Removal bid for Fairbanks commissioner Dillon
On March 19 the territorial house adopted a judiciary committee report calling for the removal of John F. Dillon, United States commissioner at Fairbanks, on charges of extortion, improper fees, willful neglect, and contempt of territorial laws. The committee sent the report to Judge Charles E. Bunnell and other federal judges in Alaska. A roll call showed unanimous support for removal. Dillon questioned whether federal or Alaska law governs his duty, seeking the attorney general’s ruling.
