HASEY TRIAL |S
 TALK 0F THE CITY
Government Disappointed in Testimony of Several of
 Its Witnesses.

Post mortem discussion of the Hasey trial has been the prevailing topic of conversation in Valdez today, the incentive being the fact that many of the witnesses from here re- turned from Juneau on the Bertha. That the trial was bitterly fought one and that the outcome, while a disappointment to the prosecution was no surprise is evident from the stories told by the witnesses.
 There was much feeling in Juneau and according to some of the witness ses the newspapers of that city took sides with the defense. One outcome of this feeling was a fight between Secret Service Operative McAdams and one of the baliffs who had charge of the jury. It is said that there were allegations by the prosecution to the effect that the baliffs were little too friendly with the jurors, but that not enough evidence could be obtained to make the charges stick.
 McAdams, it is said, met one of the baliffs and made personal accusations against him with the result that the men fought, McAdams getting the worst of the encounter.
 The prosecution met setback by some of those it depended upon as witnesses failing to give the testimony expected of them. The death of As sistant District Attorney Scott, who had charge of the case for the gov ernment, also hampered the prosecu- tiOn and before the case went to the jury it was evident to many of those in attendance on the trial that the verdict would be for the defense. The defense is credited with conducting its case in masterly manner.
 At the time the witnesses left Juneau no action had been taken with regard to the other indictments brought against Hasey.

GUGGENHE|MS
 ARE UNDER FIRE
Hamilton's Committee Wants to Know Why Alaska Cop
 per Is Not Being Dug.

Congressman Hamilton, of Michi- gan, is after the Guggenheims. He wants to know what they are aiming at in Abaska. To get that informal tion he has begun a sharp campaign of questioning in the house committee on territories.
 That committee is now having hear ings on bill intended to encourage the construction of railroads in Alas ka. In attendance at the hearings are many persons familiar with the terri tory, and who have information about the activities of the Guggenheims. The inquiry is prompted by the stories of seemingly unaccountable opposi- tion which the plans of the house committee have met in the senate. The trend of the stories is to show that the Guggenheims aim to trans form Alaska into sort of Guggen- helm principality, in which the United States government will have the great privilege of policing and afording protection, while the Gug- genheims, fattening on what is be- coming monopoly, exploit the min eral wealth of the country at their own pleasure. Allegations have also been made about the unexpected ways in which small claim owners have found that their claims have slipped from them, and that title is now vested in the Guggenheim interests.
 AS nearly as can be told at this time, the Guggenheims appear to be playing waiting game. They have projected q railroad into their large copper deposits, but their work is mostly on paper. Near the coast they have done a little grading, and that is all, so far as the cOmmitte IS advised. For some unknown reason the gentlemen of the shelter trust do not seem to care to open up the Ala skan copper deposits just yet. Per haps they do not care to risk the chance that new supply of copper would reduce the price.
 This winter they have openly op- posed an extension of time in the in torest of an independent company which wished to construct road in- to the interior. Two years ago the committee perfected Il bill to incor- porate a company on land grant basis. The bill provided that the company, consisting of men of means should tap the interior of Alaska, within q given time. Right-of-way was given, as well as station sites and location for city. But the gentlemen who were thus to be cm- powered, according to the commit tees plan, had no connection with the smelter trust.
 The trust, so MT. Hamilton is satis- fled, had a strong lobby in Washing ton. When the bill went over into the senate, it fell into a graveyard. No Guggenheim was at that time d member of the senate, and MT. Ham ilton and his colleagues would really like to know what influence buried their bill.-Detroit News, April Q.
