hour and a half before It could b<
pried loose.
Others who returned on the Evam
say that It will not be possible to us<
the government dock at the mouth o
Ship creek any longer owing to tin
accumulation of ice in the creek, ant
that barges will be forced to dis

T i FILED
AGAINST GOV.
Dispatches received from Washing
ton confirmed statements that have
been made on tlie streets by Edward
I. Wade, who was a stenographer
and clerk in the Governor's office from
early in August until the 18th of the
present month, that he had filed
charges against Gov. J. F. A. Strong.
The Seattle Times’ correspondent,
according to the Seattle dispatches,
said in today’s Times: “Formal
charges were tiled against Gov. J. F.
A. Strong with President Woodrow
Wilson late yesterday afternoon. The
Alaskan executive is charged with re
taining a Republican in office, the
j said Republican being William W.
! Shorthill, the Governor's private sec
retary .
"The charges against the Governor
are written on stationary from the ex
ecutive office and are signed by Will
iam (Edward) I. Wade, who, it is pre
sumed at Washington, is a former
clerk in 'he Governor’s office. On
plain nap^r Wade Inlorma the Presi
dent that he has resigned in order to
be free to file charges against the
Governor. The charges against the
Governor aver that Shorthill manifests
'a partisanship of a particularly of
' fensive and radical type, and that his
incumbency of this important conl
detial and lucrative office is in defi
ance of democratic protests of the
most vigorous and trenchment charac
ter.’
“It is understood that the charges
j will be laid before Secretary Lane, of
I the Department of the Interior, to
day and that he will determine what
action will be taken.’’
After resigning his position in the
Governor's office, Mr. Wade stated
that it wras due to friction between
himself and Mr. Shorthill, and foi
several days he has been conducting
a more or less vociferous campaigr
against the Governor for retaining
Shorthill In his office. He has statec
that he had filed charges against th(
Governor for doing so, and allegec
that Shorthill is a bitter partisan Re
publican The incipent campaigi
against the Governor was not regard
ed seriously in Juneau.
When questioned regarding th<
charges Gov. Strong replied:
“I have nothing to say in regard t<
1 the matter as I consider the charge:
i too absolutely foolish to pay any at
I
tention to them. I shall make my an
swer to them. I shall make my an
swer to the Secretary of the Interior
if I am called upon to do so."
William W. Shorthill. in a state '
inent given to The Empire today, said,!
that he Is not a Republican and never '
I has been one; that he has voted only
' once for President, and that was for
William J. Bryan in 1896, and that he
has taken little part in politics in Al
aska except to vote.-—Juneau Empire.
