CONTINUATION
OF SNOW FALL
SAYS SUMMERS
Will Be Heavy Tonight and
Probably Sunday—Danger
Threatens Flat Roofs.
Indications point to a continuation!
of the heavy snowfall during tonight i
and probably Sunday, according t>> ■
Moteorologist M. B. Summers. In
discussing the weather conditions of,
the past three weeks, Mr. Summer-'
called attontion to the fact that . !
total of 26 inches of snow fell in
Juneau from Christmas day to 8 p. m |
yesterday, and that practically none i
of this has melted. Up to 12 .80 p j
m. today the wator equivalent of the j
snowfall that has occurred since)
Christmas was 2.05 inches, according |
to the Weather Bureau's records.
'Mr. Summers called attention to]
the danger that threatens flat roof
in Juneau that are not securely)
supported and from which there ha
been no melting of snow from heat
underneath the roof. Assuming that
no snow has melted on a roof since
Christmas day. the weight of the
accumulation is to.7 pounds per
square foot. A section of roof only i
10x10 feet In area would therefore!
sustain a weight of 1,070 pounds. As I
somo roofs may have somewhat more |
than the average depth of snow upon
them, depending upon their location, i
and slant with respect to (lie snow
hearing winds, the weight they are]
sustaining may be oven greater th in ]
tills, he said.

under indictment for murder in con
nection with the killing of Mrs.
Frady in a hotel at Miami Beach,
last winter. Mrs. Frady, a sister of
John R Thompson, restaurant owner

and died March i!, after dictating a
statement charging Frady with the
- hooting and declaring she had lived
through torment immediately preced
ing the shooting.
Mrs. Frady came to Miami Reach
about six weeks before the shooting
and Mr. Frady arrived a month later.
In her statement Mrs. Frady said
she was induced to go to Mr. Frady's
suite a bout midnight, February 25.
where he bpgan to abuse her, charg
ing misconduct, which was continued
until about 11 a. m. Sunday, when
hr threatened her wilh a pistol.

with 1,288 in 1912, according to al
announcement made here by R. I.
Halsey, Inspector In charge of th

The reason for the decrease, h
id, ia that many of tlie niodert
Japanese young men are soekim

Japanose and that the “girl fron

It is possible, said Governor Bone,
that ho will return on the North
wet tern on its next trip north and
in any event, unless something un
foreseen arises, he will return b;
the first of next month. The Gov
ernor has abandoned the idea of
going to Washington this winter.
The meeting of the Canvassing i

prevented him leaving earlier in the!

specially called to Washington,
therefore, he does not now expect
’o make the trip, he said.
