The Minstrel Show

A packed house, intense enthusiasm, a swell orchestra, months and months of patient practice combined to make the Treadwell minstrel show last night at the Lyric a complete success in every way. Even Tom should feel sat. isfed
 The show followed the usual stereo typed formula, beginning with the musical circle with the bones on the right and tambos on the left-great, big, black, ugly coons, full of fun, and the grave, thoughtful gentlemen in the middle. After this came the specialties by members of the company. These consisted of songs and music and musical songs, juggling, buck and wing dancing, Sandow exhibitions, wrestling matches, etc., etc. Special ability was shown in tbe last two features men. toned
 The show will be repeated tonight, by request, at Juneau.

An exchange espe cihlly cOmmends two points in the report of the recent grand jury. One is that a special fund be placed at the disposal of the U. s. marshal for the purpose of hunting down criminals, and the other that natives be punished for soliciting liquor. About fifty per cent of the cases of criminal nature that take up the time of the federal courts in Alaska arise from the fact that the natives have a liking for the white mau's whiskey. The government invests thousands of dollars each year in dig ging up these cases and bringing them Co trial, and has a corps of trained ex- perts to find them, for if they do not, there is always a danger that they will lose their jobs to others more expert. So, it is not strange that many a poor Indian is led into evil ways, and a "peddlern is baled into court, where he is tried and very often convicted upon the evidence of the Indian victim and the government agent, who in some cases is suspected of knowing in ad- vance that a crime is going to be com mitted. Any one who has thought seriously of the matter will now admit that the federal plan for separating the Che Alaska Indian from liquor is a flat, dismal failure in so far as the natives are concerned, and an internal nuisance to the white men who are forced to spend days aud months of valuable time listening to the foolish tales. And now for Alaskans to ask that still further tecbnicalities be tackled on Co the matter looks like the climax of folly.

The first frein months visited Doug las at about o'clock last Sunday morning, when the changing of the alarm bell rudely rousted the citizens from their beauty sleep. The blaze oc cured in a com bination Russian bath and chicken house belonging to Fred Kronquist on the upper side of St. Ann avenue. The building was a complete loss, land the only occupants, a number of stately old hens, were cremated. The origin of the fire is a deep mystery. Nightwatchman Cavanaugh was down in Indian town when the fire broke out, and his hurried race for the fire bell was delayed by a ten-inch snow. lt was this snow and the darkness that delayed Mayor O'Connor in bis climb up the bill to turn on the salt water. The mayor is a regular goat at noun tain climbing, but when he reached the tank Sunday morning it was pretty sickly goat. The fire boys fought viciously, aud some of them got very wet. The occasion was fraught with lessons that will work for good.

WHEN WILL
NEW OFFICERS
TAKE CHARGE.
CHARTER SAYS TEN DAYS AF.
TER ELECTION; STATUTE SAYS
FIRST TUESDAY m MAY -
WHICH is RIGHT?

There is some controversy over
the time the newly elected city Of
ticials take office. The charter says
that they shall take their seats ten
days after the election, and W. l.
Cruce, who was president of the
board of freeholders which drafted
the charter, states that it is manda-
tory for them to do so.
w. r. Roberts, on the other hand
states that the statutes of 1910 pro-
vide that they shall take office on
the first Tuesday in May after the
election, and that statute supersedes
the provisions made by the charter
The newly elected officials are not
anxious to assume charge before the
customary time, but want to comply
with the law. They may take the
oath of office today, if their conten-
tions are found to be right, and hold
off until the first Tuesday in next
month before taking charge.

MORE MEN HEARD TODAY.

Tulsa, Okla, April LITTLE first
case on the criminal court docket in
the federal court will come to trial this
morning. Several cases on the Grim
inal docket were disposed of yester-
day when pleas of guilty were enter
ed. most of them in introducing cases.
Those who pleaded guilty and the
fines imposed by Judge Cotterall of
the western district, were Billy

500; F. V. Walker, introducing, four
months and 500; Steven B. Sykes,
embezzlement of post office funds, IS
months; Sam Finley introducing, six
months and 500.
The first case to be tried this morn
ing will be the one of Frank Hamilton

A conspiracy charge against Bert
ElllOl anu ". Y. OullSDlOOu, dlltScu
bootleggers and gamblers, of Ardmore,
and George Brewer, farmer, who
lives near Ardmore, is the case of
chief interest that will be called to
trial today. 1t is alleged that the
three defendants entered into a con
spiracy sometime during August last
to kill Dick Hignight, United States
deputy marshal who is stationed at
Ardmore.
The charge of misusing the United
States mails against George d. Key, a
prominent Tulsa attorney and candi-
date for attorney general at the last
state election, is set for hearing on
Thursday. However, it is not likely
that the case will come to trial before

Newcastle, April IA Zeppelin
raid was made in the Tyne district
of Northumberland county last night.
1t appears that the Zeppelin reached
Blyth from across the North sea at
about $40 o'clock, passed over Blyth
and Cramington and proceeded to
the neighborhood of Seatonburn.
Slight damage is reported.
A dispatch to the Exchange Tele-
graph from Newcastle says the Yep
pelin passed over Blyth, the Tyne,
Walsen and Cramlington, in North
cumberland. and Seaton and Burns,
in Durham, dropping bombs at each
place.
The district raided by the Zeppelin
is one of the most important indus
trial centers of the kingdom. The
chief town, Newcastle on-Tyne, is not
only large seaport, but is one of
Brtains biggest coal exporting and
shipbuilding centers. The celebrated
Armstrong Works at Elswick may al
most be regarded as the English
equivalent of the Krupps'. Here the
building of the largest warships, with
all their armor, guns, machinery and
fittings is carried on, and torpedoes
and submarines and all the appliance
es for scientific warfare on land and
sea are produced on a great scale.
