WHO CLOSED
THE SALOONS?
Walker Directed Marshal to Close Sa
loons—May Try to Close All
Places of Business.
The question of who caused the
issuing of the order to the saloon
keepers of this division that all sa
loons must be closed from Saturday
night at midnight to midnight Sun
day jhas ^caused 'much speculation.
Some place the blame one place, some
another, but at this time it is al
most impossible to say who really is
the originator of the Sunday closing
movement. It is generally conceded
that the closing of the saloons at
Nome caused the trouble and started
the ball rolling.
At any rate the notice has been is
sued by the marshal’* office and they
in turn were directed to take' I he
steps necessary to this end after re
ceiving the following letter from
District Attorney Walker:
Hon. F. R. Brenneman, United States
Marshal, Valdez, Alaska.
Sir: The Attorney General has di
rected me to take steps to enforce the
Sunday closing law as against the
saloons in this division. You are,
therefore, requested immediately, to
serve notice upon each saloonkeeper
in this division requiring him to close
nts oar room on earn ana every sun- j
isiy hereafter between the hours of
12 o’clock Saturday night and 12 o’clock
Sunday night. You may notify the sa
loonkeepers that if this order is dis
obeyed criminal prosecutions will be
brought for violations of the Sunday
closing law and proceedings will be
instituted to revoke the license of
anyone who may keep his bar room
unday. Respectfully,
GEORGE R. WALKER, -
United States Attorney.
Just who started Judge Walker on
this purity movement is not known
outside of such information as is con
tained in the letter.
It has been rumored that the sa~
loonmen will attempt to close all
places of business in Valdez on Sun- |
days in order that others may suffer
because they do, and for the further
reason that they hope to secure help
to have the order revoked. It is
however, doubtful, if the rumor has
any foundation in fact or that the
saloon owners will attempt to step
on the toese of other business men
just because they have been hurt
themselves. The order for the Sun
day closing, as given to the marshal,
provides only that saloons shall close.
FOR RENT or lease, one pool and
one billiard table complete. Inquire at
the Big Place. Also a moving picture
machine in first-class condition. t.f
FOR RENT—Four rooms over the
Valdez Drug Store. Inquire of Val
dez Drug Company. tf

$75,000,000 in Six Years, Says
David Lamar.
WASHINGTON. March 3.— David j
Lamar, the New York stock broker,
who impersonated members of con- I
gress about a year ago and is now j
under indictment for the offense, ap- j
peared before the Interstate Com- |
nifrce Commission today and testified j
that the United States Steel Trust
had ' c. cd $75,000,000 in rebates
from the tailroads in the past six
years and by getting cheaper rates
were thus able to prevent competi
tion.
The Interstate Commerce Commis
sion has called upon the companies
for the books and will investigate the
charges. The officials of the Steel
Trust are attending the hearings and
are represented by some of the best
attorneys in the East.
