 At 9:17 o'clock a woman resident of Baldwin street informed Mrs F. Francis Bailey Platt, principal of the HOpeville school that the roof of the old annex was on fire. Mrs Platt telephoned to fire headquart- CTS and four companies responded. The blaze was found burning briskly about the chimney of the old wooden building, which houses the fourth and fifth grades. The children with out any evidence of fright or dis order marched out of the old and new buildings. The pupils in the new structure were reassembled and ushered back to their class rooms. very plainly jealous of the young sters, who were given an unexpect- ed holiday.
 The fire broke out through the room of the annex, but members of the fire department made quick work in extinguishing it. School Inspector John White was on the scene shortly after the firemen had gained control and estimated that the damages could be repaired with in two or three days.
 Mrs Platt handled the trying sit uation very nicely. She cancelleu the morning recess so as to avoid having the children see the fire ap- paratus parked in the school yard and in the vicinity of the school.
 The conduct of the youngsters when the alarm was sounded was excellent. They walked out of the buildings in splendid fashion When the youngsters of the fourth and fifth grades were dismissed. the others returned to their rooms and "carried on' nicely.
 The fire in the New England Banana Company was discovered at 3:45 o'clock. The blaze started on the second floor. Considerable water poured into the store, dam aging the produce stored there by the company. The building is owned by the estate of the late Michael r.

The last two veterans organizations to file legal papers in connection with the fund are the 304th Infantry association and the Yankee Division Veterans association. Corp Coyle post of the American Legion and Wheeler Young post, Veterans of Foreign Wars have both filed applications in superior court asking that they be cited in as party defendants to the action begun by Attorney William E. Thoms and Lewis $. Reed.
 Frederick w. Rowe, treasurer of the I'D association, appointed by that body to act as committee of one to put in claim for the fund. stated this morning that he felt the I'D had just claim but would not be dragged into any fight over it.. Continuing he said, "Our associa- functioned continuously ever since. Our men all saw actual service in the trenches and were in the trenches at the time the fund was raised. We know the histories of many of these men who are. in need to-day and We feel we are peculiar ly fitted to administer to their needs. However, if there is any seri- ous contention as to our claim we shall re'inquish our rights. We will not be dragged into a fight. We feel our claim is just.'
 Attorney Carmine Cipriano has been engaged by the I'D to present the association's claim in legal manner. He was occupied in pre- pairing draft of the legal form for presentation in superior court.

LOCAL CHAMBER AGREES
 WITH SECT. WILBUR,
 YOUNG MEN 60 NORTH'

Endorsing the recent suggestion of Secretary Wilbur of the Depart ment of the Interior, the Sew ard Chamber of Commerce yeS- terday went on record advocating and inviting men and families, prospective bona fide settlers, to come to Alaska as permanent res idents. Copies of the resolution will be forwarded in the next mail.
 Considerable discussion took place prior to passage among which it was pointed out that Juneau, which chamber organiza- tion protested against Mir. Will bur's suggestion, was not the spokesman for Alaska, represent ing but fraction of the Terri tory.
 Another point brought out was that there were many opportuni- ties north and west of Juneau and that few present day Alaskans came to Alaska with their pock- cts lined with gold; the majority came North to make a stake.

 90 Days In Jail  Girard Charged With Theft of Suit, Refuses to Talk

George Girard, 29, of 41S South Main street, who took complete ad- vantage of his constitutional rights not to answer any question tending to incriminate himself, was given three months in jail to-day by Judge T. V. Meyer for the alleged theft of a suit. The young man would have fared better had he showed an inclination to talk.
 He was accused of stealing suit owned by a friend, Emil LaPointe. When asked where he got the clothes Girard became too "cagey". T have nothing to say" was his first response. The question, Where did you get the suit?" was repeated twice and both times the answer was the same, "I didn't take the suit" Judge Meyer abandoned all hopes of getting any information from the &C., circumstances and remarked three months in jail"
 Charles Murphy of Charles street was fined $5 and costs for breach of the peace and received a suspend ed sentence on the charge of resist ance. Daniel Murphy, brother, was fined $5 and costs for breach of the peace and $25 and costs for re- sistance. The court commenting on the case stated that Daniel Mur- phy was lucky not to receive a se- were jail sentence. Only the fact that he was beaten on the head with a blackjack and suffered painful lacerations the jail sentence would have been imposed. The two young

for political power, and thirdly, a struggle between states.
 Free competition has destroyed itself. Economic hegemony has taken the place of freedom of markets. Greed for power has succeeded to desire for wealth, and our whole economy has thus became terribly hard, memorable and cruel"
 Referring to relations in interna- tional economy, the encyclical said:
 "A double current is issuing forth -on the one side, nationalism or economic imperialism, on the other side something equally menacing and excreable, banking internationalism or international imperialism of mon- ey, whose fatherland is found where wealth is.
 ."The state does not do anything hostile but rather makes for friendly action when it endeavors to bring capital and labor together for the sake of the common welfare.
 "State intervention in this sense does not injure, but rather strnegth- ems, the principle of private prop erty."
 Taking into consideration the present-day situation, we deem it wise that as far as possible, labor contract should be somewhat tenn pered by profit-sharing plans, and this is already being done in one form or another.
 Wealth is produced solely through the workers labor, either manual of mechanical. No people rose from want to wealth except through common labor by managers and workers.
 "It should not be forgotten, how ever, that their common efforts are but futile unless God had given the natural wealth Of nature.'

 briefly the principles expounded by the text.
 The encyclical adhered to the his- toric division between the classes of capital and labor, holding that the Creator decreed such a division and that it was forever unchangeable. but it was made clear that there must be a grading-up of the conditions of the lower levels of mankind in order that they might enjoy the ben efits of modern improvements and greater productivity.
 Underlying the entire document was apparent the desire that the laborer be granted fair wage. compatible with the requirements of social justice, even though this entailed a reconstruction of the present economic system in some degree. At the same time, while admitting that some phases of lib- eral thought have approached the ideals of the church, the principle of Pope Leo's "Rerum Novarum" con- corning the impossibility of com promise with socialism was reiter- ated and the theory of private ownership was reaffirmed.
 SuCn OWuerSHip, HOWcVcTs muo' be upon an enlightened basis which would take heed of the good of all society, it was made clear. Referring to the menace of trusts and the accumulation of wealth and power, the encyclical said:
 This power becomes despotic in the hands of those who, possessing money, dominate credit and control loans. Such people are, in a sense, distributors of the blood whereby the economic organism lives. They have the soul of economy in their hands; no one can breathe without their permission. Thus there is a concentration of power"
 ''This Is the result of temporary economy with unrestrained compe- tition, allowing only the strongest to survive. That is most violent and most conscienceless.
