Written statement.

WASHINGTON D. C., Mar. 27. LP) Judge Elmer E. Ritchie, before the Judiciary subcommittee probe said it is difficult to meet the charges made against him because he is not con. fronted by witnesses. He said he wanted to cross examine Delegate Sutherland and denounced the charges as hearsay. He declared Sutherland only made few charges within his own actual knowledge, and said an attempt was made to bolster up the charges against him by declaring emi- nent citizens of Alaska supported them. Referring to the charge that he wrote letter labelling John w. Frame, he testified a person asked him to give such information con- cerning Frame.
 He dictated letter to stenogra- pher stating what he knew about Frame and insisted he had right to do so and said ninety per cent of the people of the Third Division will SUD- port the accuracy of his statements. Ritchie said the election of Frame was obtained through the votes of thou sand illiterate Indians.
 Ritchie declared Mrs. Chase had a good character when Senator Means, asked him if he thought the knowledge of Frank Foster of Cordova and Mrs. Chase had a good
 Chase drinking cocktails helped the enforcement of prohibition. Ritchie also replied it was not generally known.
 Senator Overman asked whether Foster was appointed after the hotel escapade. Ritchie replied the appoint ment was made two years later. Rit- chic said the business men of Cordova requested Fosters selection.
 The committee several times re. minded Ritchie of his conviction in Utah. Ritchie insisted he was vic tim of shyster lawyers and that the jury verdict surprised everybody.

SIBERIA TOO MUCH
 FOR HIM TO DIGEST
EVERYTHING WAS ROSY UNTIL SOVIET CHAPTERS HORNED
 IN ON THE DEAL

SEATTLE, Mar. 27. (P)-Dan Aston, Alaskan sourdough, arrived after four years spent in Siberia where he has been mining for the last seventeen months. The Government engineer de- clared the Soviet rule is rapidly stamp ing out the last vistage of initiative in Siberia and the working class is crying for "the good old days when Nicholas ruled"
 Aston took out $5O,OOO in gold placer fields on the upper Aldan river, 20O0 miles from Vladivostok and was al. lowed only a hundred dollars when he sailed from Ruissan soil.
 He said: "I still have bank account at Vladivostok and was promised by the government that I can draw a hundred dollars month as long as the account lasts, but that was only So- viet promise. I arrived at the Aldan field six months before the govern ment learned about it. The soil is sim
  liar to the Yukon, paydirt running 25 feet deep and averages about two pounds of gold day, working shov- el and rocker. When the Soviets came every man was made to exchange his gold for paper. The Government took charge and hired men at two dollars day, who pocketed the prof it's. Life in the gold field was worse than anything I ever saw during my twenty years in Alaska. Murders are daily occurances; the men lived like animals.
 What am I going to do you ask me? Why, I'm taking the next boat home to Alaska!"
