Government claims to have correspondence
passing between Silva. Henry Blumenfeld
Sciama and George Blumenfeld, who II
also associated with the Scnma company
and the Paris house. The three are said
10 be close knsmen. The correspondence.
which is said to be OF a particularly
damaging nature. was turned over by
silva 10 the customs agents who visited
him TO subpoena some OF his books and
papers
silva, thinking that the subpoena called
for his correspondence as well. turned
over all his letters When he learned his
mistake he tried to get them back through
a motion made before Judge Charles A.
Hough In the United States District Court
His plea was that the letters were OF an
entirely personal nature, having no bear
ing on the investigation then under way.
Judge Hough looked over the letters and
denied the request.

BOSTON|ANS ID GIVE BUT TWO
 MORE SHOWS
POPULAR PLAYERS RESERVE TWO OF BEST FEATURES
 FOR FAREWELL.

Only two more shows are to be given by the Juvenile Bostonians
 in Fairbanks, and. judging by the ! crowded house that greeted these popular players at last nights per ! formance of My Tango Maid" it i is to be expected that the last two shows will be crowded to the doors. Tonight will be reproduced one 1 of the most popular of all musical comedies, King Dodo,' which made
 Raymond Hitchcock famous as a comedian. The final production is asserted to be a rare treat. some thing entirely new to Fairbanks ! audiences. It will be The Cabaret ] Revue" which will be given at the l Auditorium tomorrow night.
 My Tango Maid" was produced last Monday night with so much sue l cess that the public wanted it put on a second time. Accordingly it was presented again last night. when practically every seat was taken. On last Tuesday night, the beau
 tiful yachting comedy, with it's un- usual scenic effects. was produced. i The song. T Love You, California"
 made one of the many hits of the evening
 On Wednesday night, King Do . do" was produced here for the first time. and that popular play created ! the same sensation that it has al ways produced i'll the years that it has delighted American au diences. Its success on "Wednesday night and the demand for it's pres ertation again. caused the manage ] ment to arrange to put it on again tonight.
 Thursday nights production was that beautiful operetta, Baron Humbug," in which every player scored hits. This was followed on Friday night by the Dream Girl" in which the scene is laid in the ] Balkans. which is touched with war on the north and may soon be in Tolved throughout in the great con- l flict. The scenery and the beauti i ful costumes were quite in harmony 1 with the delightful songs i On Saturday night, 'Fantana" was i reproduced second time by special request. and it enjoyed a much l larger house than il had the first time
 l. is understood that the Ft. Glib l lon band will be present at each of i the last two performances. and will i play between acts.
 The promoter of the new Tolovana roWnsite, 10 be known as Brooks, offered 10 give a town lot to the l young woman who would be voted 1 the most popular of the Bostonians i players on Saturday night. and
 another lot to the girl getting the
 most votes cast by the audience on
 Sunday night
 1 On Saturday night the lot was won by Miss Patsie Henry, with Miss Thom Hellen being a close second. Miss Helen was only three votes behind the winner.
 Last night Miss Dode Garfield won the prize. In this contest Miss i Thom Helen came second again being behind the winner by only nine
 votes.

ROUPE FREED BY JURY
FOR KILLING HITTSON

Ed Roupe who killed Jess Hittson
last week Thursday night, was freed
on Friday by coroner's jury. He en-
tertained a plea of self defense and
this was sustained. This action of the
jury is not necessarily final, but at
present it seems improbable that the
case will he taken up in the courts.
This murder was the tragic ending
of family quarrel which had been
going on for some time. Mr.. Hittson
had taken Roupe's first wife away
from him, marrying her himself.
Roupe married the sister of the first
wife and trouble continued between
the two families. Hittson who was
nearly twice as large as Roupe, SEEM
ed from the evidence to have, played
the part of unwarranted aggressor.
On Thursday night he made an attack
upon Roupe, and, unable to get away,
Roupe used his gun in self defense.
The jury was out about three hours.
The decision seems to meet with gen
eral approval among those who are
acquainted with the full particulars of
the case.-Williams News.
