LESTOR MAY
BE DEPORTED
TO OUTSIDE
FAIRBANKS, Oct. (>, (By Mail).—
Charles Lestor, the man who started
the strike trouble at Xenana during
the summer and who was later con
victed of libeling the dug and sen
tenced to serve a year in jail, is to he
deported, according to K. L. Wells, a
United States inspector of immigra
tion who reached Fairbanks on the
steamer Tanana last night. Whether
or not Lestor will be taken Outside at
present remains undecided. He is now
serving hi.-* sentence, which was im
posed upon him in commissioner’s
court at Xenana.
Lestor, Mr. Wells states, came to
Alaska from Canada with the permis
sion of tlie officers of the bureau of
immigration and is therefore subject
to deportation. The orders regarding
his case are stated to have come di
rect from the bureau of immigration
at Washington.
NEW GOVERNMENT
IS SHAKING DOWN
THE t'Ol'RT Jt'STICES
ATHENS, Oct. 25.—The new gov
ernment, which succeeded that ot King
Constantine, has adopted a radical
measure toward the Supreme Court,
or Areopagos, on the charge ol hav
ing used its high judicial functions, toi
political ends in protecting the oili
cials of the late king, and permitting
the persecution of the Yenizelos ele*
ment. The chief Justice, Associate
Justice and live associate justices
have been summarily removed, and
some sixty judges of courts below the
supreme court are similarly displaced.
Such a sweeping overturn of the ju
diciary has never been known before.
The Minister of Justice has explain
ed to parliament that conditions were
such as to warrant the suspension of
the constitutional provision giving the
judiciary a fixed tenure of office. He
referred to the dismissal of the su
preme court and other judges as a
work of purification, and said it would
be continued until all those who had
taken a hand in politics were removed.
He cited a number of instances in
which the harsh treatment of the Veni
zelists last December resulted from
rulings by tht courts.
As a rule a man knows he is slip
ping long before he admits it.
