but report the evidence to the house
concerning the general charges made
by Delegate Wickersham of Alaska
against Attorney General Wicker
sham
In a hearing enlivened with fire.
Quent and bitter clashes between the
two Wickershams. it developed that
the delegate from Alaska had offered
his legal services in 1908 to the Gug-
genheim interests in the Northwest
ern Commercial company, for salary
of $4,000 a year and the maintenance
of Office headquarters in Seattle.
A proposition was made to him by
Stephen Burch, a representative OF
the Northwestern Commercial COM
pany.
IF they had paid me what | asked
l would have been their attorney,
said Mr. Wickersham, and | think |
would have saved them a lot of
trouble"
The question of the insuficiency of
what the delegate declared was proof
that the attorney general purpose
ly shielded and defended Alaska syn
dictate criminals against punishment"
arose.
Representative Sterling suggested
that Delegate understands charges
indicated only failure of the depart
ment of justice to prosecute.
ooh, he has gone way beyond that. "
interrupted Attorney General Wick
ersham.
YES" said Delegate Wickersham,
'T insist there was a deliberate at
tempt to protect"
The delegate declared that United
States Marshal H. K. Love, who fig
ured in the Cunningham coal land
cases, had discharged deputy named
Bowers, who was also jailer at Kodiak,
because he wouldn't give up the
graft.
He wouldn't pay Love 500 month
out of what he received for the board
of prisoners" the delegate explained.
Delegate Wickersham. a Repub-
lican. reviewed his attempts to have
the department of justice move against
D. H. Jarvis of the Alaska syndicate
and ]. H. Bullock of the John j,
Sesnor company for alleged conspir-
acy on government coal contracts,
whereby he alleges the government
lost $4,000.

manded that he prove that statement.

Chief Executive Takes Refuge on
Cruiser in Harbor-Oaughter Is

Port-au-P Prince, Haiti.-Armed with
his carbine President Simon hed
to the Haitian cruiser Seventeenth Oh

dYen and a number of followers who
had preceded him.
The Seventeenth of Decembre lies
in the harbor and z is believed Simon
is awaiting the arrival of foreign
merchantmen on which he can take
passage for ST. Thomas. d. W. l., or
Jamaica.
The departure of the aged president
was not without disorder, however,
for, as he was embarking at the wharf.
there was a riotous demonstration in
which the ex-president's chamberlain,
Deputy Prin of Jeremie, and five other
persons were killed, and Clement1na
Simon his daughter, and six other per-
sons were wounded. The injuries OF
Miss Simon are slight.
Simon came out of the main en-
trance of the palace. Over his Shout
der the old man. who almost to the
last had declared that he would fight
to the end, and, if necessary, die. In
harness, carried his rife. With head
erect, he marched down to the wharf.
At his side walked his daughter
Clementina. Other members of his
family, however, previously had taken
refuge on board the Seventeenth OF
Decembre.
AS Simon and his daughter gained
the wharf there was a rush Of the mob
that had gathered to witness the de-
parture Miss Simon was the center
of the attack and several women,
bowling and shrieking, succeeded in
pulling off her hat Chief Of Police
Saint Lo rushed to the rescue and led
the young woman away from the in
furiated crowd toward a schooner. On
the gang plank Deputy Prin offered
his arm to Miss Simon. AS he did so
an enraged man rushed up, and, press
ing the barrel of his rife fairly into
the deputy's face, fired. Prin dropped
in his tracks, dead Firing became
promiscuous and before it ceased five
other persons had been killed and six
wounded.
