ELKS FLAG DAY PROGRAM DRAWS
 BUMPER HOUSE
M al ny Organizations Par. ticipate in Lodges An
 nual Flag Exercises

"Or real, best interests are sub served by loyal support of the Government, and in reality the in dividual's interest is identical with that of the common interest" de- clared John B. Marshall, orator, at the Elks' Flag Day exercises last night. The biggest crowd in years attended the ceremonies which were preceded by Flag parade through some of the business districts.
 MT. Marshall's address was brief and interesting A feature of the program, added at the last minute, were three solos by Laurence A. Lambert, manager of the Westmins- ter Glee Club, and short talk by him on that organization which is to visit Juneau in the near future.
 In his address MT. Marshall call ed attention to the fact that a distinguished scientist, in a a re- cent book, asserted that notwith- standing the great progress in the natural sciences, social science or the art of government was ineffi- cient and reactionary. The speaker emphasized the distinction: that natural science has progressed be- cause the pursuit of knowledge has full play and is limited only by the ingenuity and application of men to their tasks in reading the book of Nature. But government is a restriction upon the individual liberty, and self-interest is some times antagonistic to the common veal. This antagonism, he argued, is more apparent than real, and the best interest of the individual is identical with that of the common interest, he said.
 Mrs. E. M. Goddard's rendition of the history of the flag, illustrated with the different flags used at various times by the country, was splendid A vocal solo by Miss Evelyn Judson, accompanied by Miss Gladys Naghel, was another feature.
 Mir Lambert's three solos were well received. He was accompan- jed by Mrs. Fern Vance at the piano.
 Music was furnished by the Ju- neau City Band. Organizations appearing in the parade were: Elks, Moose, American Legion, Moose Legion, Volunteer Bremen, Boy Scouts, Juneau City Band and a large number of children.

PALACE THEATRE MANAGEMENT IS
 CHANGING HANDS
Popular Theatre Is Taken Over by Mrs. J. H. Cam
 and Mae Pauly

The management of the Palace Theatre in Juneau will change to- morrow.
 Papers were signed this morning whereby Mrs. J. H. Cam, wife of J. H. Cam, part owner of the Cas- tineau Hotel and Miss Mae Pauly, who has been the popular leader of the Palace Orchestra for several years, will assume control of Ju- neau's popular theatre having pur- chased all interests held by MT. and Mrs. John T. Spickett.
 Both of the new associations in the Palace Theatre are wellknown in this city. Miss Pauly comes from a wellknown tlaeatricsl familT, he,; father having been in the business for years in Seattle and vicinity, now owner of the theatre at Kirk land, Wash, and she has also been connected with theatre life for years, not only in management but as orchestra leader.
 A new policy will be inaugurated at the Palace under the new man. agement about the middle of July. In the meantime orders will be sent south by airplane for new furnishings and carpenters and decorators will be busy for several weeks but this will not interfere with the regular moving picture shows until certain interior changes will require a brief closing of the Palace in July. The plans are to make many drastic changes all for the better accommodations of the public.
 Spicketts Retire
 The recent operation on John T.. Spickett in the south, from which he is gradually recovering, and his present poor health, are mainly re- sponsible for the Spicketts retiring from the amusement business in Juneau in which they have been affiliated since 1912, when they op- ened the Orpheum on Main Street and Willoughby Avenue. In 1916 the Spicketts took over the man. agement of the Palace Theatre from Perry Jackson The theatre at that time had only been constructed and operated for about four months. The Spicketts also operated the Dream Theatre for IS months at the same time managing the Pal ace.
 Both MT. and Mrs. Spickett were identified with Juneau progress for years previous to managing the Orpheum. They have proved to be popular theatre managers, giv- ing the public the best attainable and express sincere thanks to the citizens for patronage and heartily solicit continued patronage for the new management of the Palace.

STOWAWAY ABOARD

PARIS, June 15.--A Havas Agency dispatch from Santander said a stowaway, Arthur Schereiber, of Portland, Maine. who had not suf- fered from the long voyage, was under intense emotion when the Yellow Bird landed on the flight from Old Orchard, Maine, to Paris.
 The Agency dispatch said that on account of the great quantity of gasoline necessary to enable the plane to complete the journey and the difficulty in transporting it to the plane, the resuming of the flight may be delayed.
 The three men on the Yellow Bird were unaware of the stowaway until in full flight.

DEPARTURE DELAYED


 SANTANDER, June IS. - The French fliers nave postponed their departure for Paris until tomorrow. The three fliers and their stow away impatiently waited while re- pairs were made to the plane.
 The three fliers, Jean Assolant, Rene LeFevre and Armeno Lotti, Jr, disappointed thousands who were awaiting their arrival at Le- bourget Field.
 The flight from Old Orchard, Maine, to the Spanish beach, dis tance of $500 miles was made in 30 hours and 9 minutes.
 Assolant blamed the stowaway for the fuel shortage and conse- quent failure to land in France, explaining that it was necessary to release some precious petrol from the tanks as soon as Schrieber was discovered aboard, in order to gain height. He said he had not count ed on extra weight when he esti- mated his fuel load.
