him like grapes off vine. AS he
took the platform he walked briskly
to each of the three judges and
gave than a kiss on the cheek.
Then, with a click of his heels, he
reached down for the railroad axle
and wheels Here was a great
grunt as he yanked $50 pound
weight into the air and brought it
smartly on line with his chest.
A seconds pause, and the referee,
gentleman in shirt sleeves and a
red tie, slapped his hands sharply.
This was the signal for the strong
boy to push the bar above his head.
Another tremendous grunt, and the
hardware was high in the air
Thunderous applause rocked the
wall. A world record was announc-
ed.
Then came some curious bits of
business. Two flunkies rushed onto
the platform with pair of scales
and there, right under the lights
and in pretty full view of the
crowd, willing hands stripped the
clothes off the Egyptian. He didn't
seem to mind; in fact he seemed to
enjoy 1t as they yanked off his
pants and shirt.
Tt turned out the undressing Is
very important part of weight
lighting to a worlds record. In
this case the Egyptian was supposed
to weigh within a certain limit, and
the judges wanted to be sure he
hadn't tucked himself around a
bunch of bananas or sirloin before
giving the hardware the works.
This sort of thing went on for
hours. And a weight lifters reward,
they say, is the chance to pursue
some intellectual sport such as
wrestling or hammer throwing.

THE STORY BEGINS: Judge Moves Arrives


 Arthur H. Moves received the appointment to the position of the first federal judge of the Sec ond Judicial Division of Alaska. He arrived at Nome July 18th, 1900. The citizens of this com munity welcomed his arrival, not because things were in chaotic condition, nor because there was an absence of law and order; but there was need of court and the exercise of the civil authority with which a court is vested.
 During the summer of 1899 and the ensuing winter miners meet ings had attempted to formulate rules, military authority, repre- sented by a squad of soldiers from the post at St. Mchael, had assisted in maintaining order, a consent government had been or ganized and had conducted the affairs of the town, a chamber of commerce composed of represen- tative citizens had done its share in providing funds for necessary municipal work, and had exercis ed a wholesome moral force.
 Judge Johnson Held Court 1899.
 In the fall of 1899 Judge C. s. Johnson had made his long and memorable circuit of Alaska, & had held a term of court in Nome but the eXactions of his made this term necessarily brief. He left United States Commissioner at Nome, who was selected by the Consent Government as the mum .icipal judge; but he did not have jurisdiction over any title cases. Disputes over town property and mining claims had to await the incoming of the new federal judge for their adjudication. Through the efforts of the mili- tary authority a status quo of these disputes was maintained. Had 1t not been for the soldiers, the deputy marshal left at Nome, and the police force of the Con- sent Government, probably there might have been some serious conflicts over properties in dis Pute' II was the prospect of a settlement of these contentious that made the arrival of Judge Moves an occasion of moment.
 Seldom did a court have SO much work to do, or a better op- portunity to make record that would win for it the respect and esteem of the community. There IS an old saying about "the fat Jumping from the frying pan into the fire" and this describes the condition of affairs prior to and

also show the methods by which he attempted to get these proper ties. There is in these records an intimation that others, high in the councils of the nation, were associated with Mckenzie. There is no evidence that the Alaska Gold Mining Company ever exist ed. Mckenzie was president and Hubbard secretary of this reput- ed organization.
 Mckenzie Brings Useless
 Machinery to Nome
 Machinery for mining opera tions was brought to Nome by the president of this so-called company. It proved useless and was subsequently, unloaded on one of the large mines where a receiver was in charge of the property. If he did not represent the Alaska Gold Minisg Company he was 'tarred with the same stick"
 Mckenzie and Judge Moves
 Get Together
 According to MT. Hume's testi- mony, prior to the arrival of the court he had carefully prepared the complaints in the cases that were to be submitted. When Judge Moves came ashore Me Kenzie visited Hume's office and asked for the complaints. They were given to him and he took them away, and returning after the lapse of an hour or more, said to MT. Hume: Judge Moves says these complaints are not proper ly prepared" Mckenzie then told him the kind of papers that Judge Moves wanted. The order delivered by MT. Mckenzie neces sitated the issuance of new com plaints, and MT. Hume and his stenographers were kept busy fo1 thirty-siX hours continuous work in order to accomplish the task AS a result of this hurried work these complaints were crude, no' properly prepared, and some o1 them were submitted to the cour unsigned. The properties in dis pute were Nos. 1 and 2 below

Moves. Instead of an adjustment of the conditions which threaten ed the peace of the camp, addi- tional snarls were put in the tan gle of contention and litigation. Judge Announces His Intention
 of Going to St. Michael
 Upon his arrival Judge Moves announced his intention of going to St. Michael, which had been designated as the seat of his gov- ernment, to spread his appoint ment upon the records. He in- formed attorneys that court would not be held until his return, and until after the publication in a newspaper for the statutory time of notice announcing the term of court. Notwithstanding this announcement he heard an ex parte complaint in chambers inn mediately after his arrival and granted temporary injunction and appointed a receiver on one of the richest mining claims in the country. This was the begin ming of the regime of injunctions and receivers.
 Irregular Methods of Stalking
 Mining Claims, 1899
 To begin at the beginning of this story: In 1899 there was a great deal of dissatisfaction over what was called irregular meth ods of stalking mining claims. It was averred that SWedes and missionaries travelling by the aid of the Government reindeer and stalking for themselves and by power of attorney for their un- cles and their cousins and their aunts," had acquired the most val uable property in the country. It was also averred that stakes had been removed to afford people the opportunity of relocating property. Threatened law suits resulted from these contentious.
 Attorneys For Contestants
 of disputed Claims
 Among the lawyers of Nome were the firm of Hubbard & Bee man and William T. Hume. These gentlemen were the attorneys for the contestants of most of the disputed claims, notably of pro- posed contests for valuable pro- perty on Anvil & Dexter creeks. MT. Hubbard had been a clerk in the Attorney Generals office dur ing President Cleveland's admin istration. In the fall of 1889 he went to Washington taking with him the testimony of the plain tiffs in these cases. Prior to his departure combination had been effected by these attorneys so that the firm name was Hub bard, Beeman & Hume. Their interests being mutual they deem ed it wise and expedient to form this partnership, and thereby pool the issues which were to be submitted to the court.
 MT. Hume made a statement to the writer, that MT. Hubbard sub mitted the evidence in favor of their clients, which had been gathered in the form of affidavits to a prominent federal official of the law department at Washing ton, who informed him that the testimony was sufficient to secure a favorable verdict. The records of the Federal Circuit Court in San Francisco show that Alexan- der Mckenzie, an eminent poli-

AyIesworth, of R-K-0, Says
Double Feature Program
Should Be Abolished.
MR. AND MRS,
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, October 15.-
Merlin H. Aylesworth, chairman OF the
Board of the adio-Keith- -Orpheum
Corp, last night predicted an increase
in motion picture theater admission
prices and the abolition Of the double
feature" program, which he called "a
wasteful, injurious practice"
Speaking before a banquet Of mo-
ton picture engineers here, Ayles-
worth said, Attendance is closely ap-
preaching the peak figure Of 1929,
when you engineers brought sight aa
well as sound to the motion picture
industry.
"Yet in most instances the price OF
admission Is lower than it was eight
years ago, and in many cases two
feature pictures are given for q price
less than was paid for fine picture
eight years ago.
I'VE have now returned to prosper
ity and there Is no reason why the
public should not voluntarily pay an
admission price commensurate with
the service offered"
" - Motion picture attendance Is
a habit and the picture interest must
be sustained. The practice Of giving
away one grade A picture with one
grade B picture Is like eating too much
ice cream at one time, and when the
public is fully informed, the theater
industry will have no trouble doing
away with what I consider a wasteful,
injurious practice, which does not
properly serve the public who pay to
see good pictures and are entirely sat
isfied with good feature, interesting
shorts, and a newsreel."

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va,
October 15.-Seeking to clear the way
for an early start on construction OF
the Lee Boulevard approach to Me-
mortal Bridge, County Manager
Frank C. Hanrahan and Representa-
tive Howard w. Smith will confer
with Secretary of War Harry H.
Woodring in few days on the ques-
tion of a right-of-way through the
Fort Myer reservation.
They will ask Secretary Woodring's
approval of bill to be presented
at the next session of Congress to
deed the right-of-way through the
military reservation to Virginia. A
copy of the bill was received yester-
day by Hanrahan from Henry G.
Shirley, chairman of the State High
way Commission.
In August, Commissioner Shirley
told Hanrahan he will proceed with
the Lee Boulevard work as soon as the
War Department gives approval to
the bill ceding right-of-way to the
State. The sum of $150,000 is avail
able for the work.
The bill has been drawn up by At
torney General A. P. Staples at the
request of Commissioner Shirley. II
asks for a right-ofway across the
northwest corner of the reservation
Support of the proposed legislation
was recently voted by the National
Capital Park Planning Commission in
q move to speed the Memorial ap-
proach project.
The State already has started work
on q three-quarter-mile stretch OF
the boulevard approach on the weSt
side Of Fort Myer. This will connect
with another mile running across the
corner of the reservation and into
Memorial Bridge north of the present
approach to Arlington National Gem
etery.
Completion of the Lee Boulevard
has been delayed several years over
the question of its passage through
the military reservation. 1t Is needed
to relieve traffic congestion on the
narrow Arlington Ridge road and VIII
son Boulevard.
