driving in violation of the traffic laws, which imperils the lives of pedestrians as well as other auto mobilists. The Common Council of the Town of Ketchikan, we are informed, has employed traffic off, cers to regulate traffic within the corporate limits of the city. We are further informed that the city would instruct it's traffic officers to prevent violations of the traffic laws on the Federal highways ad- jacent to the city if they were empowered to do so. We, there fore, recommend that the traffic officers to be employed by the city be commissioned by the Federal peace officers with a view to en- forcing the traffic laws on the Federal highways. The Grand Jury also desires to call this matter to the attention of the public and recommends to our citizens that they report violations of traffic laws, both within and without the corporate limits of the town when they come to their notice.
 We have discussed the results of the White Fisheries Bill and the regulations enacted hereunder by the Honorable Secretary of Commerce. We believe this to be the most beneficial legislation ever enacted for Alaska. It has been brought to our attention that cer tain proposed changes of these regulations have been rcommen- ded as follows:
 That the weekly closed period should be extended beyond the thirty-six hour period and that the fishing season should be heightened. It is the unanimous belief of this Grand Jury that no change should be made in the present weekly closed period or the length of the

 GIVEN ROAST FROM
 GRAND JURY REPORT

The Grand Jury on Wednesday at noon finished it's labors for the special October term, and rem dered the following report to Judge Thomas M. Reed:
 We, the Grand Jury, duly em- paneled for the special October term of court, 1925, in the above entitled court, held at Ketchikan, Territory of Alaska, Division Num- Der One, composed of five women and seventeen men, beg to submit the following report:
 We have been in session nine days, have had under consideration seventeen cases We have returned thirteen true bills and three not true bills; have examined seventy-five witnesses.
 It has been brought to the attention of the Grand Jury at least forty eight women whose mor- als and habits are most question able are residing in the residential and business sections of the Town of Ketchikan, conducting either houses of ill fame, bootlegging es tablishments or houses of assig nation. This, in the opinion of the Grand Jury, is a deplorable situa tion that should be remedied, and we emphatically recommend that appropriate and vigorous steps be taken promptly by the Federal and city officials to abate this condi- tion, either by prosecution Or by actions in abatement against the property occupied by such persons with a view of having such prop erty closed from all occupation. We further recommend that act i've steps be taken to prevent gam bling.
 This Grand Jury finds that the City Council of Ketchikan is res ponsible for the appointment and the activities of the police force. We find that this police force is grossly inefficient, if not corrupt, and We recommend that this con dition be corrected at the earliest possible date.
 The Grand Jury has investigated complaints of reckless and illegal automobile driving, both on the Federal highways outside of the limits of the Town of Ketchikan, and within the corporate limits on the streets. We find that there Is much reckless and dangerous

AN EPOCHAL EVENT

After prolonged conferences at LO- carno, Switzerland, representatives of seven nations-Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Belgium and Czecho-Slovakia- agreed up- on the terms of a security pact for the preservation of peace.
 There are seven treaties included in the plan, which must be ratified by the nations concerned before they become vide that neither of these nations shall ever trespass upon the territory of another, but that all disputes shall be submitted to arbitration, with the council of the League of Nations as the court of last resort. Another con- dition is that Germany shall join the League.
 While there is some opposition on the part of various elements in the several countries to certain terms of the agreement, it is believed that it will be ratified in due time by all concerned
 Although the adoption of the plan will not constitute positive guaran- tee of peace, it is without doubt the greatest step in that direction ever taken.
 More important, perhaps, than the

MY MUSIC MUST

SOUSA

Before he sailed on a recent

paper interview, struck the key
note of all music with the decla-
ration that the test for all music
is in the spine, and unless a
tune causes the thrills to run
up and down the spine of both,
player and listener, something
is wrong with the tune. That
has been the lifetime test of
music with Lieutenant sCom-
mander John Philip Sousa. the
famous bandmaster, who is now
on his thirty.third annual tour,
and perhaps one of the greatest
reasons for his success has been
that the Sousa music, both his.
own compositions and his rendi-
tions of the works of others
has been music of thrills. Sousa
and his band will appear in two
concerts, afternoon and night,
at the Auditorium, Wednesday,

For a third of a century, Sousa

satisfied that the selection con-
tanned thrill, it was excluded

turned this play down until Mr..

into the Nugent trunk.
One of the first plays Mr..
Nugent wrote was can Indiana
