MAY FIGHT FOR
'NAMARAS'
FREEDOM
LINCOLN STEFFENS WOULD
START PETITION ASKING
PAROLE OF MEN.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. z. -
That if the business men of Los
Angeles do not within ''reason-
able time keep the promises he
says they made when the McNa-
mara brothers pleaded guilty to
dynamiting the Los Angeles
Times to give organized labor a
square deal, he will circulate a
petition in California asking Gov
ernor johnson to pardon the Nc
Namaras, was the assertion today
of Lincoln Steffens, writer and
student.
''In a few months" said Stef-
fens, "if the business men in Los
Angeles don't show fair atti-
tude toward organized labor, I
shall take the matter up with la
Dor leaders of California and we
shall 60 and see the Los Angeles
business men personally and de-
mand they keep their word. If
they don't, a petition asking Gov
ernor Johnson to pardon the Nc
Namaras will be circulated and l
am confident will receive thou
sand of signatures"
Steffens said he had not taken
the matter of the petition up with
California labor leaders as yet as
he desired to give the Los An
geles business man "ample oppor-
tunity" to make good on their
word.

Fairbanks, July 23.-In the present political staLus of puliti- cal affairs in the Fairbanks dis trici. Wickersham has an appar- rnt short lead, but iS rapidly losing ground owing to his ab- srncc from the field. Jennings is a strong second, the result of a strong campaign which he has just brought to a close. Gilmore stands third. but is gaining stead fly at inc expense of Wickrrsham, whom he is damaging seriously by showing letters wherein Wick cfSllam urged him to run and promising him his support.
 Gilmore is making an excellent impression personally, but must dispose of an intense anti-Shack- leford sentiment before he can make any distinct headway.
 The Socialists are apparently the most numerous and enthuSi- astic. but if is estimated that on- ly about 70 per cent. of their numbers are voters.

oEPAHrmEhT OF JUSTICE ATTEMPTS TO SETTLE FIGHT oN JUDGE ovERFiELD BY ORDERING HIM TO VAL eEz- -cRoss
 LEY TO REMAIN THE INTERIOR

Washington, July 23.-Attorney General Wickersham has decided that he will assign Judge Fred erick w. Fuller to the Fourth ju- dicial division of Alaska and transfer Judge Peter Ovcrfleld to the Third, owing to the tumble into which the federal officials of the former division have gotten themselves.
 The re-appointment of Cross ley makes this step imperative, as the judge and prosecuting attor- ney could not work in harmony, and it is hoped that through Judge Fuller peace will be restored. The disappointment of Crosslcy was largely duo Co his excellent rec ord and the fearless manner in which he executed the law.
 Judge Ovcrheld's transfer to Valdez will probably ncccssitatc the calling in of one of the other judges to try the Washington bank cases, as Ovcrneld is

ONE OF THE HEAVIEST ARMoRED CRUISERS WITH a COMPILE MERIT OF 7s7 OFFICERS TO BE

Wilson and Taft Now Writing Their Speeches of Acceptances --Lorimer To Address Mass Meeting Tonight-Kan- Court Tells People To Adjust Their Own
 Political Differences

Washington, July 23-PrcSidcnt Taft says he will not act upon Judge Iianford's resignation un- til he receives the judges letter. The resignation of Judge lIanfOrd caused quite a sensation here as all the information obtainable was to the effect that the jurist and his friends were going to fight until the last dich had been reached. It is settled here as far as gossip is concerned at least, that the action of HanfOrd, in re- signing, was the result of word being conveyed to him from the administration, that he had mo- thing to hope from the Republi- cans or the administration and that his resignation would be ac- ceptable to the president, who, it is claimed, was angered when Hanford refused to obey his re- call of the decision in the Olson case, which precipitated the whole

The Prospector has learned in- directly through the navy wire less that the armored cruiser Maryland, sent to Alaskan waters 10 study the question of naval re- serves, will spend about two weeks in Valdez. The Maryland is an armored cruiser carrying 787 men and fl officers. As soon as it is definitely ascertained that the vessel is coming to this port steps should be taken for the en- tertainment of the visitors. The trip of the Maryland to these wa ters may be fraught with much consequence to the future of Val dez, for, should Valdez be made q naval base it would mean much for the future prosperity of the place.
 The Maryland is 38i feet long, 69 feet three inches beam, has 0 mean draft of 2i feet one inch, and carries two i8-inch torpedo tubes. Her normal coal supply Is

Seattle, July 23.-Judge Han ford says that he is proud of his twenty-twO year record on the bench of the United States Dis trict Court. The press here is doing all it can 10 gloss over the affair and paint the fallen judge as a martyr to the machinations of diScOntented rabble of So- cialiStic tendencies. Generally speaking, the people are glad the scandal has come to an end, but have reason to fear that Han ford's successor will give them but little relief. Chairman Gra- ham, of the congressional inves- tigating committee, has adjourn ed the committee and will return to Washington, having received instructions from the house 10 that effect.
