BOARD DECIDES
ELECTED
The canvassing board decided to
count all the returns from all the pre
cincts of Alaska, irrespective of nnv
irregularities that might be on the
face of the returns, and to give cer
tificates of election to those having
the highest number of votes, Gover
nor J. P. A. Strong and Surveyor-Gen
eral Charles E. Davidson voting for
that course of procedure and Collec
. tor of Customs John P. Pugh voting
against it.
It was decided, however, to post
pone the issuance of certificates of
election in order to give attorneys for
Senator Charles A. Sulzer and any
other candidates who might feel ag
grieved, time to apply to the courts
for relief.
The decision of the board, if it
stands, gives the election to James
Wickersham for delegate to congress
by a plurality of 31. It would also
give Philip Corrigan the election for
representative in the Second division.
| and Joseph Murray the election in the
Third division. Corrigan is a Demo
crat and Murray was a candidate on
j the Republican and Progressive De
mocratic tickets.
In arriving at Its decision the can
vassing board disregarded the opln
Ion or Attorney General George E.
Grigsby, who had held that the pre
cincts of Utica, In the Second divi
sion, Uhogglung and Nushakag In the
Third division and Bonnifleld In the
hourth should not be counted. These
precincts combined gave Wlckersham
51 votes and Sulzer 11. With them
omitted Sulzer would have 9 plurality.
When the canvassing board con
vened Secretary Davidson moved that
the board canvass and tabulate the
vote from Utica precinct. This was
done, although It was noted that the
returns were not on the official ballots
and that no certificate as to why the
official ballot was not used was re
turned.
Secretary Davidson then stated that
after a great deal of thought he had
arrived at the conclusion that the
board wns not a judicial body, hut
was an administrative one, and that
they were not there to decide ques
tions of law. Me moved that all votes
from all precincts returned be counted
and tabulated and that It be the sense
of the board that they Issue certlfl
cates to the candidates receiving the
greatest number of votes. The motion
I was seconded by Governor J. F. A.
strong and was carried, with J. F.
I’ugh, the third member of the board,
voting against it.
I'he board then adjourned until to
norrow, at which time the certlfl
cates will be issued, unless prevented
by action of the courts.
Governor Strong stated to the
| members of the board, members of the
! legislature present and also represen
tatives of the press, before putting
the motion, that the board, or the ma
j jortty of them, have acted as they see
| their duties fairly and squarely, wlth
j out any thought of party politics. In
! part, he said:
"I want to say that this canvassing
j board has been placed in a perplex
ing condition by reason of the fact
that it Is a partisan board. In speak
ing for myself and the majority of the
board, I will say that the question
of party politics has not entered into
llhe deliberations of the board in con
sidering the duties which have fallen
to us.
"We have been actuated solely by
a desire to perform our duties in ac
cordance with our oaths nnd the ex
pressed wishes of the people of Alas
ka at the election last November.
"I. and the majority of the board,
after due and careful consideration,
do not consider It our duties to enter
into the legal aspects of the vote as
cast at the last election. This is a
ministerial body and not a judicial
one. and If any representative of any
party 1h not satisfied with our action
they have recourse to the courts, and
have, In the question of election of
the delegate to congress, access to a
higher court, and the court of last
appeal, the house of representatives,
of the congress of the United States."
Speaking of his vote. Collector of
Customs Pugh said today that he fol
lowed the written decision of the at
torney general. He said that he re
gards the opinion as sound, and felt
that It was his duty to follow the legal
advisers on the questions of law.
The official vote for delegate to
congress, under the decision of the
majority of the canvassing board,
which will stand if not reversed by
the courts, Is as follows;
Sulxer Wick.
First Division.2395 1906

RELICS OF LOST STEAMER
YUCATAN HAVE BEEN FOUND.
Memories of the sinking of the
steamship Yucatan in Icy Straits, near
Hoonah, some years ago. were
revived the other day when Jack
Campbell on his boat Clopex, brought
to the city a fifty pound compass and
*■‘“““"1“ which he had procured from
natives at Hoonah. The compass Is
in excellent shape and in good work
ing order; the large hood or binnacle
is well preserved and there is not even
a crack in the glass. When found the
articles were burled under several feet
of earth, in the town of Hoonah. Also
with the compass and binacle were
three lights, n stern light, saloon light
and the light that drops down In the
' ~
top of the binnacle over the compass
It is believed the natives looted the
ship and burled the articles to keep
them from being discovered.—Valdez
Prospector.
