James J. Crossley, United States
district attorney at Fairbanks, has
not been asked by the department
of Justice at Washington for his
resignation Notwithstanding the ru-
mors to the effect that such was
the case This news was received
by The Citizen directly from WASH

inquiry addressed to Delegate Wick

In addition to the foregoing news,
liable information to the effect that
Mr.. Crossley has been assured that
he will not be asked to quit his posi-
lion until his term expires, which
will be in about two and one-half
more years.
Early last week a telegram was
received by Tom MCGOWAN from f.

were the words: Resignation

Rumors Of the Requested Resignation Of the Local District Attorney

No Immediate Action Is Expected

the report of the requested resigna
ton, for it seemed that if it were
true, Mr. Crossley would have been
officially notified before leaving for
San Francisco Accordingly, mes
sage was sent by this paper to
Delegate Wickersham, stating that it
was reported here that District At
torney Crossley had been requested
to resign, and asking him if the
report were true.
The reply from Mr.. Wickersham
left no room for doubt. for he secur-
ed a denial of the rumor directly
from the department Of justice, Mr..
Wickersham' reply was as follows:
Department Justice Says No."
That it was not the intention of
the department of justice to make an
immediate change in the office Of the
local district attorney is indicated
by circumstances 1t has been point
ed out that if an immediate change
was contemplated, Mr. Crossley
would not have been sent Outside

than anything else Is the reliable
information that has been obtained
by The Citizen to the effect that
Mr.. Crossley has been assured that

been compelled to undergo at the
hands of the Mexican people.
Before the train started for Vera

through the train and dragged from
it all people supposed to be Ameri-
cans including a score of women and
children. The entreaties of the pas
sengers were of no avail The Ameri-
cans who made good their escape
passed themselves off as British sub
jects. What will be done with those
taken from the train is matter of
and army officers here.
In order not to make mistake
and detain any person who was not
American, the Mexican officials re-
quested Lionel Garden, the British
ambas sador, and Ambassador Hinta
of Germany to inspect the passen-
gers and to identity if possible,

This was done, but in some cases Of
