 CONVICTED

SKAGwAy, Dec. o.-As result of investigations which were made by Special Agent George D. Nand, who was acting directly under in- structions of Gov. ]. F. A. Strong, United States Deputy Marshal Frank Cook last week arrested ]. F. Anderson, proprietor of the Pantheon, and John A. Bender and William Childs, proprietors of the Mascot, the charges against the three men being that of selling in- toxicating liquor without license.
 The cases were tried this week before United States Commissioner Rasmnson. and the three defend- ants found guilty.
 Anderson was fined SSoo.oo and costs amounting to S57.5o, while Bender and childs were fined $2oo each and costs of SI2.45 each.
 The minimum fine provided for selling liquor without a license is S1oo and the maximum S2ooo for the first offense.
 In passing sentence on Anderson, the court stated that he was an old
 an in the business and cOnse- quently knew that in violating the law he was liable, and for this req son, and for further reason that he had amassed a large amount of money by reason of his business, he would fine him the amount stated above.
 As Childs and Bender had only been engaged in the business since September, the court figured that had they paid for license for the time they had been conducting their business, it would have amounted to s1oo, and so he add ed this to the minimum fine and imposed it on the two men who had pleaded guilty to having sold intoxicating liquor without a li- cenSe.

According to Judge Jennings Who Refuses to Express
 Opinion on Question
DISTRICT COURT WILL
 TAKE NO ACTION NOW
Judicial Action Must Wait Until Congress Has De-
 cided on Prohibition

The application of the Juneau Liquor Company for a retail li- Quor license in the city of Juneau for a period from July 1. 1917, was presented to the district court yesterday, and the same was denied by the court.
 The object of the application being made at this time was to learn, if possible. the attitude of the court on the question whether liquor licenses would be granted subsequent to the expiration of those now in force which will ex- pire June 30, next year.
 The court said that the same procedure would be followed next July, that is, an election or ex- pression from the residents would be had as to whether they did not or did want liquor sold within the city as has ba1EHeHr in the past; that the cleo of November 7th was matter go- ing to prohibition over the entire territory and that in regard to this the National Congress would or would not in all probability en- act legislation that would govern the action of the court. The court said furthermore. that it had only the power to grant li- censes for not more than one year at time, and if a license was now given the Juneau Liquor Company it would put them in possession of a license for long CT period.
 What elements of uncertainty that may exist suggested the court, could possibly be properly handled by the delegate in Con- gress in asking that body to pass legislation which would not ham per or in any way work an injuS- tice upon the liquor dealers of Alaska.
 ! Just what the future holds in store in relation to the matter is now purely coniectural. The Alaska Legislature may or may not memoralize Congress in the premises. Congress may, 1t petitioned by the legislature re- fuse to act one way or the other.
 So the situation is simply this. Those liquor dealers now in busi- ness who desire renewals and those contemplating engaging in the business may petition the district court next year and, if after an expression from the people, it is their desire that liquor be sold, the court will take action in allowing or refusing the applicants as it elects. In the meantime it remains to be seen what, if anything, the Territorial Legislature or the Congress Of the United States may do in the premises. Dispatch.

Before the convention was called to
order the Coliseum was so full that
the fire department took charge Of the
entrances and permitted no more to
come in. William J. Bryan was
stopped at the door, Senator James

rescued him. Then the Nebraskan got
his usual uproarious reception.
Chairman James raped the conven-
ton to order.
Rev. w. j. Hardesty, chaplain OF
the Missouri senate, offered prayer.
Senator Thompson then moved a
suspension OF the rules to permit Mr..
Bryan to speak. When the motion
was put there were some "Noes," but
the chairman ruled two-thirds had
voted in favor.
Senator James introduced Mr..
Bryan as zone of the leading citizens
of the world and Americas greatest

In spite of the distracting influence
of the mob at the doors and the laughs
that rose occasionally when a bedrag
gled leader finally forced his way into
the convention hall Mr.. Bryan held
his audience.
Applause was frequent and thunder

The crowd fairly lifted the roof.
They let out their lungs in national
hymns, "Suwanee River" My Old Ken

that other old political anthem, "Hail,
Hail, the Gangs All Here" Then they
burst into "Tipperary" and rendered
it at the top of 1000 voices. It was
some chant. It was great congrega-

GIxnn Is the kexnoter.

In hall gay with flags and bunting
and with pictures Of party leaders,
past and present, looking down upon
them from medallfons around the bal
cony, the delegates to the Democratic
national convention assembled on
scheduled time Wednesday. The pro-
ceedings were, formally started when
William F. McCombs, chairman OF the
national committee, assembled the plat
form and raped for order. He melted
the first burst of enthusiasm Of the
convention when, in a short address in
PRODUCING the temporary chairman, he
predicted victory for the party in the
fall.
The keynote speech was delivered
by former Gov. Martin 81. Glynn of
New York, the temporary chairman.
He was frequently interrupted by APP
plause when some point in his speech
stirred the enthusiasm of the dele
gates. His eulogy of President Wilson
started the biggest demonstration of
the day. Following Governor Glynn's
speech, committees on credentials, per-
manent organization, rules, and resOlu-
tons were announced, and that days
work was done.
The delegates were little slow in
assembling for Thursdays session, and
it was almost noon when Temporary
Chairman Glynn called the convention
to order. Permanent Chairman Ollie
James was escorted to the chair and
introduced. He Immediately launched
into his address. He lauded the presi-
dent and defended his policies, partic-
ularly in regard to the controversy
with Germany over the submarine
warfare and our relations with
Mexico. An enthusiastic demonstra-
ton greeted his praise of President
Wilson, which lasted more than twenty
minutes. At the close of Chairman
James speech the convention took
recess until nine o'clock in the eve
ming.
Before the nominating speeches be-
gan at the evening session the Demo

the advent of harmony in their ranks
was celebrated. The leader Of this
demonstration Of good will was Will
liam Jennings Bryan.
Wilson Praised by Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan was cheered enthusi-
astically as he entered the press Sec
ton with Mrs. Bryan shortly after
nine o'clock. A few minutes later,
upon the motion Of Senator Thompson
of Kansas, the convention suspended
the rules amid tumultuous good feeling
and invited Mr.. Bryan to the rostrum.
A committee conducted Mr.. Bryan
amid wild cheering to the side OF
Chairman James.
Mr.. Bryan launched into a speech
lauding the administration of the pres
ident.
Following Mr.. Bryan's address the
convention got down to the real BUSH
ness for which it had been convened
and the denomination of President
Wilson and Vice President Marshall
was quickly put through as related
above. The convention took recess
until eleven o'clock Friday morning,
when the report of the committee on
resolutions was presented and the
platform was adopted with little dis
cussion and practically no opposition.

that the movement for the nominal
