"The grand jury called by the
above entitled court on the 12th day
of January A. D., 1914, now in ses
sion, hereby respectfully represents:
"That it as a body does resent
and ; rotest against the attion of the
prosecuting attorney in filing and
causing to be published, an affidav
it charging certain members of said
grand jury with conduct unbecoming
grand jurors, in refusing to find a
true bill against the defendant in
the above entitled matter.
We as grand jurors feel that the
action we have taken in this matter
was don© with due regard to the
oaiii each of us has takeu as a ju
ror; that all evidence adduced be
fore us was duly weighed and con
sidered: and that such evidence
"taken together', is not such as in
our judgment would, if unexplained
or uncontradicted, warrant a con
viction by the trial jury: that such
a tri.il would only result in a waste
of hte court's time, tn>'. a useless ex
pense to the govern: tit."

CHIEfi NOT
MATURED AS YET
Paris, Feb. 5—It is not believed
here today that George Carpentier,
the French champion heavyweight o
Europe will ever me :t Jack Johnson
the black. Carpentier is not yet
grown, being still under 20 years of
age and though stiil growing it will
be several years before he attains
his full weight and solidity. Until
then his managers would scarcely
risk a bout with the nogro fighter.
It is considered here as quite likely
that Carpentier may become cham
pion of the world later, winning
from Johnson's successor. It would
be the first time France ever held
such a championship.

clothing fumigated. A night shirt
is provided free of charge for every
lodger.
Iii Llii3 hotel restaurant, another
iiickel will move the following as
sortment of food your way—a beef
stew with potatoes ami vegetables, a
cup of coffee with milk and two
fat rolls. If you want a change in
menu, you can ask the gentleman
ly waiter to bring you a bowl of
soup instead of stew. For ten cents
yon cau get a "private room", but
according to W. D. Tayor, manager,
few of the regular guests squander
a dime 011 such a luxury unless the
dormitory rooms are occupied.
The new hotel was built by Chas.
C. Dawes, Chicago banker, as a
memorial to his son, who lost his
life on I^ake Geneva.Wis. The or
iginal investment was S100.000. Re
ceipts thus far have run far below

EAGLES 61
The reduction in the Initiation
lee for membership in Skagway Ae
rie, No. 25 .Fraternal Order of
Eagles, 13 being taken advantage of
by the thoughtful men of Skagway
as evidenced by the fact that sev
enteen applicaions were acted upon
at last night's meeting of this popu
lar fratferniy.
It is the intention of Skagway Ae
rie to hold a special meeting to
wards the latter end of the month
for the purpose of initiating the
large class which will be taken into
the order under the Special Dispen
sation granting a reduction of the
initiation fee for the time up to the
28th day of February.
The fact that the Fraternal Order
of Eagles is a beneficiary organi
zation, paying sick and funeral ben
efits, iu addition to furnishing its
members and those directly depend
ent upon him for support, with
medical attendance is a factor
worthy of careful consideration by
all thiuking. men, and especially
married aien with families.
Those desirous of additional in
formation relative to the advantages
o; membership in this fraternity are
requested to ask any member of the
order.
Skagway Aerie has maintained a
large membership during the past
several years, even though the
town itsc-lf has suffered somewhat
from the effects of the backward
step in the development of the
north. Thousands of dollars have
been paid out for sick and funeral
benefits, and today there is over
$1500 in cool cash in the treasury
The Aerie owns its own building
and furnishings and there is not
ojie cent of indebtedness against the
local Aerit.
