r. A. Cowan has received a letter
from Theodore Chandler, Davenport,
Iowa, which tells of the death of his
brother, Lewis Chandler, in Cali

45 and was machinist. He was en-
pIoyed with the Chicago & North

introduced into the state about the
time the Republican party was in In

VISITS THE Big CANAL
Women of Jamaica Put
American Hod Carriers
to Shame.

Kingston, Jamaica, b. w. I. Dec
ember 25, 1912.-This is Christmas day
and very strange one for us. 1t
seems more like q carnival or the
Fourth of July in the states. All
places of business are closed and will
be tomorrow also, suppose to allow
the natives to rest after a most
strenuous thirty-siX hours. The fire.
works, horns and almost every other
noisemaking device imaginable began
at about 8 o'clock last evening and
will probably continue all day and
tonight.
This morning early we walked down
King street, the principal street of the
city, through an immense, crowd of
merrymakers, mostly negroes, men,
women and children who acted like
lot of children. Everyone was so
happy that one soon caught the spirit
and we were as happy and smiling as
anyone. Everyone was so polite and
instead of boisterous pushing and
showing as is usually done in the
states on like occasion, we heard on
all sides as we josUled and were jostIed,
81 hope you are enjoying it," AT the
end of King street near the water
front is the market, very large one,
well kept. 1t was packed with peo-
pie, everyone in gala attire and just aa
happy as on the street.
Destroyed by Earthquake.
The climate lis verV comfortable,
no rain during the four days since we
landed. This city was entirely de-
stroyed by an earthquake about five
wears ago and on all sides we see evil
dences of it. About 1000 persons were
killed. 1t is being built again,
however, and in a more substantial
manner than before. Sunday night
we experienced very slight quake,
but no damage resulted.
We spent week at Panama and
found the construction work o1 the
canal most interesting. The Gatun
locks are so near completion that one
can readily see how they will be ope-
rated SO as to raise the boats from the
level of the Atlantic to the level of the
Gatun lake, distance of IS feet, in
three steps. There are three sets of
LOCKS. All locks are constructed lnipairs
so that vessels can go in opposite direc-
tions at the same time. They are still
having considerable difficulty with
the CuIebra cut, but of course this will
be overcome somehow. There are two
general character of slides found there;
one is The true slide which is mass OF
earth that is sliding off of q hard sur
face that pitches toward the cut and is
glacial In it's action; the other is slide
that is caused by the weight of the
bank on either side of the cut weigh

MYSTERY SO[VtO
IN LOCAL ROBBERY
Fred Reaidon Pleads Guilty
@m
to- Fixing" the Erswell
Telephone.
HAS WIFE AND ONE CHILD
Sentenced to Four Months
at Hard Labor at the
County Jail.
HAS Wife AND ONE CHILD

Sheriff William Welk commenced
his duties Wednesday by fine piece
of detective work, the result of (which
is the arrest andconviction of the man
who robbed E. s. ErswelI on Saturday
last by pretending to be a telephone
inspector.
Wednesday morning man appear
ed at the Prothero & Nc Ginnis garage
and asked to re wire theirs telephone.
Mr.. Prothero asked him for his badge
and the man replied that he had none,
but had worked for the telephone
company for six months. However,
he was ordered from the place and
afterwards called on Mr.. Erswell and
denied that he was the man who
robbed him. His actions were sus-
picious and in the afternoon he was
arrested and charged with the ofense.
He gave his name as Frank Waldo
and stoutly denied the crime and also
that he had asked to reWire the instru-
ment at the garage. His case was
continued and ne was committed to
jaiI and then SheriffWelk got busy.
He found from the telephone girls
that the man who had called in from
ErsWells on Saturday asking for
tgood strong ring" had an accent
which is sometimes called "eastern"
and as Waldo did not have that
accent, Weik made up his mind that
Waldo was not the man, but that he
knew who was the man. After some
considerable questioning Mr.. Welk
secured facts that caused him to have
Fred Reaidon who, is the brother-in-
law of Waldo, arrested for the crime.
Reaidon was brought before Justice
Halsted late Wednesday night and
after denying the crime for over an
hour, he finally broke down and
confessed that he was the man. He
claimed that his family was out of
money, he could not get work and
was driven to crime to get support for
his family. The case was adjourned
until 10 o'clock this morning when he
was committed to jail for four months
at hard labor. Waldo was discharged |
after a severe lecture by the court. It
was plain that these two young men
had planned this method of getting
some easy money and the public is to
be congratulated that it has been
stopped.
Neither of the two men have been
in the employ of the telephone COM
pany since the middle of November
and then it was digging post holes.
Reaidon has a wife and child, the
family residing in the Third ward.
He asked if he might pay fine hut
the court thought it best that he re
main on the county job. 1t is said that
a portion of the money went for
small sled for his child.

WHERE Is THE AXE

The Juneau Dispatch has haC another attack of severe pains because the Territorial Legis- lature will not allow itself to tc bull-dozed into rushing through an eight hour law to apply to all labor in Alaska. Just why this sudden interest it the "down trodden wage slave" it is hard to say. South eastern Alaska's chief industry fishing simply cannot he put cn the eight hour basis and continue in business. Some such law may be and probably iS needed in mining and kind rcd industries, but when it comes to fishing and canning fish, it is out of the question. Down at this end of the divis- ion we depend almost alto- gether on salmon, the canner- ies are having a hard time of it pulling through as things are now, and would simply be com Ipelled to shut down and go out of business if compelled to carry double crews as an eighs hour law would necessitate. It the Dispatch has it in for some particular individual or insti- tltion, all we'll and good-get after him-but don't rock the boat that the balance of us are riding in, the Dispatch itself
 might get wet.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION

The political situation at Ju- neau is still in a turmoil, and no man can even guess what
 the outcome may be. Accord
 ing to word received from Washington, z. R. Cheney has
 been confirmed in his appoint ment as Democratic Territorial
 Committeeman in spite of the opposition of Attorneys Vim
 and Cobb, which may simplify
 matters little. A strong
 fight had been put up against
 lis appointment by the other faction in Juneau, who are boosting Cobb for district judge
 instead of Jennings who is the
 candidate of the Cheney fac ton. A half dozen or so seem
 to want the position of II. s.
 Marshal. Of these, J. NJ. Tan
 ner has probably the best
 chance, having record which any man might envy, made W hile he was deputy at Skag- way in 1898, when being a marshal was a real mans job. Other aspirants for the posi-
 ton are c. F. Cheek a former druggist of Juneau; w. w.
 Casey, in the draying business
 in the same place, and it is
 reported that Harry Bishop, district committeeman i'll the last campaign, is also a can- 1idate. He too is from Juneau.
 Besides these there is every probability that there are a. many more with their aspirat- ions cooked and primed in case the psychological moment ar rives. The office of collector of customs has not been hand
 ed out as yet, for which of course Juneau has at least two favored sons-Qt beats the hand how the Capitol City
 ants everything in sight with
 lnfailing regularity, report having it that she had no less
 than 26 candidates for the ap- rointive offices of the present session of the Territorial Sen
 ate. Major J. F. A. Strong
 and Charles SulZer are the only
 names mentioned for the gov
 crnorship. Both are good men
 for the position and either would be acceptable to the res
 idents of the territory.
