of age.
After the races there were three teams
of gold miners who played two games
of base ball and in the evening there
was grand open-air dance. a balloon
ascension and confetti carnival that
lasted until long after midight. Dur
ing these events trained nurses were
kept in constant attendance to minister
to the children. and the committee on
transportation arranged free automo-
bile service for all the women and
children of the small towns nearby.
The town of Anchorage was born
only last summer with the coming Of
the railroad. and the baby municipality
was hardly a month old before it cele-
brated its first Fourth of July. place
was cleared of stumps in the center of
the city of tents for a base ball
grounds. and this served is the scene
of the other sports of the occasion. There
were ball teams of men and ball teams
of women; and races of every descrip-
ton. American flags few from many
of the tents and streamer bearing the
words welcome to Our Fourth Cele-
bration" was hung from two pine trees
across the main street. The street was
dirt road, but that made no differ
ence.
The fat mems race was held on that
road as were also the races of the girls
and boys. 1 have a photograph of the
Anchorage girls base ball team. The
members are lusty maids and matrons
dressed in bloomerS that come to the
knee, with white MILDLY blouses and
white caps or hats. They wear tennis
shoes.
The Fourth of July came six days be-
fore the first government sale of lots.
No one then had a fixed habitation or a
home. The most of the people lived
on the flats in tents. waiting for the
government to lay out the town. There
were perhaps a thousand tents, and
three or four times that many inhabi-
tants. All were expecting to make
their fortunes in selecting good lots
and growing up with the town. When
the auction occurred the first lot
brought SS25 and the total sales of that
day up to more than 100000.
Since then the people have shown much
public spirit and patriotism. The town

 STARTS BANK RUN

CHICAGO. April 2S.-The excited and fearful boast of 8 schoolboy to his playmates that his 'paw said the bank hadn't much money" started a run on the perfectly solvent Logan Square Trust and Savings Bank yes terday which lasted late into the night
 At no time was there the slightest danger to the bank. About 2 o'clock when officers Of the institution had awakened to the fact than an actual run was on. they telephoned down town and within a few minutes ov- CT $50,0OO in cash was on its way from the Central Trust Company Of nlionis and the Standard Trust and Savings Company to add to the sup ply of money already in the vaults.
 Money On Request
 As each frightened depositor ap- preached the cashier. he was given his money. Many who had dropped into line soon convinced themselves of the canard that had been so in- nocently started and left without asking for their deposits. By nine o'clock at night only few were in line, and officials of the bank pre- dicted that when the institution open ed in the morning those who had withdrawn their money would be back with 1t for deposit

KRAUSE FOUND GUILTY; THIRD
 CASE MONDAY

Guilty. was the verdict returned by the jury in the case of Edward ! Krause. charged with Kidnapping Will liam Christie. The verdict was re- turend last night shortly after me o'clock. The jury deliberated about three hours The verdict was no sur prise as 1t was the prediction of all who heard the testimony and argu- ments in the case that no other yer dict could be returned.
 The next case against Krause will be taken up Monday morning. No announcement has been made by the district attorney as to which of the charges against Krausc wil be con- sidered next. although in all prob ability the charge or fraudulent use of the mails" will be the one started Monday
 In this case Krause is charged with having used the mails to send a forged mortgage to Vancouver from Juneau. The mortgage is one alleged to have been forged by Kreuse and signed by Y. Yamamoto and Krause sent the mortgage Co Vancouver to have 1t foreclosed.

EDUCATIONAL LECTURE
 GIVEN BY MRS. LEWIS
 REVOLUTION IS SHOWN

That there is Q revolution going on in educational circles today so far as methods and the object of educa- tion is concerned was clearly demon strated last night by Mrs Lewis in her lecture on Dr. Montesorri and modern education.
 After a brief description of the circumstances under which Dr. Mon' tesorrl came to discover and intro duce this new method, Mrs. Lewis proceeded with discussion of the application of some of the ideas H. frustrating the same with interesting stories from real life
 With reference to the attitude of American educators on the question of industrial education. the speaker discussed at some length the position of Prof John Dewey whose name Is household word among teachers and scholars.
 Prof. Dewey says that the child should be educated through indus trial processes and not for industrial processes.
 "One of the chief obstacles to the progress of the race" says Prof. Dewey, has been the dogmatic hab- it of mind, the belief that some principals and ideas have such a val ue and authority that they are to be accepted without question and with out revision"
 He thinks that neither facts nor the ability to do this or that thing should be taught, but rather the scientific or experimental habit of mind.
