VALDEZ DOCK
°Kwalker
Valdez Dietrict Attorney ie Recalled
by Attorney General, it a
Street Rumor.
A story has been going the rounds
the past few days that Judge George
R. Walker, the district attorney for
the Third division, has received a tel
egram from Attorney General MeRey
nolds asking for the resignation of
the Valdez official.
No one knows how the story start
ed, nor if it is founded on fact or just
started because Republican heads are
expected to fall into the Democratic
headsman's basket in this day of
Democratic control.
Pflester Hayes, the only representa
tive of the district attorney’s office
at present in Valdez, denies any
knowledge of the contemplated change
and says that no official communi
cation regarding any proposed change
has been received by him.
Local politicians claim that Attor
ney C. E. Bunnell, the leading Dem
ocratic lawyer of the Third division,
will be offered the position if he de
sires it. And some claim that Wil
liam Whittlesey, of Seward, will make
a tight to secure the job, while a
number mention T. J. Donohoe as a
possible candidate.

SAN FKANCISCO, March 14. The
j reduction of express rates by the
