FORT SEWARD AND HAYNES BASKETBALL TEAMS
 TO PLAY FINALS HERI

Skagway basketball fans are to be treated to a basketball game tomor. row, Wednesday, evening which should be full of thrills.
 Haines and Fort Seward teams have been playing a series of games this season, and as the court down the canal will not permit of all the possible plays of the game, arrange ments have been made for the com batants to fight 1t out on the White Pass Athletic clubs court.
 tI is said that both teams have been playing good basketball, and as the teams are in good condition, it is reasonable to assume that to- morrow's contest will be a fast and furious one.
 An admission fee of 25c will be collected at the door, and it is quite likely that a dance will follow the game.

Royal Widows Spend Christmas
 On British Soil

London, Dec. 21.-Two dowager Queens and one Dowager Empress of Europe, the widows of former Kings of England and Denmark, and an Emperor of Russia, are to spend the Christmas holidays together in England. Dowager Queen Louise of Denmark, widow of King Frederick VIII, who died in 1912 and Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, of Rus sia, widow of Emprroe Alexander IT., who died in 1894, will be the guests of Dowager Queen Alexandra at Sandringham. Queen Alexandra is the widow of King Edward VII, who died in 1910. Those who fol- low the annals of royalty say this is the first time, probably in history that three widowed Queens have thus come together.
 Maria Feodoroyna is a younger sister of lexandra, and Louise is a sister-in-law of both. Hence it will be a family reunion. Maria Feodor- ovna arrived in England recently and celebrated her 75th birthday, Novem- Der 26, as a guest of her sister She has been living for the past two years in Denmark-she was original ly the Danish Princess Dawmar-but she will now remain in England for several weeks. Queen Louise, who is Il years old, is expected at Sand ringham a few days after Christmas. There will be no public or social functions in honor of the royal guests, but during the Christmas sea son King George and the entire royal family will spend a few days with | Queen Alexandra and their aunts.
 The meeting of Queen Alexandra, who is IS years old, and her sister, will be more or less touching as the l Queen is known to be very distress ed at the plight of her sister, who has been rapidly declining in health since the killing of her son, who was | Emperor Nicholas, by the Bolsheviki at Ekaterinburg in the summer Of 1918.

VIOLINIST WANTS TO
 WRITE ALASKA STORY

Does man enjoy life more in the cittes-the man-made world?
 Or does he gain more by close communion with nature-God's world?
 This is the theme around which Las8lo Schwartz, violinist, composer and novelist, and student of human nature, who has come to Seattle out of the NorthlGnd, is writing a novel. His purpose is to further ef- forts to strike a happy balance be- tween two worlds so that the man of the cities will gain by living portion of his life in the wilder ness, and the man of the wilds will likewise gain through spending a portion of his life in association with his fellow men in the cities.
 A native of Hungary, MT. Schwartz writes in three languages, Latin, English and Hungarian. He regis tered at the Savoy Hotel recently after spending four and one-half months in Alaska and the Yukon gathering material for a novel.
 Alaska is a land of thinkers, !" he said. q fully believe that from out of the North will come one of the leading composers of the next generation; leaders in literature and art. too. There are many brilliant men and women in Alaska - men and women who combine study of mankind with study of nature and have the power of transferring to the printed page the beauty and vigor of this great wonderland"
 Mir. Schwartz said that Alaskans generously support entertainments of any nature and that great re- wards are in store for theatrical managers who will book tours for the North.

In her testimony Miss Provost said
that she "did not remember" Miss

casion of the party in Arbucke's rooms
in the Hotel st. Francis At the first
trial Miss Provost made the positive
statement that Miss Rappc said "Hc

An attempt was made by the prosecu-

ment by Miss Provost in which she said
that Miss Rappc exclaimed "He killed
me! ," This statement also was in
cluded in the courts ruling.
Miss Provost testified that she was
virtually cocrced by the District Attor-
ney into making the statements, and
she repudiated them. The prosecution
put Walter <. Trcfts, secretary to the
District Attorney, on the stand to tes-
tify that she made the statements of
