WILL ANSWER
Kenneth Hannan, who for tlie
past year has beeu one of the most
popular men in Skagway's younger
social set, having endeared him
self to all through his ever courte
ous manner, and affable and sun
shin" disposition, has decided to
give up all the pleasures oX a pri
vate and peaceful life, by offering
his services to his flag, which is
. now sorely beset by. its enemies.
Mr. Hannan is a Jamaican by
birth, and ever since he has pos
sessed the knowledge that his coun
try was raising a contingent to
send to the front, he hao expressed
his desire to join with that army
and if necessary give his life for
his country. He will sail from
Skagwav for Vancouver, where lie
I will inlist with the understanding
jtha* when ha arrives iu England,
he will be transferred to his home
comiiany.
While in the north he has bee;:
associated with the Hargravss En
glneericg company, and it is a well
I known fact that Colonel Stevenson,
| head of the company, has always
looked upon Mr. Hannan as a most
1 proficient and trustworthy lieuten
ant.
Ii is with the greatest reenng 01
rtspect and admiration that the
Daily Alaskan bids this young Brit
isher farewell, and we extend to
him our most hearty wishes that he
\ may defend his country's honor
| with the same enthusiasm that he
has at all times shown, whether it
was while overcoming some business
problem, a tennis match, or climb
ing the lofty mountain peaks,

ENDORSEMENT
15 NECESSARY
Juneau, Jau. 9—The case of
John D. McKee, incident of the
Mercantile Trust company of San
Francisco represented by Attorney
j LeFevre against Martin Conway, Un
ited States commissioner at Skag
way, for $4,000 alleged duo on a
promisory noto given to R. T. Hoop
er, an employe of tho bank, is not
only complicated but intensely in
teresting.
The uote was assigned by Hooper
to McKee *n consideration of $1.00
Hooper since the original transac
tion in which he took an option on
some mines owned by Conway in
Rainy Hollow defaulted and was
sen* to the penitentiary.
Conway is represented py uuum
json iv Robertson. He claims that
: when Hooper took an option on
11ho mines l'or $750,000 he sold
! them to a syndicate, paid $25,000
j to McKee, Anderson and to Hooper,
! of which Conway received no mon
ey, but that finally Conway did get
j payment of $4,000 and was asked
[ to sign a raceipt. The options ex
pired without being taken up and
now comes the receipt in the form
j of an illeged note transferred from
Hooper to McKee without any no
1 tice whatever to Conway, so the let
ter claims. This note is alleged to
have been giveu Lu 1907 and the
firs* notice received by Conway was
by letter in 1909, so he claims.
A motion for a directed verdict
I bv LeFevre for his client was de
j nied by Judge Jennings, so was a
[motion for a directed verdict In rev
ivor of Conway, Judge Jennings,
I however pointed out that no place
in the pleadings or in the deposi
I tiens submitted was it shown, that
:he alleged nota had beeni endorsed;
! that it was assigned. An assigned
note, his honor stated, docs not ac
([Uir» a legal, but an eouitable title,
j In fait, the court laid great stress
: upon t!>e difference in law between
an assigned note and an endorsed
note, but said in order to make no
mistake and to be certain of all
authorities touching upon the case,
he would take it under advisement
until Alonady.
The-jury trying the case con
