WICK ATTEMPTS
TO INTIMIDATE
SOLDI! BOYS
James Wickersham, former delegate
to congress, was In town for a few
hours yesterday on his way to Juneau.
He spent last week at Valdez, work
ing up evidence for his coming elec
tion contest. He will attempt to gain
a seat in the house of representatives
on the ground that a man wearing the
uniform of Uncle Sam has no right to
vote while in the nation’s territorial
possessions, notwithstanding the fact
that most of the boys in khaki are
Alaskans.
Bach of the soldiers in the Valdez
cable office received a letter from
Mr. Wickersham which is self-ex
planatory, and follows, together with
the affidavit the victim is supposed
to sign:
“My Dear Sir: Herewith I inclose
a blank for an affidavit which you are
requested to sign and verify before
Arthur Lang, clerk of the United
States district court, whose office is
in the court house, next door to the
cable office, where your headquarters
are. If the affidavit does not correctly
designate the candidate for whom you
voted at the general election on Nov.
5, 1918, have it corrected by Mr. Lang
by the insertion of the correct name.
I will pay the fee charged by the clerk
for the verification.
"My purpose in asking you to sign
and verify this affidavit has been
fully and officially explained to Col.
Lenoir, your commanding officer at
Seattle, and to Captain Faust, and a
copy of my telegram of explanation
to Colonel Lenoir, dated April 21, 1919,
and his answer thereto, dated April
22, 1919 are herewith inclosed.
"1 shall call and interview you per
sonally, as suggested by Colonel Le
noir's telegram, and request you to
kindly act promptly in the matter,
for I am limited by the United States
Jaws and the infrequent steamer serv
ice and wish to get your final action
as soon as possible. Respectfully,
“JAMES WICKERSHAM.”
The Affidavit
“Territory of Alaska, Precinct of I
. . SS. !
“.. being first duly
sworn, deposes and says:
“That he is a soldier in the regular
army of the United States and is now
stationed at . Alaska;
that he enlisted in the said United
States army at ., in
the state of. on the
.day of., 191.,
that at no time prior to his enlist
ment as aforesaid was he a resident
within the territory of Alaska; and
that after his enlistment within the
regular army he came to Alaska as a
soldier in such army, and that his
stay in the territory of Alaska has
been as a soldier in the army as afore
said; that he was stationed in Alaska
as such soldier on the 5th day of
November, 1918, at.*.
Alaska; that he was advised he could
vote at the general election held on
that day for a candidate for delegate
to congress from Alaska, and that
acting upon such advice he did so
cast his vote on that day at said
general election and voted for Charles
A. Sulzer as such candidate for dele
gate to congress at the regular poll

precinct, Alaska.

The soldiers receiving the request
for affidavits paid little attention to
summons through Notary Public I.

last election. The summons are re

Transatlantic Airplane Service Sure to Be
Established Very Soon
Bjr COL. WILLIAM A. BISHOP. Ac* of Acm
The crossing of the Atlantic by airplane is a mat
ter of only a few months, I believe, and thereafter will
become a regular thing. One or two years and then
will arise tremendous development in standardizing
aerial transportation and passenger traffic. England
is eager for the honor of producing the first machine
and tha first aeronaut who makes the flight. She feels
keenly that America should not be allowed to win this
prize as she has won laurels in the matter of yacht
racing and other sports. Her rivalry is friendly but
quite determined, and America had better look to her
*^RN«wspap«r Uni©*
self. I’m betting on the old country, i m hoping to make such a flight
myself. Would be rather jolly to 4o it in a small machine, wouldn’t it?
John Burroughs—your famous naturalist, you know—says he wants to
come along with me, and perhaps l may take him. Would be sort of
cementing the relationship of the two countries, you understand, although
I don’t think England and America need any.
, It seems to me that England has quite a chance to win the honor of
the first transatlantic flight. When?I left that country a few months
ago there were at least five large concerns working on a machine that will
make the flight in all safety, and it ift whispered that three other organi
zations are building gigantic planes, larger than any ever designed before,
which will be able to carry several passengers. So sure are the English
men df being able to fly straight across the ocean that they are not even
building their planes on the seagoing models. They rest assured they will
never have to touch water. The English are either building or are about
to build a vast airdrome at St. John's, N. B. Somehow the Englishmen
don’t seem to care about flying from England to America. They want to
fly from America to England. Their reasons are sentimental, I suppose—
want to land at home, under the old Union Jack, and all that sort of thing.
The thing is quite simple when all is said. Any small machine
equipped with either of two powerful makes of American motors could
do the trick, and the only reason I am not attempting the feat just now
is because I’m under contract to do something else.

THROUGH our Family Laundry
Service we will take your entire
washing out of the home and return
it spotlessly clean. The flat pieces,
such as bed and table linen, towels, hand- |
kerchiefs and the like, are immaculately
ironed. The others are starched so that
you can finish them at your leisure.
Then, too, you have the satisfaction of
knowing that your clothes are laundered
far better than you could do them.
The softest of water, the purest of soap,
| gentle sousing instead of violent rubbing,
and numerous rinsings, all make for
| clothes that are whiter and cleaner than
| could possibly result from home methods,
fj And the expert finish, smooth and velvety,
will appeal to you.
I Let Us Relieve You 11

of all your wash-day troubles. Spend time |
| more profitably. Just bundle your clothes |
I and our man will call for and return them |
| at a definite time each week. The cost
| of this service is so low that home washing |
I is no longer justified.
