It took but one ballot of the jury in the case of the United States against F. ]. Furnivall to reach a decision that he was not guilty of embezzlement as charged in the in- dictment returned recently by the grand jury. The charge was that the defendant had converted to his own use certain bonds of the Alas ka Trust and Investment company. The defendant admitted having had them but claimed that he held them as trustee of the Alaska In- vestment company and that he la ter turned them over to the re- ceivers of the Alaska Trust and In- vestment company Chronicle.

But for the fish and the reindeer, it is said that many of the residents of the Kobuk section of Alaska would have starved last winter. A merchandise store at Kiana burned to the ground during the winter and the boat Arctic failed to make her annual trip to the camp last fall. The loss of most of the fish ing gear by storms last winter di. unfinished the fish catch. Little mining is being done this season owing to the food shortage, but the camp is healthy.

Juneau Librarian Represents American Library Associa- ton in Alaska in the Books for Everybody Plan.'

Mrs. F. A. Metcalf, librarian of the Public Library at Juneau has undertaken the direction of the Books for Everybody" movement in Alaska for the American Lii brary Association.
 This movement is a nationwide endeavor to promote the extension of library service so that the mill lions of people in the United States and its possessions may have the opportunity for obtaining reading matter which is not now within their reach. It is also designed to promote the habit of reading and universal self-education through books and libraries and create a public sentiment that will ensure adequate support for all existing libraries and cause others to be es- tablished where they do not now exist.
 This enlarged program is a di- rect outgrowth of the wartime ser- vice ot the American Library Asso- citation which circulated more than 7,ooo, GOO books among men of the United States forces at home, over seas, and on the sea. The peace time project will promote extension ef book service.
 To carry out the provisions of the project, a fund of $2, 1000, 900 is being raised by librarians, library trustees, and friends of libraries without recourse to the usual inten- sive public campaign.

ARMY CAMPAIGN
TO Be EXTENDED
Bad Weather Early In Week
Held Up Workers So That
Two Extra Days Allotted.

Because of the rainy weather early
in the week, the Salvation Army home
service appeal campaign has been ex-
tended two days. The appeal was Of
ficially scheduled to close yesterday but
an announcement from zone headquar-
ters yesterday said that two addi-
tional days had been allotted the work
ers in which to make the final clean
up.
Pensacola reports are satisfactory,
although the quota has not been
reached. 1t is believed il sufficient
volunteer workers are on hand today
and tomorrow there will be no trouble
in putting the appeal over. The work
ers have found no hesitancy in giving.
except in rare cases, and the great
est draw back to the early success OF
the appeal has been the limited num-
Der of campaigners.
Chairmen of both the 'vomcn's and
the mems teams have issued calls for
their workers to report back this NOM
ing and an effort will be made to at
tain sufficient headway today to out
the appeal over without carrying it
into Saturday.

SOLDIER BONUS
BILL COMPLETE
House Ways and Means Com
mittee Reports Measure Out;
Action Expected Saturday.

Washington, May 20.-The soldier
relief bill was reported out today by
the house ways and means committee
after the committee had voted to in
clude ten per cent stock dividend tax
retroactive to March Is as part of the
plan for financing relief. Republican
leaders plan to bring the bill before
the house Saturday.
Adoption of the tax provision by a
margin of one vote, precipitated such
a fight in the committee that favor
able report on the bill was delayed,
with opponents of the stock tax seek
ing reconsideration.
The committee also refused by a
strictly party vote to accept an 80
per cent retroactive war profits tax,
proposed by democratic committee
men.
Chairman Fordney of Michigan ex-
poets to ask the rules committee to
give legislative preference to the bill.
This would assure consideration in the
house either Saturday or Monday.
Leaders said, however, that the bill,
if approved by the house, stood little
chance Of being passed by the senate
before the recess June 5.
The bill, approved by vote OF ZIG
to 80 in the caucus provides for pay
ment of adjusted compensation at 81
for each days domestic service and
s1.25 for each days foreign service,
with a maximum individual grant OF
$500 for domestic service and S625 for
foreign service. Other provisions in
clude a plan for paid-up insurance;
home and farm aid, vocational educa-
ton and extension Of priority right to
settle lands, the total amount OF IN
dividual loans granted under this sec
ton being $1,000. Payments would be
based on service from April 6, 1917, to
July /. 1919, and would begin July l.
1921, and continue quarterly for three
years.
Republican endorsement last night
followed a five hour wrangle Wageu
principally at the section covering the
so-called Lane -Monden land grant.
After failure of the caucus to eliminate
the section, the bill was finally ap-
proved.
