HENRY WEIR'S PUP FOUND
 PORCUpINE FIXED FOR WAR

Henry Weir, manager of the Iditarod Telephone Company, is the owner of a bunch of pups which is expected to develop into crack team this winter
 They are bird dogs. and their hunt ing instinct is strong. Last Sunday Mir. Weir was surprised to see one of them wearing what looked to be a fine new set ot whiskers, and closer in spection showed that the pup had come in contact with it's first porcupine. The pup must have put up a game fight, for it's shoulders, head, ears, mouth and throat seemed to have col lected as many quills as prudent por- cupine could well spare in a single engagement. Most of the quils were pulled out, but there were hundreds of them and it was big job.

cause he had procured the indictment of Jafet Lindeberg, at Nome, for per jury. Lindeberg sent his attorney, Mir. Fink, to Washington, who secured a l demand for Grigsoy's removal, which was later withdrawn upon a showing made by Grigsby. Judge Moore was included in the complaints made by Fink at Washington, and the good rec ord which he has built up and main tained in eight years hard and indus triOus work for the Government on that frontier was destroyed because it was known he would do his duty with respect to prosecuting this wealthy perjurer.
 As another example, Sutherland and Boyce, respectively marshal and dis trict attorney at Juneau, were recently removed without any notice or oppor tunity to be heard for having dared the one to sign his name to indictments voluntarily found by the grand jury, and the other because he would not corruptly pack a trial jury with the friends of the defendant at the request of the attorney who came to Washing ton and secured his removal. l can give you many instances of this sort of thing, and the proof so clear and con- vlnclng that you can not doubt, ard this system has now continued in Alaska for twenty-six years. 1 said to you the other day that the Department of Jus tlce had become menace to the people of Alaska, and that it was a hopeless failure by reason of it's inability to shield the people from dishonest off, clalS on the one hand and to support and protect honest officials in the dis charge of their duty on the other. An honest official engaged in the perform ance of his duty in Alaska is attacked by hired lobbyists in Washington. These smooth gentlemen go to the De- partment of Justice and file charges against him; they discover that they have aroused some prejudice, and they renew and supplement these charges from other quarters, until. finally, the | Department of Justice is convinced by this secret method that the official is guilty of some wrongdoing and ought to be removed. The charges may be ridiculous and the evidence false, but the whole thing is maintained in the secret file until there is such an array as to prejudice the department against the official, who is, in the meantime, performing his duty in Alaska without any knowledge of the conspiracy to effect his ruin between his enemies and the Department of Justice.
 You may ask, Why does not the ac- cused official explain the charges against him? The ans wer is very sim

Biz Game Hunter
 Rode White Rhin0

Quentin Grogan, the big game hunter who acted as guide for Col. Roosevelt in Uganda and led him to the spot where he bagged his white rhinos, re- turned to London the first of September from trip to the Congo.
 Grogan went out in search of pair of live white rhinos, no specimen Of which is in captivity. He had tough luck right through. Hippo Bay, where Roosevelt got his rhinos, was empty and Grogan wandered up to Regal. Here he got in touch with a youngster, but missed getting rope about it's leg
 In a mad endeayor to capture the brute Grogan flung himself at it, grabbed it by the ears and mounted its back He is probably the only man who has ever ridden live white rhino. The beast screamed with terror and dashed at a wonderful gait across coun- try. Frightened though the rhino was, it didn't forget it's native sense, but made straight for clump of thorn bushes, into which it dashed. GrOgan was literally torn off it's back. His face and body were lacerated and his feel ings also at losing the object of his trip. Now he is in phiIosophic mood and says: "Never mind, had darned fine ride"

and Boyce's case again for moment The attorneys and agents Of the Gug- genheims knew that Rustgard was a great friend of Senator Nelson's. They brought Rustgard down from Nome and kept him at Governor Hogatts house. Senator Nelson recommended Rustgard's appointment-he had pre- visusly filed charges against Boyce. He secured his own appointment as chairman of the subcommittee to de- termine whether or not Rustgard ought to be confirmed. He was the accuser of Boyce and the judge of his rights No possible charge against Rustgard could have any force or effect to pre- vent his confirmation. It is this sort of jury packing in the Senate com mittee and the connivance therein of the Department of Justice which has made the people of Alaska feel that the department is unfair and inc0m- potent in the matter of Alaskan ap- pointments.
 I regret to have taken up sc much of your time in this matter, for l am satisfied that it can have no effect. A consistent, though vicious course Of action in the department of 25 years standing will probably not be abandoned now. have no doubt that if vo,, cbnl lOoly into tbiS @ m tta,, vCI, u,ill discover that there is a wrong without remedy. The wrong is doubly so be- cause it is connected with the Depart ment O. Justice. It is a wrong which could easily be remedied through the department and the remedy would make better officials in Alaska, and create greater loyalty to the depart ment. It would, however, render less forceful the pull of the politician, and Alaska appointments have ever been the sport of these gentlemen.
 Is it not possible, however. to so ar range matters in the Department of Justice that officials may be protected when right and punished and removed when wrong, by some fair and system atic course of action similar to trial of an issue in court? Such a system would give confidence to the people and would enable an honest man to de- fend himself. If the people knew that a man had that sort of a hearing, and his removal followed, the presumption would be in favor of the judgment, whereas now it is the other way.
 If you have any interest in this mat ter l should be glad to talk to you per sonally about 1t and give you more specific facts and details.
 Respectfully,
 JAMES WICKERSHAM,
 Delegate from Alaska.

House Of Representatives,
 Washington, June 24, 1910. Stuart McNamara, Esq,
 Department of Justice,
 Washington, D. c.
 My Dear Sir:-When you did me the honor to call the other day and say that you were going to Alaska to investigate conditions there as the representative of the Department of Justice, I made some criticisms upon the department which you wished me to put in writing. 1 expressly said to you that l made no criticism of the motive of any attorney general who has ever been connected with the Department of Justice in Washington; that 1 believed the head of that department had always acted from high sense of duty, but that the difficulty arose from the want of infor- nation and incompetency in the depart ment to manage affairs in Alaska. told you that the first judge of the dis trict court in Alaska, Judge McAllister was removed within eighteen months of his appointment for political reasons, and you will discover the facts in rela- tion thereto in the case of McAllister vs. United States l4l U. S., 174). The next judge, his successor, absconded from Alaska within six months of his appointment, just ahead of warrant for his arrest for embezzlement, and he has been fugitive from justice ever since.
 This course of dealing with the judge ships in Alaska has continued to date, for no judge in Alaska, except Judge Moore, was ever reappointed and con- frmed. Incompetent men have been appointed judges only to be removed within a year, and, if competent, they have frequently been removed without notice because of the honest perform ance of their duties. l do not know of but one marshal who ever served out his second term of office; Marshal Shoup and Marshal Perry both served Ohu Q III os pSl III, Dup llIS OllC lSoIS llCIl before he served out his second term, because he knew he would not be SUD- ported by the department, and the other was peremptorily removed.
 This rotating system of carpet-bag- ging officials in Alaska has all come from the incompetency of the Depart ment of Justice. 1 said to you the other day that if an official dared to procure the indictment of a rich man in Alaska, that man might send his attorney to Washington and procure the removal of the official who was doing his duty fearlessly. As an example, Mir Grigsby, the district attorney at Nome, was re- quested to resign some time ago be-

pie. The charges are made in secret and the accused official does not know of their existence until he has been re- moved. He then comes forward, like MT. Sutherland and Mir. Boyce did, and demands hearing, only to be told by the Senate subcommittee: "Why, we can't hear you; you must talk to the President" The President declines to near them because it is a reflection upon his fairness in removing them without notice, so they get no satisfac- tion. In a dozen cases of this kind honest, competent officials in Alaska were removed without notice or a hearing, upon the active effort of men whom they have been compelled to prosecute by their oath of office.
 In 1900, Judge Moves was appointed Judge through the influence of pow erful lobby and sent to Nome, Alaska, with deliberate and premeditated purpose of robbing a certain class of miners there of their claims See 1O6 Fed, ITS; log Fed, 97) It is believed in Alaska that deliberate attempt is now being made by the attorneys and lobbyists of the Guggenheims to get control of the public offices in Alaska for an equally nefarious purpose-that of securing monopoly of mining, transportation, and other interests in Alaska, and of protecting the Guggen- helms against charges which are being made against them of corrupting the ballot box, corrupting the grand jury, brit ing a deputy district attorney, and corruptly bribing and controlling wit nesses and jurors in the Hasey case.
 You may say in answer to this rather lengthy statement: What do you sug- gest?
 This: That the Department of Jus tice know, before it appoints a man to office in Alaska, that his appointment is not being secured for the purpose of shielding some perjurer from prose Cutiou UT lOI IHe put JOSS Ol serving du y other master than the United States. Second: That the Department of Jus tice protect it's officials in the per formance of their duty, instead of being & party to a conspiracy to punish them for acting bravely and independently Somebody ought to be responsible for appointments in Alaska to the extent that an accusation against an official ought not to be acted upon until after notice to him and an opportunity to defend. No petty criminal, not even a tramp, can be found guilty and fined one dollar until after notice and an op- portunity to defend. It is remarkable that the one department in the whole government which ought to stand for an orderly administration of American priciples should be the very worst to violate them.
