 IS BARRED

LOS ANGELES, Dec 14-Luther Mccarthy, the Canadian pugilist re- ceived a shock here that was not due to his recent encounter with 'Porky" Flynn, except in an indirect way, that is to say 1t was cause rather than ef- feet.

Peace Conference
 Meets on Monday

LONDON, Dec. 14.-All the peace plenipotentiaries were assembled in this city yesterday, but there was no formal conference,
 The conference will be formally convened on Monday unless the re, newal of hostilitles between the Greeks and Turks, as indicated in yes. terday's dispatches, shall prevent the meeting
 Among the plenipotentiaries them selves, there is a feeling Of doubt and uncertainty that does not augur we'll for a successful solution of the Balkan war situation.

Juneau Needs a
 Public Library

their employees. No doubt, the big mining companies would be very wil. ling to cooperate with the people of Juneau in establishing such an insti- tuition here in town.
 "In connection with the library there should be a reading room down town for the exclusive use of work ing men-a place where they can smoke and enjoy themselves"
 Judge Folsom said he was willing to help the movement along in every possible way. No doubt a great many others can be enlisted in the cause once the subject is agitated.
 Over on the island 1t is recog- uized fact that the library and read ing room are the real attractive fea- lures of Treadweu club life. When the innovation was started many were on the point of rebelling against the enforced tax of one dollar per month to pay for all of the good things enjoyed at the club, but now it is doubtful if the men would stay if the institution were closed.
 The Alaska-Juneau people have an nounced their purpose of not provid- ing boarding houses and such insti- tutions for their men and they are looking to the people of Juneau to pro- vide homes for their help and to make the town attractive. Other mining companies are known to have the same plan under consideration.
 Nearly every town in Alaska-cer- tainly every community with Juneau's has a public library. Fair hanks has a splendid library building and shelves plentifully supplied with books.
 There is a nucleus of a library in the hands Of the governor of the ter rltory but the volumes are all packed away because there is not suitable building for them. This collection, however. does not embrace fiction and much other entertaining reading.

U. s. MARSHAL
 ALSO SCORED

Yesterday afternoon an exciting event occurred on the walk in front of the court house steps. There were not many witnesses to the occurrence, but those who did see it, say it was a thrilling affair.
 A drunken soldier had been guilty of disorderly conduct on the court house premises and hurried call to the marshaIs office brought out Mar. shal Faulkner himself to make the arrest. Mir. Faulkner was hare-head- ed and without a coat Approaching the inebriated giant he told him in forceful yet polite English that he was under arrest, whereupon the sol dier boy gave a swift short arm jab and the marshal went down. He did not take the count, however, but on getting to his feet proceeded to re- verse conditions. The soldier boy finally got tired of getting up and was led to his cell.
 This morning he was told by Com missioner Vim to take the Dolphin back to Seward, and no sentence would be imposed.
 Marshal Faulkner says the man has good working arm with plenty of strength back Of it and he feels elated over the fact that he fioored his op- ponent in the good old way.
 The offender bears the name Mike owsianowsh and says he cannot ac- count for his conduct-perhaps his name exploded-but most of the boys in the marshal's office think it was bad whiskey.

the armistice on the plea that she did so in order to have a free hand with Turkey in case of an exhibition of bad faith on the part of the Otto man government pending the peace negotiations is looked upon with sus. picion in some quarters. It is pointed out that Turkey is worn out with fight ing and Is in no position to continue war. even if she were disposed so to do.
 The Ottoman governments refusal to allow it's delegates to partake in the proceedings of the conference, un- less Greece first signs the armistice, has further complicated a delicate sit. uatlon.

There is movement on foot to es, tablish a public library in Juneau. The movement cannot be said to have gained great momentum as yet, but there is hope that the spread will be very much accelerated in the next few weeks. Quick action will avail but little. however, unless there is some weight behind it.
 Several times in the past few weeks the subject has been discussed among business men and it is understood that the women organizations afil- lated with the different churches have been giving it some consideration.
 Judge Folsom was approached on the subject and immediately took an active interest in the topic under dis cussion.
 We had a public library here once" said the Judge, but I don't want to tell the story of it's disappearance it is not a pleasant recollection. You see. most of our people have lived here a long time-through sun shine and shade-mostly shade, igur- auvely speaking.
 When we were hopeful and money was being spent freely it was easy to establish. but when the dark days came it was hard to keep it up and so our library fell by the wayside. I really don't know what became of it The place was closed and the books became scattered.
 But now is a good time to start it again. The people of Juneau have been waiting for the return of pros perity so long that many of them do not yet realize that it is already here. Just let them wake up to the situation and the public library as we'll as oth- or needs Of the community will be provided.
