Wickersham Makes
an Informal Reply
to Alaska Charges
Attorney General is Not Certain that
Limitation Has Expired in
All the Cases.

WASHINGTON. July 15.--Attorney GEN
eral Wickersham today made an informal
reply to the charge Delegate
Wickersham that he had allowed. the
statute of Limitation to expire in certain
Alaska criminal cases without taking ac-
ton.
II have not given a definite opinion that
the statute of Limitation has expired in all
of these cases. 1t Is not improbable that
criminal action may be taken. The matter
is still under investigation insofar as 1t re-
lates TO the alleged combination of bidders
in the coal proposition. The Hazey case,
however, think is barred by the statute.
will continue my investigation OF the
others 1t has been under way for some
time and has never been discontinued"
Delegate Wickersham of Alaska today de-
clared that Former Secretary Of War Dick
inson had been furnished with the same
evidence concerning Alaskan frauds as was
furnished Attorney General Wickersham in
May, 1910, and that he never acknowledged
receipts OF the documents. He had this
statement placed in the records OF the
hearings of the judiciary committee.
Coupled with It was the further state
ment that Delegate Wickersham submitted
to the attorney general more than year
ago evidence OF an alleged bribing OF a
United States district attorney by the Ka-
talIa company one Of the organizations in
the Alaska syndicate.
"I have evidence" declared Delegate
wIckersham, that 5000 was used to bribe
a deputy district attorney. That is the

Senate Will Put
Wool Tariff Matter
Up to the President
Smoot, Crane and Williams Say La
Toilette Bill Will Be Passed and
Accepted by House.

WASHINGTON, July Eff Senators
Smoot and Crane, republicans. and VIII
liams, democrat, prove true prophets,
President Taft will have TO solve one OF
the hardest problems of his administration
before the adjournment OF the special ses-
sion of congress According to these three
senator's, all of whom talked with the
president today, the senate, through a com
binaton of democrats and insurgents, will
pass the La Toilette bill, revising the wool
schedule of the present tariff.
The house already has passed a wool
bill which differs materially with that
drawn by Senator La Toilette, but accord
ing to the same unofficial prophets. It
would accept the latter measure rather
than get no bill at all. President Taft 1t
Is pointed out, then would be face to face
with one OF the most difficult questions
that has come before him. He has called
this present wool schedule '1ndefensible. -
The tariff board has promised to furnish
data for a scientific revision of that
schedule by December and in many Of his
later speeches the president has declared
that he opposed any revision not based
upon Investigation OF the board He has
placed himself IN opposition to what he
has termed ''unscientific' and "haphazard''
tariff 'tinkering," indicating plainly that
he would prefer congress to wait until the
tariff board has made its report
The president, II was said today, has con-
fided to few people his future course of
action II . wool revision bill should be put
up to him. 1t is believed, however that
he would veto the La Toilette bill and in
his veto message make a defense to the
country for such action

republicans might make an effort to coun-
teract the effect OF tn emovement by in
Producing bill OF their own. but they have
little hope OF success.

CUPID SPECIAL ON

Little Love God Fails to
Land a Single Couple on
Mrs. ellis Excursion.

Among $50 tourists. the largest but
enc delegation that the Cupid Special
has ever brought to Washington, Cupid
has so far failed to land single dart.
IT don't know why 1t is" said Mrs.
Gil, but I couldn't seem to find any
one that wanted to be married this fall.
So we just ran the excursion any way"
Mrs. Gill is superintendent Of the
Richmond Orphan Asylum, and the
proceeds of her excursions go to that
institution. Many Of the former inmates
in the asylum have been married as e
result of the Cupid Specials"
Despite the absence Of the ceremony
which is generally the attraction on
Mrs. Gill's personally conducted"
tours to the Capital the excursionists
had a busy day. A part OF them went
to Baltimore on the electric line and
others took the trip to Great Falls. But
the majority of the party went with
Mrs. Gill to several public buildings and
thence to Arlington.
So large was the party that accomo-
dations could not be arranged for them
in any one hotel 50 that some OF them
are staying at the homes Of friends.
Tomorrow more than a hundred OF
the visitors will go to Annapolis, re-
turning in the evening to leave for their
Virginia homes.
I'm not going to make another trip
until can get some couples to promise
to get married or / will lose my repu-
tation as a match maker" Mrs. Gill
declared.

DERISION WAS NOT
FOR REPUBLICANS

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
Please allow me to say a word in re-
ply to "a Looker-on in Venice" in
your issue of the 18th inst. Those an
gels of whom Douglas Jerrold spoke did
not break through any habit. They
laughed, as tusual. at the incongruity
between mans ambitions and his
achievements. 1t was not the Republi-
can Senators who excited their derision.
II was Monsieur La Toilette and his
hand of fellow-traitors who were the
recipients of their derisive jeers. Claim
ing to be Republicans, from pure ''cuss-
edness'' they had betrayed the Repub-
lican majority in Congress into the
hands of their enemies, voting with
Democrats to crush Republicans and
expecting and demanding that Repub-
licans should follow their lead and vote
to defeat the Democrats.
And "A Looker-on in Venice" Is high
ly indignant that they did not do It, did
not allow the tail-and a dismembered
tail, toto wag the dog. Truly it was
a case of base ingratitude on their part
that they did not walk into the trap of
a pattern very much like that Of the
South Carolina darkey, to ''cotch the
coon a-Swine or a-comin'." He pours
his bottles of wrath over Senators of
both parties for not, instead of their
own States, representing the United

nIinistereo as an anesthetic during an
operation.
The girls father, who is well to do,
has wired for detectives. and has an
nounced that he will orrer a large re-
ward for the detection q the murderers.
Today one of the leading citizens start
ed movement TO raise 81 900 by popu-
lar subscription and to offer IL as a re-
ward in the name or the town. The
county commissioners will add to these
amounts and the State will be asked to
do the same thing.
Last Thurs day, when the family says
Miss Hawkins left her home for the last
time, she was seen by several persons
In the company Of a man whose name
Is now withheld. She was seen the
same day sitting on a rock on the bank
of the lake.

the woods near the spot where II is be-
lieved the actual murder occurred
