INTERESTING TESTIMONY

occurred in Ketchikau few days ago the Ketchikan Chronicle has this to say regarding the situation in ket- chikan and incidentally pays it's re- spects to an erstwhile resident of Skagway.
 The Coffee" referred to lived in Skagway in pioneer days and work ed at his trade of gambling since which time he has visited every live camp in the North.
 In another column will be found the report of the hearing of the mur- der case before the |. s. Commls- sioner.
 The editorial above referred to follows:
 Some remarkable bits of evidence were brought out yesterday after noon at the inquest of John A. Swan son who was killed Wednesday morn ing in the Royal hotel gambling room. So interesting was it that il will be worthy of note to see what will be done by the office Of James A. Smiser. United States attorney, and to consider the evidence in the light of what has gone before.
 One Kaufman. commonly known about town as "Coffey." in testify ing. said he was utility" man at the ! Royal hotel When pressed further with questions he admitted that utility" meant that he was a deal CT in stud poker game, that he Op- erated for the house and received therefor a percentage on the win nings.
 This same "Colrey" known thru out the length and breadth of Alaska as a ueyer-work. sure-thing man. who hasn't done enough honest work : in years to support a healthy gold fish. on the witness stand at Juneau also admitted that te was gambler i by profession" which means that he lives from preying upon drunken or half-witted individuals who fall for their game.
 Nothing was done by the officials about "Coffey" after his first admis- sion in Juneau. and it will be inter- esting now to watch what steps will be taken. "Coffey" is that type of man that Ketchikan would be well Srid of. for he reaps not. neither does he spin. His chief work in life, is the wrecking of homes and the starv- ton of children by winning from a number of foolish fathers that which should be used to buy shoes for their children. f Another interesting witness yes terday was Sam Larsonswho was dealing in the game on the morning of the shooting, and who. according to the testimony, was the only one present when Swanson was shot. Larson, according to his own testi- mony. is a miner by trade, and has worked at il for a number of years, until Radenbaugh hired him to run one of his games. Then and there the district lost a good prospector and miner.
 | Another particular interesting piece of testimony was that of Rad enbaugh himself when he admitted that he has been running a gambling house, that the dealer and the house split fifty-fifty on the rakeoff.
 The matter is now strictly up to James A. Smiser, United States at torney for the division. He has Cof- lfey's two admissions. He has Lar sons statement that Radenbaugh has been running a gambling joint, and he has Radenbaugh's own ad- mission. These ought to make pret- ty convincing evidence for any jury. But will they be presented?-Ketch- ikan Chronicle.

GOSSIP AT THE
STATE CAPITAL
by JOHN c. TRIcEl

Eugene Marriages is beautiful
dream" remarked gentleman in Tai
lahassee the other day. "but it has a
clouded horoscope" Continuing he de-
clared that the only way to improve
the morals of the human race is to
encourage universal marriages among
the sexes, and absolute fealty to the
marriage vows. Of course he said il
the physical condition Of the people is
paramount to their spiritual well being
then eugenics is the thing. But when
absolute prohibition against marriage
is legislated against any class of peo-
pie then society is threatened, because
by law large class is driven to an
other resource they will feel justified
in pursuing because Of their contempt
for the law which attempts to take
from them the inherent right of
mating.
The hope has been entertained by
those looking on and by many Of the
lawmakers in the house that at some
time during the session all the trouble
making bills would get off the calen-
der. so that there would be smooth
sailing toward the close OF the session.
But that hope is no more. When this
work opened with only eleven days in
teryening before the. close Of the SEES
sion, there was still on the calendar
set for this week the finance and tax
alton bills, the senate riparian bill. and
in the neighborhood of dozen others
that cannot get by without consuming
a lot of time. Then there is the gene
raj appropriation bill, the game bill
the fish bill and great many others
that are really important. A ten day
extra session could not possibly clean
up the calendar-if the proper consid-

condition will greatly speed up legis-
| lation as well as other pursuits-such
as farming for example. Not that
lawmaking and farming are kindred
occupations. Far from it, but the
farmer has to have sunshine to make
his crops grow and the law-maker
needs sunshine to make his thoughts
go.

1t was astonishing the number of
able lawyers who felt impelled to come
to Tallahassee and give the special
committee engaged in trying to redis-
trict the states judicial circuit the
benefit of their advice. 1t was equally
astonishing how they agreed on the
point that laying any hands on the
sacred thing known as a judicial cir
cult could be unconstitutional and,
therefore anathema! horendous! stu
porific!
( OF course. adding more circuits
would be all right, however, they
pointed out with one accord.
The committee did not agree with
them that it would be unconstitutional
to re-district so as to spread the work
done in the states circuit courts a lit

disagreement at all on the point that
