 The trip from Nome to Solomon was made against the advice of the Nome life saving crew. Father La Fortune, who went with him. believ- ed that they were going to almost certain death, and. while ready to take the risk himself, advised against it. He said, "If Mir Salinas dies, there will be one man to die, but if we go there will probably be four" La Fortune. however. that his inter est was in the safety of MT.

PROTECTING HIS FAMILY
Franzen's Thought Was for the Isolated Wife and His
 Children.

T did not hunt krause for blood money. l hastened home when l learned that he was at large to give my family the protection that they had right to expect from a husband and a father" said Arvid Franzen, who killed the outlaw, in state ment to The Empire. Nor was l acquainted with him." continued the speaker. q knew him by sight, hay ing seen him at meetings and other places, but he never was in my house in his life, and I never spoke to him until I told him to stand and then asked him if he was Krause when l saw him in front of my house at Doty's Cove Sunday Those were my first and last words to him. "
 Was Not Man Hunting
 "The reward that was offered for krause never occurred to me when saw Krause. l had had no inten- tion of leaving my home to hunt for him. probably should never have seen him if he had not come to the house, yet there was a feel ing that he would come"
 MT. Franzen said that he had had a very peculiar presentment that Krause would come to his house. He accounts for it as probably inspired by the knowledge that his family was there alone. Although 1 have had the homestead at Doty's Cove for nearly two years" said Mr Franzen q do not believe that Krause knew reason to know that he knew or cared anything about me- for. as stat ed, we were not acquainted I had seen him, as l said, many times and had disliked him. 1 have met him on the waterfront, and though il has always been my custom to speak to a seafaring man when I met him on the road alone, l never had any desire to speak to Krause. His dom ineering, selfish look was repulsive to me-"
 MT. Franzen says that the fear that Krause would show up at his house caused him to take extra pre- caution to bar the door and to put the lights out after dark, Friday and Saturday.
 Intention Was To Take Him Alive
 Tt was my intention to take Krause alive when I covered him with the rifle,' said MT. Franzen, but it was not purpose to take any chances. I was not at all excited or unnerved. When 1 asked him if he were Krause, l gave him plenty of time to surrender, but instead he be- gan looking for place to escape. He shot quick glances at my wife,

 ACT CAUSES A
 BIG DISCUSSION
Committee Hearing Last Night Brings Out Many Angles to
 Employment.

At committee hearing held last night in the Senate Chamber the Compensation Act and the proposed changes included in the bill present. ed by Senator Sutherland came in for considerable discussion.
 The meeting was called to order by Senator Sutherland who stated it's
 object and called for expressions of
 opinion by the attorneys and others
 present. after the bill had been read
 section by section
 The principal part of the bill seems to be to do away with alleged dis
 crimination on the part of the min
 ing companies against married men,
 The contention is made that on ac-
 count of the old bill not providing
 for the payment of compensation for
 single men, without dependents, kill ed while working, that the mining companies favor that class of labor. This contention was strongly de- nied by Manager G. T. Jackson, of the Alaska Gastineau, P. R. Bradley
 of the Alaska Juneau and Treadwell. O. $, and S. Hellenthal These men con tended that the married man was ! more steady and less prone to take dangerous risks and that the mar ried men make the best employees )n that account. The proposed bill provides that for
 every single person killed, where no dependents are known the sum of S1,000 shall be paid into the Terri
 torial school fund by the company employing him at the time of his death. It was pointed out that of l2 deaths in this section during the past year, only three had been sin gle men, the balance being married and the families received the com
 pensation provided by law
 Samuel Deschamps, single man, | appeared and claimed that he was not getting square deal under the
 law, and that while he was not con tributing to the support of his father | md mother, he considered them en- titled to benefits in case of his death.
 Mir. Hellenthal also stated that the bill had been drawn from the bills of other states and that the highest compensation paid in any state had l been increased twenty per cent by | the Alaska law. He also stated that | he mining companies paid out more
 money than formerly, but that it vent to the men themselves and not Tor litigation. which was the end de- sired by the mining companies.

PIXIES TRIUMPH WAS BIG SUCCESS
 BY CITY PUPILS

The Fairies and Pixies invaded
 Juneau for night and again scat tered, no one knows where. From out of the nothingness they came and into the nothingness they dis
 appeared. The -looked-for time arrived and the school chil- dren of Juneau last night presented Pixies Triumph" and a select pro-
 gram of songs and music to a large audience in Elks' hall.
 For weeks the school children have been working hard under the direction of the Misses Eakin, Sow erby, Wheeler and Sullivan pre- pairing for the great event and last night, shortly before seven o'clock, fairies and pixies could be seen coming from every section of the city, all converging at Elks' hall, to be followed shortly afterwards by their parents and friends.
 The program was opened by a concert of nine numbers by the nigh school orchestra under tho di- rection of Prof. !. Sumpf, and the
 the high school choral society, un-
 Ter the direction of Prof. F. Han- dley Wells The numbers were
 difficult but were exceptionally well rendered, showing the benefit this branch of the training has been
 to the children.
 Following the program three lct operetta, "The Pixies Triumph,
 lcted by the school children of the grades from the Third to the Eighth, was presented.
 Every one taking part in this olaylet was well trained and plain ly showed the effects of hard work md application. The solos were well rendered by all of the principals and the chorus work was excellent. The Pixies Dance by eight little boys was exceptionally good and kept the audience in a
 gale of laughter The Dance oi
 the Butterfly" by Gertrude Walto-
 nen. Jack Wilcox and Siiri Wuotil- la, was especially meritorious. Lydia Kashevaroff who acted as
 Pixie King and also as Golden Hair, the Fairy Queen Dancer, is ! worthy of especial metnion as she | was put into the part of the king two days before the show on ac count of the regularly chosen kinf being unable to take the part Xenia Christensen, as the Fairy Queen, Genevieve Jonas. as the | Queens Favorite, and Ralph Wag goner, Wayne Summers and Johr
 Taylor as the kings assistants
 were all good and their solos were well rendered.
 The entire operetta went off with out a single hitch and was wei worth the effort the teachers have
 made to make it a success A goot | substantial sum of money was rais ed towards the purchase of a piano | for the new school building.
