Gov. Goodrich's board of
mediation in the street car strike
has failed.
The three members of the
board packed their grips and left
town last night after announcing
that since they couldn't force
the two parties to come together
there was nothing else left for
them (the board) but to go
home.
But before going they issued
a statement. And in that state
ment they made it plain that the
street car employees are entitled
to all that they asked in the line
OF wages.
Here is what they said:
'InaSmuch as the en-
ploves conceded that the
union should not be recog-
nized, it is the unanimous
opinion of this board, pres
ent living conditions being
considered. that the COM
pany should have granted

BASEBALL MEN GET OUT FOR \
 GOOD PRACTICE:
Four Teams Will Probably Be Organized on the Channel; Game on
 Next SuIday.

Eighteen men turned out for base ball practice yesterday on the ball grounds at the Basin and two full teams were secured to play a scrub game which resulted in a twelve to eleven score of eight innings. The men who were out yesterday will most of them try out for positions on the Juneau team, and the pros poets are bright for an excellent team this year, if a good catcher can be found.
 Reports from Perseverance are to the effect that the grounds there are free from snow and the team will be organized and start prac- tice within few days. Thane will also have team this year. and it is possible that team will be or ganized at Douglas.
 The grounds at Treadwell can not be used this year on account of the recent cave-in at that place, but possibly thet Douglas grounds can be put in shape. It is expected that Juneau team will be put in the field in time for a practice game next Sunday, either with the Per severance or some other team from the channel.

MOVIE THEATRE ATTRACTIONS
GENERAL FILMDom NEWS

Fatty and Mabel Adrift," a three reel Keystone comedy at the Palace
 is one of the best things seen at that theatre for some time and last night the two audiences 'ate it up" Fatty Arbuckle and Mabel Normand presented this comedy soon after going under Mack Scnnets management, and unlike most of the Keystone comedies three reels in length, this comedy is full of good stuff all the way. Fatty's dog plays a most important part and the realistic scenic features are es- pccially thrilling. The dramatic fea- ture is "The Corner" with George Fawcett and Willard Mack, a story of cornering food products and the suffer- ing following. There are two little chil- dren in this play that appeal, and in fact the feature is a good one, new plot and a most peculiar ending. This double bill will run tonight, Tuesday and Wednesday.

HAZEL DAWN AT THE DREAM.

Hazel Dawn is by all odds the best thing in the picture now being shown at the Dream, The Saicslady." Will lard Mack, who wrote the play for Paramount must have had day off when he prepared this production, for it lacks the vim usually required and seen in his plays. There are none Of the ingenious Mack complications and few really big situations, but Hazel Dawn is the star and she makes good. as usual, and as she has big follow ing here "The Saleslady" will draw big tonight and tomorrow. Miss Dawn takes the part of country girl who goes to the big city and as the sales lady and chorus girl she meets the hundred and one temptations that have beset the path of every heroine of fic- tion and pictures since the invention of story plots. Ziegfeld's Follies appear
 in this production and lend real the- atrical atmosphere to the play.

F FASHION SHOW AT THE ORPHEUM.

A veritabe fashion show is the Vita graph feature "The Shop Girl" which opened at the Orpheum la st night with Edith Storey, Antonio Moreno. Thomas Mills and in fact an excellent cast. Edith Storey again demonstrates her ability as an actress of unusual versa tility ranging from comedy to tragedy. Antonio Moreno is happily cast as Pet CT, the son of a wealthy New Yorker, and as usual when these two stars play together, he wins her at the very last after all kinds of excitement. But to return to the fashion show-there is a treat for the ladies of Juneau. The movie man doesn't exactly know whether the latest styles are shown or not, but there is some style to the glad rags that are displayed and the living models certainly can wear those togs. One gown which Miss Storey wears, particularly worthy of mention, is a black chiffon embroidered with huge flowers in pastel shades of silk. The skirt is made with a long court train which is detachable, etc. 'Thc Shop Girl' is a good show. but it is on for one night more only, tonight.

Ahearn Knocked Out.

Jeff Smith, middleweight of New York, knocked out Young Ahearn of Albany, N Y, in the fifth round of their scheduled twenty-round fight in New Orleans last Tuesday Both claimed the American middle weight championship. The knock out blow, which was a left hook to the solar plexus, was delivered after one minute of sparring in the fifth round.
 Up to the knockout the fighters appeared to be evenly matched. with Ahearn on the offensive most of the time. Smith seemed to have little trouble lodging his opponents blows.
 Ahearn was not seriously injured. He was substituted for Les Darcy as Smiths opponent after Governor Pleasants had refused to permit Darcy to fight in Louisiana, owing ito charges that he was stacker. '"
