REGULARS EVEN
 UP SCORE WITH
 COLTS. IN GAME
HUNDRED PEOPLE SIT THRU, RAIN TO SEE INTERESTING GAME AT PARK SUNDAY; REGU- LARS NOW HAVE CHANGE TO WIN CUP.

Regulars 8; Colts 5, is the way the score board looked when the ninth inning of Sundays game had been played at Exposition park. The Old Timers staged a comeback and with the assistance of two new men, re- turned soldiers from Fort Gibbon, took the lead early in the contest and held it until the end.
 It wasn't walkaway by any means. The yanigans were danger ous contenders at every stage and it was anybody's game until the last man had been put under cover. Con- sidering the dampness of the at- mosphere, the small score is consider ed phenomenal. Rain fell almost continuously after the second inning and several times threatened to break up the game.
 For the Regulars. Wenzel, one of the draft men, pitched a heady game and was given gilt edged support. Altho hit freely at times, in the pinches he frightened up and refused to be worked for either passage or hits. Magness, another soldier. was

NEW EQUIPMENT FOR RADIO NOW
 BEING SHIPPED
NEW WIRELESS OUTFIT WILL BE INSTALLED IN FAIRBANKS THIS SUMMER TEMPORARY ONLY LARGER PLANT IS RECON MENDED

To representative of The Citizen Captain Faust. in charge of the Fair banks-ValdeZ section of the U. s. Telegraph System. stated yesterday that new radio equipment for the local wireless plant will arrive in Fairbanks at an early date and will be installed here this summer. The new plant is a five kilowatt station and is merely temporary installation pend. ing definite action on the departments recommendation for larger and more powerful plant which will make Fairbanks a central station in the chain of Alaskan communication.
 According to telegraphic advices re- ceived by Captain Faust during his stay here the new equipment is now at Fort Gibbon and will probably reach here within the next two weeks. It is a complete set, naval type which has given efficient service in naval communication and well adapted for local conditions.
 Captain Faust was unable to state whether or not he would return here for the purpose of overseeing the in stallation of the new plant. He stat ed that he would be relieved from his present position within few weeks and would probably be transferred to the states, possibly going to an ar tillery school back on the Atlantic coast. Altho appointed as reserve officer shortly after the outbreak of hostilities, the Captain recently went to the states and took an examination for a regular commission, attaining a high mark, which assures the con- tinuation of his rank if he desires to remain in the service.
 He has been requested by Colonel Lenoir to return here and look after the changes to be made in the wire less plant, and if nothing unexpected arises will probably be in Fairbanks next month for this purpose.
 Referring to recent Seattle reports regarding the establishment of a pow erful central Alaskan station here. Captain Faust stated that such re- commendation had been made from his office and that the project had been approved by the war department and would probably go thru if the appropriations were not cut by the present congress. It is believed that the proposed plant would not be less than fifteen kilowatts and probably twenty-five, which would place it in position to communicate with all Alas kan points and direct with Seattle. No definite plans, however, can be made until the appropriation is as sured.
 The captain has made high srecord during his administration on the tele graph system and is one of the most popular officers ever on the system. An expert land telegraph, wireless and cable man himself, he has built up an organization all over his section which is considered one of the best in the signal corps. The news of his approaching relief comes as sur prise to those who have become ia miliar with his work.

IS ACCUSED OF
 CARRYING OPIUM

Gee Sing, a Bridgeport Chinamar, had been scheduled to be put to trial before Judge Edwin s. Thomas and a jury in the United States court in Hartford toda>, under an indictment which charges him with a violation of the Harrison act, which treats with narcotics. The specific allega- ton of the indictment is that the ac- cused had opium in his possession. Frank Henrick, of 120 Broadway, New York, and Percy s. Bryant ap peared for the accused man, and they argued a demurrer to the indict- ment The decision was reserved and that causes a postponement of the trial.
 The Harrison act specifically pro- hlbited the importation of smoking opium into this country, which was the kind of opium found on the pos session Of Gee Sing. The constitu- tionality of the act was attacked by the demurrer, in that the act, as claimed by the counsel for the man., puts the responsibility upon the ac- cused of proving himself innocent, Instead of his guilt being established as is usual in criminal prosecutions, of proving an accused guilty.
