WEEKLY MEETING CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AT THE GRILL
 IS LARGELY ATTENDED

Yesterdays regular meeting of the Seward Chamber of Commerce was full of interest to the many members in attendance. Much correspondence was read, the bulk of which appears in other columns of this issue, and other matters which the chamber has been quietly working on for months, were either discussed or action taken.
 One communication received asked for information regarding cattle and sheep raising in this and the westward district. Capt. o. A. Johansen dwelt at some length on this subject point ing out the ideal surrounding locali- ties for carrying on this industry.
 The exhibit committee reported pro- gress in the preliminary plans of gath ing specimens and arranging an ex- hibit quarters.
 Elwyn Swetmann made the sugges- tion that Moose Pass needed a rail road siding quite badly and that eff forts to procure one for some months past have thus far proven unavailing A motion was regularly made and seconded that the chamber go on re. cord petitioning the Alaska Railroad for a siding at Moose Pass. The mo tion was unanimously carried.
 The necessity for school house al the Jesse Lee Home was stressed by Capt. Johansen. In effect he said this is an emergency proposition and funds must be raised for the construc tion of such school next summer The chamber body has the problem we'll in hand and headway is being made. Upon regular motion the sec retary was instructed to communicate with Lester D. Henderson, superin tendent of Territorial schools.

LETTER CALLED GOV. GEO. PARKS
 AT WASHINGTON
IMPORTANT LETTER ON PRO- POSED HEREINAFTER RE-
 CElVED FROM SEATTLE

Since the letter published below was received, and for months previ- ous, the local Chamber of Commerce has worked without letup in an eff fort to procure breakwater for small vessels in Resurrection Bay. Their efforts have not ben unavail- ing as is attested by the preliminary work already accomplished by the harbor and rivers surveys, War de- partment.
 In connection with this matter the letter from the Fishing Vessel Own CTS Association, of Seattle, is of par ticular intreest, so much in fact, that a copy of it was telegraphed last evening to Gov. George A. Parks of Alaska, who is now at Washington.
 The letter:
 Seward c. of G..
 Seward, Alaska.
 Dear sirs:
 
 sent you on June Fist, 1924 regarding the establishment of breakwater or some sort of shelter in Resurrection Bay for the protection of vessels moored there. As we have not heard anything nor about the matter, we wish to register a more urgent ap- peal.
 Every year the number of vessels in the halibut fleet is increasing and along with it the need for better facilities for anchoring and dock ing vessels in Seward is becoming more acute As we stated in our pre- vious letter, when strong wind is blowing outside of Seward harbor there is little to be gained by going into the harbor and other places are out of the question as they are eith- CT too far from the fishing banks oI have no stores from which the boats may get supplies. The wind that sometimes develops in the bay makes the present facilities inadequate and dangerous.
 Our organization which consists ot the largest part of thevessels going into Seward deems this matter as urgent for a shelter is pressing and plans for it's construction should be | hastened.
 Yours very truly,
 Fishing Vessels Owners Assn, H. E. LOKKEN

charges filed. He disclosed that the Department of Justice under the di- rection of Assistant Attorney General Donovan had investigated the whole case, but it developed that the De partment failed to file with the com mittee many records in the case, in- cluding the affidavits.
 w. c. r. U. Behind the Delegate
 Delegate Sutherland said, "I don't know what the Department of Justice has done, but I do know that Mrs. Willebrandt wanted this whole mess cleaned up."
 Watson of Indiana said that Lynn Smith, nominated for marshal of the Fourth division, was former Indi- anian and 'I want to comment him in unmeasured terms. He is very honest man."
 The only protest against Smith came from J. T. Zimmerman, an Alaskan, who said that the "wets" supported Smith in his candidacy. Delegate Sutherland pronounced Smith "a very fine man."
 Congressman Gooding vigorously defended Albert White, former Val dezan, before Chairman Cummins. He reported that the accusation that the bootleggers had supported the candi- dacy of White was false. Gooding said that White had been with both the Department of Justice and the Prohibition unit, and was being sent to Alaska because he was a fearless public official who believed in the en- forcement of law and will enforce it vigorously"
 Wayne Wheeler praised White and the work he had done as a prohibition officer
 Delegate Sutherland read the com plaint of John w. Frame that Judge E. E. Ritchie had been convicted of criminal libel in Utah before going to Alaska and that Ritchie encouraged ! the lawless and criminal element by stating from the bench that it was not a moral offense to violate the H. quor laws; that Ritchie had appoint ed Frank H. Foster of Cordova dis trict attorney after Foster and Mrs. Della Chase, the latter employed in the office of the Clerk of Court at Valdez, had been ejected from hotel in Valdez scantily clad; that Ritchie had circulated libelous letter about Frame in which Ritchie referred to Frame as "a chronic dead beat, a blackguard and to some extent a blackmailer."
 Delegate Sutherland said that the charges about Frame in Ritchie's let ter were declared false in affidavits by some of the best men in Alaska He presented a letter from D. w Flanigan, a Federal prohibition agent at Valdez, saying Foster was mem Der of the strongest bootlegging ring in the Third division. Others named by Flanigan as connected with the ring included Dr. w. w. Council Frank Cunningham, Harry O'Neill, and James Galen, all prominent citizens of Cordova.
 Another letter from Frame to the Delegate charged that Judge Ritchie had named A. H. Mcdonald receiver for a coal company in Alaska in order to enable Mcdonald and the Bank ot Alaska to get possession of the prop erty in question.

(P) Doctor Clarence True Wilson, sec retary of the Methodist Board of Temperance Prohibition and Public Morals, told the Judiciary committee that the Department of Justice re- fused representa- of the anti Saloon League and other prohibition organiza tions the opportunity to pre- sent protests against the reappoint- ment of Federal judges, marshals and district attorneys in Alaska.
 Wilson said that Assistant Attorney General John Marshall, who handled the appointments refused audience then, and denied the delegation ac- cess to his office.
 Attorney General Marshall said: Such an interview would only mess things up"
 Wilson added: Not in China, South American or anywhere else in the world will you find such open condi- tions as are flourishing in Alaska without being rebuked. A moral clean sing is necessary, but it cannot be had under the regime of the pres ent Judges, District Attorneys and Marshals."
 Representative Free, of California, l declared that law enforcement con- ditions are good, and added: My observation of Alaska from a stand point of liquor enforcement is mor- ally better than here in Washing ton" In conclusion Free said that a number of prominent business men told him that Reed, and Shoup were god men and should be reappointed
