C0WBELLS SAVE The GRAPES
Novel Alarm Devised by New Yorker
to Discourage Depredations of
Nocturnal Visitors.

Exasperated by nightly raids Of
small boys on his grape arber, a
Sheepshead Bay IN. V resident has
stopped their depredatiOns by attach
ing cowbells TO the vines. The slight
est pull at the tempting fruit jingles
the alarm and puts the intruders 10
flight.
The sandy soil near the bay is par
ticularly adapted for grapes and most
of the other houses have large arbors
in the back yard. Boys from the new
er houses, which have no arbOrs, be-
gan to call under the cover of dark
ness even before the grapes were ripe.
They not only took the fruit, but
ruined the vines by crawling and STUN
bling over the arbor.
But the cowbell alarm brings the
owner 10 the door and a second scare
Is generally avoided by the boys. Sew
erai neighbors, noting the efficiency of
the system, have also installed cow
bells among their grape vines.

 ON STAND WITH
 s TO BY OF RAID
Is Government Witness Against Kirkland - Tells
 Story of Pt. Howard Raid.

Taking the stand this morning in the perjury case against J. w. Kirk land, former Federal prohibition agent, O. w. McMayburn, against whom similar indictment was out. declared that he and Kirkland arrest eds Edward (Frozenfoot) Johnson and George Franklin on or about Janu- ary H. last, and that on a promise of $250 to be paid to each agent both prisoners were allowed to go free. McMayburn said he had been prom ised immunity by the prosecution after he had agreed to tell the whole truth about the affair."
 The witness story told of raid by the two officers on a cabin on the mainland near Pt. Howard, the seizure of "moonshine" whiskey, the discovery of large quantity of mash and appurtenances to large still; of the arrest of Johnson and Frank lin; bringing them to Salmon Creek on the gasboat Kirk: their release from custody, and Johnson's failure to pay the release money called for by the alleged agreement. On cross examination, he admitted he had testified before the grand jury last April and earlier in a hearing before the U. s. Commissioner when John- son was tried for violating the pro- h.btion laws, that neither Johnson ror Franklin had been arrested or at thn nd y,1a rf ha reverted raid.
 The government yesterday moved to dismiss the indictment against Me CMayburn. which carried charge similar to the one under which Kirk land is being tried. An order was entered at that time for such dis missal
 FrankIn's Story Confirmed
 McMayburn's story as told today largely corrobOrated that told on the stand yesterday by Franklin. The latter said McMayburn first visited the cabin on January 13. pretending to be searching for a lost prospec- tor. Accompanied by Kirkland. ac- cording 10 Franklin, McMayburn re- turned the following morning and made the arrests. He also told of the trip to Salmon Creek and their release from custody.
 Other witnesses called by the gov ernment were: J. w Felix, w. J. Maynard. Jack Wilson, members of the Federal grand jury in session here last April, and others.
 Defense Case Is Short
 The government finished it's case early today. The defense offered but little testimony. that of the de- feldant himself Kirkland adhered closely to the story told the grand jury and for which the perjury charge was filed. He maintained ha neither saw nor arrested either Johnson or Franklin in the Pt How ard raid. On cross examination he remained unshakcn.
 Arguments in the case were start ed shortly after D. m. today. It

 Gross Makes Statement
 Regarding theater inspection con tained in the grand jury report, W. D. Gross of the Coliseum Theater said this afternoon:
 "At all times l have considered the Coliseum Theater was kept up in the best shape and meeting all re quirements of the law. The exits by the stage, mentioned in the report, are through four-foot doors. The fire escapes from the balcony are two in number and one mentioned in the report is over a roof of property not my own. I have intended to bridge this roof, making a complete new exit Regarding the lobby en- frances, the frames can easily be hung to the walls. 1 did not deem this necessary before as the long en- trance to the foyer is seven feet wide Any suggestions from re- sponsible parties. who know safety first methods will gladly be received and acted upon. l am now spending several thousand dollars in filling in under the theater and stand ready to make the Coliseum the best there is. Reliable engineers have pro- nounced the Coliseum's construction absolutely modern and safe in all respects. I believe the Coliseum has more exits than any other public auditorium in Juneau, barring none, md investigation will prove this beyond doubt. The Coliseum has ywo exits from the balcony"
