(National News Association

Washington, July 15.-Attorney Gen
erai Wickersham. in a statement this
afternoon, replied to the charges made
by Delegate Wickersham. The attor-
ney general outlined the step taken by
the department of justice in the in
vestigations of Alaska conditions,
brought to his attention by Delegate
Wickersham. He said that immediate
ly upon the receipt of the letter from
Delegate Wickersham calling to his at
tention the alleged irregularities in
Alaska, he dispatched Investigator
James Mcnamara, together with two
inspectors, to the territory to make an
investigation Wickersham said:
The United States authorities at
Nome were ordered to assist in the in
vestigation. The investigation was
started in May, last year. The whole
controversy hinges upon the letter
written by the department to Delegate
Wickersham saying that criminal
charges were barred by the statute OF
limitations. l did at first think that
they were, but after thorough investl-
CATION if such evidence could be pro
duced l feel that such charges could
be brought, despite the statute OF linn
itations. The only ground on which
such charges could be based is an al
legged illegal combination of bidders.

attorneys has been able to find evil
dence sufficient to warrant prosecu,
ton. Instead 81 the charges beI1g IL.
nored, the record Of the department
will show that most searching inves'
