court CLERKS
FRAUD CHARGED
RepayS Nearly $4,000,
Says Examiners Report.

Using names of deceased or fic-
titious persons, Alvin Woodward,
Danville, Republican, former clci..
of Hendricks Circuit Court, misap-
propriated nearly $4,000 from trust
funds before his retirement on July
27, 1923.
This charge was made today in
a report to Lawrence F.. Orr, chief
examiner of the State board of ac-
counts, by B. B. Mcdonald and r.
B. Heritage, field examiners.
Under the heading "misappropti-
ated trust funds" seventy-five in
stances are /listed in the report,
showing sums ranging from a few
cents to $19821. The alleged ac-
count juggling all took place be-
tween Jan. 1, 1927, and the date OF
Woodward's retirement, the exam
liners state.
Ten days ago payment Of $1,935.58
was made by Woodward to his sue
cessor, Frank Tucker, Republican,
in settlement of the account, the
report states.
Checks to unknown persons"
we're cashed in the clerks office and
entry made, according to the report.
The examiners obtained affidavits
from six persons to whom pay
ment was recorded on the clerks
books and none know of such a
transaction, they said.
In two instances check signatures
were forgeries, the report says.
Orr will decide whether the in
formation filed today will be turned
over to the Hendricks County prose-
cutor. Because Of the repayment
it was considered unlikely that he
would take the matter up with the
attorney general he said
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-09-25

to see more home runs during
this little world series than Ro-
chester. That is, according to
physics and mathematics.
But, according to Arlington,
there isn't anything to the rumor
that the first games of the series
are being played at Rochester as
the result of a dark plot to thwart
Reb Russell, the Indians home
run king.
It will be Just as much easier
for the Red Wings to hit 'em over
the fence here as for the Indians.

 A letter from him to Harry G. Wat son, Secretary to Gov. George A. Parks, said: Tt is the most serious condition I have ever come in contact with and has disastrous possibili- ties" The town is entirely without drugs and medical supplies.
 In addition to the 300 Indian cases reported, number of whites are also affected, including Mrs. Borland who is critically i'll. Dr. Borland had an attack of the disease himself but has been able to keep going.
 Medicines were asked for and vol unteer nurses are badly needed, Dr. Borland said. The one nurse who is there was said to be overworked and breaking under the strain.
 Dr. Borland said there isn't a sin gle drug in the village. The nurse ordered a supply sometime ago but except fors few. articles not suited for treatment of influenza patients, none had arrived.
 Dr. Borland's letter was brought here by J. P. Williams of the U. S. Forest Service on the Ranger VII, Capt. George Peterson. He was en route to Strawberry Point to cruise timber and put into Hoonah late last week. When he learned of the situ- ation, he volunteered to come here for medicines and help.

Juneau Empire Favors Change
 In Provisions of Jones Act

The Juneau Empire in comment ing on the action of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce in passing a resolution calling for a repeal of the discriminatory clause in the Jones Act says.
 "The Juneau Chamber of Com merce did not consume much time in deciding to recommend the repeal of the clause in the Jones-White ship ping bill that makes it necessary for shipments from the East to Alaska via rail and water to be carried in American bottoms over the water part of the haul. This is something that does not apply to any other part of the United States. A ship ment might be sent from the State of Washington for instance, to the port of Baltimore over the Canadian Pa-

 The Wrangell resolution as sub mitted by MT. Hooper and passed by the convention was promptly for warded to the National committee on transportation at Washington, so that Delegate Dan Sutherland can have the cooperation of the main bu- reau of the United States Chamber of Commerce at Washington. in dealing with the proposed change in the Jones Act. One of the delegates who spoke on this question called it a barrier in restraint of fair trade"

Fishery Resolution is Opposed

A very important resolution was sought to be recommended regarding the enactment of new laws to fur ther regulate and restrict fishing for salmon by hook or trolling. This resolution, it was learned. was framed by Seattle fishery firms, but presented by the Eureka Chamber of Commerce. The substance of this resolution was as follows:
 That the several legislatures of California, Washington, Oregon, the British Columbia authorities, and the United States Department of Commerce (acting for Alaska) be asked to pass uniform laws to regu- late trolling and landing of troll- caught fish, by the establishment of closed season periods.
 Hooper opposed this in toto. He de- clared that he would not support any resolution affecting Alaska until he knew the wishes of the majority of the people of Alaska. Delegate W. E.. Schlothan, president of the Ketchi- kan Commercial Club, also opposed the resolution. Mir. Hooper spoke the full allotted time on the floor of the convention-one half hour-appeal- ing for justice and fair treatment for Alaska. He called upon the delegates to remember that many people in AL aska, both whites and Natives, de- pend upon trolling for their liveli- hood. He said that while in Alaska he had found that as rule the fish ermen felt themselves hampered by too many regulations already. He closed his remarks by reiterating that he would not,support any reso- lution affecting the people of Alaska until he had first been fully advised as to their wishes in the matter.
 At the conclusion of Mir. Hooper's address the chairman called on G. E. Paup of Ketchikan to give his views. MT. Paup said: 'I have nothing to add to MT. Hooper's splendid appeal on behalf of Alaska"

eific Railroad to Montreal and from there to Baltimore in a foreign yes sel. On the other hand a shipment from an eastern state to Juneau via a Canadian railroad must be carried from the western terminus of that railroad to Alaska in an American vessel. Since American vessels do not call at Vancouver or Prince Ru- pert this law deprives Alaskans of the use of the Canadian lines from the east to the west. However. an eastern shipment to San Francisco via a Canadian railroad could be le- gally carried in q foreign bottom from Vancouver or Prince Rupert, south.
 The Juneau Chamber of Com merce is being entirely consistent when it urges the repeal of this pro- vision. It protested at the time the law was passed, and tested its con- stiutionality in the Supreme Court.
 This provision in the Jones-W White law would be entirely consistent with the coastwise shipping laws that have been in effect for about 120 years, if it were applied gener- ally throughout the country-but it does not. It applies only to Alaska. It should be repealed or made to ap- ply everywhere"

 Hoonah is the first Indian eommu- nity to report an influenza epidemic. Others are almost certain to be simi- larly affected. in the opinion of Dr. DeVighne.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. S.- It was fortunate for Alaska, and particularly for Wrangell and other vital sections of Alaska, that the Wrangell Commercial Club had the foresight to place a delegate in the congress of U. S. National Chambers of Commerce, (Western Diyision), which has just adjourned after mo- mentous session, at Pasadena, Cal.
 It may be of interest to know that the convention was really a meeting of all the high lights of commerce, fisheries, mining and other interests, and that the representations of this conference are made directly to the ..ain bureau at Washington, where the National Chambers of Commerce maintain their head offices and per manent officers, in order that all legislation before Senate or CongrA may be looked into and promoted or defeated, as necessary, for justice to all interests.
