 IS DUE IN TODAY

Mail Contractor John Brewer, who
 is being followed over the trail on
 the present trip by Bob Sheldon, is due in Fairbanks sometime today, Iaaccording to advices received from
 the upper town at noon. He was supposed to have completed the trip yesterday, but was delayed at the Taylor fox farm, where he had ar ranged to change rigs. Brewer has two passengers, names unknown, and shipment of second class mail Sheldon, who started from Chit ina behind Brewer with nine pass
 engers, and who made an effort to beat the mail carrier to town, had
 not reported at the fox farm up 70
 noon today, and probably will not reach town before tomorrow.
 DoOos IS tHe pioneer auto stage man of the Richardson trail and has made many fast trips between Fairbanks and Chitina. And there were many in the upper town ready ito wager a little money that he would beat Brewer on the present "trip. They are now consoling them selves with the thought that the race at least resulted in getting the mail carrier to town in some where near schedule time.
 Among Sheldon's passengers are
 Mrs. Walter Blakey and baby and Thomas K. Blakey. all of Nenana, Iwho are returning to the Interior iafter winter in the States. Mr. Blakey is coming back to re-enter the employ of the Alaskan Engi- neering commission as track fore

Says Travis
Violated Law

with the purchase OF
bonds for the State sinking funds dur
ing the last FIVE years ended yesterday
with Justice Kernochan OF Special Ses-
sions deciding that State Comptroller
Eugene NJ. Travis had violated two sec
tons OF the penal law. These related
to auditing fraudulent claims against
the State. Instead OF asking for a war
rant for the Comptrollers arrest AS
slstant District Attorney Pecora decided
to go directly before the Grand Jury.
The evidence was not sufficient, JUS
t!ce Kernochan ruled, to hold James A
Wendell, now Deputy Comptroller and
Comptroller-elect, on a charge OF violat-
ing the same sections. He hesitated to
pronounce his decision about Albert j.
Judson. bond dealer, who made nearly
100000 profit on sales to the State, the
Justice said. until he is moro sure that
Judson's refusal to sign a waiver of
immunity does not, protect him. Mr.
Pecora, who conducted the inquiry, will
submit brief to show that II does not.
After announcing his decision Justice
kernochan summoned Mr.. Travis before
him and fined him $3.50 for the contempt
or court he evinced last week when he
refused to answer questions about his
personal finances. The Comptroller was
given until Friday to pay the fine, and
II he does not a thirty day prison term
is the alternative.
On the two occasions he was on the
stand during the week Mr.. Wendell
could shed no light on letters that had
been missing from his files in Albany.
The letters had been produced by WILL
