FEW AT
 MEETING

Last Tuesday night 2 tew-and very few-interested citizens gathered at Frank Miller's. place st the call of the town trustees to discuss the question of fro protection for tho city. Thsre were not enough of them there to start an argument, so they talked awhile about the weather and the stage of the water in the river. Then they wont home.
 Before departing they registered a small VOW among themselves that they would foregather at the same place next Tuesday night, each man agree ing to try to induce someone to come with him.
 The lack of interest in tho matter of fire protection was commented upon nt the time. It was freely predicted that nothing would be done toward organiz- ing a volunteer fire brigade until dis astrous fire has wiped some careless persCn of the map.
 This is probably true. It always has been and always will. Back in the dear dead days, Socrates, Lydia Pink ham or some other of those old-timers propounded 2 lot of truthful sayings about your never missing tho watsr till the we'll runs dry; whom it rains you can't fix the roof and whom it doesn't you don't have to--none so blind SIS bull pup with . cold in the head.
 These all point the moral of the age, that it's no use having . fire depart mont until there's a fire 10 put out.
 However, it might be we'll to organ ize . bucket brigade next Tuesday night for sprinkling tho streets occa- sionally, and many citizens arc expect ed to attend.

CHANGED
 CITY MAP

Believing the mere existence of a street a vexatious and obsolete form of iutercommunication be- tween the different parts of Iditarod City, several euterprising citizens proceeded Thursday night to close Willow street against the encroach- uents of cheechaco lot jumpers To do this they jumped it them .-lves
 Scarcely had the sun sank his oashful head behind the hills at II p. Ill than a small, decrepid ten, appeared ill the middle of Willow ,treet, adjoining Joe Greens place, opposite the Vienna Cafe and di rectly across the roadway.
 Al Hacks and Ernest Niehoff thought they saw chance for a good location. Just after that John King decided that the remaining space wasn't wide enough for a ;oad way anyhow, SO he jumped he remaining portion of 30 feet, closing Willow as effectually as one of these new faugled rubber stop pers.
 The comment OH this business is obvious. and it's shame to have to say it.
 Lot jumping may be all right un- der certain circumstances. but when it becomes chronic the public must administer sedatlve and place the foolish victims oil the operating table. Their greed should then be removed, however painful the op- eration.
 The government officials treated the matter calmly, knowing they would be backed up by public sen ,iment. If streets are useless for any purpose except as resident sites then let us get togetl,er-there are several streets suitable for a town hall where tue citizens can meet oil common ground.

It was learned from the Office of the

magnifying glasses had been used on
the seized gowns and that IL had
been found that the labels of the Par.
islan dressmakers had been unstitch.
ed and that in their place labels of
New York modistes had been placed,
Mrs. McKenna stoutly affirmed
when she was charged with attempt
ing to smuggle that the dresses were
made in this country and pointed to
their labels to prove It. She secured

and hired Mr.. Stanchfield to put I'D

ney was ready for the fight yesterday
but when Mr. Stanchfleld was told
what the magnifying glass had shown

and the plea of guilty resulted.
This case against Mrs. McKenna Is
another of the long string instituted
by Collector William Loeb. Jr.. of tbe

was placed under arrest late in An.

country upon the Maretania. On in.
spection of Mrs. McKenna's baggage
deputy collectors swore that thew had
found $4,000 worth of iewelry and
$4,000 worth of Paris gowns. which
she had not declared.
She was arraigned before United

gave her residence as 2529 Michigan

the jewelry which she had not declar-

went abroad and was consequently
not subject to duty.

move 10 New York. thus listening 20
the call Of the city. Believing 1t is
for the best interests of his fathers
memory, he engages Hammock as his
private secretary. The second act
shows the family ensconced in
beautiful home on Fifth Avenue.
Rand having entered politics, he is on
the eve of being nominated for gov
ernor when he makes a second dis
covery which proves even more dra-
matte and tragic than that Of the
previous act. Hammock. crook, dope,
fiend is in love with Cicely Rand. and
when taken to task by his employer
he confesses that they are married.
II was the desire of Mr.. Fitch that
the finish Of this story should never
be made known. that is. in advance OF
the first performance, and the same
wish has actuated the Shuberts In
the finale Of the second
act. Suffice Il to say Mr.. Fitch has
sounded the deepest depths OF trag-
edy.
The play has been staged with ell
of those little attentions to detail
which characterize the Fitch pro
ductions.
