CONTROL OF ALASKA
SENATE COMMITTEE HEARS HOW
GUGGENHEIMs OPERATE.
The Trust Control Federal Officials
and Spend Large Sum to Corrupt

and Spend Large Sum to Corrupt
the Courts.
Investigation by subcommittee
of the Senate judiciary committee of
Of the Senate jdiciary committee of
the latest Alaskan scandal produced
startling revelations last week of
the power and the methods of the
Morgan Guggenheim combinations,
and some serious charges against
Federal officers in the territory, as
creatures of this combination. The
proceedings so far have been secret,
but an effort will be made to have
them thrown open to the public. or
to have the testimony published i'm
mediately.
The matter under investigation is
the removal of John S. Boyce, United
States district attorney, and Daniel
A. Sutherland, United States marshal
at Juneau, Alaska. These two men
had prosecuted employees of the Nor
gan-Guggenheim combination for
murder, and were reaching out for
general officers of the combination
suspected of instigating the murder.
Upon the recommendation of Walter
E. Clark, governor of the territory,
the two men were summarily dis
charged from office on the eve OF
the proposed action, and their sue
cessors were nominated to the Sen
ate.
Boyce and Sutherland are not seek
ing to be restored to office. They
say that they desire nothing more
than to place before the Senate the
facts, as they see them, connected
with their removal. According to
their story, they incurred the emnity
of the Guggenheims because of their
prosecution and conviction of Ed
Hasey on the charge of having shot
and killed two men in keystone can
yon in October, 1907.
Hasey was employed by the Gug-
genheims, and it was charged that
he shot the two men while trying to
guard keystone pass against the In
vasion of the representatives of a
rival concern, which was seeking en-
trance to the pass as a route for
railroad line. Hasey was convicted
and sentenced to serve Is months in
a federal penitentiary.
Boyce and Switzerland claim that
they discovered that men higher
up" in the Guggenheim services were
responsible for the affair at Keystone
Pass. The two Federal officials say
they were removed from office on
the eve of bringing proceedings
against others believed by them to
have been implicated in the Key
stone affair.
A young man named Douglass, who
had been an auditor in the employ
of the Guggenheims, was called be-
fore the committee last week. He
testified that $4,000 had been eX-
pended prior and during the Hasey
trial and he charged that the ex-
penditures had been made for the
entertainment of jurors and other
wise as a corruption fund to defeat
the prosecution by Federal officers
Delegate Wickersham, the repres-
entative of the territory in the
House, charged before the commit
tee that Gov. Clark and any other
Federal officeholders in the territory
are creatures of the Morgan-Guggen-
helm combination, and that the con-
troll of the combination over the gov
ernment of the territory will be alb
solutely complete if the new district
attorney and marshall are confirm
ed by the senate.

MET FEARFUL FATE.
Little Two Year Old Girl Falls in
Burning Oil.

CuA Vie
The State says Gertrude Isabel,
the two year old daughter of G. G.
Ochmig, died Sunday as result of
burns sustained Saturday afternoon
by accidentally falling into a tub
of hot cooking oil. Mr.. Ochmig, a
baker, was absent from home at the
time and the oil was for use in the
preparation of doughnuts. The child
in some manner escaped the vigi-
lance of the family and wandered to
the spot where the oil had been
placed. The child's back and limbs
were severely scalded. DR.. DuBose
was hastily summoned and the lit
tie childs' suffering alleviated for
the time, but medical skill proved
unavailing, the burns covering so
large a portion of the body and be-
ing of so severe nature.

Nash Injured BY Fall

John A. Nash is nursing his left arm
very carefully because of painful injur-
les received while jumping from train
up at Manning. On Tuesday evening
of last week after he had put in a good
days wofk in trying to save Audubon
County from the arrogant rule of the
standpatters, Mr.. Nash concluded to go
to Lake Okoboji to attend to a matter
of business. The Great Western train
which he wanted TO take pulled into
Manning alongside of rhe Northwestern
train which runs two blocks farther on
before stopping. In order to catch the
train he jumped while it was going
faster than he suspected with the result
that he landed in the ditch on his left
arm which was scratched and badly
bruised. When he reached Lohrville he
called on aphysician who dressed his arm
and he continued his journey notwith-
standing he suffered much from pain.
He is to be congratulated that he escaped
with no permanent injury which might
easily have been the result of the acct
dent.
