Scandal Covers Congressmen
?
(Special Dispatch to Dally Alaskan) ^
Washington, May 28? The national i
capital is stirred by the most sensation- ?
a' scandil which has reached tho public ?
prints in many days. Editor Ferguson, !
of this city, who accompanied Speaker
Cannon's congressional investigation
committee which recently returned
from the Panama canal zone, has been
giving the details as to the immorality
which obtains in that region. Ho says
the canal /.one is covere:) with houses
of sin which range from the gilded
palaces maintained in expensive luxury
from the patronage of those of wealth
and large salaries to the lowest dives
which prey upon the wage of the
laborer. But that Is only a part of the
foundation for the scanual which is
causing Washington to shake. He]
says these Immoral resorts were visited
almost nightly by the congressional in
vestigating parties who got drunk in
them, as would common sailors, and
broke up the furniture and otherwise
conducted themselves in a disgraceful
manner.
MUNICIPAL AUIItORITILS
ASKED reft AIO
Governor andmarshal asked for troops only
after city council had called for assistance
they could not render according to recent
statements
The criticism of the powers in I
authority for causing the removal of
Jujge A. V. R. Snyder from office, be- '
cause his paper expressed its contempt
for tho conduct of Gov. Hoggatt and
criticised the employment of troops at
Treadwell because of the strike there., '
has ciused Jineau papers to publish;
some of the details which lead up to
the calling out of the military which 1
should have been published
long ayo. Heretofore the Juneau j
papers have said there was no troublo j
at Trendwell and that the striking mln- ;
ers, instead of being troublesome, had
volunteered to assist as patrolmen and
guards for the purpose of maintaining
order and protecting property. They
said the troops were called upon simply
as a precautionary measure.
It is now said that the Douglas city
council passed resolutions requesting
the United States marshal to police and
patrol the town, reciting that danger
was iminent and that the municipality
was unable to guarantee protection to
life and property. Marshal Sboup, so
say the papers, vbited the island and
soon came to the conclusion that he was
also powerless lo imintaiu order. In
the meantime Superintendent Kinde of
the Treadwell company had wiittento
aoting Gov. Distin, saying that he had
been informed by the city council of
Treadwell that it was unable to guaran
tee proteciion to the mining "properties
un 'er his control, aud asking for assis
tance
It is admitted, however, that no dis
turbances had taken place, and that no
threats had been made.
These nj-e the conditions recited for
the calling out of the military branch 1
of the government.
