Petersburg Moose Gave Entertainment
 Followed by Dance
J. H. Wheeler. Well Known
 in Wrangell, Is Now at the Head of Petersburg Lodge.

The Petersburg Moose lodge gave a most enjoyable entertain ment and dance Saturday night. A short but excellent musical program was followed by an ad- dress on Mooseheart by Mrs. J. W. Pritchett, deputy grand re- gent for Alaska. Following the program the hall was cleared for dancing. Excellent music was furnished by the Petersburg or chestra. At midnight a sump- tuous lunch was served upstairs. The dancing was so enjoyable that it was kept up until far into the night.
 The Petersburg Moose lodge had most kindly invited the Wrangell Moose to be their guests on that occasion, but on account of stormy weather, and owing to a number of the Moose members having previously ac- cepted invitations to local affair on the same night, the represen- tation from Wrangell was much smaller than it otherwise would have been. But those who did go to Petersburg returned loud in their praise of the unusual hos pitality extended by the Peters, burg Moose lodge, and the people of Petersburg generally.
 Our former townsman, James H. Wheeler is dictator of the Pe- tersburg Moose lodge, and is giv- ing the organization the full ben eft of his energy and enthusiasm. And the other officers of the lodge are not lacking in pep. It is therefore not at all surprising that the Petersburg lodge is in a most thriving condition. The dictator showed us a dozen applications for membership which would be presented at the next meeting. Among the candidates for initia- ton were some of the most rep resentative citizens of Peters burg.
 The visitors from Wrangell had a terribly rough voyage on their return home, and the majority of them were seasick, but never theless they were glad they went, and had only words of highest praise for the manner in which they were received by their Pe- tersburg friends.

Local Service Men Favor a
 Scrip Bonus
Local Post of American Legion Makes Recofn- mendations to Depart mental Headquarters.

Merlin Elmer Palmer Post Am erican Legion of Wrangell on Monday evening took a vote on the question as to whether it fa- vored the ex-service men of Alas ka asking the country for a cash bonus or a scrip bonus.
 In order to have the advice of older heads the matter was taken up in an open discussion at which several citizens, chiefly parents of. ex-service men, were present on invitation.
 After stating the purpose of the meeting Post Commander Nicholas Nussbaumer called on Mr. F. E. Bronson for his views on the subject.
 MT. Bronson prefaced his dis cussion of the bonus question with a few highly appropriate and fit- ting remarks in which he paid an eloquent tribute to the men who so recently bore arms in defense of their country. When it came to the matter of accepting a cash bonus or a scrip bonus Mr. Bron- son expressed himself as strongly in favor of the scrip bonus, en- titling each of the 2400 ex-service men of Alaska to 160 acres of land.
 The next speaker called upon was the Rev. H. P. Corser, who stated that a bonus should be giv- en whether it is asked for or not. He favored a scrip bonus and ex- pressed the opinion that while 160 acres of land was very little re- compense for all the ex-service men had done for the country, yet when Alaska's prospects are considered it must mean a great deal. He thought that the ex- service men should be entitled to locate their 160 acres anywhere in Alaska whether within or with out the National Forests. "The National Forest is not sacred.' said the speaker, Congress can touch it in order to give the ex- service men a little bit for all they have done. ,
 Mr. c. M. Coulter, when called upon, stated that he had not giv- en the subject much thought but he thought that the land would be better than a cash bonus. ''If it were up to me to make the choice, would go after the land, "said Mir. Coulter in closing.
 Hon. P. c. Mccormack thought it would be unwise to ask for cash bonus. It was his advice to the Legion members that by all means they take the scrip. It was his opinion that if the ex- service men took scrip they would be better satisfied in the end.
 H. D. Campbell favored asking for scrip bonus. He said Il want to see you men get every thing that is coming to you. l think it should be possible for you to take up land anywhere you choose, and be given a clear title so that you can go away and for get it, if you wish"
 Wm. Lewis said he had not thought over the matter, but that he believed the scrip bonus would be the best. He said the men would not have to sell their land at once in case they did not care to live on it, put could hold it until they could get something worth - while for it.
 Other speakers who favored the scrip bonus were Thomas Dal- gity, E A. Lindman, L. M. Churchill, w. s. Binkley.

GET 100000 OPIUM IN RAID
Federal Officers and Police Arrest
Thirty Chinese and White Wom-
an in Den in Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 12.--In the most i'm
portant opium raid ever made in Chi

squad seized 100000 worth of SNUG
gled opium, 80 Chinese and white
woman in 'hive" of 80 rooms on the
upper four floors of the building at

trouble, the raiders surrounded the
place with revolvers drawn, then bat
tered down the doors with crowbars.
At the first alarm, Chinese scurried
for secret exits, but as they dashed
from the building down the fire es-
capes the raiders posted as sentries
turned them back with rattle of re-
volyer shots.

Chaos Reigns in Stookyards
District When Injunction
Is Granted.
BULLETS POUR FROM HOMES
Scores of Shots Fired at Police in
Demonstration Staged Against
Court order-Women Are the
Principal Agitators.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-Scores Of shots
were fred and four worknen were
slugged when striking packing house
employees and their sympathizers en-
gagged in riot late In the day.
The demonstration was said to have
been staged as protest against a
court order restraining the union from
picketing.
Squads of mounted police rode
through the ranks Of the strikers, fir
, ing pistols In the air. They were met
with hail of missiles.
Homes Of non-union packing house
employees were attacked by crowds of
men and women. Windows were brok-
en- and furniture thrown into the
streets.
While strikers fired from alleys and
from the roofs and windows Of houses,
police rushed from one part of the
district to another in a vain effort to
restore order.
Concentration of forces in any Sec
ton to stamp out violence and arrest
those responsible resulted invariably
In trouble breaking out in some other
part Of the area, compelling the d.
version of reserves in order to pre-
vent destruction of life and property.
Carefully made police preparations,
a court injunction against picketing,
entrance upon the scene Of federal
agents and the pledge by labor off,
cial that "the law will be respected"
all these apparently meant nothing to
the men and women who ranged
through the district.
Women were the principal agitators
In leading attacks upon the. police and
In raiding the homes of persons who
had remained at work despite the
strike.
Officers with drawn revolvers and
clubs raised ready to do battle time
and again were confronted with wom-
en- behind whom the men sought pro-
lection.
While the men fred revolvers and
hurled missiles at the police, the
women rushed to their aid armed with
red pepper to throw in the eyes Of
the police.
From a three-story house at Forty
fifth and Paulina streets a sniper fred
into the police below.
Only the muzzle of his weapon pro-
truded from the window. Unable to
take aim, he made no hits. Police
were unable to dislodge him with their
fire.
: Firing was so general that, during
the early part of the evening, the sit
uation was entirely beyond the con-
troll of the police. Officers ON horse |
back, on motorcycles and afoot sped
from one portion Of the district to the |
other
Anywhere they were likely to come
under the fire of rioters concealed In
houses or hiding In alleys.
One group of strikers barricaded
themselves behind an iron fence in
Davis park and were dislodged only

ice.

U. S. JOINS 8 POWERS
America, Britain, Japan and
France Fix Pacific Pact.
Scheme Calls for Discussion Before
War and Ends the Anglo-Japanese
Alliance.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The fOur-pow
er agreement being considered by the
United States, Great Britain, Japan
and France, 1t was learned from Off.
cial American sources, would be an
agreement for joint consultation on
any matters affecting interests OF
those nations in the Pacific islands,
and not an alliance or technical en-
tente.
The proposed undertaking is de-
signed to do away with the Anglo
Japanese alliance, and proposals have
gone to Japan for remuneration of that
alliance If the new agreement should
be consummated.
AS now under negotiation, the
agreement is to be limited to the Pa
cific islands. Under the tentative pro-
posals, each of the powers would
agree to consult each other before go
ing to war on any differences that
should arise relating to these ISLANDS.
The agreement, American officials
said, would not deal with fortt1ca-
lions in the Pacific, nor with ques-
lions relating to the Island of zap.
The questions at issue between the
United States and Japan relating to
cable facilities and other matters af-
fecting the leland of zap are to be
dealt with in separate treaty, which
was said to be near completion.
The four-power agreement is said
to have already been given approval
in principle by British representatives
at the conference The substance of
the proposed treaty also, it was said,
has been cabled to Tokyo and Paris.
The formal responses of the British.
Japanese and French governments
still remain to be received, however.
The opinion in American quarters
was hopeful for final negotiation Of
the new treaty.
