 Fined $100

When Richard Whittemore, fore man of the bricklaying force on the Capitol Building was struck Satur- day evening by an automobile. driv- en by William Galan, former taxi operator, both of them experienced injurious effects. Whittemore was damaged physically and Galan fi- nancially.
 Whittmeore is reported to have been crossing Front Street from the Club Restaurant to the Pio- neer Barber Shop. Other than that he intended to cross the street, he could recall nothing of the accident when he regained consciousness an hour or SO later in St. Ann's Hos- pital. He was cut and bruised on the left side of the face, three stitches being taken i'll wound over his left eye, and his left hip was slightly hurt. With forehead bandaged, he resumed work this morning.
 When Galan was arrested, a knife with a blade about six inches long was found in his possession. No charge in connection with the auto mobile accident was lodged aganist him inasmuch as he insisted Whit temore was walking in the street away from a crossing, but the ac- cusation of carrying a concealed weapon was preferred.
 Galan pleaded guilty. His au- tomobile drivers livense was can celled, and he was fined $100.

 This season 800 tons of coal were delivered to the Office of Educa- ton for various schools for the first time. The coal is giving perfect satisfaction. Other bureaus using coal will be induced to give Alaska coal preference. And eventually when proper facilities for delivering first class product are provided, it is hoped to extend the market to cover the whole of Alaska.

 Easement

"The False Alarm, or What Makes the Fireman Angry" might have been the title of drama enacted early this morning From the alarm box on the City Dock a fire signal was given shortly after 6 o'clock Equipment was rushed to the scene by the force that sleeps in the Hall, and volunteers from the vicinity fo the Alaska Juneau mine to the neighborhood of the Scatter Tract responded promptly singly and in groups.
 Bremen swarmed over, on ano under the dock and climbed into and around nearby buildings, but there was no fire, nor even any smoke. The nearest burning thing was a harmless, smouldering bon fire on a distant hillside.
 The quick run of the depart ment was appreciated by a few night watchmen going home ane several milkmen beginning deliver ies.
 Saturday evening, the fire engine was used to pump out about foul feet of water that had collected in the cement basement that i! next to the San Francisco Bakery and which was used as a boiler room for the bursled Maloney build ing. The cement chamber ha: been covered with boards. It wa! deemed dangerous to little children who frequently played near it.
