Alaska by Throat

claring that Senator Chamberlain, a mem
ber of the committee had Inadvertently
been tho author of a bill In a previous
congress whtch would have turned over
to the "Guggenhelms" absolute control
of the harbor of Cordova and the en
trance to Bering river coal fields.

ing bill Introduced in congress, I belfeve
you were the author of it, Senator Cham
berlain," said Wickersham, "giving tha
right-of-way to the Guggenhelms from
Mile Twenty-five on the Copper river
road to Three Tree point. You didn't
know what that bill meant. It passed
the senate, but when it reached the House
I killed It. If it had passed It would
have given the Guggenhelms title In fee
simple to all of Cordova harbor and they
would havo had iy monopoly like that of
Mr. Ryan on Controller bay."
Senator Chamberlain made no reply.
Mr. Wickersham told the committee that
the Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate had
Alaska "by the throat" and that the leg
islation holding up Alaskan development
"has helped the big man and killed the
little man."
Ryan challenged WIckersham's state
ment that the "Guggenhelms'' controlled
the bay In which he is Interested.
"It's jUBt my word against his, so I
ask the committee for permission to call
aNew York banker here to substantiate
my statement," said Ryan.
The committee will hold a session Fri
day to hear, the banker, whose name was
not given.

The Sperry 'houae moving concern of

Is less and less of It. The work has
gone on rapidly, not only in moving

Into place.
To date. 192 cases have been closed by
the reconstruction committee. That tr,

This has been absorbed by seventy sep

cases before the 'committee at present,
but many ot those Have Indicated that
they would" be able . to wait until the
$20,000 bonds are voted by tha county
to get their loan. They have so estab

this as the election Is to take place in

A. F. Rasmussen, who has had entire
charge of the restoration In the absence
of John W. Towle, will leave the desk
June 1. He says he absolutely mukt
get back to his business at that time.
Mr. Towle will probably place some one
