Among the recommendations adopted by the Alaska convention was one that is of particular inter est to Valdez, as follows;
 "The congress of the United States be, and they are hereby, re- quested to amend the municipal incorporation law of the district of Alaska, and authorize any munich lmlity. by vote, to change and ex- tend its corporate limits.'
 Such an amendment would be a great advantage to our town. but it is very unlikely that any of the Seattle delegates will take interest enough in this section to urge its adoption, and it is more unlikely that it would do any good if they did favor it.
The Alaska prospector., 1905-12-14

The friends of the terri,orialists have show iimuch anger when told that the democratic politicians of Alaska were behind the ''Ameri- can" push. At the Seattle conyen- tion democrat was elected chair man of the convention. Two of the three straw delegates to con gress are democratic politicians. and the chairman and secretary of the permanent committee are dem ocrats.
 Out of the six places of honor" only one is filled by republican, The Juneau delegation was turned over to democrat and the whole organization is controlled by dem- orats.-Transcript.

Delegate Ryan says: While the platform of the recent conven- tion demands-a territorial form of government. it is a we'll known fact that the big monied interests of Alaska are opposed to the en- actment of such law at this time. on account of the immense expense that would be attached. |, is not desirable to discourage capital from entering. Alaska at this par ticular time, and the territorial government question will not be strongly urged at this time unless some of the senators or congress men can dev'se form that will meet with she demands and at the same time come within q reason- able expense.

The convention urged ''for the convenience of the Third division" that land office be established at Fairbanks. An investigation of the Juneau records would disclose the fact that where there is one application for patent in the Panama district there are hundred, in the country tributary to Valdez. Where is the convenience in hay ing these records at Fairbanks? There should be another land office, but 1t should be at Valdez.

Detectives Work Hard
On New Developments

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 24.-Detec-
tives here. when questioned today con-
cernfng the new developments pointing
to an attempt to bribe the doctors who
performed the autopsy on the body Of
Mrs Stanford. said that there is d
strong probability now that the whole
inquiry into the death of the aged phil
authropist will be reopened and carried
out with more searching endeavors than
were shown at the former investigation
New facts have come 10 light and are
in the possession of the police. which
would lead to the conclusion that Mrs
Stanford's s death has at last been traced
TO the act Of one of her servants. in
placing the strychnine in the fatal bot
tie of bicarbonate Of soda. either in this
city or in Honolulu.
1t is said that the new evidence was
secured through the chance remark OF
one of the witnesses at the former police
investigation nero. to determine how the
poison came to be mixed with the BIZ
carbonate, which Mrs. Stanford put into
the glass Of water, creating potion
that caused her death in horrible agony
within a few minutes.
The mystery, and, as Yet seeming un-
called for secrecy that marked seVerGI
phases of the police investigation nj
Honolulu after Mrs Stanford died. sup
posedly of poison. is likely now to be
cleared up by he inquiry into the
charges of attempted bribery Of the au-
topsy surgeons at Honolulu.

ed as surety

gaman said that at present it was Del
aplane station. Fauquier county, Va.
HIS address when he returned to Wash
inston. he said, would be his old home
$500 o street northwest
Mr.. Waggaman had the appearance of
a very i'll man, It Is said he is suffer
Ing from heart disease. While his ap-
Tearance is greatly changed from whar
IL was TWO years ago. the difference
may be the result OF his having grown
q full gray beard When questioned by
the clerk of the court as 10 his resi-
dence, he spoke in a strong, clear voice
Another circumstance which showed
that MI Waggaman was not a victim
OF nervousness. was MS manner of
signing his name to the form of bond.
He took up the pen without the slight
est culver and asked: Where do l
siEu?' The place having been pointed
out by Mr.. Given, he wrote with a
steady hand. the signature being the

inquiry at Honolulu and in this city 10
determine the cause Of the death Of
Mrs. Jane L Stanford, known all over
the world for her magnificent endow-
ments toward the cause of education.
High Sheriff Hart, of Honolulu, was
first strongly of the opinion that Mrs.
Stanford had been poisoned ana by his
direction the coroner's jury found a Ver~
dict that Mrs. Stanford came to her
death from strychnine introduced into
a bottle of bicarDonate of SODA with
felonious intent by some person or per-
sons unknown,
President David Starr Jordan, Of The
Leland Stanford, Jr. CniYerslty, ana Il1
Timothy J. Hopkins. Il member or the
board of trustees of the stanford estate,
arrived in Honolulu the day the core
ner's jury verdict was rendered. and
thereafter the investigation into the
dearh took a different complexion
Sheriff Hart's investigation grew list
less and he finally expressed the opinion
that Mrs Stanford had died from fright.
The report of the chemical analysis was
DELAYED and finally suppressed. Then
President Jordan and AiT. Hopkins gave
out a written statement in which they
declared that Mrs. STANFORD death was
not due to SIrychuine poisoning.
In reply to this Drs. Wood. Day.
and Humphries. who had performed the
autopsy, replied over their signatures
declaring that Mrs. Stanford died during
characteristic strychnine poison convul-
sions; that a post m0rtem rigidly pecu-
liar TO cases OF that class of poisoning
was observed; the post mOFIem revealed
no other cause OF DEATH and, lastly. the
post mOrtem gave in every respect the
evidence OF authenticated cases of
strychnire poisoning.
IT is likely that it was the issuance of
this statement which determined the
executors of Mrs. Stanfords estate 10

Medical Men Said to Have
Been Offered Money
Inducements.
TOREVERSE THE FINDINGS
Representatives Alleged TO
Have Sought to OVerturn
Strychnine Verdict.

HONOLULU, Aug. PA sensation has
been caused here by the publication in
a local newspaper OF an article stating
that representatives of the Stanford es-
tate practically offered monetary induce
ments to local physicians to change their
opinion that stryehinine caused the
death Of Mrs Jane l. Stanford.
1t is alleged in the article that the
bill of Sf50 of DR.. c. B. Wood. who per-
formed the autopsy on the body of Mrs
Stanford, has been refused payment by
the estate on the ground that the Ter
ritorial authorities should have perform
ed the autopsy"
DR.. Wood has made statement that
he was employed On behalf of the es-
tate by DR.. Humphries and the latter
said the refusal to pay DR.. Wood was
amazing, as he considered the employ
ment of private autopsy physician to
be proper
Wanted Finding Reversed.
The newspaper article says that in
different interviews a representative of
the estate indicated 10 the physicians
that il would be satisfactory to the
estate If they could revise their find
iLgs Of poisoning. In such even their
bills were not to be questioned, and
Drs. Humphrias, Day, and Wood would
be paid the amount of their claims.
Each of the three doctors were en-
gagged today IN preparing statement
to place his version OF the Sclentlf1c
facts of the case before the public in
a final justification OF the decision con-
Cerning the death OF MIS- Stanford.
