TIMES WRITES UP
 THE LIQUOR GASES
,s,eattle Arctic Club, of Which Taft Is Member, Declared to Have
 Same Standing as Tillikum.

SEATTLE, Dec. 27.--The Sunday morning edition of the Seatte Times contains a two column article re- viewing the prosecution of the Alaska liquor cases by United States District Attorney Spence of Valdez.
 After reviewing the history of the various clubs in Alaska which sban- doned the custom of selling liquor to members after tho decision in the test case carried to the higher court from Nome,. the writer states that the Arctic club of Seattle is liable to prosecution on the samesgrounds as the action against the Till:kum club and it's members. Former President Taft, former governor Sulzer of New York. and hundreds of prominent Alaskans are members of the Arctic Club. Scores of Alaskans are enu- :merated in the Times who are mem hers of the Tillikum Club.
 In an interview with Sam Blum, banker and merchant of Valdez and Cordova, against whom information was filed by District Attorney Spence in connection with alleged miraculous of the law the Alaskan says that the oifense with which he is charged is not extraditable and that he will re- turn to Alaska when he gets good and ready.
 MT. Blum says that the district at 1orney has discriminated against him and a few others as he could have arrested other members of the Tilli- kum club who are now in Valdez.
 Valdez people in the city declare that the matter of the Tillikum club was brought before the grand jury last summer and that the jury had in- vestigated the charges and refused to A,ring in indictments as the club had complied with the law after the rul- ing had been handed down by the Cir cult Court of Appeals.
 Senator o. P. Hubbard of Valdez is declared to be the instigator of the prosecution of the members of the club, from personal spite, and that the 1fstrict attorney is acting upon 1nforAation furnished by Hubbard.
 The Seattle Arctic Club is taking steps to endorse the Alaska clubs pe- ,4ition for the removal, of Spence from office, on the ground that he Is using his office to persecute the business men of Valdez.
