Readers of the Gateway will re- member that it carried a story some days ago which told how the Juneau Dispatch had a long article contain ing charges made against the Alaskan Engineering Commission to Secretary Lane by a man named Charles Esy- mere who was described as an en- gineer. The story in the Juneau pa per was evidently sent by the As sociated Press and went into the charges in detail. The chief charge was that the Commission was wasting the timber of the territory by it's methods, but there were also other charges.
 This man, Charles Estmere, IS now in the federal jail at Seward waiting to be shipped out to the lunatic asyl- um, having been adjudged insane at Anchorage. He was brought over the other day by Deputy Marshal James Wardell.
