Closed the Draws

In the person of Judge 7. ].
Cleeton, we have a most faithful
friend of the people. He is an able
iurist, conscientious in the weigh
ing of evidence, fearless and just in
his administration of justice, yet
most merciful in rendering judg-
ments.
Judge T. J. Cleeton is THE
MAN WHO CLOSED THE
DRAWS. TO support him means
to elect a champion for the people
in the drawbridge fight He is
fighting this matter to finish. To
turn him down now, would not
only deprive him of his power in
this battle, but would debar any
other man from taking up the con-
test, indicating that the people
were Indifferent as to the draws.
Judge r. J. Cleeton is opposed
to the assembly plan, believing the
direct primary to be the AMERI-
CAN method of selecting candi-
dates, most free from the domina-
ton of undesirable elements and
giving the people the greatest OPP
portunity to express their prefer
ence as to the selection of their pub.
lie servants.
In short, Judge r. J. Cleeton is
and has ever been a faithful officer,
bearing a most enviable record in
his present office as a man OF the
people, Tor the people, and there
fore should be reelected by the
people. He solicits your support.

7. J. Cleeton will be a vote for our
best interests.

names in the case Of Judge r. j.

ALASKAN FIGHT AIRED AGAIN
Removed Officials Say They Were Vic
tins of Political Clique.

Washington. May 2s.-Sensational testi-
nony in connection with the Alaskan 20
Iitical situation was again given before the
subcommittee of the Senate Committee on
the Judiciary to-day. which is investigating
protests against the appointments of John
Rustgard TO succeed John J. Boyce as
United States Attorney. and Herbert L.
Faulkner to succeed Daniel Sutherland AS
United states marshal, both in Division
No. l. of Alaska.
Delegate wickersham completed his state
nnent charging that the new appointees
were subservient to the Gusgenhein inter
ests.
Boyce and Sutherland were heard They
protested that they were removed at the
instisation of a political clique represented
by Louis Shsckleford. Republican National
Committeeman for Alaska : Ex-Governor ".
B Hogsatt and Governor Walter E. Clark
The dismissed officers asserted that their
removal vas based on prosecutions of per
sons associated with the Gusgenheim fac
ton, and that the men appointed TO succeed
them were taken from that clique.
Louis hackleford said that Rustgard and
Faulkner were men Of high character. He
cha rged that Sutherland, the deposed mar
shall was a member of the Western Fed
Grafton Of Miners. The intention appeared
to be to influence Senator Borah, who was
once attacked In Idaho by the federation.
Senator Borah asked shackleford for proof.
but it was not given.

CAUCUS ON POSTAL BANKS
No Agreement Reached at Sec

from The Tribune Bureau.

Washington May 26-The second caucus
OF Republican members of the House on the
postal savings bank bill was held tonight.
Progress on the bill was made, but no
agreement was reached. and another eau
Gus will be held tomorrow night. The most
important action taken tonight was the
approval of the part OF the bill which limits
the maximum amount Of individual deposits
to $500 Representative Madden was op-
posed to this limit and offered five amend
ments to Increase the amount. His first
amendment authorized q deposit of $3.50
When this was defeated he wanted the
amount fixed at 81 ,000.
When Section 9 was reached there was
general debate and from thirty to forty
amendments were offered. This section re-
ings funds and provides that the govern
ment NAV withdraw up to .T1s per cent Of
the deposits. Some members of the caucus
were opposed to granting the government
the right to withdraw any Of the funds
from the local banks while others felt that
IL would not be improper TO authorize the
government to withdraw SIS much as 90 per
cent. No action on this section WAS taken
The caucus tonight was harmonious,
and. although there are wide differences OF
opinion as to the details of the bill, it is be-
lieved that an agreement will be reached on
a measure which can be passed by Republi-
can votes.

Chicago, May 26--FoIlowing the organiza-
tion of a new theatre trust in the offices
of Levy Mayer. the attorney. here to-day,
representatives of the combination hurried
from Chicago in dozen directions to close
contracts for building new playhouses or
demonstrating existing ones
Action will be taken first in Burlington,
Davenport and Des Moines, Iowa. and
Quincy and Springfield. I'LL. Texas and Mis-
souri, are two other states where the agents
will be busy tomorrow. At the same time,
it was stated tonight, representatives OF
the new organization will be active in the
South and Far West. The closing of
contract in Atlanta was announced to-
night.
The entire territory of the country has
been divided among the agents, so that by
autumn the task of building may be well
under way. BY July il is predicted one
hundred contracts for new or reconstructed
theatres will have been made, mostly in
the Middle West and Southwest.
The expansive movement will be least no
ticeabIe in the East, where the ground is
more completely occupied than elsewhere
The total number of theatres in the United
States owned or controlled under long-term
leases by the trust will probably be close
to two hundred and fifty by the new year.
in the conservative estimate OF the man
ayers.
Levy Mayer. general manager of the syn
dictate. in whose office the legal work is
being carried out, was asked tonight re-
garding these matters. and said:
These are matters which concern our
office and clients exclusively, and what
ever informat ton is made public must come
from the headquarters of the syndicate in
New York Whatever does not come from
that source is more or less outside guess
ing"
One of the Eastern members Of the
syndicate. before leaving this city. said:
THE plan being carried out is result Of
several years of careful study and because
Of the necessities and requirements Of our
syndicate business. We have for long
time owned and controlled most Of the
principal theatres in all Of the leading cities
Of the United States.
I'VE have endeavored to give our pro
auctions in the medium sized and smaller
cities throughout the country. The theatres
in these places have been run by what are
known as circuit mana gers In a. num-
Der of instances we have found that con-
tracts with them have, stability and
were broken as readily as an old pipe stem
No matter how conscientious we have been
in booking our plays In these small places.
We have frequently found that we could
place no reliability in the management. At
times We could not tell a dav in advance
whether their contracts were good or would
De broken. -.t 800
we therefore resolved no longer to be at
the mercy of such shiftless practices Fur
thermore many of the theatres in the small
cities have become Anticipated and have
been allowed to run down, so that they do
not furnish adequate facilities for our first
class productions and their scenic accom-
paniments-~ We therefore concluded to
build, purchase or make long term leases of
playhouses whereby we could remedy the
situa ton.
