Governor Green, attacking the
terms Of the bill, which he character
lied as extreme and inflexible, -
and the theory Of capital punishment,
vetoed the death bill one minute
after it had beer placed on his desk
yesterday.
Replies to Letters
The Governor today began the
task Of making personal replies to

There was no sentimentality in
the governors veto. He declared
that he readily agreed that there

believed promptness was more I'M

One Of the governors funda-

its lack Of a referendum.

He contended that it would be
just one more law to be flouted,
and that only a referendum could

The bill provides for an electric

death sentence was mandatory in

JUSTICE JOYC CE
DEF|ES RUM
THREAT

Armed deputy sheriffs will be sta
toned In the office of Justice of the
Peace Robert Joyce at Mt. Rainier
tonight prepared to ward off any
attempt on the part of organic ed
rum runners to interfere with the
| preliminary hearing Of the man
| slaughter charge against Edwin M.
Martin, colored, of this city.
Martin is accused of causing the
death of Dano M. Jackley, a prohibi-
tion agent, on the Baltimore Pike
last Tuesday. Jackiey was killed
when the automobile in which he
and other dry agents were pursuing
an alleged rum car. was forced off
the road and crashed into
telegraph pole.
Letter Threatens
Yesterday Judge Joyce received
an anonymous letter warning him
that I'VE are becoming tired" so
don't you or anyone else have any
thing to say in regards to the driver
in that rum case"
Judge Joyce turned the letter over
to Sheriff Charles Early who, fear.
ing that rum runners may adopt
Chicago methods to prevent the
punishment of Jackley's killer,
ordered his deputies to attend the
hearing prepared for trouble.
The letter was scrawled in pencil
and was posted in Washington at
1880 o'clock Wednesday. shortly
after 1t was announced that Judge
Joyce had issued a manslaughter
warrant for Martin.
Joyce Unafraid
The text of the letter follows:
"DoG j.. you or anyone else have
anything to say in regards to the
driver in that rum case. We are
tired and have been for some time.
So let this be your warning. Cut
1t out. for we are becoming tired"
The letter failed to frighten Judge
Joyce who declared that the pre-
iminary hearing would start at the
scheduled hour and that every eff
fort would be made to find the true
facts surrounding the death of
Jackley.
: "The note was the work of some
one nearly illiterate," Judge Joyce
said. IF it was meant to frighten,
it has failed of its purpose.
Inquest To Precede
Previous to Martins arraignment
on the manslaughter charge, an in
quest into Jackley's death will be
held tonighR The three prohibition
agents who rode with Jackley dur.
ing the chase will be witnesses at
both proceedings.
Martin was arrested is hours
after Jackley's death by members of
the homicide squad who traced the
numbers of the alleged rum car.
After learning of Martins arrest
Judge Joyce issued the warrant
charging him with manslaughter.
He is at liberty under $500 bond.

 NATURALIZATION PAPERS

Aliens in the Territory who have been unable to obtain citizenship papers because of the loss of rec ords of their legal entry into the United States, are availing them selves of the naturalization privi- leges contained in the regulations which became. effective July L. The stringency of the Alaska game laws with respect to aliens, has had the effect of speeding natural izations in all parts of the terri tory, and it is expected that those aliens who have not already taken advantage of the provisions of the new law, will do so as soon as they become aware of the opportunity provided.
