INTERNATIONAL
! TOURNAMENT
Tho fourth series In the Interna
tional Bowling tournament took
place last night on the Elks' allays
with results highly satisfactory to
the Skagway team. The bowlers
were in great form and toppled
2625 pins. The second game • was
probablv the most remarkable game
e»er rolled in Skagway, not by rea
son of the high score, but because
of the fact that no a single "sluff"
was made. This errorless bowling
■vas continued uuta tne seventh
frame of '.he third game, so that a
grand total of sixteen consecutive
frames was rolled without an error.
The score in detail foliovs:
W. C. Blanchard 165 191 191 547
Selmer 1S3 172 2o2 557
Kennedy 137 193 17S 50S
A. C. Blanchard 165 173 167 507

Total 26 2"
Scores made last night by other
teams were:
Treadwell 2556.
Juneau, 2429.
TVhitehorse, 2551.

Treadwell, 10.19S.
"VVhltehorse, 9,905.
Skagway, 9,865.
Juneau, 9.S42.
Dawson, 9.660.
I A feature of the games last night
was the side line rooting of Judge
Conway, and the bowlers responded
nobly to his exhortations and plead
ings. The Judge firs: discarded his
hat, then warming up to the work
laid aside his coat, then his vest,
then—but modesty forbids us to
say more!

RERXUOFER RECITAL
TRIUMPH FOR SINGER
Juneat' Empire: Miss Mary Bern
I hofer, of Skagway, Alaska, who
; fled Europe and her vocal studies in
Ber.-ii dui^ng the war to return to
j tie country of peace, delighted an
audieno« that completely filled Elks
hall last night, when she made her
first appearance in Juneau in song
; recital. She was assisted by Miss
Edith Kempthorne, pianiste, and
Mr. Willis E. Nowell, violin.
Miss Bernhofer Is not a Tetras
'iini, neither la sho a Schumann
j 'leincU; not yet—but a career of
great brilliancy is within her grasp
I i'ossessing a dramatic style so rare
j in a beginner, this charming daugh
ter of the North sings the most
j difficult selections with the poise
' and control of our greatest Divas. It
13 this confidence in lier voice that
will aid Miss Bernhofer's rapid as
| cent to lame and fortune, critics wli
I heard her last night agree. Misa
I Bernhofer's difficult part of the
I I'rogram was carried out mirum in
[ vaodum, and it was to an audieiico
that gave attentive ears to every
. trill, every note. Miss Bernhofer
| -.vas given au ovation when she
. ".epped to the stag-?, and the spon
taneous applause that greeted her
I when she appeared en testume for
; Gounod's Jewel Song from Faust,
I '.'ore evideuce to the impression she
created. As Margahritn, Miss Bern
■ hofer was at her best. She sang
Ithis selection with perfect ease
:rid her interpretation of the part
was superb.
Miss Bernhofer expects to leave
iin two or three weeks for
Seattle, aud, It is possible
! will visit other coast cities
this summer, la pursuit of her
studies. Miss Bernhofer has 110
J intention of going East, she said
this morning, and her plans for the
completion of her musical education
aro Indefinite.
The Elks today received a wire
j from Lieut. Benedict of Fort W.
i H. Seward asking If a bowling game
could be arranged for tonight be
tween the Elks' team and the Fort
team, and reply was at once Bent
requesting the Lieutenant to "bring
'cm along." Three games will
be played. It is not known just
when the soldiers will arrive, but
tne game will probably start betwee
7 and 8 p. m.
"Open House" will not be declar
ed on account of the performance
to be given at Elks hall by the
Haines natives.

CHICAGO AI TO SHOW
displays ni:w idkas
Chicago, Jan. 23—Nearly 100
automobile concerns and twice as
many manufacturers of accessories
were represented by exhibits at the
annual Chicago Automobile show
which was formally opened at the
Coliseum and in the First regiment
armory today. Practically all the
exhibits came from the New York
show in Grand Central palace.
The Coliseum had all the appear
n .ices of a huge conservatory when
the doors were thrown open. The
floor was carpeted with green,
booths were half-concealed by palms
cud evergreen arid the scenic roof
effects earriefl -out the same idea.
The show will continue for oue
week. A large attendance of trades
men is expected this yer-r because
' f the fact that a large number of
compauies are revealing new models
Ihls year. Several dealers' con
ventior.r, will be held early next
week and the loop hotels are pre
paring to handle big crowds.
Visitors to the show today noted
>vith delight changes in the designs
that will make touring next summer
less of a dust bath. Not only are
the motors on the 1915 cars being
made much lighter, with smaller
bore and longer stroke than in
former years, but the aeroplane is
beginning to influence the lines of
the automobile body.
The smooth, stream lines of the
aii-ship, by which they move with a
minimum of friction through the
air, have been copied by the auto
manufacturers. They say that it
not onlv adds to the looks of the
car, but means smaller clouds of
dust and more comfort for road
travelers.

San Francisco, Jan. 23—Real dis
tress is being experienced by thou
sando of persons in California this
winter and the army of unemployed
is larger that wa3 ever before
known in the West, according to
the report of the commission of
immigration and housing of Cali
fornia, which was designated by
Governor Hiram Johnson to devise
means of relief. Besides the horde
of migratory, seasonal labor in
California, thousands of persons
have recently been attracted to the
state with the idea of securing em
ployment at either tho Panama-Pa
cific or the Panama-California ex
positions.
In California, known as the
"iand of plenty," it is very excep
tional for municipal wood yj.rds and
tree lodging houses to be taxed to
capacity, or, under normal condi
tions, for any large number to bo
iii need of food or shelter, and it
is the unusual Influx of strangers
added to the usual army of unem
ployed that has brought about this
condition. The management of tho
Panama-Pacific Exposition, alone,
has receiver recently 100,000 appli
cations for employment. The pleas
ing prospect of seeing the exposi
tion without being out of pocket has
irompted 10,000 women to file ap
plications for work at the exposi
tion, while the number of posi
tions open to women will be limited
to 1,000. The applicant hail from
every corner of the United States,
and many of them, have come west,
without waiting for their applica
tions to be answered. One store in
San Francisco received in Decem
ber, 1914, 177 personal applications
from women for work, of which 110
v. ere made by Eastern women who
are in San Francisco and jobless,
the majority of them attracted by
the expositions.
The commission of immigration
and housing of California has devis
ed plans for temporary relief of the
unemployed, as well as measures to
prevent a recurrence of the trouble
in the future, and the commission
is sending out warning to persons
contemplating a trip to California,
v. ith the expectation of getting
work of any kind, advising only
those to come west, who have means
of support.
