10 INVESTIGATE CORDOVA VOTE
James J. Crowley, the recently ap
pointed dls.rict attorney for the Third
judicial district arrived out last night
and will jjoon liis way to Valdez to at
tend the se-sion of e urt to convene
there on the I'.'th.
Mr. Crowley went through here since
months ago on his way to Fairbanks
whore a se sionof court hud l>een called
but which lapsed on account of the ab
sence of Judge Re; J <1 ill also another,
since. .Mr. Crowley arrived at Fair
banks from his .iome in Iowa without
so uiuch as getting his name in the paper
and >o acquired a wi le fame as the
man who knew bow to evade the inter
viewer. Mr. Crowley sajs he will
m.ikj a thorough ii.tjuiry into the
ma'. tor of the alleged illegal voting at
Cordova H says that Assistant Pis
trict Attorney Ray, of Seward, advised
hitu at Fairbanks that there was fear
of fraud to be done at the election
at that place and that he ordered Kay
to go at once to Cordova and take what
precautions ho could against it. Ray
delayed going until Monday, the day be
fore the election. The engines went
wrong on the trip? whether from dt>
sign on the part of the engineer or
otherwise is uncertain - and Mr. Ray
did not arrive at Cordova until 2 o'clock
in the afternoon. At that time SCO
votes had been cast. Mr. Crowley says
he is not certain as to the whereabouts
of Judge Reid but supposes he is on his
way to Valdez. There are a number of
very important cases to come before the
t$rm of court, among them three uiur
'dercas s and the 85 Japanese arrested
! for unlawful sealing.

Hut alv> it doc< a >t tike a lon? ;
acquaintance with him 10 see that he
means "yes" when he says it and no
when he says "no." He says he is well
pleased with his experience thus far in
Alaska? th 't be iikesrhe free and frank
character of the people. In Fairbanks
they had been having so-oallod boxing
contests regularly twice a week. There
is a plain law in the books forbidding
it. Ho advised the marshal that he had
better tell the boys to cut it out. "The
boy?" came to plead with hiui to close
his eyes to the business as had been
done before. "But you have been run
ning this business Into the ground,"
said Mr. Crowley, "and should I be
called upon by the attorney general to
explain what could I say?" he asked.
They agreed that there were two sldis
