Judge Brown Make* Order That No
Liquor Be Sold Unless People
Favor It.
Judge F. M. Brown yesterday made
an order that hereafter the commis
fsloners of the different precincts of
the Third division shall appoint two
census takers to ascertain the wish
es of the white male and female resi
dents of the precinct whenever an ap
plication for liquor license is present
ed to the clerk of the court of the
division. The two census takers are
to be disinterested persons and are to
ask every resident of the precinct if
he or she favors the sale of liquor
and such answer is to be recorded by
the takers. The people may also an
swer ‘‘no opinion.” The saloonmen
need make no other canvass nor need
they secure names to their applica
tions for license.
The order provides that no other
expression of the sentiment of the peo
ple shall be taken in one year so that
the continued agitation shall not be
kept up in each city but once dry it
remains dry for a year.
The commissioner shall appoint the
census takers whenever the first ap
plication for a license is applied for.
The order states that a majority of
the residents of the precinct shall con
sent to the sale of liquor before the
right to sell will be granted by the
judge.
But three towns in the territory are
now dry. They are Sitka, in the
First division, and McCarthy and Sand
Point in the Third division. Opinion
differs as to the result of the elec
tion, but it is certain that sorhe of
the smaller towns to the westward
Will vote "dry.”

Had Records In Fine Shape Before
Ending His Life—Was Losing
His Sight
Clerk of the District Court Arthur
Lang today received from Iliamna
word to the effect that U. S. Com
missioner Thomas W. Hanmore, of
Iliamna, had committed suicide on
January 30th by blowing the top of
his head off with a big army revolver.
Hanmore left a note telling that he
was losing his sight, and, not wish
ing to become a burden on others,
he had decided to take his life. He
also stated in the note that he left
his position and personal effects to
a party to whom he owed something.
He had taken stock of all the govern
ment’s property.
The body was found in a chair at
10 o’clock on the morning of January
30th by Alexander Flynn, who went
to the commissioner’s house to have
a tooth pulled by that official. Han
more was well-known all over Alas
ka, of which he had been a resident
for many years.
