PROHI OFFICERS ARE
 ACCUSED FINCH MURDER

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-T.io county authorities are swinging to the belief that the four men who killed Omar Finch week ago were federal pro- hibition agents and not hijackers pos ing as officers. Finch, who was a grain dealer in this state was shot and killed a week ago in a saloon at Chicago Ridge. Sheriff Hoffman is making plans to bring the entire force of prohibition enforcement of ficers before Cole Finch, son of the dead man, for inspection. Cole Finch witnessed the killing of his father.

|HAZELTINE NOT
 OUT OF SERVICE


The Gateway today received a let ter from MT. F. A. Hazeltine, Divi- sional Chief, General Prohibition Agents, located at Seattle, stating that the report tha the had been removed from his position was erroneous. The report came through press" from Se- attle to all Alaskan papers, and was accepted as genuine. The letter fol- lows:
 "The published report that F. A. Hazeltine, Divisional Chief, General Prohibition Agents, located at Seattle, Washington, and who visited Alaska last summer, has been removed from his position For the good of the ser vice. has absolutely no foundation, in fact to the contrary, MT. Hazeltine has the distinction of having been the second General Agent appointed by MT. Haynes when Haynes first took office, and has always enjoyed the confidence of MT. Haynes, When Commissioner Haynes attention was called to the report he issued most emphatic denial and stated that he had no intention of transferring MT Hazeltine from his present position to that of any other, and that noth' ing was farther from his thoughts than his removal"

Effort Be Made To
 Repeal Bone Dry Law

An effort will be made at the com ing session of the Legislature to bring about referendum to secure the re- peal of the Alaska Bone Dry law, due to it's conflicting with the Volstead Act, which causes confusion of or ders and the working of both laws.
 It is said that many attorneys fav- or the repeal of the dry law, desir ing to work exclusively under the Volstead Act. The Alaska Dry Law was primarily war time measure, and antedates the Volstead Act sev- eral years.
 An attempt was made at the last legislature to repeal the law, but thru a mistaken idea that it meant repeal of all prohibition laws, the effort was killed by prohibition advocates.
 In case the law is repealed the Ter ritorial courts would be in a better working condition.
