Mrs two young daughters to school in England

out of his private purse.

FAULKNER TELLS WHY
 PRISONERS DO NOT WORK

The Department of Justice has ob- iected to the employment of Federal prisoners on the government roads, solely because the department does not want to incur the expense of em- ploying the extra guards that would be required for such work, according to H. L. Faulkner, former United States marshal for the First division, who addressed the city council on the matter last night. This fact was brought out, Mir. Faulkner said through a talk with R. J. w. Brewster inspector of prisoners for the De- partment of Justice who visited Ju- neau last week. Mr. Brewster said that if the Alaska Road Commission would undertake to furnish the guards he had little doubt but that the De- partment of Justice would permit the employment of prisoners on the gov ernment roads of Alaska.
 The purpose of Mir. Faulkners ad' dress to the council last night was 10 have the city government make for. mai application to the Alaska Road Commission for the appointment Of a man employed by the commission on the roads who could be deputi2ed Dy the marshal's office to take charge or the prisoners.
 The city council assured Mir, Faux ner that the matter would be taken up with the Road Commission.
