SAINT WILFORD. THE SAVIOR OF
ALASKA. THE MODERN ST. PAT
RICK OF THE NORTH.
Not only was Gov. W. B. Hoggatt
directly responsible for the work of
the Agricultural Experimental stn '
t ion's In Alaska? according to his ]
own statements before the Senate !
Committee on Territories, this state
ment. however, beln;; amply refuted
by cold facts? but our late lamented
executive also purged the Northland
of sin and redeemed us from a dire
condition of crime and iniquity this,
too. according to his own statements,
which once more are in variance with
the facts.
Hoggatt would have the members of
Congress believe Alaska was control
led absolutely by the gamblers and
black legs, but that he, arising In his
saintly virtue and wrapt in the robe
of righteousness, like a modern St.
Patrick drove these scourges from ou
shores.
We will quote Hoggatfs statements
made before the committee, verbatim
?and we will state the facts in the
case which are a matter of record and
can easily be verified. In the light of
the truth Hoggatfs calumnies simply
amount to a wholesale slander of the
people of Alaska and that our ex-ex
eculive Is willing to stoop to these
low methods to gain his own ends
speaks but poorly for his principles.
The committee proceedings follow:
"Senator Clark. One of the ways
we have of finding out the conditions
there. Governor, is to develop the dif
ferences between you and those who
dc not agree with you. You say you
have suppressed gambling in Alaska?
Mr. Hoggatt. Yes.
Senator Clark. How- did you do
that? What authority did you have
iu connection with the subject that
enabled you to do It?
Mr. Hoggatt. I got It through the
Department of Justice.
Senator Clark. What did you get
through the Department of Justice
Mr. Hoggatt. I told the President
1 wanted to stop gambling, and asked
him it he would back me? He said
he would. I went to the Department
of Justice and asked the Attorney
General to direct the Marshals to
seize the gambling paraphernalia, and
to tell the District Attorneys to be in
no hurry to try the cases. He sug
gested that they had made futile ef
forts to close gambling for a good
many years, and had tried unsuccess
fully to convict the gamblers: and the
District Attorneys wrote that it was
Impossible to do so. I suggested that
1 did not want to convict anybody:
that I wanted to stop it. and 1 did no
think that they could gamble if they
had no paraphernalia.
Senator Clark. Why were the
prosecutions unsuccessful .
Mr. Hoggatt On account of the lo
cal sentiment. The towns were con
trolled absolutely by the gambling el
ement.
Senator Clark. What about the ju
ries and the courts? Do you mean
that the courts would not instruct as
to the law. or that the Juries would
not find the facts?
Mr. Hoggatt. The Juries would not
find the facts.
Senator Clark. That is the kind
of population you have there, is it?
Mr. Hoggatt. Yes.
Senator Clark. Judge Wickersham
opposes that policy of yours, does he?
Is that the situation?
Mr. Hoggatt. No: he is in line
with it now. He always had opposed
it until we put the lash to him. and
he was afraid. He had to give In.
and he did.
Mr. Hoggatt . . . . 1 got Congroi. to
| pass a new license law. about a year
! ago. which fixed tho responsibility
of onforcing the new law upon
i tho Marshal and tho District
Attorney. Up to that time the offic
ials hud been dodging It. Kach one
cot be tug specially charged with any
particular duty In the line of enforce
iug it, had attempted and hud succeed
ed in shoving the responsibility on to
one of tho other officers. A license
act fixed the responsibility, and also
put It In "he power of the court to
take away the license if the man who
applied for it and secured it violated
the conditions under which the license
was issued.
Senator Clark. Did I understand
you to say that you passed a new
license law?
Mr. Hoggatt. No; I said I secured
Its passage; I got Congress to pass j
a new license law.
Senator Clark . That Is what you
mean .
Mr Hoggatt. . Yew.
Senator Clark I think that Is about
all I have to ask."
The records of the courts of till ;
division will not show where any ga??
biers were acquitted, but, on the con
trary, they will show that the Graml
Jury at Juneau in 1903 indicted ull
the gamblers In the division, and thai
the gamblers pleaded guilty and were
fined; another Grand Jury in 1!?04 in
