VALUABLE PROPERTY IN
DANGER OF FORFEITURE
So serious is the predicament of
prominent pool room and billiard
parlor owners at Anchorage as the
result of arrests that they have call
ed Attorney L. V. Ray from Seward
at a heavy expense to defend them.
Under the ruling of Secretary Lane
lot owners at Anchorage are liable to
forfeit their property if liquor is sold
thereon or if gambling occurs.
During the past two weeks numer
ouh raids have been made on the pool
halls and arrests made on warrants
sworn to by Assistant U. S. Attorney
Munley.
The pool halls involved in the cases
are valuable property, the lots run
ning at from $5,000 to $7,000 each
and the buildings and equipment at
from $5,000 to $20,000. In cases
where there is a conviction the pow
er lies with the secretary of the in
terior to cancel the title to the ground
in cases where he deems the owner
had knowledge of the offense. In
cases where lots were confiscated fol
lowing the sale of liquor it was held
that the secretary might cancel title
It he saw fit regardless of circum
stances and there is no appeal from
his decision.
There have been strong hints of
some sort of graft in connection with
the gambling in Anchorage in recent
issues of the Anchorage Times, but
the officials involved in the repo t
or the manner in which they grafted
was not set forth.—Seward Post.
