Three Former Alaskans Now in Seat
tle Wire to Judge Brown for Po
sition is Street Rumor.
It is rumored on the streets that
three former members of the Valdez
bar have wired to Judge F. M. Drown
making application for the position
made vacant by the death of Judge
Paul d’lleirry, who was Pnlted Stittes
commissioner at Chitina at the time
of his decease. Tom Scott, formerly
chief deputy clerk of the court under
the Republican administration: Judge
Thomas Shepard, formerly T'nited
States commissioner, at Valdez, and
Judge J. L. Reed, at one time com
missioner of Valdez and prior to that
at Seward, is also reported to have
requested the appointment.
Oscar Fish was appointed commis
sioner by Judge Brown at the time
of the death of Judge d’Heirry in or
der that the affairs of the office might
be kept in condition and also that a
prisoner in the Chitina jail might be
granted an immediate trial.
Judge Finnigan is also believed to
be willing to accept the position and
Judge Chapin and Frank Foster would
be glad to receive the appointment.
It is not believed here by court of
| ticials that any appointment will be
I made by Judge Brown until he has
; made a trip to Chitina after the end
j ing of the present term of court in
j the railroad town.
