GOVERNOR GIVKX TOE
POWERS IX PARDONS
As n result of a reprieve of the
jail sentence of a native, eonvlcted
of having beaver skins out of sea
son in his possossiou, an opinion has
been received from Attorney Gener
al Daugherty in antwer to one from
District Attorney Arthur G. Shoup,
indicating that tie governor has
wide discretionary pon-ers for re
prieving prisoners. The letter in
part from the attorney general,
reads:
"Owing to the great distance Al
aska is from WasJlngton and the
difficulty of transporting mail dur
ing a portion of the year, situations
will undoubtedly arise where the in
terests of justice tequire a stay of
execution until the will of the Pres
ident can be ascertained and where
it would be a hun.ane act for the
governor to grant a stay or reprieve
until the President shall have had
an opportunity to consider the case
from the standp.int of executive
clemency, and this .lot only on cap
ital cases, but as regards lesser of
fenses also. In st ch a situation 1
think the governor is warranted in
exercising the power conferred on
him he Section 3S0 of the Alaska
Compiled Laws. At least this de
partment would nc: be disposed to
offer any objection to the exercise
of such power."

Gov. Scott C. Bone was to leave
Juneau for Washington today. It
possible he would take the Watson,
on her return, but she is delayed
any. he would be forced to go on the
Princess Mary.
Governor Bone had hoped to be
able to leave on the Northwestern
and travel to Wastington with Col
onel Frederick Mears. who is him
self en route to the national capital
on official busim-ss in connection
with the Government railroad. Some
matters of importance, said the gov
ernor. were still uncompleted, which
made it necessary for him to remain
here another week. As things look
now. he added, his visit to Wash
ington will last longer than he had
al first expected and it is probable
that he may be h*id there two
months.
Governor Bone denied that he was
"hurrying hack to Washington in an
efTort to save the Alaska legislative
program" at the request of Delegate
Sutherland, as reported in the latest
"Alaska Pispa:ch" to be received
here. He expects, he said, to talk
over matters relating to Alaska leg
islation with the delegate and do
whatever is possible to secure some
beneficial legislation for the'terri
tory.
