his neck jumped out in heavy rolls.
The veins at his temples swelled.
His great frame swayed and droop-

Big tears welled into the eyes OF
the little foreman. He wiped them
away and then the clerk began to
ask the questions required by law.
The roll was called and each indi-
vidual juror was asked if guilty

Becker stood motionless while
these questions were being put to
the jurors. Immediately upon their
conclusion the clerk began to take
Becker's pedigree" To the first
questions Becker answered in a
steady voice that he was 43 years
old, was born in the United States
and that his parents both had been
born in Germany.

AS to his occupation, Becker said

Justice Seabury thanked each man
of the jury for his services and they
left the room.
Handouts were then locked about
his wrists; he was taken from the
room and around the corridors to the
other side of the building, across the
Bridge of Sighs and into the Tombs.
On his way around the corridor

 In all this discussion of railroads for Alaeka, nothing has been said or writ ten of the possibility of developing electric power in this territory for the operation of it's future railroad system. No country in the world presents such fair field for developing unlimited water power for tbe generation of elec- tricity. Along thousands of miles of coast line water sufficient water to taru the wheels of any number of great power houses, industrial plants and railroads is daily going to waste. The Copper river alone could produce energy to operate the entire railroad system from the southern coast to the r kon valley. The same is true of other sections too numerous to men ton. A great power plant is being planned for the generation of the Ala ska Gastinesu plant and another for the Alaska Juneau mill, while, scatter ed about the territory are var dous small plants for light, heat and

 Grace c. Bostwick, special oOrres- lpondent of the Seattle P. d., writes the following from the Chisana: "A most affecting little tragedy was enacted 8 short time ago on the Middle fork of White river country, this side of Rus sell glacier, on the way to the camp from Mccarthy. Jack Johnson, a young chap praised on every hand as a most likeable and genial sOrt, was on his way to the diggings from some small town in Idaho. He was sheep bunting on bis way in and had shot two aud was making bis way down to them wben he was caught in a snow slide and suffocated. When the news reached the camp the recorder travelled to the scene, found the body and cent i it on to McCarthy. The dramatic feat ure of the accident was the fact that a letter had arrived in the meantime for the young man with'the news that his grandmother had died, leaving e7OO0,. GOO to the heirs, of which he was one, and asking for bis power of attorney, SO the estate could be settled. This letter, of course, was never seen by Johnson, who died before che news could reach him. There was also a most eRectlng letter from little girl in Idaho, probably his fiancee. The young mans people reside in Texas.

 ERorEve Fears ending last night, says abs Hines, the Fairbanks district has pro&aosd almost Sg, ,o00,OOS in gold from tts quartz operations, according to fig mrss and estimates furnished by the different operators, experts and the banking institutions of Fairbanks. Erer since the quartz operations st rted in 19o9, the output has increas ed by leaps and bounds, until the amount of gold taken from hard rock during the past twelve months has been almost equal to the total PTodne' tion of all former years. To those in terested in quartz the figures are very interesting, but more pleasing is the prediction of the leading operators of the camp Chat the Panama valley quartz mines will produce fully one million dollars daring the year T9lA.

For the first half of this week the management of this cosy theatre nave secured what is without a doubt one of the finest feature photoplay produc- tions ever shown in this city. When a man with the reputation that Daniel Frohman has is behind a production, there is little doubt of the outcome. In the feature today William Farnum, the celebrated American actor, will be seen in The Redemption of David Corson, the famous tale of a strong mans temptation, transgreSSion and regen- eration, a powerful story with an ap- pealing touch of the supernatural, pre- 6ented in four complete reels of perfect photographic art. William Tarnum is well known throughout the country through the marked triumphs achieved in Ben Hur, The Prince of India, The Littlest Rebel, and many other suc- cessful plays. His portrayal of David Corson in the feature today certainly adds another laurel to his already heavy crown and will mark a new era in the motion picture productions seen here. The other Mutual movies on this bill are The Fires of Ambition, a pow erful two part Domino drama; the Mu- tual Weekly, No. "A, with everything of importance portrayed in all parts of the world; The Bowery Boys Is the name of the latest Keystone comedy, with the funniest of all the screen 15 minutes of continuous laughter. Messrs Boyle and Craig have an excel lent concert programme for today which includes Carmia, a beautiful solo by Aar. Boyle: Mir. Craig will sang by request The Songs My Mother Used to Sing, and the duet is Nancy Lee. a rollicling sea song that will surely make a big hit. No matter how hot 1t is outside, you can always depend on it being nice and cool in the Davis.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Three Feature Acts and Seven Reels Feature Photoplays Today.

It Is hard to start to pick out the festlres or today's bill at the Audi torfum, as there are so many, but to make & beginning we will take first the wonderful three part feature film, Balaoo, the Demon Baboon. This pie ture was adapted from the famous novel by Gaston Leroux, the noted French detective author, and 1t deals with scientist who tries to educate a gigantic baboon. M. Battaile, who plays the part of the monkey, makes such a natural characterization that 1t is hard to believe that he is not actu- ally a monkey. This Is one of the most unusual pictures on the market, can't imagine anything like 1t, as it is like one of Poe's weird conceptions.
 The vaudeville is headed by the Dailey Bros. who were features last year with Barnum & Bailey's circus. These clever young men are considered ancing, and you would not believe the wonderful things they do unless you saw them yourself. The most sensa- tional acrobats seen this year.
 Mabel Hatch, with her eccentric com edy monologue. Is different than any comed:enne you ever saw, and she is considered the funniest woman in vau- devi,le. Miss Hatch is a most coraely young woman in everyday life, but when sns puts on her comedy makeup she looks more like Flora Finch than anything else we can think of See her and laugh
 Ha,len & Hayes are one of vaude- vflle's standard acts, and season after season sees them delighting their au- diences. This comedy team know how to put over a good soag or story and tfSTy are tae kini of act that make you. glad you came. There are none better in their line.
 A side splitting comedy extrava- ganza in two parts, featuring Ray Inond & Cavariy. is The Adventures of Ifnbu ger and Schweitzer, and to see these two Dutch comedians capture Mexico is a laugh among laughs. Other films today are The Dawn of Romance with Ethel Grandin, and A Gypsy Ro- nance, with Dot Davenport and WaIIy Reid. Come early if you want a seat; always cool inside at the Auditorium.

As the 5.15 D. m. car Saturday for Yantic was approaching HarlaQds Corner, Lester Howard of Yantic lost his balance while reaching for his hat which had blown off. ; He fell from the car just at the curve. striking his head against an electric pole and cutting gash in his forehead. The car coming up behind transferred its passengers to the forward car and MT. Howard and his wife were taken to Backus hospi- ital He was found to be badly shaken up and had a cut over the left ear. an abrasion in the forehead. It was thought best for him to remain over night at the hospital. although 1t was not apparent that his injuries were serious.
