WOULD GUST
 POLICE CHIEF

The fight to oust Chief of Po- lice Harding is co be carried to the federal court. Yesterday J. H. Cobb filed two suits against Hard ing. The first suit is for heavy damages under the title of Mary Medaini Ys. Harding. The plaintiff alleges that she accompanied her husband on board his fishing boat, and while returning home was ac- costed by the police chief who, af- ter knocking her down, took her to the jail where in q dazed condi- tion she was further mistreated and fined $5 under an assumed name.
 The second complaint signed by the same plaintiff asks the judge of the federal court to remove Harding from office.
 The police department claims the plaintiff was q former occupant of the red light district, has an un- savorv reputation. They claim there was no assault but the chic did have to use slight force in nr- resting the woman while intoXicat- ed upon the street.-Juneau Dis. patch.

IF THE
 CITY COUNCIL

Owing to the absence from town of Mayor Ashley, A. c. Blanchard was voted to act as chairman at the regular meeting of the city couT cil last night. Roll call showed that Wm. Wright was absent.
 Litt.e business was transacted b the council. The Public Works and Property Committee, N. o. Hardy chairman. reported a small house had been secured from the vicinity of the court house which will be re- moved to the skating rink where it will be used as 8 sort of club room where skaters can put on and take off their skates and where a fire will be kept burning during the skating hours.
 The treasurer's report was read and a number of bills against the city were allowed.
 Phil. Abrahams, representing Mrs. E. T. McBrien, of She Alaska Gen- eral Electric Co.,, stated that in as much as many people were leaving town for the winter and many phones had been taken out of private homes and business houses Mrs. McBrien requests the council to help pay the salary of the night telephone operator who is kept on duty largely for reasons of fire protection. In case of an alarm, cell tral is always called first and it is her duty to ring the automatic bell which recently was installed by the city. Mrs. McBrien stated through Phil. Abrahams that if it were not for this alarm system she would not keep an operator on duty after F o'clock at night, hence she believed the city should help pay the salary. MT. Kennedy pointed out that the hours after 12 o'clock were the mOd dangerous in case of fire. The cOun- cil decided to let the matter rest until the Fire and Water commit tee could interview Mrs. McBrien.

UNPALATABLE TRUTH

Sanderson was on visit to Simpkins. and in due course, na- turally, he was shown the family album.
 "Yes," said Simpkins, as he turned the leaves. that's my wife's second cousins aunt Susan. And that's Cousin James, and that's a friend of ours, and that-oh, now, who do you think that is?"
 Don't know" said Sandelson.
 Well, that's my wife's first hus- band, nv boy"
 Great Scott! What 8 perfect brainless-looking idiot. But excuse me, old fellow, I didn't know your wife was widow when you married her"
 "She wasn't" said Simpkins stiff ly. That, sir, is a portrait of my self at the age of twenty."-Tit- Bits, <IT, S

ORGANIZATION
 PLANS FOOD
 DRIVE FRIDAY

The different captains of the Skagwav food saving organization are making plans for the drive for signatures to the food pledge which will take place Friday. It is hoped that every house wife in the city will sign the pledges so that sksgway can report 100 percent of its population agreeing to the plans laid down by Herbert Hoover, who represents the United States in food conservation.
 Juneau has an enviable reputa- tion, only a few of it's inhabitants refusing to sign the card. Ketchi- kan did well. In the Liberty Loan no town did better than Skagway but to keep up our reputation every home in the city will have to agree to the pledge.
