When Reeds death was first
learned and details were told by
James Rollins, employed at Great
Falls, VA, a coroner's jury in Vir-

Of accidental drowning.
Since then, however, 1t Ii said,
facts have been brought to light
tending to prove that he was a
victim of foul play at the hands of
bootleggers, and that when his body
was recovered from the Potomac
river it bore bruises, fractures, and
q broken nose.
Rollins, it is said, was with Reed
when he met his death and was
principal witness at the coroner's
jury. He told the jury that on
June 1S Reed came to him and tOlA

asked him If he would row him

Whitman annexed the next three

with Whitman five down.
Whitham's inability to hit his
tee shots was directly responsible

stages of the play. Upon no less
than five occasions he topped his

His inability to time his swing
could not have been any better

he teed an iron shot and topped it

Anchorage Opposed.
 to Capitol at Juneau

Seeking the endorsement of it's plan % deiay the construction of capitol building at Juneau until such time as tha voters of the Territory shall have had an opportunity to express their desires as to where the capital of the Territory shall be located, the Anchor ageGha mber of Commerce has sent out She following letter to the Chambers of Commerce of the several towns of Central and Western Alaska:
 Recently an editorial was published ia. d Juneau paper reiarding certain appropriation thatehad been passed by ehe U. s. Congress about twelve. years ago. and amounting to s2G0, ,o00. which wasto have been used for the purpose of purchasing, 8 desirable location for andi construction. Of federal buildings and offices of the Territorial capitol.
 ''The article called attention to the ia ct that of this appropriation some thing like S35;000, 900 had been expend ed for this purpose, thus leaving an unexpended balance of somewhere around $l65,OO0
 The editorial went on to state that the city of Juneau must get together in body and urge the authorization of the expenditure of this balance and have a dood,, fire proof federal building in Juneau, stsessing the point that there was considerable, and- widespread ,eeling in maay Alaska towns a5ainsb this very thing. and that if thoy did not act promptly the capital might not long stay at Juneau. The inference to be gained from the editorial is that If Juneau would solidly support Delegate Sutherland in getting this money, and

eral building, it would be the death knell ofythe movement to change the capital of Alaska for time at least.
 "The article also went on to state that John w. Langley. chairman of the House public buildings and grounds committee had approved the idea and stated that in his opinion the money would soongbe made available for this purpose.
 Considering the fact that, as & cap ital, Juneau is far removed from the biggasbe part of the Territory, the largest revenue making industries being located far to the north and west ward, especially the country contiguous to the Government railroad, between Seward and Fairbanks, the large cop per mines in the Prince William sound, the biggest part of the canning indus try located there and all along the coast to the extreme west, as we'll as the coming oil possibilities of this part Of Alaska, the best coal deposits and the most arabic land being located iu this section of Alaska, the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce, at a special meeting held December 18th, decided to thwart this appropriation and ask that the same be held over until such time as the voters of Alaska shall de- eide where they want the capitol per manently located.
 ''There is a widespread sentiment in Alaska for a change Of the location of the capital to a place more centrally located than Juneau. Juneau is far removed from the center of population, and is not in the district likely to see great future development. aud until the people of Alaska decide by ballot whore they wish the capital we think 1t wise that Congress does not. author ize. the expenditure of suehv9a large sum as s165. .0O0, or thereabouts, in a city that is so poorly located for cap ital as Juneau.
 Some city on the line of the Gov ernment railroad and in the center of the coming development area would better serve all of Alaska, and until that permanent capital is decided upon we submit that it would be a gross error for Congress to expeud a large sum upon capitol buildings at Juneau. For years the Territory has functioned without these buildings, and we. believe it wise to wait 8 while before spending this money. for the reasons above. out Ened~
 AThe Anchorage Chamber of Con- meree has, therefore, wired Delegate Dan Sutherland, Secretary of she In- terior Albert E. Fall. and John W. Langley, chairman of the House public buildings and grounds committee, de- manding the postponement of the ap- propriation of the money above referred to, for the construction of buildings at Juneau, until the location of the capital is decided by popular vote
 We urge your body to. take this matter up at once and. also wire the men mentioned, along similar lines.
 s'This- s,a matter of vital importance to all of Alaska and should have your attention"
