DEATH OF BO SWEENEY,
ASSISTANT TO F. K. LANE
SEATTLE, Wash., July 16.—A dispatch
from Washington announces that Bo
Sweeney, assistant secretary of the interior,
died in that city this morning.
Sketch of His Career
Bo Sweeney was born in Henry county,
Missouri, in 1863. After graduating from
Cumberland University Law School, at
Lebanon, Tenn., he moved to Colorado, and
was admitted to the bar in 1888. He prac
ticed in Trinidad and was elected to the
Colorado legislature. In 1896 he was a dele
gate to the national Democratic convention
at Chicago, which nominated Bryan for the
presidency. He came to Seattle in 1897,
and in 1902 he was the Democratic nomi
nee for corporation counsel. In 1906 he
was an unsuccessful candidate for the su
preme court bench. In 1914 Mr. Sweeney
was appointed assistant secretary of the in
terior.
Body Was Cremated

Bo Sweeney was held today at the Church

CONSIDERABLE ANXIETY
SHOWN BY DEMOCRATS
AS TO GOVERNORSHIP
The delay in the matter of the appoint
ment of a successor to .1, F. A. Strong as
governor of Alaska has been the cause of
considerable anxiety to local Democrats,
who have been inclined to believe that the
delay was caused by the desire of the secre
tary of the interior to retain Thomas Higgs,
the man who has received a general indorse
ment for the position, in his present work
on the Alaskan engineering commission.
In the meantime Strong's claims to reap
pointment are being pressed.
With these facts in view, and desiring to
know how matters stood, The Pioneer last
week dispatched a suggestion to John W.
Troy, editor of the Juneau Empire, that in
case the department insisted on retaining
Mr. Riggs in his present position, and there
was a chance of Strong’s reappointment in
consequence, the name of Judge Charles E.
Bunnell be again presented. Judge Bunnell,
early in the fight, had been a strong candi
date for the governorship, but withdrew in
favor of Judge Jennings, as also did Mr.
Troy, whose name also hud been mentioned
as a possible candidate. It was pointed out
that Democrats here, while backing up the
nominee of the territorial central committee,
Mr. Riggs, did not desire that the office
should go to Strong by default in ease it
should be impossible to secure the appoint
ment of Mr. Riggs.
The following reply was received from
the Empire on Wednesday last:
“There is no doubt, from a careful can
vass made, that Judge Bunnell would be
completely satisfactory to ail organization
Democrats. Riggs was selected because he
also was satisfactory and it was known that
it would require no evidence to convince the
secretary of the interior that he is capable
and worthy, and because of his exceptional
acquaintance and friendship at Washington, j
The editor of the Empire, so far as known, j
was the first man to suggest Judge Bunnell |
for the place when the Democrats were seek- j
ing a candidate, and when many of them ]
were asking him to be a candidate himself.
He is still convinced that Judge Bunnell j
would make a splendid governor. The Dem- j
ocrats were seeking a man who was good ;
timber with strength at Washington.”
On Wednesday also the news dispatches
had the following from Washington:
“The indications point to the appointment
of Thomas Riggs for the Alaska governor- j
ship. He is said to have the support of ;
Chairman Vance McCormick of the Demo- |
cratic national committee. There is much j
uncertainty as to the date of appointment.” j
It would seem, therefore, that the chances
of Mr. Riggs’ appointment are excellent.
But there is quite a strong undercurrent i
here in favor of Judge Bunnell, and it is
believed by many that had his name been ■
again presented when Judge Jennings with
drew he would have been the logical candi ’
date for the honor.

EXTRADITION IS DENIED
IN CASE OF RICH CRIMINAL
ROME. July 14.—The American embassy
was informed today that the extradition of
Alfredo Cocchi, the. slayer of Ruth Cruger,
would be a violation of the governmental
law’ of Italy.
Cocchi, a notorious white slaver, who fled
from the United States to escape an indict
ment under the Mann act, wras taken into
custody here on June 2, charged with the
murder of Ruth Cruger.
The police of New York have been en
deavoring to secure Cocchi's extradition, and
his arrest in Rome was at their request. For
a long time they have been trying to run
down the perpetrators of a series of murders
connected with the white slave traffic, and
recently began digging up the cellars in two
shops occupied by’ Cocchi, who was the head
of the organized gang of white slavers.
Cocchi became a millionaire through his
connection with the traffic. Ruth Cruger
is believed to have been assaulted and mur
dered by the gang when they could not in
duce her to serve their purposes, and the
police are trying to find the bodies of other
victims whom they believe were similarly
treated. It is believed that many of the
bodies of the victims were burned, and the
police entertain no hope of finding many
bodies of the lost girls. Confessions of men
arrested in New York implicated Cocchi
as the leading figure in the horrors.
HEAD OF RAILWAY WORK
TO MAKE INSPECTION TRIP
AND VIEW COAL SITUATION
WASHINGTON, July 10. Herbert A.

charge of the construction of the Alaska
government railway, will leave here this

companied by Edward Wendt, engineer of
the interstate commerce commission, A. IJ.
Shepard of San Francisco and R. F. Austin
of Mr. Myers’ office force. The trip is pri
marily undertaken to look into the coal sit
uation.
Something About the Visitor
In a letter written to Thomas Riggs, Jr.,
member of the Alaskan engineering com
mission, H. A. Myer, assistant secretary of
the interior, states his intention to visit
Alaska during the summer, says the Seward
Gateway of June 5. He has executive charge
of the railway work in Alaska, and he in
tends t-o visit not only the coast end but
the Interior also.
The assistant secretary, before being pro
moted to his present position, was private
secretary to Secretary Lane. In that posi
tion he gained an intimate knowledge of the
railroad work and was well qualified to take
up the duties which fell to him in his new
place.
Mr. Myer has the distinction of being one
of the youngest men in the history of the
country to hold the position which he now
occupies. He is only 30 years of age, but
was given the position because of the great
executive ability he displayed when private
secretary to Mr. Lane.
As Mr. Myer has been a good friend not
only of Alaska, but of the Interior, he will
be given a big reception upon his arrival,
and it is likely that it will be an occasion
for a general holiday.
Arrives at Seattle
SEATTLE, July 20.—H. A. Myer, assist
ant to Secretary of the Interior Lane, and
his party of engineers arrived here tonight.
In all probability they will sail for Alaska
Sunday or Monday.
