CHAPTER Nj.
COunsel's Opinion.

From Emmie Clegg Joan had
kept her secret. But despite the
warning Of Mr.. Bell. she had not
the slightest intention OF keeping
it from Philip Mottisfont. Surely,
she was entitled to the best advice.
And to Joan's mind there was but
one man worth consulting at the
whole Of the English bar.
Mottisfont himself answered the
bell. evidently just about to 90
out. He was In evening dress and
looked extraordinarily handsome
and distinguished. When he saw
who his visitor was. for once Mot
tisfont was taken aback.

the table with an air OF forced COM,

slightly.

smile. for 'counsers opinion
That's what it's called. is It not"
The suggestion was so quaint
that 1t seemed to Mottisfont she
must have come to amuse herself
at his expense. He smiled back at

HABEAS CORPUS WRIT
 SOUGHT BY CHINAMEN

Habeas corpus proceedings were initiated in the T.. s. District Court today by Roden X Morton for three Chinese, Lee Hong Fong, Lee Dap and Ko Lung, in which the peti- tioners seek to obtain their release from the local Federal jail where they are now serving sentences for violation of the prohibition laws. The men were tried and sentenced by U. s. Commissioner E. M. Axel- son, of Yakutat and brought here recently.
 Fong and Dap were sentenced to ierve six months and Lung three months in jail and payments of the costs in each case assessed against the prisoners. The petition attacks the validity of the proceedings in the Commissioner court. Judge Reed was absent from town this afternoon so no order could be ob- tained. It is expected that an order will be issued tomorrow and hear ing be held probably Saturday.

ASSOCIATION OF FOX FARMERS IS
 PLAN SUGGESTED
Forest Supervisor Suggests Meeting of Fox Farmers
 for that Purpose.

Organization of q fox ranchers' as sociation is suggested by Forest Su- pervisor C. T. Gardner in a letter to individuals now engaged in that industry in the Tongass National Forest. For this purpose MT. Gard ner proposes convention of South eastern Alaska fox ranchers to be held this fall and offers the aid of the Forest Service in the matter
 In his communication to the fox farmers. MT Gardner said
 After careful survey of the fox farm industry in Southeastern Alaska and the many new conditions with which the farmers have to contend, it is believed that fox farmers as sociatiOn would be of very great value to those connected with the industry.
 "The Forest Service will gladly sociation of this kind.
 "I should like to suggest that a point central to the industry in gen eral be selected and that the meet ing be held this fall, when most con venient
 Bylaws of an Eastern association have been secured which can be used as guide in forming the Alaska association"
 Rights Are Safeguarded
 MT. Gardner also assured the fox ranchers of the willingness of the Forest Service to safeguard them in the possession of the islands held under permits, and forwarded to them an opinion on the matter recently given by R. w. Williams Solicitor for the Department of Agriculture.
 This opinion follows:
 "It is our opinion that a special use permit gives the right of ex- elusive possession to the permittee and that he therefore has the right to exclude anyone from the area covered by the permit You will recall that in the case of LeRoy and Wilson against Swanson. which came up in Colorado several years ago. we filed suggestions with the local court with a view Of protecting the rights of the permittee against subsequent mineral location. That case was settled without going to trial because of the default of the mineral locator. Of course, the ques tion of the rights of the permittee as against a subsequent mineral To- cation is not entirely free from doubt, but we would take any ap propriate action, as we did in that case. to protect permittee against such location, however, the question has never been finally determined by the courts

SMALL BOY INJURED
 WHEN STRUCK BY CAR

Harvey Scott, six-year-old native boy, was struck and injured about the head, by a car driven by c. K. Hooker, lest evening about 630 o'clock on Willoughy Avenue, this side of the Mcintyre store. MT his car to the office of Dr. w. J. Pigg. Dr. l.. P. Dawes was called in consultation and the boy was taken to the St Ann's Hospital. The injuries were found to be not serious aside from severe bruises, and the boy will leave the hospital to- night or tomorrow morning for his home, it was stated at the hospital.
 MT. Hooker said today he was driving his car at a slow speed along the street because of the children. Little Harvey was play ing with number of other young sters on the street, and close to the car. He had his back to the car and MT. Hooker kept close watch of him as he drove along. When about four feet ahead, the little chap turned, facing the car, and jumped directly in it's path. It was impossible to turn out and MT. Hooker damned on the brakes but was unable to stop before he struck the boy. He said if he had been going as faster speed the boy would probably have been seriously injured.
 It is said the youngsters along Willoughby Avenue are greatly in habit of running before the cars passing by.

Hall, as the main feature and closing event of entertainment giv- en yesterday by the people of Ju- neau for the convention of the Western Confectioners' Association. The hall was crowded with merry makers from the hour the doors opened at 9:30 o'clock until after midnight. Chips flew around, glasses clicked and bets were high on the roulette wheel, until even the blaze old timers remarked it was the near est to the real thing in a long time.
 The guests from the convention left at II o'clock, when the steam ship Spokane, on which they are making the tour of Southeastern Alaska, left Juneau Juneau guests were hitting the top of the evening about that time and remained the evening through.
 Characters well known in Daw- son in the gold rush days, were portrayed by various citizens, who kept the fun rolling and added the atmosphere of "big night"
 First and second prizes given to ladies and gentlemen holding the largest amount of bunco money at the close of the evening were Ladies-first, Goldie Hahn; second, Anne Jones. gentlemen-frst, w. Craig; second, J. Moon
