AND STILL THEY COME
Efforts to Release Floyd From Jail
Draw Forth More Charges.

A writ of habeas corpus was issued
today in the Shawnee county district
court for the release of Robert Floyd,
now reposing in the county Jail
charged with a number of thefts and
burglaries. Incidentally another COM
plant was listed against him today.
charging him with stealing a silver
shaving set, an alarm clock, a safety
razor, a suit of clothes and a boys
overcoat from Mrs. H. earns, sos West
Seventh street.
Floyd's attorneys contend that
Sheriff Hugh Larimer has no right to
hold Floyd in jail, but Larimer de-
clares that he will remain there as
long as he can keep him there. The
sheriff seems to have a large supply
of complaints on hand which he can
bring against the colored man at will.
A hearing will be held August IL.

C. A. Michigan in Suit Against
jacobson and Williamson.
He Entered Into Contract With
PawnbrOker for 1O.Year Period.
DEFENDANTS RUNNING SHOW
Plaintiff Claims Damages for
Continued Use of Fixtures.
Jacobson Asserts Property Re-
lease Agreement Not Mutual.

A petition asking for a Judgment
against Abe jacobson, local pawn
broken. and Lew Williamson, promi-
rent Topeka and Kansas City theatre
cal man, was filed this morning in the
office of the Shawnee county district
court by attorneys for Z. A. McGui-
gan, former manager of the Gem the
alter.
In his petition, McGuigan claims
that on October 10. 1915. he and ia
cobson entered into an agreement
whereby the latter was to remodel the
building now known as the Gem the
alter. between Fifth and Sixth streets,
on Kansas avenue. and whereby. when
the remodeling was concluded, Jacob
son was to lease the building to Nc
Guigan for a period of ten years. Nc
Guigan waste install heating appa-
ratus and other fixtures and decora-
lions at his own expense and give ia
cobson mortgage on them, that the
pawnbroker might foreclose in case
he failed to pay the rent. At the ex-
pifation of ten years, according to Nc
GulEan, he was to remove all fixtures
and decorations which he had in
stalled and which could be removed
without injury to the walls or other
parts of the building, providing he had
lived up to his terms of the contract
ana PAID his rent up promptly.
No Lease Signed.
When the remodeling was finished.
says the petition, McGuigan installed
the fixtures at cost of $3S52 and
opened the theater to the public But
no lease. it seems, was ever signed.
McGuigan continued to operate the
theater up until about June 80, 1917,
at which time, Michigan declares, the
two parties mutually agreed that he
should deliver up possession of the
theater to Jacobson. This was done,
and jacobson retained possession of
the fixtures in spite of McGuigan's
| protests.
Theater Now Running.
Then along came Williamson. Nc
Guigan says he doesn't know whether
there is any written contract between
Williamson and jacobson or not, but
that the two are running the theater
and using his fixtures. He also be-
lieves that they are making money on
| his investment, he says. The mort
| gage on the fixtures has never been
| foreclosed, it seems.
Jacobson looks at the matter in a
different light. He declared today that
| McGuigan had not lived up to the
contract and that the agreemen,
wherein McGuigan had turned the
property over to him before the ex-
piration of the ten years had not been
| mutual"

is the equivalent of a barrel of oil. If
the requirements of the war industries
and the army and navy are to be met
conservation must be practiced by

Former Delegate Asks for Votes on Old Basis of Wickersham Against
 the Field.
"SULZER DID NOTHING"
Former Delegate Says Sul- ger Got No Results; De- cIares Elimination AS-
 ment Work Void.

VALDEZ, Sept. 23.-Ex-Delegate speech said this is not political year; Republicans are supporting President Wilson better than Demo crats; Senator Chamberlain's and Senator Vardaman's actions are not to be compared with those of Taft and Hughes, who are working with the President"
 Therefore" he said, there is no party politics in Alaska"
 The speaker then denounced the record of Delegate Charles A. Sul ger He said "Sulzer has not done anything" He said ,Sulzer claims he scored the passage of the resolu- tion eliminating assessment work on mining calims, but had nothing to do with it. Then he added, but if he had, it was void as the resolution is void
 Judge Wickersham declared that he was elected in 1916 and was robbed of the certificate of election by Judge Jennings, Thomas J. Dono hoe and others. He said the House Committee on Elections had reported in his favor, but that the report will not be announced until after the cleo tion when he, Wickersham, will be seated.
 Wickersham said that the great issue in Alaska is transportation. He says he said so in 1908. He de clared that everyone is leaving Alas ka because of the high cost of liv- ing and of mining supplies and that they are high because of the trans portation monopoly. He said he had been fighting on that line for eight years
 Wickersham declared that he was responsible for the Alaska railroad and that the railroad appropriations

had been shamelessly squandered by an ex-Republican who was responsi- ble for driving Coy. Strong out of office because he would not issue a certificate of election to Sulzer
 He declared that he had favored the purchase of the Copper River railroad by the Government
 He declared that he had always supported the Alaska Board of Road Commissioners, and had secured the raise in its appropriation from $100,- 900 to S500000 in 1917.
 He declared that he secured the passage of the present coal lands law, and that the first bill he will Introduce if elected will be one to have the Government pay bonus of fifty per cent. on all coal mined in Alaska.
 He said that Sulzer left Washing
