Funds for the occasion are already |
available, in making preparations for

tions and other prominent visitors j
this season.
While there will be the customary
baseball tournament and at least onej
or two special features, the children's I
sports will be played up more than
usual, more money being allotted, for
prizes for the youngsters than In I
previous years A special commit

sports program. J. L. Gray was|
named to look after the baseball
tournament.
Other committees appointed last'
night Included, Maj. Geo. D. Beau
mont, Jack Hayes and T. E. P. Kee-t
gan, parade, and William Fry, Mar
tin Lavenik and W. R. Garster, dance, j
Two bands, the local white organi-j
zation, and the Indian band which
has been contributing its services !
to various occasions recently, will,
probably be employed for the cele-i
bratlon and will be In the line oL
march in the parade. Maj. Beaumont)
said he expected to see personally;
every automobile owner in town and I
urge them to enter their machines, i
Three teams are expected to com-,
pete for the tournament money, which j
will probably be $150. These will]
be the local Fire Department team,
Douglas and a soldier team from J
Chilkoot Barracks.
The program Is expected to he com
pletely arranged by the first of next|
week. The big attraction on the first
day will be the American Legion j
smoker, July 3d. The match between!
Joe Collier and Sinclair Brown is
attracting considerable attention and
the other two bouts so far announced.)
Battling Johnson and Joe Brady, and j
Bill Beaudin and Wilson are claimed .
to be good enough in themselves to
be headliners. It is probable that
one of the baseball games will be
staged on this day, but the dates
tor the tournament had not been;
fixed today by Mr. Gray.
Invitations to Haines, Chilkoot
Barracks and Skagway to partici
pate in the celebration will be sent
out at once.
The committee still has under con
sideration an Indian war canoe race
as a special attraction. One crew
is at Haines, and is willing to enter, j
according to a telegram received yes
terday from Capt. von Grump, of
Chilkoot Barracks. If one or two
others can be located, it is under
stood that the committee is willing
to hang up a substantial purse for
the event.
ELKS AND MINE
TEAM TO CLASH
Ore-sorters and Bills Play at
City Park Tonight—
Good Game Expected.
A battle royal is expected to de
velop this evening at Olty Park
'When the Alaska Juneau, runner-up
in the City League, clash with the
Elks at 6: SO p. m. The two teams
have met only once since the season
opened and the miners cleaned up
on the BIPg in easy shape.
Bradley's ore-sorters, however, |
-vII1 be minus the services of Pur-i
makoff in the box. He did an An
nette Kellep.nan through the hatch
at the Fire Hall one night last week
and came off second best. He still
bears a sore shoulder from the trick
dive and has been shifted to third.
Motrk wiil probably 'be called In

With every intention of massacre,
dhe Elks are prepared to meet Mook.:
The Moose out lit is getting too fa
in the lead to suit the Bills and j
they expect to start after them by!
winning tonight's game.
Williams, who has had a long j
rest, is expected to go the full
route !a the box for the Elks. If
he is in shape, a close game is i
assured. •

KEEGAN IS NOW CHIEF
CONSTABLE OF JUNEAU,
B. C-; DISLIKES TITLE
I Chief Keegan lias a new title—j
lone that he doesn’t appreciate at all. |
■He is now “Chief Constable, Ju-|
neau, British Columbia," an office
I conferred on him by Jacob Graul,
Chief of Police of Cleveland, Ohio.
it isn't the title, however, that has
uipnot the genial Chief. He could
'stand being called a constable as;
! long as “Chief" accompanied it, but
when to givfc him the title it is
, j found necessary to stick Juneau in
British Columbia, the long suffer
; ing chief explodes.
“How any man with ability enough
■|to bo Chief of Police of a city the
1 size of Cleveland can be so lacking
'in knowledge about his country as to
! believe Juneau, the Capital City oft
.the great Territory of Alaska, is aj
; Canadian town is beyond my compre-l
j liension," declared the Chief. “With
' all this publicity about President
: Harding coming to Alaska and to
Juneau and pictures of the Governor's
House being run In newspapers all
I over the country, it seems almost.
! impossible for any one to be so un
I informed about where Juneau is lo
! eated,” he added.
In order to set his Cleveland broth
! or straight. Chief Keegan has pur
j chased a number of local views, in
eluding the Alaska Juneau mill, a
view of the town and Mendenhall
glacier which ho mailed today. “If
these don't convince Chief Graul, I:
guess I'll have to go back to Clove-1
land myself 011 my next vacation !
and do a little personal missionary
work,” he rumbled.

Filed in Local Court.
Renewed eclioeB ot me famous!

under the judgment of the Circuit j
Court of Appeals at San Francisco1
in 1920, are present in a suit filed
this week in the local U. S. District
Court. The action was brought by
Emery Valentine, represented by

Involves $6,750 principal and interest
amounting to several hundred dollars.
Just before Mr. Cobb sailed for
the States on the Alaska Tuesday !
he was served with papers In the'
suit, requiring an answer in 30 days j
The amount claimed, according to
the complaint filed. Is due as a bal -
ance for Interest in the mining
claims that were Involved in Tup
pela's suit against the Chichagof
company. These holdings comprised
a one-twelfth interest in the Over

en West, and a one-sixth interest In
the Porphyry lode claims at Chicha
gof. In addition it Is set up that
Mr. Valentine also owned a one
sixth interest in all sums of money
that "Tuppela received as the said
Tuppela's share for the mining, mill
ing and extracting of precious metals
from the ores obtained from the
above mentioned claims, or any of
them, by the Chichagof Mining Com
pany, in the case now pending." j
These interests, it is alleged, were1
sold to Tuppela on March 12. 1920.
or several months prior to the decls
iin of the Appellate Court, for the'
sum of $27,000.
The original case was finally set
tled by agreement, cites the com
plaint, on November 24, 1920. Mr
Valentine said since that time he has
received a total of $20,250, of which
$13,000 was paid two days after the
settlement between Tuppela and the
company and $6,750 on May 2, 1921.
He asks for interest at 8 per cent,
per annum on the latter amount from
