NAMES DzALOFF, SAREN AS ME N WITH WEAPONS
'Kinky' Describes Bolt and Stove Leg Carried by
 Accused Union Men
CLUB STATEMENT IS
 LAID TO AL NYGREN
Mcdonald Says Union Head Said If You Want Them,
 There's Clubs in Hall'

Lloyd "Kinky" Bayers, son of well known pioneer Juneau family and one of the men who marched down Front Street the day of the al- legged street riot last June 24, occu- pied the witness stand for the gov- ernment this afternoon and identi- fled a number of the defendants now on trial as men he said partici- pated in the alleged riot. In clear tones and with self assurance the widely known basketball player reel ed off the names of the defendants, many of whom he explained he had known for years.
 Among the defendants he named as taking part in the trouble were John Ekovich, c. W. Tiny Farlin, Marion Warner, Ed Rennie, Simon Graner. Sven Saren. Evan Dxaloff, Stanley Nygren, Warren Teavert and N. R. Correll.
 Had Stove Leg
 Saren, Bayers said, had a stove leg in his hand when he saw him in the human blockade near the union hall and Dzaloff had bolt about 10 inches long in his hand The witt ness explained that he didn't see either of the men using the instru- ments as weapons. Graner, he charged, was choosing" everybody in sight, meaning men in the march ing forces. The other men he named. Bayers said, were just pushing and showing and attempting to keep the men from passing along the street near the union hall.
 The witness testified that U. s. Marshal William T. Mahoney had asked the union men to break up and let the marchers through but had been greeted with booes and jeers. Bayers estimated there were about 800 men in the column of men wishing to return to work and about 150 or 200 in the ranks of the oppos- ing union men. Asked on cross exam ination how he knew about 500 men wanted to return to work, Bayers stated the city poll which was taken about that time proved it. He denied that anyone in the marchers' ranks had weapons other than police and special police officers that day.
 Dressed That Way
 The witness identified himself in several pictures and when Defense Counsel implied "Kinky" had been fighting because he had no coat on and his sleeves rolled up, Bayers re- piled that was the way he dressed

BAD EFFECT OF CANADA TREATY
 TOLD CHAMBER
Halibut Tariff Cited by AL len Shattuck--Play
 Cast Guests

That the recently-ratified United States Canada Trade Treaty will prove diSadvantageous to Alaska was pointed out by Allen Shattuck at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon at the Terminal Cafe today.
 The tariff on halibut has been cut, under the Trade Treaty, from 2 cents to cent. MT Shattuck said, which will result in further difficulty in persuading halibut fishermen to sell their catches in Alaskan ports Un- der the existing halibut fishing reg ulations, MT. Shattuck said, halibut boats are required to remain idle for certain periods, and as result the fishermen have been in the habit of employing the idle time in mak- ing the trip to Prince Rupert or Se- attle in the hope of receiving bet ter prices, or that the prices might rise while they were enroute. With the tariff reduction in effect, hali- but sales in Prince Rupert will con sequently be increased.
 The matter was referred to the Halibht Committee of the Chamber composed of Wallis s. George, Allen Shattuck, and F. w. McDermott. MT George stated that it is doubtful that anything can be done to remedy the condition at the present time but suggested that the Chamber of Con- merce work with an association of halibut fishermen. who will lodge protests against the existing regu- lations within the near future.
 MT. Shattuck also mentioned the need for tariff on pulpwood, which Is prohibited by the new trade treaty

JUNEAU PUBLIC LIBRARY MARKS
 NAT. BOOK WEEK
Ann Col em an, Libarian, Stresses Need of Library
 in Adult Education

Celebrating National Book Week in it's own fashion, the Juneau Public Library reported. for the first time in the history of the library, a junior circulation which topped the adult one by a margin which, though not considerable, was indicative of the growing need for more books suit ed to youngster consumption - a need which has existed ever since, in the first Juneau Library in 1914, the children's reading room was relegat- ed to a bathroom.
 Stressing this need. and, indeed, the general needs of the entire H. brary, Miss Ann Coleman, librarian, said today. "The task of free public libraries is to maintain the intelli- gence which schools exist to cre- ate. To have compulsory education without an adequate free public li- brary is like raising crop and fail- ing to harvest 1t. We cannot aban- don our education at the schoolhouse door. We have to keep it up through life"
 Although the library is in dire need both of increased floor-space and larger supply of books, it's af- fairs, states Miss Coleman, are prob- ably in a more healthy state today than at any time in it's turbulent career. Situated on the top floor Of the City Hall, it has at it's disposal a children's room, reading room, mag azine room, and circulation room. Approximately 5000 books occupy it's shelves. Of the adult books, 1900 are non-fiction and 1783 are fl tion. Thirty-five books a month are added. An average of 225 persons borrow books each day of the week, and al- most as many more visit the reading room. Limited funds provide the services of part-time assistant, Mrs. Robert B. Piercy.
 To persons familiar with the shelves of the endowed libraries of the States, these figures may seem negligible, but to those who have followed Juneau's quest for culture they are fraught with promise. Among these latter are many who remember when, in 1914, under the auspices of the Draper Club, the first Juneau Library opened it's doors at 222 Third Street, frame building now occupied by the Hand Laundry

C NM A NDER GREAT FLEET
 PASSES AWAY
Lord Jellico Led Battle for British at Jutland,
 Then Removed

LONDON, Nov. 21.--Lord Jellicoe, British Admiral, who died yesterday, was the commander of the greatest fleet the world has ever known in the greatest naval engagement since the days of sail.
 He led the British at the Battle of Jutland, fought May 3l, 1916, between the British Grand Fleet and the German High Seas Fleet.
 Jellicoe had been appointed to the command of the grand fleet soon af- ter the beginning of the world war. The opposing commander was Ad- miral von Scheer. The indecisive re- suit of the engagement caused much subsequent controversy.
 On the one hand, Jutland has been claimed as a British victory since the German fleet remained practically immobilized in port from that day until it's surrender after the armistice. On the other hand, the weaker German fleet inflicted more damage than it received and managed to make good it's escape at the end of the action when it might have been annihilated.
 Relieved of Command
 Jelhcoe was widely criticized for his handling of the British fleet, which was considered by some to have been over-cautious and woeful- ly lacking in the Nelson touch" It occasicned no surprise, therefore, when at the end of the year "the little admiral" in spite of his inn mense popularity with his men and his great gift as an organizer, was re- lieved of his command.
 He became First Sea Lord and later Chief of Naval Staff. In both capacities he rendered service to the general conduct of British naval op- erations. His heart, however, seemed always to be with the grey ships

INDIANS CHARGE PROMISES
HAVE NOT BEEN KEPT

Los. Angeles.-California's $4,000
Indians are on warpath, White Man
fashion, organizing the california
Indian Rights Association" to make
themselves heard in Washington,
where the Great White Father makes
his medicine.
The tribesmen organized behind
educated and cultured Thomas Largo,
their sachem, who charged:
"Not one promise made by the gov
eminent in it's treaties of the 1868
has ever been kept with the Cali
fornia Indians"
A survey of California reservations
made by five delegates of the associ-
alton revealed. Largo said, that "the
Indians lie around with nothing to do
except when they are given employ
ment in nearby farms and orchards"
"They could be busy raising enough
vegetables and crops if the govern
ment would develop water and give
them tools and horses" he said.

lima of wines made in other states
prior to ratification of the wine act
by the 1885 General Assembly is not
permitted nor contemplated by the
bill although the beverages may have
been made from fruits, grapes or ber-
ries grown in the State, Attorney
General Seawell held Tuesday.
The attorney generals opinion was
rendered upon the request of William
A. Graham, state commissioner of
agriculture, who is charged with ad-
ministration of the wine act.
Seawell said that he had made no
attempt to answer completely the
question concerning manufacture of
wines outside the state since ratifica-
tionf of the North Carolina act where
products from this state are used.
Some differences Of opinion ap-
peared on this point after the at
torney generals ruling had been re-
leased. Seawell explained that his rul-
ing on the outside manufacture prior
to the act was in answer to specific
question asked by Graham.

DRIVERS LICENSES TO BE
ISSUED AFTER JULY 1ST

The new drivers licenses will be
ready to issue to drivers by July Oh
very soon thereafter, despite the fact
that it will not become mandatory to
have these licenses until November 1,
it was learned from official sources
in the department of revenue. Those
who wait until November 1 or there
after to obtain their drivers licenses
will have to pay 81 for each license.
But between July / and November l
the licenses may be obtained without
charge.
Persons who have driven an auto
mobile for year or more without
ever having had an accident or with
out ever having been arrested or con-
victed of violating any of the traffic
laws, will be issued a drivers license
without any examination. But those
who are not able to qualify to get a
license without an examination must
pass certain driving tests before OBJ
tanning their licenses. These driving
tests-which will also probably in
clude tests for reading signs, color
blindness vision and hearing as we'll
as familiarity with the traffic laws
will be given by squads of highway
patrolmen, according to present
plans. A squad Of three or four pa
trolmen will probably be assigned to
eertain counties and towns on certain
dates to examine applicants for driv-
ers' licenses.
