Roberta Semple, over the manage
ment of the evangeliSt'S AngeluS

today following the filing of a
$15O,OOO damage suit, alleging

Miss Semple charged in the suit,
which named Attorney Willed An

drews had slandered her by as
sertedly sponsoring the following
statement:
Mrs. Mcpherson has been
intimidated, threatened and
blackmailed for the last time.
This time she is prepared to
fight to the finish. While she
regrets that the war will be
with her own flesh and blood
with her own daughter-the

protection from destruction Of

The blunt assertion that no
court has constitutional right to
pass on a Senate impeachment
decree was made before the
five justices of the Court of
Claims today as oral arguments
opened on the Ritter case.
Declaring that Halstead Ritter

Senate last April as a Federal
judge for the southern district
of Florida has no constitutional
right to appeal from the verdict,
Government Attorney James w.
Morris said:

Court of Claims or any other
court, for that matter, does not

tiOn to approve or diSapprOve the
action of the Senate in impeach-
ment proceedings. The power to
impeach a Federal judge lies
with the Senate. and the Senate
alone. Its verdict is final"
In a long plea that opened the
hearing, Morris declared that Rit-
ter's action in bringing suit for
pay for the month of April was a
side issue, and that the real pur-
pose of his appearance before the
court was to seek indictment OF the
Senate'S ruling.

Seventh Installment

According to the testimony some of the mines were "gutted."
 The appointment of the Receiv- CT was, in the case of Chipps vs. Lindeberg, almost immediately followed by an order authorizing the Receiver to take into his pos session all the personal property of the defendants which was to be found upon the claim, includ- ing their stores. provisions, tools and tents. The order so made was so arbitrary and so unwar- ranted in law as to baffle the mind in it's efforts to comprehend how it could have issued from a court of justice. That it was not inadvertent is shown by the fact that before making it, Judge Mo- yes was reminded that the suit involved the placer mining claim only, and by the further fact that the order was preceded by the threat to tie up" the defendants and take away their property, & was followed three weeks later by the deliberate execution of several similar orders in the oth- CT four cases. The appo :ntment of the Receiver in each case was in direct violation of the Code of Alaska, under which the court was organized, 31 Stats, 25l, sec tion 753, which provides as fol- lows:
 "A receiver may be appointed in any civil action or proceeding, other than an acton for the re- covery of specific personal pro- perty-First, provisionally, before judgment on the application of either party, when his right tc the property which is the subject of the action or proceeding, and which is in the possession of an adverse party is probable, and the property or ;ts rents or pro- fits are in danger of being lost or materially injured or impaired.

bitrary and oppressive action of the court in McKenzie's favor in cases in which he was receiver or was interested, notably, the case of the Topkuk mine. It is shown that two of the original locators of that mining property went to Judge Moves upon his arrival at Nome and complained of the action of certain trespass- CTS, and that he referred them to his private secretary, Wheeler, saying that the latter was about to resign his office and take up the practice of the law; that they went to Wheeler, and that he proposed that if they would give him a one-half interest in the mine, he would secure them the full possession of their pro- perty within "A hours; that they refused this exorbitant demand, and after some discussion were about to engage his services in consideration of a one eighth in- terest, when negotiations were dropped for the reason, it is sug- gested in the evidence, that Nc Kenzie had become interested on the other side. An action of ejectment was then commenced by the persons whom the locators complained of, and one Cameron was immediately appointed by the court, receiver of the mining property upon a bond of $10,0O0.
 He proceeded to operate the mine upon an extensive scale, re- fused to use the machinery which the owners had placed there at an expense of $6,0O0, and instead rented machinery from Mckenzie at the rate of $50 per day and bought supplies of him to the amount of $7,8O0. The owners attempted to protect their inter ests. They challenged the suffic- iency of the bond and the ability of the sureties to respond, but without avail.
 They attempted to watch the claan-ups, but their right to be present was den.ed by the receiv CT. They applied to the court for relief, but the only relief they could obtain was an order that one of their number who was de- gnated by name, be permitted 10 be prsent at each cleanup sim .taneously with enc of the plain
