W|CKERSHAM MAKES
 AN INFORMAL REPLY
The Alaska Delegate Comes Back With Additional
 Charges

Washington, July 15.-Attorney General Wickersham today made an informal re- ply to the charge of Chief Delegate Wick ersham of Alaska, that he had allowed the statute of limitation to expire in cer- tain Alaska criminal cases without talk ing atcion.
 ''I Have not given a definite opinion that the statute of limitation has expired in all of these cases. It is not improbable that criminal action may be taken. The matter is still under investigation in so far as 1t relates to the alleged commission of bidders on the coal proposition. The Hazy case.' however, I think is barred by the statute.'
 Delegate Wickersham today declared that former Secretary of War Dickinson had been furnished with the same evi- dence concerning Alaskan frauds as was | furnished Attorney General Wickersham | In May, 1910, and that he never ac- knowledged receipts of the documents He had this statement placed in the rec ords of the hearings of the judiciary com- missionary. In addition. was the state ment that Delegate Wickersham submit l ted to the Attorney General more than year ago evidence of an alleged brio- | ing of an alleged United States district attorney by the Rallats company, one of | the organizations in the Alaska syndi- cate.

WOOL SCHEDULE
 MAY BE REVISED d M President Will Have Hard
 Nut to Crack if Such Is the Case

Washington, July 15.-If Senators Williams, democrat, prove true proph- cts, President Taft will have to solve one of the hardest problems of his ad- ministration before the adjournment of the special session of Congress. Ac- cording to these three senators, all of whom talked with the President to- day, the Senate, through combina- tion of democrats and insurgents, will pass the LaFollette 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 LaFollette. but ac- cording to the same unofficial proph- cts, it would accept the latter meas ure rather than get no bill at all President Taft, it is pointed out, then would be face to face with one of the most difficult questions that has come before him. He has called the pres ent wool schedule "indefensible." The tariff board has promised to furnish data for a scientific revision of that schedule by December and in many oi his later speeches the President has declared that he opposed any revision not based upon inyestiga tions of the board
 The President, it is believed, would veto the LaFollette bill and in hi, veto message make a defense to the country for such action.
 1t was said late today that the regu lar republicans might make an effor to counteract the effect of the move ment by introducing a bill of their own but they have little hope of success.

LITTLE ROCK HAS
 TYPHOID EPIDEMIC
Government Surgeon Sent to Scene at Governors
 Request

Little Rock, July 15.-Reports to the city physician show there were a total of 12l cases of typhoid fever here up to noon today A majority of these arc said to be convalescing.
 An expert chemist Friday reported the presence of typhoid baccili in the water of the public cisterns at the public park and the mayor ordered them closed. It is declared that 60 rer cent of the fever cases arc within a radius of few blocks of the City park. Physicians. say that dust falling upon roofs in the neighbor- hood and then washed into the cstern, caused the trouble.
 Physicians say there are no fever germs in the city water supply.
 Governor Donaghey has been advised by the authorities at Washington that Dr. w. H. Frost, an assistant surgeon of the United States army. and an ex- l pert in the hygienic laboratory, left the national capital last night for Little Rock. He is coming at the solicitation of the governor and Mayor Taylor. for the pur- pose of making thorough investigation | of the sanitary and health conditions of | Little Rock to determine if possible the cause for the epidemic of typhoid fever which has been raging here for the last month. There has been a great deal of concern over the situation and the city council has charged 1t directly to the city water, which is alleged to be impure and unwholesome.
 Dr. Hoffman, chairman of the board of health, reports there are no baccili in the water that would produce typhoid fever. but that the area of infection lies within three blocks of the City park. where the Confederate reunion camp was located. and he declares the disease is due to a lack of sanitary precautions.

dicate to MT. Sisson that there are nu- merous ways in which public men might have become interested. The resolution demands to know whether any of the holders of the title are related, by blood or marriage, to any member of the House or Senate.
 There is a great deal of suspicion at tached to this property" said MT. Sisson. "If it is unfounded, 1t Is time that the matter should be cleared up. If the sus- picions, which many of us have heard re- peated, are well founded, then the public is entitled to know that members of Congress have taken advantage of their official position and their advance knowl- edge of legislative intentions and are at tempting to unload on the government at great profit" The Sisson resolution has gone to the House committee on rules, and it is probable that the House will promptly order an. investigation of the entire question. It is predicted that sensational disclosures involving more than one member of Congress and pub lie officials, will result.
 There is ample opportunity in Washing ton for a member of Congress to specu- late in real estate. Senate and House committees consider every session bills to open certain streets and highways or to authorize the purchase of land for
  ment selects any particular land, there is always a rush among the speculators to acquire this, and even if the gov ernment assumes ownership through condemnation the real estate men come out of the deal with profits.
 The Sisson resolution opens up branch of inquiry that is not confined In inter- est to Washington alone. It is possible that members of Congress from various sections will be discovered as owners of the property in question. While there may be nothing legally amiss In such a condition of affairs, there is a well de- fined feeling at the capitol that a mem ber of either branch of Congress will make himself amendable to public criti- cism in the event that he takes advan- tage of his official knowledge to dabble in real estate for the purchase of which. as member of Congress, he may have voted or will vote.
 The Sisson resolution provides that the investigation of land titles shall be con- ducted by a select House committee com prsed of three democrats and two re- publcans and the investigators will be given power to compel the various 'trus- tees' to produce evidence tending to show the real owners of the park pro- perty wanted by Uncle Sam.
