* Delegate James Wickershani ap
' peared before a largo ~nd enthusias
tic audience or bath .oJtes last nlgh*
at the Elks' hall at 8: So o'clock.
He was introduced by George W.
Dedmau lu a few well chosen sen
tences and from (he start to the
> finish of his very able and masterly
elucidation of his motives and ac
tions at Washington City as a rep
resentative of the people of
Alaska held the rapt at
I tention of all for the two
I hours of its continuance. For that
jltingth of time, excrA,j tor frequent
| burst8 of applause Ueu some ex
tra pertinent remark v\is made, the
i silence and at; m;.c ere absolute
J and a I the a ere were Vte ar
j rir^is who jiippta . o their seats
•>vith as ittle noise us possible, it
: ."ag not: caj'j hat none who en
| tered left tao Iiau u. . Judge
: \S lckereham's remarks a 2 come to
! a conclusion.
It would have given us extreme
j satisfaction today to have publish
| ed Mr. Wickershum's addrc s in
full, but its length forb'-,-.> ho we
will content ouseives with a simple
'synopsis. He said;
"It aas boon try honor for sev
eral yecrs now to represent both the
coasts Li Alaska a- the Interior
country, r.r 1 a majority of the peo
ple of tiie territory have given me
tnelr hearty support. Even the
j straight-up-and-down, dyed-in-the
wool democrats were Rt one time In
I full accord with me and heartily ap
proved all that I did for tb« ad
vancement and development of tlrb
i territory prior to the inauguration
j of Wood row Wilson as president of
i 'he United States, and now, for
, sooth, because there ts a ret of fed
j 'fral office holders in the capital
j at Juneau, who may have their
I plana disarranged by my return as
delegate, they are opposed to me
I and are mak^.r unjust and un
ir.ie critii'sms about me and my
work in W sblrgton City
I "One of their conlentlons is that,
as 1 am not a democrat I am not in
j acx>ri v, the 'dministration and
v.i'i 1 ; unable to ^e.'ure needed leg
islation au 1 a ro;rl: tlors, nnd this
jln tho fac > o, -he :'ict that prrcti
caJly all tje measures that I have
!be<>u tntsrumental in having had
passed, notably the Alaska rail
road measure, were approved by
democratic committees, passed by
democratic houses of congress, and
finally approved and signed by a
democratic president.
| "I think it is well to answer
i some of the criticisms that are be
, iug made, so that you will konw
I whether or not I air. performing my
duties as your representative in
j Washington City with devotion, to
| your satisfaction and to your in
terests; whether or not I am doing
the things that tend to good gov
ernment of this territory."
Mr. Wickeraham then told of his
fight with the committee over the
introduction of the notorious Bev
oridtre bill, and how. through his
efforts, when It came up for discus
sion and paast.ge It wu overwhelm
ingly defeated, notwithstanding,
that there was a strong lobby, with
1 rallltons of money at Its command,
doing all In Its power to puah it
through with the assistance of the
chief executlT*
Continuing Mr. Wlckarshom said;
"I say this much to you, because it
has been said about me that I am
forceful, and that I fight and that
I am not lady-like In my behaylor.
If you send a man to congress who
is not willing to go ahead and make
a fight for you, your Interests will
not be well cared for. There is al
ways a fiah lobby, or railroad lobby
or some other lobby, and If they
can anly Just get rid of your dele
gate to congress by starting a lit
tle row It will always start."
In referring to the miners' lien
law, the home rale bill, the railroad
bill, the mine inspection law and
the coal leasing measure, Mr. Wick
ersham said that he had been able
to get things through for this ter
ritory that he did not think possible
when he started.
"There are some gentlemen In
Juneau," he said, "who hare form
ad a little federal office holding
brigade who are against me.
"I am being criticised by one of
Its nuwspspers. My friend John W.
Troy is writing editorials roasting
me. He has been criticising me for
weeks because I have not secured
full territoMal government for Al
aska. He does not know what
full territorial government is.—
Some gentleman in Juneau wrote to
a member of i-hs cabinet that they
were in Cavor of a full territorial
government in Alaska, and got the
president to put those words In his
message, and this ws« the on®
false note In the message. I have
been In favor of a full territorial
government for years, and more
lha>j that we have It" He said that
a full territorial government con
sisted of a Governor appointed hy
t ne president, a syetem of courts,
the judge* of which are appointed
by the president and a legislative
body elected by the people. Just as
we have It here.
"We have a full territorial gov
ernment here, but they talk glitter
ing generalities because they say
that the territorial legislative bill
i1o«b not provide for a full territor
ial government.
"The men who are doing this are
prominent In Alaska. The gentle
men who are carrying on this propo
sauda are federal officials; they do
not realise that they are servants;
that they should go way back and
keep their mouths shut while their
masters are running Ibo government
"Here la a letter from one of
them," he said, reading an extract
from a letter purporting to have
been written by Judge Jennings la
connection with the bill providing for
an elective legUlatu.-e for Alaska
which he had introduced. Judge
Jennings had had an opportunity to

Juneau, Oct 2—The coroner*
f Jury on Tuesday returned a verdlc
that R. D. Baker ca©e to hl« dsetl

from a 30-30 In the hands of Alia

ed on the verdict of the jury au<^
•he la now being held pending the
action of the next grand Jury. She
was liberated only a few day* age
on a suspended sentence for selling
liquor to Indiana.
Alice Cox killed R. D. ("Red")
Baker at #>e Weydllch ranch lMt
Saturday. She made tho statement
herself at the coroner's Inquest this
mornlag. "I didn't want to leave
him a cripple,'' she said, "and
thought I might as well finish It
up," She was warned that any
statement that she would make
might be "sod against her, and re
plied that she wanted to tell the
truth. Her story In substance is
as follows;
When they reached the Weydllch
ranch Baker hurried In the house
and got a rifle saying that he would
shoof. her and the boy. She grap
pled with him oyer the 8un and
finally got It away from him and he
ran away. She placed the gun out
side the door. Baker came back
and commenced to choke her. She
broke away and Baker left again,
starting for the boat. She said
that she thought this was her
chance to protect herself and tiki®?
The gun she shot him. He did not
fall until she had shot three or four
times. She said that Baker had
said that he would kUl both h«™«lf
and the Weyllch boy.
Baker, Bill Cox, young Geo. Wey
dllch and Alice Cos left Jur.eau In
the Weydllch launch last Saturday
for the WeydllcU ranch at Auk bay.
They had some groceries and sup
piles along Including a bottle of
walskey. They finished the whis
key before reaching the Bill Cox
place, all of them excepting the boy
drinking from the bottle. Arriving
at the Cox plaae. Bill Ox got off
and the other three continued to
the Wedllch ranch.
Baker tried to force her and the
boy into a small boat that was near
ly filled with water to row ashore,
wanting to anchor the launch. She
insisted on the launch going to
shore and this was dene. Baker
hurried up to the cabin. The boy
told her he hid seen Baker slip a
package of cartridges In his pocket.
When they got to the ho'-is© Baker
had the gun and said he waa going
to kill them. There had been no
quarrel, aha said except over going
ashore and she had never seen Bak
er act that nay before.
