WASHINGTON, D. Cm August 17?
The departmeut ha* made public the
famous letter from Delegate Wtcker
sham addressed to SpwW Agent Mc
Narnara. who uiade an investigation
iR Alaska, a year ago. The letter is
a bitter arraignment of administrate
policy. and reads as follows:
Stuart McNamam. Esq.. Depart
ment of Justice, Washington. D. C.
"My Dear Sir: When you did me
Ike honor to c*ll the other day and
*ay that you were going to Alaska to
in> estigate conditions there as the re
resentatlve of the Department of Jus
tice. 1 made some criticisms upon
the department which you wished me
to put in writing.
I expressly said to you that I
made no criticism of the motive of
any Attorney General who has ever
been connected with the De
partment of Justice in Washing
ton; that I believed the head of that
department lias always acted from a
high sense ot duty, but that the dif
ficulty arose from a want of infor
mation and incompetency in the de
partment to manage affairs in Alas
ka. I told you that the first justice
of the district court in Alaska, Judge
McAllister was removed within IS
months of his appointment for politi
cal reasons, and you will discover the
facts in relation thereto in the case
of McAllister v. United States (141
T. S.. 174.) The next judge, bis suc
cessor. absconded from Alaska, with
in six months of his appointment,
just ahead of a warrant for his ar
rest for embexxlement. and he has
been a fugitive from Justice ever
"This course of dealing with the
judgeships in Alaska has continued
to date, for no judge in Alaska, ex
cept Judge Moore, was ever Teap
pointed and confirmed. Incompetent
men have been appointed judges only
to be removed within a year. and. if
competent, they have frequently been
removed without notice because of
the honest performance of their
duties. I do not know of but one
marshal who ever served out his
term of office: Marshal Shoup and
Marshal Perry both served out a
first term, but the one resigned be
fore he served out his second term,
because he knew he would not be
supported by the department, and the
other was peremptorily removed.
This rotating system ot carpet-bag
ging officials In Alaska has all come
from the incompetency of the Depart
nien of Justice. I said to you the
other day that it an official dared to
procure the Indictment of a rich man
in Alaska, that man might send his
attorney to Washington and procure
the removal of the official who was
doing his duty fearlessly. As an ex
ample. Mr Grigsby, the district at
torney at Nome, was requested to re
sign some time ago because ho had
procured the Indictment of Jafet
Undeberg. at Nome, for perjury.
l,indet>erg sent hia attorney, Mr. Fink,
to Washington, who secured a demand
for Grigsby's removal, which was
later withdrawn upon a showing
made by Gri&by. Judge Moore was
included in the complaints made by
Fink at Washington, and the good
record that he has built up and main
tained in eight years' hard and in
industrious work for the Government
on that frontier was destroyed be
cause It was known he would do
his duty with respect to prosecuting
this wealthy perjurer.
"A# another example, Sutherland
and Boyce. respectively marshal and
district attorney at Juneau, were re
cently removed without any notice
or opportunity to be heard for hav
ing dared, the one to sign his name
to indictments voluntarily found by
the grand jury, and the other because
he would not corruptly pack a trial
jury with the friends of the defend
ant at the request of the attorney
who came to Washington and secur
ed his removal. 1 said to you the
other day that the Department of Jus
tice has become a menace to the
people of Alaska, and that It was a
hopeless failure 6y reason of Its ina
bility to shield the people from dis
honest officials on the one hand and
to support and protect an honest offi
cial in the discharge of his duty
on the other. An honest official in
the discharge of his duty in Alaska
is attacked by hired lobbyists in
Washington. These smooth gentle
men go to the department ot Justice
