 COAL IS CHARGED
Washington Starts Investigation
 in District Of Columbia

Washington, Jan, 22 Rl--An inVes- tiga'ion of charges of coal profteer- ing in Washington, with the possi- bility that it may be broadened to include the whole coal situation, has been undertaken by the senate com- mittee having Jurisdiction over the affairs of the District of Columbia.
 The inqury was ordered by Sena- tor Capper, Kansas, chairman Of the committee, as q result of assertions recently by Senator Reed, Pennsyl- yania, that coal which could be brought here from Maryland-Penn- sylvania fields for SC a ton was sell ing al from s14 10 S14.50,
 In announcing the beginning Of th" inquiry, Capper said there was an indisputably wide margin in the cost of the necessities of life from the time they left the producer 10 the time they reached the consumer. Senator Reed" he said, Says that in the case of coal the local | dealers are making a profit Of around s8 a ton. This would seem to be our opportunity of naming the responsible source for the wide spread of coal at least"
 Coal dealers of Washington and
 citizens generally were asked by
 Senator Capper 10 present thcir 1 views. Special efforts will be madt
 to gather evidence from those who

 FISH TRAPS MUST GO
 Recent advices from Canada an nounee that Arthur Meighen, Prime Minister declared by telegraph to Federal Department of Marine and Fisheries. advising the cancellation of existing trap licenses. The viz crous protest of fishermen was the cause of the withdrawal of these H. censes which were issued but recent ly. The argument set forth by the fishermen being that the traps would seriously deplete the fisheries by catching enormous quantities of sal- mon entering Canadian and Ameri- can waters.

WRANCELL STORE

O. w. Russell, merchant at Wran- gelI made an assignment of his store for the benefit of his creditors dur ing the past week. Elmer E. Carl s:rom formerly owner of the Thling- ct Trading Company has been put in charge at the request of the Se- attic Merchants Association as their repre esentative.
 The Mathison Store, which had a rating of $5O,OOO, became financial ly involved and being part of the Matheson Estate, was ordered sold by court order. The purchasers be- ing Russell and Walker. Walker re- retired from the firm during the past year since which time Russel has been operating the store.
 The obligations assumed by the buyers were so great that they were unable to avert disaster.
 Upon the death of MT. Matheson it was noted that credit extended to fishermen was not being met owing to the fact that they were not earn ing as much as prior to promul- gated fisheries regulations. The en- tire financial structure hinges about the earning power of fishermen in Alaska. When the businessmen are awakened to this fact there is nc doubt but that they will give great CT heed to the urge of fishermen for the abolishment of fish traps in or. der that resident Alaskans have op. portunity of greater earninf power

TOM MARQUAM FAILS TO
 CONVINCE PETERSBURl

length Wednesday night and befor he was through with his speech al most a half of his audience had lief the hall His whole argument be ing a mere vituperation agains Den Sutherland Had he stoppe, he stopped fifteen minutes after h. opened his speech he would hav secured votes by his talk. Tn fac Roden put forth the only argumen against the election of Dan. Int speech by Marquam convinced tht voters of Petersburg as to his un. fitness for office and his lack of fair working platform.
 By process of elimination we deal with Roden. When the Congress sional investigation as to fitness of Judge Reed and Attorney Shoup was under way the charge was made that Reed had sentenced to jail men for perjury, who upon trial were found by jury to have been not guiltay of the charge. Tn defence Of his conduct, Reed presented to the Committee a letter written by Attorney Roden who conducted the defence of the alleged fish pirates. As there attorney he said he was morally certain of their guilt and that the punishment meted them was no more than they deserved. The Comittee had some able lawyers and they questioned the ethics of Reed in presenting the letter and it led one of the Senators to ask: l "N hat kind of lawyers do you have in. Alaska to do such thing as that" We ask the same question now and wonder that an honorable man would knowinly defend the guilty to defeat justice and then to turn against his clients asin this
 VALENTINE AFFIDAVIT
 Tn speaking of the affidavit, Tom says that Valentine called it a for gerry. But Tom did not make de- nial of the charges himself. He caves that to others to raise to his defence. There are men right here in Petersburg who declare in good American" language that every word of it is true and knowing such 10 be the case Tom hides behind the denial of Valentine. As to the charge that no one dared print the matter we say that this affidavit was printed in the issue around tn vas printed in the Alaskan the first part of the month and inthe Alaska Fisherman for October. As to the Dr. Young -Sti1lman letter we did Tot care to further clutter our col- umns with the unsavory history of this candidate.
 WILLIAM PAUL-THE MENACE Marquam made many misstate- ments which We are 10th to believe deliberate falsehoods. But as he iterated and reiterated them we cannot refrain from the belief that the man was no bigger than his words. His first mistatement as to William Paul was that through a secret organization he controlled 8 thousand Indian votes The "se- cret organization referred to is the Alaska Native Brotherhood, duly organized under the laws of the Ter ritory. Insofar as Tom is concerned it will remain a secret organization for he could never qualify under the simple laws of admission. There are other white men of character who are members. Governor Brady was made charter member. No it's organization but -one meeting was held behind closed doors. There are no secret word signs or grips.

 Henry Roden, attorney from Ju- reau was chairman and toasmaster of the evening Had Tom left his campaign speech in the hands of Henry he would have faired lot better for the crowd began to tire of the whole affair before Henry was through toast masting.
 Edward Locken was the first inde- pendent candidate to speak. His platform was but the oral expression of the "twaddle" in the Empire of the entire campaign. Our reporter was unable to get to the meeting in time to get his entire speech. He declared that in order Alaska get any results from Washington for a relief in the fisheries industry it would be necessary to elect man as delegate who would have infiu- ence with officials there. That in as far as trap legislation, there was TO hope therefore no use in any at tempt on the part of Alaskans to abolish the traps.
 He believed in a literacy test. foreigners had to undergo certain examination as to fitness before they could qualify for citizenship, there tore natural born Americans should should have requirements of liter acy and that test of ability to read and write the constitution. Native money was acceptable in business and their vote will be appreciated. Put i've don't promise to abolish the fish traps"
 He asked What has the Paul-Su- therand ticket done for Petersburg. Pictured fine roads that Wrangell had and declared Sutherland was opposed to the building of the road to Blind Slough. Blames the Su- theyland-Paul ticket for the fishery conditions which he declares are getting worse. Urges the people Of Petersburg to vote at thiselec tion. .MARQUAMS TRAINED SEALS.
 Henry Roden must be running for cf1ice as he forgot his toastmasting and entered into tiresome tirade against Sutherland declaring Dan ret a resident of the Territory and as having accomplished nothing for Alaska. Show one thing that Dan had accomplished for the Territory and where he pays taxes and he would vote for him. He thenintro- ucedAllen Shattuck. The speech of this senatorial candidate was that of a business man to business men He declared that the territory had not been represented by business men so now a businss admin1stra- tion was necessary. He declared fo1 the abolishing of the taxes on the fox industry. That in the matter of tax reduction the territory Woulo dar,ve the most from the experience of bankers. Said that capital inter ests are being prejudiced from com ing in by virtue of attitude of the Leople of the territory toward cap ital already invested. Speaking o1 the conduct of the Pioneers Home declared 1t most satisfactory.

 He has greatest confidence in the in tegrity of Hoiover and O'Malley and would not believe them under the influence of the Fish Trust. He Gaoted Hoover as saying every can nery would be destroyed before the depletion of our fisheries would be permitted. That Hoover knows the :t tgulations to be wrong but they are .o be corrected. SutherIand's mis- ing to the House in his fight for the

 Al. that is now necessary is the sufficient escapement of salmon to streams and few minor changes and the law will be satisfactory to Alaskans. The Bureau of Fisheries is not under the domination of the big packers of fish but that he per- scnally knew of the iron bound re- gulations and enforcement by the Bureau of Fisheries in the Bristol Bay section. That the Bureau play ed no favorites. O'Malley was try ing honestly and efficiently to en- fierce the regulations. By fair, de- cent representation things can be accomplished by himself at Wash iagton.

 He knows as much about the hal ibut situation as the Bureau of Fisheries and the halibut fishermen themselves. Competition from the Japanese was to be feared and pre- vented by the placing ofan embargo on fereign business entering U. s. ports.
 Senator Nelson held Judge Wick ersham and Dan Sutherland in con tempt because of their attitude in the matter of appointments of cer- tam officials and again declared the usefulness of Sutherland destroyed completely by antagonizing of off, cials in Washington.
 Decries the Indian question and states frankly it should not have en- tered this campaign. The respon- sibility laying with William Paul, the worst enemy of the Indian. That he lived off the subscriptions of the Indians by fooling them into believ- Ing that through his efforts he would abolish the traps That he worked the Indian vote through a secret organization and told the In diaEs how to vote.
 Indians should not be permitted to benefit from pension funds or from the mothers pension funds as they were amply cared for by the government. They had advantages through governmental aid that white people had even to the financing of that they shrould receive aid but not from territorial funds.
 He favors literacy test law to be enacted by congress and that the test shall be one of reading and writing. He favors a fair test.
