Veteran Pioneer Tells
 of Juneau's History

Charles Wells, a veteran among the pioneers of Alaska, accompanied by Mrs. Wells, will leave on the Hum boldt en route to Los Angeles, where they will spend the winter return ing next spring.
 In 1870 MT. Wells went up the skeena river to the Peace river mines, in the omineca district. In 1874 he was in Cassiar, and in 1880 he came to Juneau where he, George E. Pills and Matt Hilton erected the first building in this city. It was located next to The Empire office, where the new Goldstein building now stands, and was built of logs.
 According to MT. Wells. Pills was the real discoverer of this mining dis trict, he being grubstaked by Richard Harris the first year. The second year N. A. Fuller furnished Pills sup plies. Pills is now on Jackwade creek, near Eagsa on the Yukon. By birth he is German.
 Mir. Wells has large mining and other interests here, and he will re- turn to Juneau next spring.

JUDGE LYONS
 DEFINES FELONY

An important decision was render ed yesterday by Judge Lyons in the case of the United States vs, M. KOno and 20 others.
 The question involved was whether the defendants were guilty of felony or misdemeanor The case origin ated in Ketchikan. Mir Kono and his Japanese associates were indict- ed last spring for fishing on Sunday which, according to the Alaska code, is a closed season for all kinds of fish ing except rod and line,
 The case came to trial and the Jap, anese defendants appeared by coun- sel, Qugersoll and Cosgroye) at the October term of court in Ketchikan. The defendants appearing by coun- sel only and not in person, their bail was declared forfeited
 Counsel for defendants, therefore, moved to set aside the order of for feiture on the ground that the crime charged is a misdemeanor and not a felony and that under our law defend ants charged with misdemeanor may appear by counsel at all times.
 The government contended that the ofrense is felony because the law provides the penalty of improsonment at hard labor not exceeding 90 days,
 The court held that unless the law states expressly that punishment for an offense is imprisonment in a peu- itentiary, the confinement must be in the federal jail.
 This decision draws the distinction between felony and a misdemeanor on the kind of punishment provid' ed for the ofrense-a sentence to the penltentiary makes felonT and a sentence to the federal jail, aminor criminal only.
 It is interesting to note that Judge Gunnison made the same decision in the case of the United States vs, oo-Nocht-Keen.

Little is Known
 About Frank Weaver

Walter Grubb. who was the friend of Frank Weaver. who was lost of a launch on the night of November 4, is perhaps the only person in Ju- neau who can give any information about the drowned man. Mir. Grub6 is very much depressed over the dis tressiug affair.
 To an Empire representative he gave a few meager facts but said he would probably have more infor- nation later
 Frank Weaver was about 33 years of age and a native of Michigan. Mir. Grubb who brought him up from Ket- chikan in his launch says that he was a good man. Weaver was not ac- quainted in Juneau and had not spent to exceed weeks time in the place. He was unmarried and had worked on a pile driver a part Of last summer for one Of the canneries.
 It had been the intention of Mir. Grubb to join Weaver later and en- gage in trapping and hunting during the coming winter. Weaver never worked for the road commission at any time,
 This afternoon Mir. Grubb went over to Douglas to have a talk with Hurl. but. the surviving companion of Weaver on their unfortunate trip. Mir. Grubb owned the launch which was lost

At Tuesday evenings meeting, the Commercial Club touched live wire in opening the discussion on better fire protection for the city of Juneau. The subject was a noticeable topic of conversation throughout the day fol- lowing the meeting.
 As a rule every suggestion was well comed with the belief that the thrash ing out of ideas would result in the most practical plan of obtaining the best result.
 It is coucede that Juneau has the most loyal fire laddies that ever con- stluted a volunteer fire department and that their efficiency is limited only by the circumstances that are to be met. This is the general senti- ment of the businessmen of the town. The problem that must be solved is to create new conditions-bring about a state of affairs that will lessen the fire risk.
 There is much talk Of installing a salt water system and in connection with this idea 1t has been suggested that the ferry boat might be used. The plan of using or depending on the ferry is objected by some on the ground that, a fire department when needed IS needed very badly, and it would be awkward to find at the criti- ca! moment. that very important part of the dre-fghting force was down at Sheep creek.
 Others have suggested that mains can be laid all over the town md a pumping station could be maintained at a minimum cost. The suggestion has been made that a high pressure reservoir could be built on the hill adjoining Chicken ridge and kept filled. the expense of filling being practically only the cost of mainte- nance
 The thought which seems to have sunk deeper than any other. however, is the wonderful efficiency of the chemical engine when properly han dled

TURKS AND FOES WILL TAKE A REST
PLANS FOR FIRE
 PROTECTION FOR CITY

"The time to stop a fire" said one business man. "1s before 1t gets started" and he continued, there is nothing that will handle an incipient blaze so quickly as a good chemical engine, in capable hands"
 What we need" said one business man." is a combination chemical and hose wagon and two good men who understand the business to manage it, The rig could be moved by horses or 1t can be an up-to-date motor engine"
 Motor cars have demonstrated on the hills of Seattle during snow falls their superiority over horses, and are fast being substituted in all the de. partments on account of their quick ness and hill climbing efficiency.
 The city of Nome has a steamer which is held in reserve, salt water system of mains with Worthington underwater pumps and a combination chemical and hose engine. The crew consists of five men, and 1t costs the town in round numbers $12.OOO year to maintain this department
 The burden of active work, how ever. always falls upon the chemical One can approach a business man Of Nome and get an attentive ear on any plan of retrenchment looking to reduction of taxes-but the slightest suggestion of cutting down the fire de- partment is met with an indignant protest.
 Fairbanks has practically the same system as Nome and the cost of main terance is much larger,
 Both Nome and Fairbanks have the Gamewell alarm system which is con uected with the telephone systems of each of the towns.
 One Juneau man said. the urgent need is an alarm system. that is ac- curate and dependable, then appara- tus that will be quick and efficient. Ninety per cent of the bad fires could have been prevented if the alarm had been promptly given and responded to with efficiency and dispatch"

eoNDsMEN LOOKING
 FOR EMIL OLSON.

Emil Olson who was arrested about a month ago for selling liquor to In. dians and out under bond has quietly disappeared from the city and his bondsmen are Henry Olson and Sam Johnson, who are trying to get in touch with him.
 It is thought by Johnson that he took passage under an assumed name as a cannery employee on the last trip of the Alameda.
 The marshal's office thinks the man is located among the passengers of the last Alh and booked for Ketchi- kan. Sowerby & Bell, agents, re- port that no Emil Olson is on the list, but they booked man giving the name of Emil Nelson.
 This Olson man is bad actor &C., cording to report. At the time of his arrest he had just finished beating up an Indian woman till she was in a pitiable state.
 Later he was employed by Long shore Boss Head and started trouble on the dock. It is said that when Head had finished with him he was in more subdued state of mind and that tincture of arnica was called in- to use.
 An effort is now being made to reach Ketchikan by wireless.
