City Council FavOrS
 Waterfront Street

leading to the Salmon creek road can be reached through the construction of about 1600 feet of plank roadway. It is proposed to build a roadway 16 feet from the Pacific Coast dock tc the dry land beyond Aux village where a land street will connect it with the Salmon creek road
 Henry Shattuck addressed the coun- cil on the subject. Mir. Shattuck said that he hoped the city would take some steps to secure a wider street than sixteen feet. The business and traf- fic will, he thinks, demand a much wider street and some steps should be taken to prevent private corporations or individuals from encroaching on the room that will be necessary.
 The plans as now determined upon contemplate building the roadway on the inside of fifty-foOt street and the driving of a row of piles on the outside to maintain the city's right to the re- mainder that work is necessary.

The expense of submitting the evi- dence to the grand jury last Decem- Der was somewhat less than $500.
 The case was submitted to the grand jury without recommendation of any kind by any representative of the De- partment of Justice, and the defend ants friends and attorneys were re- quested to submit to the same grand jury any evidence they might have, which they did, and that body had be- fore them also the transcript of the evi- dence taken at the coroners inquest at Douglas.
 At the trial the prosecution took the position that the petit jury had a right to find verdict either of murder in the first degree, murder in the second degree, or manslaughter. This posi- tiOn the defense controverted, and the question of whether or not the defend ant was guilty of murder in the sec Ond degree, or manslaughter, was therefore not submitted to the jury and that issue has never been tried"

MAY GET ACTION ON ALASKA BILL
JUVENILES SCORE
 IN "THE RANSOM

The Bostonians are in Juneau again, and no organization could be accord ed a more gracious welcome than the one which greeted their appearance in Elks' hall last night.
 "The Ransom" is a charming oper- etta in two acts and with a pretty love story teeming with mirth and music It made a decided hit with the aud fence from the rise of the curtain ness and merry manner of the girls, always in evidence in their perform ances, was not lacking in last nights presentation, and every character was portrayed perfectly.
 Patsy Henry, as the dainty and "clev- ah" English Lord Reggie" appeared to the best advantage of any charact- CT in which she has been seen. Ina Mitchell as Mona or Miss Hamilton was bewitching and sang very sweet ly. Many Juneau youths would will ingly have changed places with Miss Thom Hellen who sang and played the part of Pedro" the lover of Mona" Miss Helen has a charming person. ality and a beautiful voice. Doris Garfield with her happy-go-lucky way and laugh-producing ability was as be- fore the life of it all. She was seen last night in a new role, a mature man and a cowboy at that, which is considered a bit heavy for one so young, but she was equal to the oc- casion and acquitted herself glorious ly. The other characters taken by Billy O'Neil, always charming, Daisy Henry with her welcome baby smile, Dixie White, as ever and ever a fav- orite, and the little mite, Stubby Myl- ing, whom everybody loves, were each and all well received and generously recognized. The entire cast and chor- us acquitted themselves with the usual Bostonian grace and talent.
 Tonight "The Princess Chic" will be given in every detail as it was given in New York and entour. A rare oper- attic treat is in store for all who attend. Miss O'Neil will appear as Duke of Burgundy, Miss Patsy Henry as Cham berth, steward to the Duke; Miss Dor is Garfield will be seen as Pommard, secretary to the Princess, also as King Louis in act two; Miss Ina Nit chell is Estelle, daughter of Chamber tin, while Miss Helen has the star part of Princess Chic of Normandy.
 Sunday night they will put on Ad- rians masterpiece, "The Mascot"

The proposed waterfront street from the Pacific Coast dock across the tide lands to the Gold creek estuary, to con- meet with the Salmon creek govern ment wagon road, received it's first official affirmative boost at last nights session of the city council. The City of Juneau now stands committed to the proposition. City Engineer B. D. Blakeslee was directed to locate the thoroughfare and to draw up plans and specification for the construction of the long bridge and have them ready for submission to the council at once, so that a call for bids to do the work can be issued.
 This action was precipitated through the report of Councilman E. c. Hurl- butt, who was the head of the commit tee appointed to inquire into the feas- ibility of the plan in accordance with a petition of residents along the wa terfront to be traversed. Councilman Hurlbutt reported that the dry land

SPEED MANIACS MUST
 TRAVEL SLOWER NOW

Persons wishing to reach any part of the city in a hurry should drive twelve miles an hour in order to do so successfully hereafter. The city council at last nights session, passed an ordinance fixing the maximum rate of speed for automobiles or other ve- hicles, including motorcycles, over the streets of Juneau at twelve miles per hour. Anyone attempting to travel at more rapid gate is liable to be slowed up and delayed considerable. Chief of Police J. T. Martin has been instructed to rigidly enforce the new speed ordinance. As first drawn the ordinance provided for a maximum rate of six miles an hour, but after much discussion it was raised to twelve miles per hour.

GETTING READY FOR

The City Council at last nights ses- sion ordered the drawing of an ordi- nance for the official naming of the streets and the numbering of houses. The subject of naming the streets and numbering the houses brought up discussion on the possibility of getting the free delivery system to which Ju- is thought to be entitled.
 Councilman H. J. Raymond said that he for one was certain that it would be a very good thing and that if Juneau was entitled to it as no doubt it was, steps should be taken to get it. Coun- cilman Geddes said it would be a very excellent thing for Juneau and was in favor of going after it. It developed that the council as a body was in fa- vor of getting in position to demand the. system.

TITANIC VICTIMS WIDOW
 BUYS MOORE THEATRE

SEATTLE, Aug. 2. - Mrs. Hugh Rood, whose husband was a victim of the Titanic disaster, has purchased the Moore theare in this city. The Moore is the largest and most expen- sive theatre in Seattle, though it has been losing money since the quarrel between John Cort, who operates it under a lease, and Klaw and Erlang- CT, who constitute the so-called theatre trust. After the break with Cort, Klaw and Erlanger built the Metro politan theatre, and all of their at- fractions are billed there.
 The Moore theatre was built by Jas. A. Moore, the promoter who went broke in an attempt to float the Iron dale steel works.

Charles Anderson, an employe on the cold storage ship Glory of the Seas, stationed at Idaho Inlet, acci- dentaly fell down the hold and was seriously hurt yesterday afternoon. Anderson was climbing up the ladder when he slipped and fell 12 to IA feet to the bottom of the hold. His hips were badly bruised but there are no marks showing further injury. Strange ly enough the man became unconscious and has so remained. He was brought to Juneau and taken to St. Ann's hos pital at 1O:30 last night. Today noon he had not yet regained consciousness. Hospital attendants say that he is not seriously injured and that he will re- cover. He is probably suffering from shock

FINE INSTEAD OF
 PRISON SENTENCE

Ed Norris this morning before Judge Fred M. Brown, of the district court, plead guilty to the charge of selling liquor to Indians. Judge R. A. who was appointed attorney for the defendant made a statement to the court asking that the defendant be punished by fine rather than by i'm setting forth that it was the first offense, and the first time that the defendant had ever been charged with crime; that he had always borne a good reputation with the exception that on occasions he was in the habit of drinking too much. It was set forth that while in this condition the crime was committed and that his employer spoke very highly of him and wanted him back at work; that the ends of justice would be as we'll served by i'm posing a fine as by Imprisonment.
 Judge H. H. Folsom, assistant dis trict attorney, agreed with counsel for plaintiff in the matter.
 The court gave a bit of wholesome advice on the matter of drinking, pointing out to the defendant that in- diligence in the habit might lead to some act that would ruin his whole life. The court also stated that when a defendant plead guilty to a crime and did not show a disposition to ob- struct justice, that act was entitled to consideration. The court imposed a fine of $1OO, which the defendant will pay.

Bureaucratic Government
 Caused Macdonald Case

I suspended over the head of every rep
 resentative of the Department
 of Justice in the Territory of Alaska. The governmental system in Alaska is contrary to the principles of the common law, contrary to our organic law, the history and traditions of the American people and repugnant to the inherent principles which are the bas-
 IS of all free government.
 Now, gentlmen, I trust that you realize the trmenduous odds against Joseph Macdonald in this trial. The plaintiff is not a State, the plaintiff is not a Territory, but the United States of America, the richest and most pow erful nation in the world; and every dollar expended for the defendants destruction, including your own com pensatiOn. comes from the treasury of the United States. Gentlemen, in view of all the circumstances surround ing this case. no State or organized ter ritOry would have put any citizen or alien upon trial for his life more than eleven years after an offense is all legged to have been committed: with evidence like the deceased's gun and clothes lost or destroyed. some of the witnesses for the defendant dead, and the living ones scattered over the United States and foreign countries, in such manner as would exhaust a moderate fortune to get them here. It is appalling to think what would be- come of a poor defendant under such circumstances as exist in this action. There is not parallel to this case in the criminal annals of the United States or any State or territory"
