But he was an exception. The rest of them haven't any hope.
 There are two Klondike women here. too.
 One is Mrs. Harriet Duryea, grad uate of the famous Boston music school. Her husband is still in Alaska. sending her from time to time. what money he can and writ ing hopefully of getting stake" and coming to her rescue.
 The other is Mrs. Anne Duran. Her memories of Alaska are bitter. Her husband. a Wisconsin railroad engineer. took the gold fever in '9S. They sold their comfortable home and went to Alaska together. Their two children are buried there. Her husband failed to find gold, they came back to the states broke. then he died. Now she is in the poor farm with the others. Tom Carstin, who made his stake" Juggling fiftypound loads on his back in the biting cold on the Dyea trail, in competition with the starving pack horses. doesn't care much about his presence in the poor farm.
 Lost my family in fire up Hunker creek way. Hunker's near Dawson. Cashing gold away with nobody you love to spend it on ain't what the poets say" he re- marks.
 Then there is Mike Hasset. For seven years he was the prosperous foreman of the rich Alaska-Juneau mining properties. He came back to the states well-to-do. Then he hit bad luck, lost health, slid into the county hospital and finally landed here in the poor farm.
 Mike Scanlon, perhaps, expresses the spirit of the sixteen. He says:
 '"Taint good for old folks to be batchin' around together always. Whoever thought. trampin' in the snow over Chilkoot Pass, that we'd ever be sittin' on iron hunks in a place like this, complainin' of cheap | teeth that don't fit. and so broke | that buyfn' a paper seems as seri- ous as investin' in a ticket around | the world?
 "Well, boys we had our fling. Got more out of it than the fellows who stay'd home nursin' their bank accounts. I've had no regrets. And | if I had a good sure grubstake next spring I'd be hittin' it up for little creek in back of Haines' Mis- sion-I know darn we'll there's gold there"
 That's Mike Scanlon's attitude. Mike doesn't care much about poet ry: but perhaps the poet who wrote the following had someone like him in mind:
 They sit at home and they dream
 andl daily,
 Raking the embers of long dead years
 But you go down to the Haunted Valley,
 Light-hearted pioneers.
 They have forgotten they ever were young, | They hear your song as an uh- known tongue. | But the Flame of God through your spirit stirs, Adventurers-0h, adventurers!

SEVERE FINES
LEVIED AGAINST
POOL HALL MEN

Nine of the 10 alleged dispensers
of cider and other soft drinks that
proved to he "har6" when tested
by chemist, were ordered to pay
fines of 5000 each in police court
late yesterday afternoon.
Judge Perkins, in view of the fact
that the complaints indicated first
offenses. is taking under considera.
ton the suspending of part of the
fines in each case.
Three of the dozen pool room ope-
rators and drink sellers who failed
to make their appearance were not
located by the officers when sought
yesterday afternoon before the ar
raignment.
All the defendants pleaded guilty
to the charge of sale and possession,
the degree of offsense being mitigat-
ed because of the fact that the bev-
erages sold were alleged to have
been of legal alcoholic content when
put on sale but fermented to such
an extent that when tested proved
to be illegal.
The l2 were arrested last Satur-
day night in series of raids staged
by Chief Oswalt and federal prohi-
bition operatives. The latter had
spent considerable time checking up
on the various pool halls in the city
before the raids were made.
Chief Oswalt had warned the pro-
prietors to discontinue the sale of
the various beverages before they
had fermented to point where they
became illegal and the raids were
the result of this warning being dis
regarded.

4 '..RA!THS OF WORKING WOMEN
AT FUNERAL OF FIFTH VICTIMS
OF CAPITALIST naturalization
{. S. Radium Corp. DOOms Them to Living DEATH Swndes
Them in Court; Even Unborn Babes Are Fore-D Doomed

ORANGE, n. j., Dec. 10.-Four
wraith-like working women, whose
death is but a matter Of days, follow
ing the coffin of a fifth who had
died from radium poisoning a few
days before-these were the living
monuments of the greed for profits
of the United States Radium Corp,
in whose Orange plant the five
working women were forced by
speed-up to wet with their lips the
poisoned brushes with which they
painted watch-dials with radium.
Their bones crumbling to pieces,
their blood thinned, all four women
workers wondered which would be
the next to suddenly collapse and
die-another victim of the United
States Radium Corp.
Mrs. Quinta Mcdonald, of 836
Highland Ave, Orange, was the
first to die from the dread disease.
Mrs. Katherine Schaub, pale as
ghost, as the disease gnawed her
vitals, collapsed during the funeral
Of Mrs. Mcdonald.

could only limp slowly and pain

fully, because the disease she in
Cured while Shaving for the United
States Corp. had shortened one Of
her legs by four inches.
Miss Grace Freyer, of Orange, is
a gruesome monument to the greed
of the United States Radium Corp.
Her jaw is being gnawed away
disintegrating little by little, from
radium poisoning.
A pension Of a few hundred dol
lars a year for the rest of their
lives-this was what capitalist
court in Newark, working as always
with the bosses, deemed a sufficient
payment for the United States Ra-
dunn Corp. to make to these five
working women whom the unbear-
able speed-up in the radium plant
had turned into living corpses.
The children, too, of these victims
of naturalization are doomed to
the slow, torturous death that ra-
dunn poisoning is, physicians state.
For the United States Radium Cor
poration had doomed them even be-
fore they were born.
