Charges have been tiled against
Edward Kxum, who was named
Monday as marshal of this di
vision by President W ilson. He
is accused with having been the
owner of the cribs of the town
of Chitina. Tile proof of the
charges are contained in the rec
ords of the ease of II. Robinson
against Exum to recover on a
promissory note for $500, and in
his defense Exum swears to an
affirmative answer in which he
claims the money was loaned by
Robinson to be used for the pur
pose of the construct ion of cribs
at Chitina and that when Hie pro
fits reached $500 tile money was
to he refunded.
The records also show that Ex
11111 wrote to Robinson as follows.
“It lias crowded us awfully hard
to meet the payments and there
is .only one girl on the line. It
has been awfully dull here: near
ly as had as Cordova, and they
toll: me they are collecting no
relit there.”

of the brothels at Chitina has
.caused much dissatisfaction 'licit
