SAYS W|CKERSHAM
IS IMPLICATED IN
ALASKA SCANDAL
Delegate Alleges His Neglect of
Fraud Charges Cost United
States $4,000.

WASHINGTON, July ia whole
sale Investigation of the activities of
the department of justice and it's
agents in Alaska is promised in a reso-
luton Offered by Delegate Wickersham,
which the House judiciary committee
has decided to report favorably. The
resolution followed correspondence be-
tween Delegate Wlckershan and At
torney- General Wickersham, in which
the delegate accused agents of the
Alaska syndicate of a whole string OF
crimes-for instance, hat a grand
jury was packed and "a deputy United
States district attorney was bribed."
Attorney-General Wickersham is in
volved in a charge by the delegate that
he ignored plain evidence of fraud that
cost the government about $50, 600, nm
til the statute of limitations had run.
and evidence hat an agent of the syn
dicate had tempered with grand jurors
and government witnesses in a murder
case growing out of a clash of rail-
way interests.
Says He Has Proofs.
Delegate Understands resolution
calls on the department of justice for
information and documents bearing on
the string of cases. AS a matter of
fact, however, he has what purports
to be proof of many of the itemized
charges concerning the departments
agents in Alaska, and the cal object
of the resolution is to draw forth al
explanation of what he considers the
inactivity of the department heads
here in regard to the matter. He is
on the trail of "men higher up" and
while his resolution does not order an
investigation it does ask for informa-
ton upon which, If it comes up to ex-
pectations, an investigation will be
ordered.
The delegate particularly wants to
know why 1t is that of all the depart
ment's agents in Alaska the two who
were successfully prosecuting the
w%rongdoers were expelled from the
service. These two men were District
Attorney ]. j. Boyce. at Juneau, and
Marshal Daniel sutherland. They were
removed a year g after obtaining the
conviction of Edward c. Hasey for
homicide committed, according to the
