FREE-FOR-ALL SCRAP; THREE
 UNDER ARREST

Following fights at Thans Sat urday night, Clifford Graham, and Evan Dezaloff were arrested and Mike Kobeck was taken into custody Sunday by Federal off cers charged with assault with . dangerous weapon. Graham was released on a $500 bond Sunday afternoon and the other men were being held at noon today when no bail had been furnished by them.
 The fights, in which it is said Deputy Federal Prohibition Ad, ministrator T. l.. Chichester and Agent Warren Harding were the chief sufferers, occurred while the Moose Baseball dance was in progress. The prohibition officers made no statement today but it was unofficially indicated that a free-for-all scrap took place and intimations were made that a grand jury investigation would be conducted into the whole affair.
 Late this afternoon Evan Deza- loff and Mike Kobeck were re- leased upon posting $500 bail each.

J.F.M'DONALD LAID AT REST
Large Crowd Attends Fun eral for Pioneer-Sp -Splen-
 did Tribute Is Paid

A crowd that filled the Audi torium of Elks' Hall yesterday paid their last respects to the memory of the late John F. Me Donald. prominent pioneer of Ju- neau and Douglas, who died last Monday. The funeral services, under the auspices of Gastineaux Lodge No. 142, r. & A. M., Mt. Juneau Lodge No. 147. cooperat- ing, were simple and impressive.
 An eloquent tribute was spoken by pr. 0. A. Stillman, a close personal friend of MT. Mcdonald
 He was an honest man, one who walked uprightly before his fellowmen' declared the speaker. He lauded his kindliness, his up- right character and square treat ment of his fellows. MT. Me Donald would have been the last person to regard himself as a prominent citizen, but that is what he was" he added, There are. few whose passing will be more keenly felt, for his ac- quaintance was wide and his Friendships many. He was loyal to his friends and his friend ships,' he declared. Dr. Stillman preceded his tribute with a short biographical sketch of MT. Me- Donald.
 There were many beautiful floral offerings banked around the casket. Following the cere- monies at Efks Hall, the funeral service was concluded at the graveside in Evergreen Cemetery where the body was sinterred. The funeral cortege was one of the largest ever witnessed in Juneau

 Most of tlfe virtues ascribed to this stone are traceable to its un- conquerabIe hardness. or to it's transparency and purity The 7in- dus chased diamonds according tc tho four castes-the Brahmfn. or pure white diamond, gave power, friends and riches; the coral red and the saffron yellow were exclu- sively the gems of kings.

The World and All


In this column il has been proposed and advocated
that persons convicted Of premeditated murder be
given their choice Of eiectrocution or life imprison-
ment, with the understanding that the latter sentence
would carry with it liability &c use for medueal exper-
imentation.
The Davenport 1owa) Democrat and Leader,
commenting on this proposal. says:
"why not? Mr.. Driscoll's suggestions are worthy
of serious consideration. There are people. we know.
who will object to them, but the idea that people who
take life might well expiate their crimes BY being tina
means of saving other lives is worth thinking aboEt."
This is the first commendatOry word I've seen about
my pet proposal in print. ! pass il on to you with the
prediction that q few years will bring many columns
of discussion on this subject.
II is very important. IL il altogether practicable.
Only a certain widespread squsamishness about sub
jecting living humans to experiments that might kill
them stands in the way Of full and complete discussion
Of this idea by humanitarian folk.
We are willing to strangle a man to death with a
rope drawn tight about his neck, in the name Of the
law. or to put him to death by passing mysterious cur
rents through his body. but we are not willing 10 let
