(By United Press.)
WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.? Serious
charges have been preferred against
Judge Silas H. Reld of the third ju
dicial district of Alaska which may
result in his removal from office. The
charges were preferred to the de
partment of justice and were dis
cussed at a meeting of the president's
cabinet yesterday.
The charges allege that he ap
pointed his brother-in-law, Mr. Good |
win, as receiver for the Alaskan Cen- j
tral rallrgad at a salary of $1,.".00 a
month. This is said to be an exor
bitant salary. It is also charged that
he has been away from his district
for a long period, that litigation has
accumulated , and that he has failed
to attend sessions of court on the ap
pointed time.
It is highly probable that President
Roosevelt may remove Judge Reid.

FEDEAIL GRIIID JURT HAS

Recommends Establish

Asks For More Strict Li
quor Laws? Want Wit
ness and Jurors Fees In
creased?Twenty Secret
Indictments Returned.
(By United Press.)
JUNEAU, Jan. 9.? The federal
grand jury reported late Wednesday
afternoon and were discharged. The
jury Investigated forty-three cases
and returned thirty-four true bills.
No bills were returned in nine cases.
One hundred and forty witnesses were
examined.
The jury strongly recommended
that the source of the so-called In
dian whiskey be discovered and the
selling of It stopped. It also recom
mended that the selling of liquor to
an Indian be made a felony instead
of a misdemeanor. It urged a stricter
enforcement of the law In selling
liquor to inebriated persons and hab
itual drunkards.
An enlargement of the United
States commissioners districts at
Hoonah, Killlsnoo and Kake was re
commended. The establishment of a
mounted police force under the dlrec
I tlon of the federal govrenment, sim
ilar to the Canadian mounted police
was urged. The government was
also asked to detail some secret ser
vice men In Alaska to run down
frauds.
The government was also asked to
Increase the witness and Jurors fees
to the amount of the minimum dally
wage received by the Juror or wit
ness.
The Jury reported that an attempt
was really made to assassinate U. S.
Deputy Marshal Faulkner.
Twenty secret indictments were
returned. It Is believed that most of
them are against men who are living
off the earnings of fallen women.
No reference whatever is made to
the fact that certain Juneau saloon
keepers have been selling liquor to
minors. The Juneau Record scores
the Jury for Its failure to act In this
matter and Intimates the Jurors have
violated their oaths.
