TO REGISTER
City Council Decides Upon a
 Registration Ordinance

At last nights meeting of the city council the city attorney was instruct ed to prepare an ordinance requiring the r, gistration of voters before all city elections. The motion requiring the instruction received the vote of all the members of the council. except MesSrs. Boughton and Shaw, and these opposed it simply because they regard ed it as a means of mourning unneces- sary expense. The city attorney, like both of his predecessors in office, had stated that he believed it was very doubtful if the city could impose upon the voters any additional qualification to that required by congressional en- actment. He stated that it was his be- lief that should a man, possessing all the qualifications of a voter, made nee eSsary by the municipal incorporation act, present himself to the officers of election on election day and request the privilege of voting, his ballot would have to be received. He stated that he had consulted other attorneys, and that they had agreed with this theory Of the law.
 Granting that the law to be as the city attorney held it to be, it would make it so any man could swear his vote in whether he was registered or not. A majority of the members of the council believed that notwithstanding this obvious and admitted objection, a registration ordinance would be worth it's cost as an experiment at least.

ShOup Thinks Alaska Will
 Get Delegate

United States Marshal J. M. Shoup, who has juat returned from Washing ton, thinks the prospect for the pas sage of bill providing for an elective delegate in congress for Alaska is ex- cellent. hJ says it will certainly pass if it ever comesto a vote.
 Said Mir. Shoup:
 "The people in Washington are get ing tired of self constituted delegates from Alaska. They want a man there with authority to represent the dis trict. one who has commission from the people for that purpose.
 "President Roosevelt iSItaking great interest in Alaska and Alaskan matters. He told me that he thought this dis Urict had great future and that he was very anxious that congress would do something to advance its needs.
 "My attention has been called to a press dispatch which says the president has declared for an appointive delegate instead of an elective delegate. I do not believe there. is word of truth in it. It is contrary to the presidents former declarations to senators and others and it is not like the man at all. am satisfied that it is untrue.
 "The republican ticket, it is general ly conceded, will be Roosevelt and Fairbanks and no one seems to question but that it will be victorious"
 MT. Shoup will leave on the Dolphin Saturday for Juneau.

INDICTED ON HIS
OWN TESTIMONY
KUMALAE'S ALLEGED INTIMIDA-
TON BEFORE THE GRAND
JURY

The vouchers indictments were be-
fore Judge Robinson again this morn
ing. One of attorney Ashfords OBJ
jections IN the Jonah Kumalae case
was on the ground that the indict-
ment had been found on testimony fur
nished by the defendant himself for
which reason Ashford claimed that the
Indictment was void.
IF st had not been for his own tes
timony, wrung from him against his
will and in disregard of his rights"
said Ashford, IAN indictment would not
have been found and he would not be
before this court now"
Ashford was seeking to get testi-
mOny from members of the Grand jury
as to the alleged intimidation of Ku-
malae. when the latter was a witness
before the Grand jury. w. H. Rabbit
was first called as a witness and tes-
titled that his true name was ''Winfred'
and not "Winifred," as it appears on
the jury list. In answer to questions
by Peters and the court he said that
he had been duly summoned and sworn
as q grand juror and had taken part
in the deliberations. Arthur tombstone
was called next, but the court stopped
questioning on the subject of intimi-
dation of witnesses before the Grand
jury. IF all of the p Grand jurors
should testify in support of the state
ments contained in the affidavit on
file with regard to intimidation and If
the attorney general should admit them
1 should still say lit was not for the
court to interfere" said the court.
Judge Robinson of his own motion stop
ped further investigation of the alleged
intimidation holding that the iudict-
ment would not be affected by it.
The pleas in abatement were all ar
gued together and submitted, Judge
Robinson saying that he would give
a decision tomorrow morning.
Ashford called Henry Hickey, one Of
the jurors, with view to ascertadnfng
his qualifications regarding knowledge
of English and objecting to him as a
juror. This was also disallowed by
the court.

LUNCH
FAMILY SKELETONS PROTEST.
''Walk-Out" Forced by Scandal Epi-
demic Worries Closet Hunters,

This is hard, hard winter for the
Family Skeletons union," said a prom
inent family skeleton in speaking OF the
scandal situation in Chicago yesterday.
we were ordered to walk out early
in January, and we have been slowly
coming out ever since. What effect
our walk-out will have on the divorce
mills cannot as yet be predicted.
You cannot imagine what hardships
the walk-out infiicts on the average
family skeleton. In the first place, he
is an indoor worker, spending a greater
part of his working day in his little
closet. Think OF the hardships he en-
dures when dragged out into the cold,
wintry world to stand blinking in the
bright, frosty sunshine, unprotected
and with the eyes of all upon him.
GAS a result of this walk-out numer-
Gus respectable, Woodworking, sober
family skeletons have been forced to
walk the streets while their places are
being filled by scab skeletons. We are
pinning our hopes for future success
on the fact that the union card will
have to be produced at proposals in the
future, and this process will tend to
install only regular family skeletons in
all respectable establishments. We
have been overworked unduly during
the last month and expect an adjust
ment Of hours Of labor before we 90

were spent in thinking of schemes

red to HIM that by sending passes over
his road to the presidents of the big
railroads Of the country he might re-
ceive complimentary passes in return.
This would enable him to see some
thing of the world at comparatively
small expense, and such passes as he
could not use personally he could dis
pose of advantageously. Mr.. Krupp
lost no time in getting letter-heads
printed with his own name in large
type as president. Then he sent 'R.
and A"Spasses broadcast and awaited
results.
One hot afternoon a flushed repre-
sentative of big Western road walked
into Mr.. Krupps Office and said he had
been all over town looking for the 'R.
and A." Railroad and could not find II.
He said he was sent from Philadelphia
to investigate before the company is
