Spence S Record
 Given An Airing

SEATTLE. Dec. 26-In a two-col umn article in the Seattle Times today, is review of United States Attorney Spenee's record since h. took office at Valdez The article tells of the charges that have been made against the district attorney . and the grounds upon which they were made.
 Among other things, the district attorney is accused of unjustly pros acutinr the Tillicum club of Valdez for selling liquor without license. 1eCarding the case. Sam Bmm th" well known merchant and banker, is quoted a. saying that the only reason for the prosecutions were that Q. P Hubbard dominated the district attorney. He says that Hubbard was sore at the club and took this means of getting revenge, using the district attorney as tool.
 Another charge is that the official prosecuted the Valdez camp of the re''. Brlth@lhGai of which org nization former President William I Taft ex Governor William Su- ger. of New York, exSeeretary of the navy Nasel and others, are members.
 The article also describes Spence'S disloyalty to the Democratic party in not fighting against the Republi- cans. It charges him with more friendship for Delegate Wickersham than is becoming a good Democrat
 Although Fairbanks is not in tn. Third judicial division, the Times says that the Valdez district at torney was responsible for annoy ancn to the people of the interior. in that by closing the Valdez club, the Panama club was also forced to close it's bar.
 The fight that is being waged against the district attorney was set out fully, every move that the machine men of the territory arc making having been set forth. In conclusion. it is said that the district attorney will have a hard time explaining satisfactorily many of the charges that are made against him.

 Charles F, Davidson. secretary Of the Territory of Alaska, has given notice of a misprint in the bound volume of the session laws passed by the Territorial Legislature at the last session.
 The mistake occurs in the lien law and the correction, as sent out by Territorial Secretary Davidson is as follows:

 thereof, while the same is used in or about a mine or min"
 It should be noted, however, tha' this error does not occur ill the ad- vance sheets in pamphlet form which were sent out before the bound volume of the laws was avail able. The mistake is due to an oversight in proofreading.
