COUNCIL MEETING

At the regular meeting of the city council held last night the following letter was read from pr. Mustard. chairman of the carnival committee:
 Nome. Alaska. Dec. :l. 1913. To the Mayor and Members Of the
 Common Council. Nome, Alaska:
 Gentlemen: AS chairman of the Ak saIa carnival committee appointed by your honorable body. it is my disagree able duty to tender to you the resig- nation of the entire committee.
 In view of the great social and financial success of previous Aksala carnivals and the urgent need of the Holy Cross hospital for money to meet its daily expenses. few words ex- plaininG the cause of these resiGnations are not only necessary. but imperative.
 The cause. stated as brIefy as possi- ble, Is the opinion of the district at- torney that the selling of beer or of punch at the carnival and the run ming of morse races" arc clearly i,- legal: and further that any such vio- iation of the law would at once bc followed by criminal prosecution of its of cnders. While disassocIating them selves from any opinion as to tho cor rcctness of this interpretation of tho Alaskan code the committee. nevcrthe- less does not wish to court criminal prosecution. even on behalf of Nome's gi eatest public charity.
 On the other hand the committee do rot believe they could organize n sue cessful carnival without these features which have now been declared taboo. Aside from the queen contest. the financial success of all previous Ak sala carnivals has been largely due to the profits of the Dutch booth. the V inc booth md the horse races.
 The committee. therefore. rcgrctful- ly tender their resignations to your honorable body. but In doing 30. wish to assure you that each member Is N Hing to do whatever he can on ha- Lalf of tho Holy Cross hospital
 Very truly yours.
 '. II. MUSTARD. Chairman Aksal,I Carnival Committee.

Bacheldcr. D. E. Crowley. Joe Sheldon. George Walker, W. T. Rowe. Dr. T. NJ. Sloan. A. Po- let. Joe Jourdcn. sam Tngcart and F. W. Carleton.
 The mayor immediately appointed tho above named gentlemen as n com mitteo 10 arrange for some kind of an entertainment in the near future for the benefit of the Holy Cross hospital which would bc within tho law.

HAD Big MAJORITY
ALMOST 13 TO IN FAVOR OF
GAS FRANCHISE.
Material Has Already Been Ordered
and Work VIII Begin on the
Plant SOOn-LOcation Not
Settled.

BY vote of 63S to so Abilene
granted a franchise to ]. J. Donelan
to install an artificial gas plant here.
There was little opposition to the
franchise as the vote shows, the
whole city being practically unani-
nous in Its opinion that 1t was a
booster proposition.
The gas men were pleased with
the large majority given them in
the special election and said last
night that work would begin on the
plant within a short time. The ma
terial for its construction has al
ready been ordered and the ma
chinery for the plant was ordered
with the machinery for the Junction
City plant few weeks ago and will
be here soon.
The granting of the franchise
means that 100000 corporation is
to be added to the business interests
of the city.

ANGLERS STILL WORRY
ABOUT FISHING LAWS

County Clerk King and County
Attorney Hurd are kept busy these
days answering questions fired at
them by ambitious anglers of the
county who have been misinfornied
on the fishing laws. Let it be said
finally for two years at least you
make take your little pole and your
can of assorted worms and invade
any nook or bend in any puddle,
brook or other body of water in the
state without a fishing license. You
are entitled to as many fish as grab
your bait providing you can pull
them in. Unlike the law on ducks
and geese there is no limit to the
number you are allowed to bag.

MARRIAGE REGISTRATION
Law EFFEOTIvE TODAY
Costs You 80 Cents More For License
Now.

The fellow who has had for his
motto Don't do anything today
that you can put off till tomorrow
got stuck so cents when he followed
1t in the business of buying mar
riage licenses. Three dollars would
buy a matrimonial license to your
order yesterday but II you are am
bilious to marry today and you slip
around to Judge Happen to get his
consent you'll pay three fifty. The
extra fifty cents is for registration
In the state office.
The law was passed by the 1918
legislature. 1t went into effect on
publication of the statutes today. 1t
requires that all marriages must be
recorded not only in the county
where the license was issued, but
the preacher who performs the cere-
mony must file record of the we'd
ding with the state bureau of vital
statistics also. The present law
makes marriage license issued in
one county good anywhere in the
state, but the record of the marriage
is made in the county which issued
the license. There are many cases
In the courts where the marriage
record cannot be found. A recent
case was that of a Denver man get
getting a marriage license in Shaw
nee county to marry girl at YER
in Marshall county. The
record of that marriage is in the
Shawnee county probate court and
lot in Marshall county. Under the
lew law the record will also be in |
he state house in Topeka in the
,ital statistics bureau.

KEEP TAB ON BOOZE
NEW LAW IN EFFECT ON PUB
LEGATION TODAY.
First Batch of Shipments Will Be
Reported to County Clerk
Within 80 Days-NO
Publicity Here.

The Mahin law, compelling ex-
press companies and other common
carriers to file a list of the con-
signees of liquor shipments with the
county clerk of each county, went
into effect with its publication in
the statute book today. The first
reports of shipments will reach the
office of the clerk about the last
of May, H. w. King said today.
Sometime ago Attorney General
Dawson sent circular letter to the
county clerks of the state in which
he told them on account of an ap-
parent conflict with the federal laws
they need not follow the provisions
of the Mahin act which states that
the list of names shall be open to
the inspection of the public. He
said that he would stand responsible
for the refusal of the county clerks
to show the names to the public,
while II they followed the terms of
the new state law they might sub
ject themselves to punishment under
the federal acts.
Section 3 of the Mahin act pro-
vides that 1t Is the duty of the coun-
ty clerk to file In his office the state
ments of shipments made by the
carriers land to permit any and all
persons SO desiring to inspect the
same at any time that his office may
be open" Basing his opinion upon
federal statutes Attorney General
Dawson has Instructed the clerks
that they need not make the ship
ments public.
County Clerk Swayzee of Shawnee
county said in a statement yester-
day: II shall follow the provisions
of the law when 1t goes into effect
and the list of names filed here at
the end of each thirty days will be
open to public inspection. There is
only one Interpretation that can be
put on the provisions of the Mahin
act. 1t says that the railroad COM
panies shall file statements showing
to whom all shipments of intoxi-
eating liquors. are delivered, the
kind, amount and by whom each is
shipped, and that this list shall be
open to all persons to inspect when
ever they desire"
The instructions of the attorney
general will be followed in this
county until a test case has been
decided by the courts.
