during his regime as receiver amounted to nearly c60O O0O

the order of the higher court. It heard evidence of the general condition of affairs at Nome, made inquiry into the method by which Judge Moves received his appointment, and obtained all the facts of McKenzie's relations with Judge Moves and his influence over him. The report of this testimony is voluminous, the re- cord of the proceedings making more than 2,OO0 printed pages.
 This report is briefly and ably summoned up in an opinion ren- dered by Judge Gilbert in pass ing sentence on Moves, as follows ........ Opinion Is Rendered ........
 Much of it tends strongly to show the existence of crimin- al conspiracy between some of the respondents, Mckenzie and others, to use the court and its processes for their private gain, and to unlawfully deprive the owners of the mines who were in possession thereof, of their property, under the forms of lawo

WHEN YOU WEAR OUT

>from starvation, as bodies starve.
Minds can die even while the body
lives on.
Every day, many times a day,
you see minds doing just this
minds falling to pieces?
without renewal malnour-
ished, starving minds dying
and dead minds.
A starving body is a horrible
sight. 1t is revolving to see half
dead flesh bloated with poiS-
onouS gases sloughing away
from the gangrenouS sores which
it lacks the vitality to heal .
stumbling like a diseased and
dying beast under the hurrying
feet of more active, healthy men.
But a starving mind is an even
more horrible sight. A mind
that is falling to pieces for lack
of proper food developing
gangrenouS sores of stupidity and
prejudice which it lacks the vi
tally to heal becoming
bloated with the poisonous gas of
conceit and suspicion.
And the most distressing part
of this condition is the fact that
we do not recognize it when we
see it particularly when it
exists in ourselves.
We say, Bills getting pretty set
in his ways" or. "BeSsie's get
ting so stuck up you can't tell her
anything" We wonder, vaguely
why the years should so MAIN
people who were once witty, eager
and warm. and secretly con,
graduate ourselves because we
aren't getting queer like that"
SIGNS
We don't realize that we are
looking at death. at the CHASTITY
processes of slow but sure disin'
tegration. We are looking at
minds that are falling to pieces
starving-looking, perhaps, with
eyes blinded by our own mai
nourishment, poisoned by. our own
ignorance and egotiSm.
But I Think" you protest in
dignantly. II read! And these
other people-their minds aren't
dying. They think and read too,
They like to talk. You oughtta
hear Bill get started on politics,
And Bessie's crazy about cooking
recipeS!"
But do you think. HooO often
do you face a challenging idea
replace a norm out notion?
Do they read. What's the UitG
min UaIue of their literature? Dc
either of you really talk? Or do
you Just absorb and repeat chat
ter?
How long could a body stay
healthy on a diet of cream puffs
and pickles? BY the same token,
a mind as surely dies on a diet of
babble and bluff.
Your body wears out. You've
built new body for yourself once
twice, thrice, or oftener. since you
were born. How often have you
built a new mind? How long since
you replaced the standards and
opinions you had at IS?

body will also be junk-youu be
using a new 1946 model.
Your body wears out. But by
feeding yourself you build a new
body. And the speed and strength
of that new body depends on what
you feed it. Any little tyke from
the fourth grade knows this {.
knows why he must eat his spin
ach and get his summer tan
what happens if he doesn't. Every
magazine in its advertisements
shouts The Gospel of the Vita
Minis to a listening respectful
world.
But there is another condition
as natural, as grimly important as
this physical fact, which few of us
realize. Not only do our bodies
wear out, need renewal
But our minds also tUeGr out.
Our thoughts and emotions are
constantly falling to pieces.
They too must be reneDed or
they perish.
To most of us, our minds are
rather mysterious things. Even
the wisest scientists do not know
what thought is, nor where nor
why it occurs. Small wonder that
the average citizen treats his mind
as zone of those things"-expects
it to function spontaneously.
DEFINITE NEEDS
But minds do not function spon-
taneously. Minds are as real as
flesh, with as definite needs as
flesh. Minds hunger just as flesh
hungerS. Minds can become NAL
nourished by improper feeding,
Just as bodies can become NAL
nourished. Minds can starve, die

HAWAII

kIA WAL
Even if you have been to
Europe many times and have also
visited the new Russia, do not
count yourself traveller until
you have made the trip to the
Hawaiian Islands and entered
Honolulu Harbor amidst music
and flowers. There is an expert
ence to light you along the road
of life, long after other memories
have dinmed.
If there is a honeymoon land,
it surely must be those blue
islands in the limpid Pacific over
which this country maintains so
kindly a charge.
If you want to have a different
vacation, then try and get to Ha-
wall. One can fly to the coast
and beautiful steamers dock at
noon of the fourth day out. And
there is no voyage across the
Atlantic to Europe, however calm
and sunny, that can compare
with the passage from San Fran
cisco or Los Angeles to Honolulu.
1t is a prelude of the joy and
glittering beauty of the islands.
HONOLULU
No article ever written, no guide
book, no matter how enthusiastic
cally done, can ever tell half of the
story of the Hawaiian Islands.
For every treveler finds out some
thing new and beautiful, no matter
how often he or she may have en-
tered Honolulu harbor.

eminent; these excerpts from a
short history Of the origin of the
District Government:
"The land within the ceded
territory was owned by a mum.
Der of people. In Georgetown,
President Washington negOti.
ated with the prOprietOrs or
landowners of that portion of
the ceded territory selected as
the site of the city of Washing
ton, which comprised about 10
per cent of the area of the
present District of Columbia.
On the second day, March 30,
1871, he concluded an agree
ment. Under this agreement
the prOprietOrs donated to the
United States all of the lands
for the streets and One-half of
the city lots throughout the en-
tire city"
This history goes on to say that
the Government bought the land
on which to erect the Federal
buildings out of the money they
got Tor selling the building lots
donated by the people.
It was expected that the Fed
eral Government would improve
the lands around the Federal
buildings and enhance the prop
erty of private owners. It failed
to do so and caused Daniel Car
roll, of Duddington, in 1887, who
originally owned the land on
which the Capitol is situated, to
write:
"That the unfortunate pro
prietOrs are generally brought
to ruin who were so wild as to
suppose that the donation was
so great the Government might

OF a big battle, along With some
gaudy trimmings which made a
smashing story-but one which, in
cidentally, had never come off.
Reed saw his job gone glimmer-
ing. Risking his life, he contacted
Villa and told him his troubles.
Villa expressed profound sympathy
and regrets.
ut is, indeed, deplOrable,
senOr," he said. But possibly it
is not too late to make amends.
If you will be kind enough to
describe the events as you have
narrated them, we will endeavOr
to adjust the difficulty"
Reed described the battle which
never happened. Villa compli-
mented him on being a good mill
tary Strategist.
"It is all within the bounds Of
possibility" he said. 1--WE can
carry through this action; but,
if you will pardon me, senior, it
must be done Immediately as, of
course, the battle must come
quickly to make your article con-
vincing."
Villa ordered wine and dinner
for his guest, withdrew with re-
newed apologies and put on his
battle according to specifications.
John Reed not only saved his job
but won great kudos for his two
day beat" on an important bat
tie.
Villa was just 20 years ahead of
the Spanish miners who have been
tossing dynamite at their enemies.
He made bombs consisting of a
stick of dynamite in a tin can,
with a fuse sticking out.
DO GOOD JOB
His men marched singing, uSu-
ally in thin ranks, to make it
harder for enemy marksmen, each
man smoking cigarette. At
Villas command each man lighted
the bomb fuse with his cigarette
and heaved the tin can, like boy
lighting and tossing a cannon
cracker. He blasted his way to
Mexico City.

They have had quite a long
workout for this war, and now
they seem to be getting into mid
season form, although correspond
ents, notably Walter Duranty, rate
it as more or less of bush-league
affair. Perhaps these references to
such tragic and dreadful events
may seem unfeeling, but, in the
view of this writer, neWSmen are
less apt to let propaganda ooze in
if they are turned loose on a story,
and the above notationS are in
that spirit.
Honest and enterprising report
ing and photographing certainly
don't do the institution Of war any
good. It's horrors can't stand too
much publicity. In the meantime,
low bow to the bullet-dodging
lads on the barricadeS who are de-
livering the story. Just telling the
truth, they are the only really eff
fective propagandists against war.
