OFFICERS INVESTIGATING
Officers Endeavoring to Locate Responsibility for Unlawful Use of
 Flag and Mails.

KETCHIKAN. Oct. 25.-From here have been mailed circular let ters, signed Alaska Defense Society charging former Territorial Repre- sentative William Britt. Democratic nominee for Territorial Senator. oi being pro-German and urging voters to support Ed. C. Russell. the Wick ersham candidate for that office. The letters prominently display the Amer. ican flag. They contain no names to indicate who compose the Alaska Defense Society" The letters are being mailed to voters throughout the First Division. Local printers neau
 The mailing of the letters has caused great indignation here.
 It is known that officers of the law are conducting an investigation of the matter.
 There is No "AIaska Defense
 Society"
 You may quote me uneQuivocally as saying that there is no 'Alaski. Defense Society in Alaska to my knowledge" said Gov. Thomas Riggs Jr.. to The Empire. If there is any such organization it is secret. and not in cooperation with any branch of government. Territorial or Federal in Alaska or elsewhere" he con tinued.
 Gov. Riggs is indignant over the unwarranted end assassinlike attack on one of Alaska's reputable citi Zens. an attack from ambush. and treacherously made by cowardly hid ing behind the Stars and Stripes.
 Gov. Riggs Desires GThere Be No
 Confusion
 Gov. Riggs is particularly desirious that people shall not confuse the fife titious Alaska Defense Society" with the Alaska Council of Defense or any of the other war or patriotic or sanizations which exist in Alaska and Which are recognized as auxil iary war organizations.
 Officers of the Law Investigate
 Gov. Thomas Riggs. ,Jr. and Unit. ed States District Attorney James A. Smiser were notified of the circu. latiOn of this letter yesterday, and immediately began an investigation That it is clear violation of the criminal laws. and perhaps the Unit ed States postal laws, is the belief 0f those who have looked into the matter. Whether or not the publi. cation and mailing of the letters have been done so secretly that il will he impossible to discover the au. thors is not known.
 Juneau Citizens Are Indignant
 Intense indignation followed the spread of the news of this mean and unpatriotic use of the American Flag as an ambush from which to make a cOwardly and character-murderous attack on worthy and loyal Ameri- "an citizen. The use of the flag and 'he name. Alaska Defense Society" was clearly for the purpose of con. veying to the reader the impression that the attack was made by some patriotic organization that was inter. ested in the war.
 But such is not the case. There is no such society.
 The belief is general that Ed. c. Russell. the selfnominated Wicker shamite candidate for Territorial Senator, is himself responsible for the publication and circulation of the defamatory letter. That 1t is being circulated solely for political Dur. poses is of course selfevident.

 LOCATION OF ACCIDENT
 Vanderbilt reef is located about four miles from the West shore and little over three miles from the East shore of the mainland on Lynn Canal. North and Benjamin Islands are the nearest points of land to this reef. Bridget Cove on the East shore of the mainland and Point Whitney on the west shore are the nearest landing places on the main land. If it were possible to round Point Whitney. survivors could find good harbor in St. James Bay. With the prevailing winds and tides all familiar with those waters arc of the opinion that the boats O, wreckage would first touch on Lin coin Island or bc thrown against North and Benjamin Islands. Tho distance to Vanderbilt reef to Lin coin and RalstOn Islands are about the same as to the Sentinel Island light house.
