STATEHOOD FOR TERRITORY IS

He says: After all na- tional interests in Alaska are para mount. Alaska presents in her enormous agricultural areas, marine. fisheries, resources for growing meat

Ousting 0f District Attorneu Is Urged by Attorney General Before Massachusetts Court

to prosecute Merrill w. Shute after Shute's indictment on the charge of embedding $15,0O0 from Emma F. Bracket of Bangor, Me. ..~..t.. E Coakley and William J. Corcoran. former district attorney of Middlesex county, are named as among those with whom Pelletier is alleged to have conspired. Mr. Allen charges that the district attorney conspired with Coakley and others to extort $20,500 from the Emerson Motors Co.,. to procure the abandonment of threatened criminal prosecution.
 Pelletier is further charged with having conspired with Coakley to at- tempt to extort $1O.00O from Warren C. Daniel, dealer in securities, by threats of prosecution. Conspiracy is charged also in the case of Dor othy Cote who, it is alleged, was forced to abandon suit for conver sion of an automobile by similar threats.
 Mrs. Elizabeth Chase Emery, daughter of Worcester county mil lionaire, figures in the charges, in specification that Pelletier conspired with Coakley, Corcoran and others to extort money from her, Curtis w. Emery, her second husband, and Mrs. Jennie s. Chase, her mother.
 Conspiracy to frighten Albert T. Smith into paying $375O0 as alimony to his wife, Agnes l.. Smith, and abandonment of prosecution against Smith after the money was paid also are charged. In this conection the attorney general alleges that one half the $37.5OO alimony was claimed by Coakley as a contingent fee.
 When these charges were first filed Pelletier asserted that MT. Allen had acted to discredit his can didacy for mayor. which he was planning to make public the next day. Pelletier withdrew from the mayoralty race on December 2.
 On November 23, Pelletier attacked as unconstitutional the statute under which the original proceedings were brought, contending that inasmuch as he had been elected to office he was removable only through impeach- ment proceedings. He said the law giving majority of Supreme Court justices the power to remove a dis trict attorney after a hearing con- flicted with the 14th amendment to the Federal constitution. He peti- toned the court for writ of prohi- bitfon restraining further action on the original information. Two days later Justice De Courcy ruled that the court was without Jurisdiction to issue such writ and dismissed the petition.
 Pelletier has been district attorney of Suffolk county since November, 1909. He filled out tho unexpired term of the late John B. Moran and was subsequently, reelected for suc- cessive terms.

BOSTON, Jan. 4. Three alleea- tions of misconduct were presented in the supreme judicial court by At- torney General Allen when the trial of District Attorney Joseph c. Peile- tier of Suffolk county, was resumed.
 The defense scored a point in rela- tion to the charge that Pelletier used his office to frighten Charlotte, Board into dropping breach of promise suit she intended to file against Samuel D.. Waxan.
 The court upheld the constitution ality of the statute under which the attorney general is proceeding.
 Removal of Pelletier as district at torney of Suffolk county, is asked by Attorney General Allen on the gen. eral charge that Pelletier's continued incumbency is "inimical to the pub lie interest" Two sets of charges against the district attorney, as we'll as a petition for his disbarment, have been filed.
 In the original charges, Pelletier is alleged to have aided in extorting or attempting to extort money or proper ty from certain persons by threats of prosecution. The attorney general alleges that the district attorney pro- cured indictments that ought not to have been procured; that he failed from improper motives to prosecute in specified cases and that he per- mitted persons to use his office in coercing other persons to release or settle civil claims.
 The first charges. submitted on October 27 last. contain 35 specifi- cations. Some of these are items taken from petition of the griev- ance committee of the Boston Bar Associations; others were formulated by the attorney general. Some are virtually the same as those on which Mir Allen is seeking the disbarment of Daniel H. Coakley of Boston, an attorney, who was mentioned fre- auently in the proceedings that re- suited in the removal last fall of Nathan A. Tufts as district attorney Of Middlesex county.
 The second set of charges against Pelletier, filed Nov. 21, resulted from a speech he made when a candidate for mayor. In this speech, as read by Allen before the Supreme Court, the district attorney was quoted as saying that he would nolle prosesqui the case of anyone who would "back up" denial that he (Pelletier> in- tended to resign.
 Attorney General Aliens petition alleged that the acts of Pelletier as district attorney since November IS, 1909, when he took office. down to date of filing the charges, show him to be unfit to hold office. It charges that Pelletter conducted his office in an unlawful and reprehens- ible manner"
