M. Reed over-ruled the general demurrer filed by Attorney Gen- eral Rustgard to the latest com- plaint in the Wickersham cases agalnst Walstein G. Smith, Tes- ritorial Treasurer. The Treasurer was given 20 days in which to| file an answer to the complaint. The demurrer was general in fie nature, alleging that the complaint filed on June 29, last, by Judge Wickersham for himself, Bugene Wacker and D. W. Hiskins, Ket- chikan residents, did not contain facts sufficient to base an action against the Territorial Treasurer. The suit was begun on June 29, a few days after Judge Wicker- sham had withdrawn a - largely similar action. The demurrer was filed July 1, and arguments were heard twelve days later. The main question argued was the right of individual taxpayers to institute such actions. In overruling the demurrer today Judge Reed held that the complaint was legally sound. This, in effect, clears the way for eventual trial of the cace on its merits after further plead: ings are filed. Fiye items of the gemeral ap- propriation measure passed by the late Alaska legislature are attack ed in the present action. All of them are in the section covering the office of Governor, and include items for additional salary for Harry G. Watson, Secretary to the Governor, janitor and messenger service, traveling expenses of tne Governor, entertainment of visitors and repairs to the Executive Man- sion. In a memorandum opinion hand- ed down in the original suit, flled . by Judge Wickersham on May €, Judge Reed held the first three were valid charges against the Territory and that the Legislature acted properly in making approp- riations therefor; He declined to make any ruling on the last Lwo ftems, saying it was not mecessary to do so until such time arose as there were actual expenditures 4 HAZEL CLARKE DEATSVILLE, Ala Hazel Clarke boy! ilture umpka, ed to as th al modern girl Here's why: At ‘the' anuual HERGOISM O 1 NEW YORK, Junior four oilers Lioyd liner dangerous oratoy Au of a engincer on the Columbu accident In some mysterion sibly by striking a relict, the liner 1,000 miles out, 1 Raleased of the I engine raced until cylinder head Antone Webber oilers crawled room, filled Wkile the the young and closed throug with oiler Junior the e 3 INJURED IN FOREST FIRES Danger l\'r Increasing Western Washingt —Long Dry Sp steamer in SEATTLE, Aug. 6. were injured as hundred into the blazing foresis to the ever increasing number of fires which continue to 1 Western Washington.
