WARNS SEATTLE
~ HOT TO MEDDLE
Delegate it Opposed to 8eattle Organ
izations 8ending Men to Wash
ington.
Delegate James Wickersham Is
afraid that there will be an attempt
to unite the proposition for the gov
" ernment railroad construction in
Alaska and the effort to get $1,000,
000 a year for wagon roads into one.
iHe says there is % fair chance to suc
ceed with the raihoad bill with the
administration behind it, and he
thinks the bill should not be com
plicated with the additional proposi
tion. He says he will fight any move
that might be made to tack a wagon
road amendment to the other meas
ure.
The Seattle Sun quotes him as fol
lows:
"I understand the commercial bod
ies in Seattle contemplate sending
men to Washington this winter to
lobby for the Alaska railway bill. It
would be very much less expensive
to Seattle and of very much more
advantage in our efforts to pass the
bill if the commercial bodies in the
state of Washington would see to it
that the two senators and five rep
resentatives in congress from this
state support the bill as reported in
the House and Senate.
“If there is any fool effort to put
amendments on the bill in any in
terest. it may result in disaster. What
Alaska needs is a united delegation
from the state of Washington be
hind the bill as reported in both
branches of congress. We do not
need the assistance of any lobby from
Seattle or anywhere else for any pur
pose.
“The members of congress from
Washington are not united on the
bill and there is grave danger of its
defeat unless they are persuaded to
present a solid front in its 'favor.
“The commercial bodies of Seat
tle ought to see to it that there is
no division among the members of
congress from Washington, and that
all of them make a united and earnest
effort to pass the bill without experi
menting on doubtful amendments.”
It has been intimated that the real
purpose of the visit of the Seattle
delegates to Washington will be for
the purpose of having an amendment
carrying an appropriation of $7,000,
000 for dirt roads tacked on to the
bill.
Wickersham, who is known as !
“Fighting Jim” among his constitu
ents in the north, was not at all
backward in speaking of the course
he would follow if such an attempt
were made.
“I will fight it,” he said, “from j
start to finish. The bill as it now j
reads is ‘purely railroad' and stands
a good chance to pass both houses
without much opposition. But if any
body wants to kill the bill, the best
way to do it is to load it dpwn with
a lot of foolish and impossible
amendments. In the past the appro
priations for roads in Alaska have
always come through the War depart
ment. and there (s no reason why
they should not continue to be made
through the same channel.”

HIS SENTENCE
Man Convicted of Crime at Katalla
Asserts His Innocence and Tells
Sad Story.
Rudolph Runneling, of Katalla, who
was convicted on the charge of lar
ceny from a dwelling, was sentenced
this afternoon by Judge Brown to
serve one year and one day in the
penitentiary. He was given the ex
tra day in order that he might avail
himself of the right of parole. Under
a comparatively new regulation pris
oners sentenced to more than one
year for first offenses may win parole
by good conduct after they nave
served a portion of their sentence.
The sentence, however, will be sus
pended until further notice in the
case of Runneling by order of Judge
Brown. Before pronouncing sentence
on the convicted man the judge ask
ed him if he had anything to say in
his own behalf. The accused remain
ed quiet until after sentence had
been pronounced and then made a
statement to the court, declaring his
innocence of the irime for which he
had been convicted. His statement,
as told in the court room, if true,
would indicate that he has been per
sued by a relentless fate which has
brought him from a position of af
fluence in the world to his present
unenviable one.
Runneling claims that prior to the |
San Francisco earthquake he was in ■
business there and was worth $47,- i
000. He lost all his fortune at that
time and was now in Alaska trying
to make a, living for his wife and
family. He denied having commit
ted the crime for which he was sen
tenced and said he had always tried
1o lead an honest life and would
sooner be sentenced to death than
given a sentence in the penitentiary, i
When he had finished his story the I
judge told him that he should have j
made his statement sooner, but fear
ing that an injustice might be done j
an innocent man he would order the j
sentence suspended until his case!
could be looked into and his inno
cence established if he had commit-!
ted no crime.
Gus Johnson, convicted of having
picked the pocket of another man at
Cordova, securing $60.00, was senten
ced to one year and one day in the
penitentiary.
The attorneys for Dan Reeder, ron
victed for assault with intent to do
bodily injury, filed a motion for a new
trial. The hearing on the motion was
set for ten o’clock tomorrow morn
ing. The defendant’s attorneys claim
that the judge made reversible er-;
rors in his Instructions to the jury.
Notice to Pioneers.
Tlie Pioneers of Alaska will meet'
tonight in their own hall. All local!
and visiting members are requested \
to be present, as business of import- '■
ance will come before the meeting.
E. G. AMES, Secretary.
William Damon, who arrived on the j

Pioneer barber shop. Mr. Damon !
comes to Valdez from the Coleman j
Baths and Tonsorial parlors in Se-t
attle, and is considered an expert
barber.
