FAIRBANKS NOTES


! The Republican divisional com mittee, called together for the first time since the reorganization of the party in Interior Alaska, met at the City hall on Thursday night for the purpose of indorsing candidates for various offices. The entire Fairbanks delegation was represented in per son, and there were a few out-of- town committeeman present, but most of the outlying precincts were represented by proxy. Divisional Committeeman Thos. A. Marquam presided as chairman and George Moody acted as secretary.
 The first order of business was the appointment of a credentials committee and, after this committee had reported, after a recess of half an hour, and the report had been accepted, Cecil H. Clegg, member of the Fairbanks delegation, announced that he desired to be put on record as protesting against the meeting on the grounds of irregularity. To which MT. Marquam replied that the meeting was being held under the regular organization and was in all respects regular. He said further that he had always stood for har- mony in the party and did not want a split now-that as far as he was concerned, he would step down at any time in favor of a man upon whom all sides could agree.
 Then followed nominations for indorsement, and the name of Mir. Marquam was presented for judge. He was given the indorsement with out opposition.
 Charles Beam and Thomas H. Long, of Ruby, were proposed for marshal and MT. Beam received all but one vote. Longs name was pre- sented by E. Coke Hill, who held the Ruby proxy.
 Guy B. Erwin, who is the only candidate in the field for district attorney, received the unanimous support of the meeting for that posi- tion.
 Hawley w. Sterling, who is seek ing the appointment as surveyor general of the territory, also had clear sailing, there being no oppo- sition to his indorsement.
 MT. Marquam proposed the name of George c. Hazelet, sof Cordova, for indorsement for the governor ship. He referred to Mir. Hazelet as one of the really big men of the territory, qualified in every way to serve Alaskans as governor. He re- ferred to the attack that had been made on MT. Hazelet during the primary campaign by c. E. Heron, and produced certified copies of the court proceedings and the retraction made by Heron.
 MT. Marquam also proposed the name of James Wickersham, on be- half of certain of the committeeman whose proxies he held. The vote resulted in big majority for the Cordova man, after which the meet ing adjourned. .@>.. l EronL Edo1rooo ;e Q rooop+ or

House cleaning in both the en-

the revival OF building activities in

COURT DECIDES POPE
CAN Be CONVICTED Of
MURDER FIRST DEGREE
Hundred Additional Ne,
! rairernan Called FHsial
Which to Make Jury
CBy AssociateJ Fress.r

Jacksonville, Sept. 27.-The origi-
nal venire of Is men drawn as pros
pective jurors to try John H. Pope,
local attorney, on a charge of mur-
der, was exhausted. today, and Judge
G. C. Gibbs, presiding, Immediately
ordered the summoning of 100 addi-
tional men. The case will be taken
up again at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon
when it is expected the second lap
of the tedious examination of venire-
men will be begun. The count of the
tentative jury was eleven tonight.
Several times since the selection of
d jury began twelve men have been
passed, only to be disqualified on re-
examination or in the case of three to
fall out on peremptory challenges by
the state.
The defense lost its contention to-
lay that it was the burden of the
state to show that Pope acted pre-
meditatively, to effect the killing of
George H. Hickman, theatre manager
who lost his life in resisting the rob
berry of the theatre by Frank Raw
lings. The defense had raised the
point yesterday in an effort to vir-
tually kill the first count of an in
dictment on which Pope is being
tried. Judge Gibbs took the question
under advisement after lengthy argu-
ment BY opposing counsel and today
in rendering his decision held that
under Florida law the principle in the
second part shares equally with the
principle in the first part, the re-
sponsibility of any crime resulting in
the carrying out of a conspiracy.
The state has announced that it
will attempt to show that Pope con-
spired, aided and abetted Rawlings
in the commission of the robbery. The
iefense has not made known its plan
to combat these specific charges.

Witness Relates Intimate
Details of Fatal
CarOuSal

San Francisco, Sept. 27.-The dis
trict attorney rested his case late to-
day in the Roscoe c. Arbuckle MUIR
der charge hearing in police court
on the grounds that sufficient testi-
mony had been developed to war
rant the defendant being held to
answer.
Counsel for the defense objected
violently to the fact that Mrs. Maud
belmont, the complaining witness,
had not been put on the stand.
Judge Lazarus denied motion to
dismiss the charges gainst Arbuckle
and the case was continued until to-
morrow at p. m.
Judge Lazarus will decide tomor-
row whether to hold Arbuckle for
the superior court on a charge of
murder or whether. the movie come
dian will go to trial on the lessor
charge of manslaughter. The court,
although warning the district attor-
aay that he was running the danger
of a dismissal by not producing more
proof, practically removed all possi-
5ility of such action by denying a
defense motion to dismiss, and an
nouncing that he rarely failed to
hold a defendant to answer. AS to
the particular charge, however,
Judge Lazarus said his mind was not
yet made up. The defense demanded
opportunity to prove Mrs. Delmont's
accusations against Arbuckle to be
falsehoods, but Judge Lazarus said
the District Attorney could not be
compelled to put her on the stand,
although he regretted greatly that
more proof had not been given and
the complainant examined.
District Attorney Brady suggest
ed that the defense could call Mrs.
belmont for witness, but the at
torneys declined to accept the sug-
gestiOn.
Two women, Web Provost and Alice
Blake, testified today that Miss Rappa

HAD A REGULAR SYSTEM
Federal Authorities Are
Proving Fitzmorris
Was Right

Chicago, Sept. 27.-A multiple
shake down system through which
Chicago policemen were alleged to
have obtained as many as half a
dozen rakes off on the same case of
whiskey was revealed today in the
government investigation of the po-
lice department said by Chief of
Police Charles Fitzmorris to contain
$500 bootleggers in a membership
of 5000.
The request of Chief Fitzmorris
that the federal authorities help him
clean his own house made last week
was placed before the federal grand
jury with a score of witnesses, most
of them policemen. testifying.
One of these witnesses, according
to officials, explained the multiple
shoke down. Members of the police
force organized in bands, he said,
would obtain information as to whis-
key shipments from other cities in
to Chicago and then in unifrm would
rob the cars in freight yards under
pretense of confscating the liquor.
The whiskey then was sold at fair
ly cheap bootlegging prices, the
cheapness making it easy to get
customers to take it in case lots.
When the liquor was delivered, how
ever, a policeman appeared and de-
manded substantial amount from
the recipient for protection. After
the sum had been paid other police
men would raid the place and after
collecting another protection fee
would confscate the liquor, resell it
and repeat the process of graft
sometimes half a dozen times be-
fore turning the whiskey over to a
favored saloon keeper for sale by the
drink at high prices.

Four Witnesses Examin-
ed in Case First Day
OF Trial
AGED FATHER TESTIfIES.
Questioning of Defense
Indicates Belcher Not
To Testify

Clearwater, Sept. 27.-A jury was
chosen and four witnesses for the
state testified at the first day Of the
trial here in circuit court today, of
DR.. l. j. Belcher, of Tarpon Springs,
who is charged with manslaughter
in connection with the death of Miss
Virginia Turner, aged 81, whose body
was found in Booker creek late in
the afternoon of August 27.
1t was anticipated that there would
be a struggle to get jury inasmuch
as the young woman and Belcher
were cousins and that both the Bel
cher and Turner families are among
the oldest in the county and have
wide connections. But this did not
prove to be the case. The jury was
secured by o'clock this afternoon.
The first witness, C. A. Stiles, of
St. Petersburg, testified to the find
ing of the body by himself and w.
H. Langdon, also of st. Petersburg,
while on a fishing trip. Langdon's
testimony was similar to that of his
companion.
C. M. Alexander, the undertaken
to whose place of business the body
was taken, told of the condition of
the body.
A. C. Turner, 80 years old, father
of the dead girl, was the last witness
of the day. He told of the girls leav-
ing home in the morning of the We'd
nesday, preceding the Saturday on
which the body was found and of the
family receiving no word from her
after that.
The state will introduce 1about a
score of witnesses. The defense has.
not yet stated whether DR.. Belcher
himself will take the stand. However,
his counsel asked several prospective
jurors if they would be impressed
against the defendant by the fact
that he was not placed on the stand.
This gave rise to the belief that the
physician would not go on the stand.
The charge against Belcher is that
the girl came to her death at his
hands through the performance of a
criminal operation. Conviction car
ries with it an extreme penalty of
twenty years Imprisonment. Another
indictment charges DR.. Belcher with
being accessory in the disposing of the
body.
