MAYOR OF S|TKA
AND C0uNCILMEN
, ARE IN CUSTODY
Hanlon and Three Members
ArcI Arrested Warrant
= Out for Fifth Man.

w. r. IIanlon, mayor of Sitka, and
three members of his Council were
arrested Saturday in Stka charged
with malfeasance in office, and
warrant is out for the arrest OF
fourth councilman. Advices to this
effect were received Saturday night
by L. S. Marshal Albert White.
AT the time the cablegram was
sent from Sitka none of the men ar
rested had secured bond and were
confined in the Federal jail. Follow
ing hearing in the L. S. Commits
sioner'5 Court, they were bound over
to the next Federal grand jury
which will probably sit here in April.
Names of Arrested
The men in custody are: w. Il.
IIanlon, Mayor, and Councilmen A.
Murray, ". Larianof and John Ilol-
lywood. A warrent was issued for
X. Raatikainen, another member of
the Council. A deputy marshal was
due to have left Sitka yesterday
morning to serve it on him on a
neighboring island.
The charge of malfeasance in Of
flee is based on an alleged illegal
misappr6priation of city funds. 1t is
charged that on December Il, last,
the Mayor and members of the
council named held a special session
at which motion was introduced
and passed to pay Mayor 1anlon
$50 as a commission on $11,40O
worth of school bonds issued by the
City of Sitka and which the Mayor
claimed to have been instrumental
in selling. 1t is claimed the Mayor
could not legally receive such com
pensation and that the Council acted
illegally in giving it to him.
The action was started by num-
Der of taxpayers. The complaint on
which the warrants were issued was
also signed by taxpayers. Deputy
Marshal w. H. Caswell investigated
the complaint prior to its filing. Min
utes Of the special meeting of De
cember II are said to substantiate
the allegation that the funds were
voted to Mayor Ilanlon.
