the standpoint of transportation as
that which aeroplanes has furnished
In tho last two years. They saw a
car forty feet long, ten feet wide
and thirteen feet high, weighing 22
tons, mounted on a single rail, run

and carrying forty passengers with
safety as complete as, and vibration

speed of 25 miles an hour, with 80

VALDEZ GRAND JURY URGES
All INVESTIGATION OF REID
VALDEZ. Nov. 5 ? The investiga
tion of the Grand Jury, ordered by
the attorney general, Into the charg
es made against ex-Judge Silas H.
Reid, of the Third judicial division,
of malfeasance In office, has been
completed and the report submitted
to the court.
The charges are referred to in the
report as follows:
"We, the grand Jury of the Third
judicial division of Alaska, before fin
ishing our labors had brought to our
attention numerous charges in con
nection with the administration of ex
Judge Silas H. Reid and his staff of
assistants, recently removed from of
fice.
"The above-mentioned charges were
thoroughly and exhaustively investi
gated by us, and as a result of said
investigation we respectfully report
that there is not sufficient evidence ob
talnable at this place to warrant thel
return of any Indlctmnets; there is
however, good ground to believe that:
the grossest corruption, conspiracy,
misfeasance and malfeasance In office
have been practiced in the adminlstra
tion of the district court at Fairbanks
Alaska, prior to the removal of Judge
Silas H. Reid, and that evidence of
the same can be obtained at Fair
banks, Alaska.
"Believing- the dignity of the United
States demands-a thorough Investiga
tion of the administration of Judge
Reid, and realizing that It is impos
sible to thoroughly Investigate these
matters at Valdez, Alaska, we respect
fully recommend that -either a special
grand jury be. empaneled in Fairbanks
in the Fourth judicial division of Al
aska, or that this matter be referred
to the next regular grand Jury em
paneled in. said division, and that the
district attorney of the Fourth Judi
cial division, of Alaska be instructed
to diligently inquire into all matters
pertaining to the corruption, conspir
acy, misfeasance and malfeasance
charged publicly and privately against
Judge Reid and his associates during
their incumbency In office."
