HAZELTINE NOT
OUT OF SERVICE
The Gateway today received a let
ter from Mr. F. A. Hazeltine, Divi
sional Chief. General Prohibition
Agents, located at Seattle, stating that
the report tha the had been removed
from his position was erroneous. The
report came through "press” from Se
attle to all Alaskan papers, and was
accepted as genuine. The letter fol
lows:
"The published report that F. A.
Hazeltine, Divisional Chief, General
Prohibition Agents, located at Seattle,
Washington, and who visited Alaska
last summer, has been removed from
his position ‘For the good of the ser
vice,’ has absolutely no foundation,
j in fact to the contrary, Mr. Hazeltine
j has the distinction of having been
the second General Agent appointed
by Mr. Haynes when Haynes first
took office, and has always enjoyed
the confidence of Mr. Haynes, When
Commissioner Haynes’ attention was
called to the report he issued a most j
emphatic denial and stated that he
had nQ intention of transferring Mr.
Hazeltine from his present position
to that of any other, and that noth
ing was farther from his thoughts
than his removal.”
! Effort Be Made To
Repeal Bone Dry Law
An effort will be made at the com
ing session of the Legislature to bring
about a referendum to secure the re
peal of the Alaska Bone Dry law, due
i to its conflicting with the Volstead
Act, which causes a confusion of or
ders and the working of both laws.
It is said that many attorneys fav
or the repeal of the dry law, desir
ing to work exclusively under the
Volstead Act. The Alaska Dry Law
was primarily a war time measure,
and antedates the Volstead Act sev
eral years.
An attempt was made at the last
: legislature to repeal the law, but thru
a mistaken idea that it meant repeal
| of all prohibition laws, the effort was
■ killed by prohibition advocates.
In case the law is repealed the Ter
I ritorial courts would be in a beTter
| working condition.
