CAN ISSUE EXCHANGE
TO FOREIGN PORTS
Thomas S. Scott, cashier of the
First Bank of Cordova, announces that
exchange to foreign nations can now
be issued to those desiring the same.
This applies to those territories oc
cupied by the allied forces to which
exchange was prohibited during the
war period and also includes northern
France and Belgium and Hungary but
not Austria-Hungary.
The same restrictions governing the
declaration of the sender of exchange
as for what purpose it is bent must ac
company the exchange note as for
merly.
During the war the sending of
money to enemy countries and terri
tory adjacent to those countries—such
as northern France and Belgium—was
prohibited and only allowable to allied
countries for such purposes as were
deemed necessary. This was done to
prevent the sending of money to aid
the enemy in the war. While the de
claration as to what use the money is
sent for is still required, the new order,
will permit those who have relatives
living within the former forbidden ter
ritory and who were accustomed to
send money home to do so now.

DEATH CLAIMS
JAS. MXORMAC
IN’FRISCO
The many Cordova friends of
James D. MacCormac were both
shocked and grieved to learn of his
ieath in San Francisco yesterday, in
a cablegram received by H. I. O’Neill.
Mr. MacCormac had been in poor
health for some time, suffering I”om
cancer of the stomach. About a year
ago he went to Mayo Brothers's Insti
tute, where he was operated on and
although improved in health when he
returned he was far from being a well
man. Several weeks ago he and his
family left here for California, believ
ing that the change would prove bene
ficial.
Deceased was obout 40 years of age
and leaves a wife and two young sons,
Kenneth and Donald, who have the
sympathy of all of our people in their
sad breavement. A brother in San
Francisco also survives him.
Mr. MacCormac was one of the best
known and most generally liked men
In this part of Alaska. He was a man
bf many sterling qualifies and every
body’s friend. He came to Alaska
more than twenty years ago with the
Alaska Packers Association and was
n charge of their store department up
intil the time Cordova was started,
vhen he and Captain Storey engaged
n the mercantile business. Later the
MacCormac hotel was built and named
ifter him, which he conducted for a
time. He was a member of the gro
cery firms of Kinney & MacCormac
tnd the Slater, O’Neill Co. When the
atter concern was consolidated with
he S. Blum & Co. store, under the
irm of Blum, O'Neill Company Mr.
MacCormac became and was up to
the time of his death a stockholder in
the latter business.
The funeral will take place at 8an
Francisco and out of respect to his
memory the Blum, O’Neill Company
store will be closed all day tomorrow.

WICK’S BLUFF
IS CALLED IN
FAIRBANKS
In the district court at Fairbanks
Judge Charles E. Bunnell handed
down an opinion denying the petition
of James Wickersham, through his at
torney, Morton E. Stevens, for the is
suance of subpoenas for four members
of the signal corps detachment at
Fairbanks to appear and testify re
garding their alleged voting in the
general election last November. Those
for whom subpoenas were requested
are John E. Pegues, Durwood M.
Hockr, Elmer D. Whittle and Herman
B. Stenbuck.
Members of the legal fraternity are
apparently puzzled over the filing of
such a petition by Mr. Wickersham.
It is not understood in what manner
testimony such as was desired bv the
petitioner could have any bearing on
a contest which might be tiled before
the house of representatives, as ex
parte proceedings have not been rec
ognized by the house in contested el
ection cases.
In the opinion of Fairbanks Demo
cratic leaders, it is another case of
bluff. They declare that he must have
known that he was overstepping his
rights when he attempted to forqp a
hearing when it could not be shown
that he has filed a contest, or that he
intends to do so. Neither Attorney
Stevens nor Wickersham’s local rep
resentative Henry T. Ray could or
did produce any official or unofficial
notice that a contest had been filed.
