(By Alaska News Bureau.)
WASHINGTON. D. C. Mar. 2C? Del
flute Wlckersham uml \V. B. Hoggatt
renewed hostilities yesterday before
the House committee on territories.
Delegate Wlckersham asked Mr.
Hoggatt many questions, the trend of
which showed that Hoggatt was ex
ceedingly friendly with the Guggen
heim interests. The dialog was spir
ited and finally Wlckersham asked:
"Did you vote for Corson at the
last election?"
"1 did." replied Hoggatt, "for 1
wanted to get someone at Washing
ton who would stop this bushwhack
ing."
Pressed by questions. Iloggatt ad
mltted that he was trying to secure
the removal from office of U. S. At
torney Boyce of the h'irst division
of Alaska.
"Because he is prosecuting s<?Hi('
of your friends?" querrled Wicker
sham.
"Maybe that has nothing to do
with it." rejoined Hoggatt.
The Delegate then asked Hoggatt
if he was not aware of the grand
Jury packing that was going on while
he was in office and accused him
of trying to secure a pardon for Ed
ward Hasey, who was sentenced to
the -federal penitentiary for shooting
a man while employed by the Gugger
heims in defending a railroad right
of way in Keystone canyon. Wicker
yham also told the committee that
Hasey was drawing $."> a day from tho
j Guggenheims during tho time ho
served in prison.
Hoggatt said he had nothing u> do
with any of those matters.
Wickersham then read an editorial
from the Juneau Record which at
tacked the Taft cabinet and also an
other editorial in which the Delegate
was referred to as a "renegade and
a discredited representative."
"Don't you and the Treadwell In
terests own this paper?" demanded
Wickersham.
Iloggatt replied that lie owned part
of the stock of the paper and his
friends the rest.
"How mucli <lo you own?" asked
u , -kereham.
Mosaic replied that it was none
of Wlckersham's business how much
of the paper he owned and said that
it was ridiculous to suppose that he
eonrtolled the editorial policy of the
paper when he was 10,000 miles away*
he was 10,000 miles away.
Wickersham then charged Hoggatt
with personally paying the editor of
the paper and said that he also sent
him dally telegrams posting him on
the policy to be employed.
Iloggatt asserted that this state
ment was not true.
The committee then adjourned and
Wickersham in closing promised to
show up Hoggatt's political activities
and the interests behind him at the
meeting! to be held the second, week
in April.
