TO WICK" ALL
TERMED A FALSEHOOD
Attorney General Tells House
Committee Alaska Dele
gates Charges Are Untrue.

Washington. July 25.-Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham today branded as
f~alsehoods the charges OF Delegate
Wickersham, OF Alaska, that the att
torney general had shielded Alaskan
criminals" and had allowed the stat.
ate OF limitations to run in an alleged
coal contract a case. These and
other emphatic disclaimers We're made
before the House committee on the ju-
dietary as an answer to tEs delegates
allegations.
The attorney general said that thu
proof which the delegate had given him
In the coal case consisted OF an affi-
davit by II. j. Douglas, formerly aud
itor OF the Alaskan syndicate. This
purported TO show that q conspiracy
had been entered into by the North
western Commercial company and the
John j. Sesnor company to get con-
tracts for supplying coal to govern
ment forts In Alaska. The Douglas
affidavit referred to alleged %affidavtts
made by Captain Jarvis, who was
head or the Alaska syndicate mpa
and who recently committed suicide
IN Seattle ii by John ii. Butler, who
was president Of the Sesnor
Mr.. Wickersham said that Assistant
Attorney General Mcnamara, who was
sent to investigate the case, found no
such a~fffdavits and that the war de-
partments fail to show anything of the
sort, as claimed. The attorney gener-
RI said the statute OF limitations In
the syndicate case would not run TO
March. 1912.
