ALLEY SCHEME
Judge Brown Adheres to Policy
of Letting Organized Towns
Manage Own Affairs.
Judge Brown ill Hie district
court today aniiouneed his ud
tlel'ellre lo Hie policy of allowing
incocporaled towns in Alaska to
control their domestic affairs un
less a strong case is made for
federal interference. Tile decla
ration was made in granting li
quor licenses to the three saloons
on the lower side of McKinley
street, whose rear opens to the
"alley,” as the local red light
district is known.
The saloons in question are
the Exchange, Senate and North
ern. District attorney WalkTT
some time ago asked the city to
move the restricted district to a
more remote part of the town.
The council considered the mat
ter and replied that the district
is fenced on three sides with a
high board fence and obscured on
the other by the business blocks
in front, arid that public opinion
takes the view that this social
problem as at present regulated
is less obtrusive and disorderly
and easier to handle than if re
moved to a remote locality, where
jit would be more conspicuous
land less easily reached.
The council, therefore, refused
to lake any action unless requir
ed to do so by the1 federal auth
orities. Judge Walker' then de
cided that public morality would
be promoted by the erection of a
high board fence between the al
ley and the rear of the saloons,
and he objected to allowing li
censes to tne saloons near the al
ley until the fence was built. The
matter was stated to Judge
Brown and after a lengthy argu
ment by Judge Walker the fol
lowing statement was made by
Judge Brown:
i trunk i understand trie suu
ation pretty well. The Depart
ment of Justice has adopted the
policy of allowing these prob
lems to be dealt with by the mu
nicipal governments, ami only in
cases where they have shown
themselves unable to deal with
them or have permitted abuses
so flagrant as to excite opposition
and protest has the federal gov
ernment interfered.”
'Judge Brown added an admo
nition, applying to all saloon men
alike, stating that they should be
careful to i\eep their places or
derly and ,should carefully ob
serve all regulations laid down
for their conduct, lie told them
this would be better for Itiem, as
disorderly oar rooms roused hos
tility to the business. All the lo
cal saloon applications were
granl ed.
