JUNEAU POLICE CHIEF IS
PREPARING FOR YEGCMEN
In anticipation of an influx of
criminals to Alaska, due to the
drive to rid Outside cities of the
thug element. Chief of Police Kee
gan, of Juneau, is taking steps to
secure the cooperation of the feder
al authorities in Alaska and at the
points of debarkation, to have every
! man coming into Alaska, inspected
with a view to ascertaining their
antecedents, and if not able to pre
vent them from coming ' , to have
each one accompanied by a complete
record of character, provided he
has a criminal record.
The matter has been taken up by
every city in Alaska, says the Jun
eau Daily Capital, with the idea of
being able to keep tab on every
vicious character coming into the
country. “Such crimes as that of
Monday night,’’ points out the Cap
ital, “when a crew of alleged pirates
arrived in Juneau after having, it
is alleged, beaten up and robbed
the owner of a gasbo&t and escaped
from Petersburg, has awakened the
authorities to the necessity of being
prepared to cope with a possible
flooding of the territory with des
perate characters.’’
The paper says further that it is
understood that citizens represent
ative of the old-time Alaskan tradi
tions are ready to organize com
mittees to aid the officials. The idea
is to be prepared to back up the
police authorities in an effort to
check crime.
It is urged as a further precau
tion that high-powered sea-going
I patrol boats be stationed at the
| various coast towns, to be available
| at all times to run down such cases
I as the alleged Petersburg case.

i How far must one run to be a
I “fugitive from justice, with em
! phasis on the “from”, asks George
B. Waters, in a Washington, D. C.
letter to a Seattle paper. Continu
• 1
mg, he says:
Captain Charles J. Morgan, Camp
Grant, 111., civil engineer and world
:
war hero, went all the way to the
white land of Alaska. In that region i
of polar bears and caribou, Morgan
betook himself to Broad Pass, 125 i
miles south of Fairbanks
He was in one of the most se
cluded spots in the Western hemis-!
phere, working as a rock and tur. - j
nel expert on the Government rail-■
road. He lived with his pal in a log
j cabin; their only recreation was
smoking their pipes and hunting.;
They seldom saw people, except;
other workmen on the railroad.
Captain Morgan might still be
leading that romantic, but rather
quiet life, in the frozen region, only
for the fact that in days gone by j
he had seen more exciting life—;
that is, more bright lights and more
complex civilization. Back in Sep- ■
tcmber, 1919, Captain Morgan, it'
was alleged on an indictment that
had accumulated dust at the national j
capital, had cashed a check at the:
Riggs National bank f' . $450 and, I
when the check was sent to a:
Rockford, ILL, bank, on which it!
was drawn, there was ns money to !
pay it. Walter E. Howe, an assist-1
ant federal attorney, had endorsed;
it for Morgan.
But who would ever find Captain :
Morgan in his secluded Alaskan!
abode? To give this tale the proper |
color of romance, there should be!
a woman in it, but up at Broad
Pass there were no women. It was
a place where women never pen- i
etrated and men seldom.
i
But one day there came along a :
stranger, riding a sled and driving a !
i few dogs. He wasn’t looking for
j anybody in particular, but always
i had his eyes peeled for everybody;
in general. He knew nothing about
the dust-covered indictment in D.
C. , and he didn’t know Morgan, j
His name was Roy Darling, and he j
was an agent of the department of .
iustice.
He had a broad acquaintance
with the pictures and characters that
make up the population of the
rogues’ gallery, just as a boy knows
the faces in story books. In that
gallery had appeared a kodak
picture—one that a friend just hap
pened to take of Captain Morgan
while they were on a boat going
overseas. It was a small picture
and gave a dim outline of a man
in uniform. Burt the keen eye of
Darling glanced at the ruddy en
gineer and his mind flashed bacK
to that kodak picture.
“Who is that tall young fellow
with brown eyes?” Darling asked
one of the superintendents.
“That’s Captain Morgan, one of
best civil engineers, and I want you
to meet him,” Darling was told.
Darling drew a notebook from hi3
pocket and glanced at the “fugi
tive” list.
“Yes, I want to mee-t him,” he *
replied. They were introduced and
Darling expressed regret at having
to arrest him. That was August *. 1
Now, Morgan, 35, a fine-appearing
professional man of ability, and •
with an excellent military record •
overseas, is housed in the district ;
jail, awaiting trial. ! ■
W'hen is a man out of sight of ]
the eagle eye of secret service men? [
| “Not in Alaska,” declared United J
| States Marshall Louis T. Erwin,' j
Fairbanks, Alaska, who brought
Captain Morgan the 5,000 miles to 4
•the national capital for trial.
“When fugitives come to Alaska, ■ \
they fall right into the arms of j
justice. We have never had a man j
escape from there yet when we
