lohr, F. H. Thatcher, trustee, C. E
Darling trustee, and E. E. Powell
trustee, defendants.
This, what is technically knowi
as a judgment creditor's bill has i
complaint some fifty pages long anc
is a legacy, so to say, from the
dredging activities of E. E. Powel1
in these parts. The plaintiff has a

*30,920 with interests and cost;
against the Nome Consolidated Co.
and they recently took execution
i hut the Marshal returned with the
1 statement of no assets for the Con
i solidated Co.
• Briefly the history of this case is
• that judgment was obtained in the
Court of Common Pleas of
Philadelphia, Pa., by the
Plaintiff company against the Nome
Consolidated for the above amount
which was on notes dated as far
back as 1914 for machinery and
other supplies to the Nome Con
solidated. Last year a suit based
upon this judgment was filed in the
District Court by William A. Gil
more, attorney for plaintiff and
judgment rendered accordingly in
October 4, 1916 by Judge Tucker.
Recently on this judgment, when
execution was sought to bo obtained
there was no property.
The complaint in the present suit
alleges that Powell acting as agent
and trustee foreclosed two fake
mortgages and annexed al the Nome
Consolidated Co's assets, real and
personal including dredges, ma
chinery etc. Subsequently it is
claimed he organized the new com
pany named the Alaska Mines Cor
poration and deeded over the assets.
Plaintiff asks for a receiver to take
possession and hold, but not to ope
rate the assets while it litigates the
cancellation of the foreclosure of
the alleged fraudulent mortgages.
I.ast evening the Court signed an
order returnable Tuesday, July 17

tion for a receiver William A. Gil
more and T. M. Reed are attorneys
for the plaintiffs.
FOOD BILL NEARS
ITS FINAL PASSING
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 10.—
The food bill is now on the way to
completion with the Senate practi
cally finished its labors. That it
will pass the conference committee
before the end of the week is cet
tain and will be immediately signed
by the President. The disputed pro
hibition clauses will probably result
in a compromise.
After the food bill, the regular
business of the Rivers and Harbors
Rill already very badly delayed wilt
likely be taken up.
Tiie government’s aero appropria
tion bill will be pressed for passage
and is likely to experience little op
position.
It is understood that just as soon
as the registration lists are properly
classified as to those entitled to ex
emption. aliens and citizens subject
to service, the draft will be ar
ranged for.
The departments are all busy
with war business and great ad
vances are being made. The report
of the increased crop production has
been used as a belated argument
against the food bill by the interests
that have been in open opposition
to it for some itme. This however
will not avail anything.
The revenue bill is now approach
ing its final shape in the Senate but
it is recognized that it will lead to a
bitter fight in both Houses before
its final passage. Meantime, it gives
right of way to the Food Control
law.
Now Is too time to Snhsrrlhe.
ILLINOIS GOVERNOR IS
OPPOSED ON LABOR SILL
SPRINGFIELD, 111., July 10.—
In vain did Governor Louden try to
revive the women’s 8-hour bill
which was rejected recently by the
state Senate. He sent a special
message in which he pointed out
that in the political platlorm «f the
dominant party a pledge had been
made to establish this regulation.

He was informed lliat on account of
the war such reform was unpa
triotic.
“Clearly, wo are committed to le
gislation which will substantially
limit the hours of labor for women
employed in industrial pursuits,”
said Governor Lowden. «.
“But it is said that war alters
the situation. I submit that if it
does alter the situation, it makes
this legislation more imperative.
England thought at the opening of
the war that it was made necessary
because of the war to increase
rather than decrease the number of
hours of labor. It has been shown
very conclusively by the experience
of England that this Increase was
at the expense of both efficiency
and economy.
“The British government last
year, after an exhaustive investiga
tion through a very able committee,
reached the conclusion that, from
every standpoint, that of efficiency
I as well as the health of the women,
overtime should be abolished and an >
S-hour day established for them. .
Hence the argument of even tempo
rary necessity fails. Moreover, let
us not forget the purpose of this
legislation.
"War must, of necessity, impair 1
the fatherhood of future genera-,'
tions. Doubly important is it, then
that we take every precaution to ■
I protect the mothers of the next gen
eration. I believe that need for
legislation limiting the hours of
I workk for women is more impera
tive than if we were at peace.”

PETROGRAD, July 10.—The Rus
sians are now attacking alternately
with varying severity at widely diff
erent points, thus practically pre
venting the German forces diverting
troops from one section to another
as has been the previous method
of the Teutons.
Yesterday the Pinsk fighting saw
relative quiet supervene, while in
Galicia the struggle was renewed
with tenfold violence.
Again the Russians ha ,’e taken
possession of the Hrzezany heights
. which have now been the scene of
I such severe struggling and so much
I bitter fighting. They are advancing
j closer to Lemberg with the north
ern wing striking downward to ef
fect a junction with the southern

AMSTERDAM, July 10.—It Is re
ported from Berlin that the German
government in occupation of that
section of Rumania conquered last
fall, has levied a fine of fifty mil

of the conquered territory. It is
also intimated that the fine had been
‘‘collected”.
No fighting is reported from Ru

LONDON, July 9.—Today infant

the place of the artillery bombard

Gains were made of several hund

of the Searpe in the fighting which
was continued in that sector also.

German advices coming through

will be the signal for a great drive
of the combined Central powers

the entente nations are maintaining
