The probability is that the new
investigation of Judge Wickersham
in Alaska next summer will be
made by Alfred \V. Cooley, the
funner ci^il service (oromissioner
and the present assistant attorney
general. Unless present plans are
changed, Mr. Cooley will be de
tailed to this work, and he will go
North' with the opening of naviga
tion. Mr. Cooley is a warm friend
of the president, and is his fre
quent companion-—so much so that
he lias been elected by the funny
writers to membership to the “ten
nis cabinet.”
