THE JUNEAU THEATRE
 TO OPEN SATURDAY

Juneau Theatre. Juneau's latest playhouse, has received its finishing touches and the management will give the initial performance next Saturday night. It is to open with high class photo-drama from the Mutual produc- CTS. A local stock company under the direction of Henry McIver is also re- hearsing for a production that is to be put on in the near future. It is the intention to book from time to time outside travelling companies.
 The Juneau Theatre is one of the best if not the best playhouse in Alas. ka and has a seating capacity exceed ing that of any other theatre in town. The theatre has. been constructed for the legitimate attractions and is amply equipped to serve such travelling com panies as are likely to make the North for some time. It is neatly and com fortably furnished. There has been no crowding in the placing Of the opera chairs. and every seat in the house commands a good view of the stage.
 Ashby and Endleman are the pro- prietors and managers of the new place and they have un- doubtedly struck a favorable oppor- tunity to launch their venture. Mir. Brakeman recently returned from the States where he has been securing at- fractions.

JENNINGS LECTURES
 GRAND JURY LOBBY

Receiving what he believed to be reliable information that an attempt was being made to Influence the ac- tion of the grand jury that is in ses. sion | Ketchikan upon matters that were Icing preseDteG te7it for -investi- gation, Judge Robert W. Jennings called the jury into the court room last Saturday and delivered a notable charge to 1t.
 It is said that Judge Jennings had the Summers case in mind when he delivered the charge, though that is not stated in the. .Ketchikan paper from which the excerpts given were taken:
 The courts charge in part follows; Gentlemen of the Grand Jury:
 It has reached my ears that efforts have been, and are being made by de- signing persons-persons not under oath-persons not interested in the question as to whether the laws of your country have been, or have not been, violated-have been holding long and intimate conversations with some of your members, with view to influencing the action which you will sooner or later take under your oaths.
 Statements of that fact have been borne to me by so many persons that can no longer close my mind to them. It seems necessary, therefore, that should remind you that such eff forts constitute contempt of court. They constitute a contempt of court in the person making those efforts, and for any juror willingly to lend ear

JURY REFUSES TO
 INDICT SUMMERS

KETCHIKAN, April SO.-Today the grand jury brought in not true bill against c. M. Summers charged with violation of the National banking laws and refused to reconsider their action although they had been strennously urged to do so. Attorneys for the de- fense says this will end for all time the prosecution begun against the de. fehdant.
 In 1911 Summers was indicted for violations of the National banking laws the indictment containing 52 counts. Acting upon the advice of his attorney he refused to plead to the charge eleotlng to stand on his rights and the contention of his attorney that there must be a separate indictment for each alleged offense. Judge Thos. R. Lyons adjudged him guilty without trial and sentenced him to five years.
 The case. was taken~on appeal to the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit of California which court sustained the judgment of Judge Lyons. -r
 Shackleford & Bayless, attorneys for the defendant, took the matter before the Supreme Court on writ of cer- tiorari where it was argued by Albert Fink. The Supreme Court re versed both the Appellate and District Courts and remanded the case to the District Court of the First Division for final disposal
 The case was again submitted to the last Juneau grand jury which re- turned not a true bill. District Attor- ney Rustgard charged irregularities in summoning the grand jury and the De. partment of Justice ordered the case to the grand jury.
