NOBLE IE
Members of the baseball nine from!
the White Pass shops have called on
Ye Editor singly and collectively and
yski-d him to abrogate, abolish and
txpunge the name of "Monkey i
Wrenches'by which said team was!
known, and substitute in its place th>
name, symbolical of hope and fulfilled
promise, "The North Stars."
Selah! It is done.
The reason for the change is said
to be the common impression that I
where there were nine monkey
wrenches there must be a screw loos
or else the nine were "nutty."

Sherlock Shea and Hawk
shaw Tanner Sneaked
Into House of Ill=Fame to
E vesdrop? -Se nsational
Charges Pall Flat.
When C. 13. Shelley presented a
petition signed by ll'u residents of
ijkagway to the common council ask
ing that the houses of ill fame bo re
moved from Seventh nvenu, Chris C.
Shea miule strenuous objections and
when Ui<> matter was referred to the
health and police committee, Council
man Shea asked that he be allowed
to substantiate his statements that
he removal of the houses of ill fume
was the result of pre-election promis
es made by members of the Citizen's
! ticket and that certain men were
"attempting to make money off fallen
women."
Last night the health and police
committee held an open session In the
town hall and Chris Shea was given
every chance to prove his allegations.
He failed to substantiate his state
ments.
Hacked by J. M. Tanner, Shea In
troduced four affidavits signed by him
self. Tanner, Ida Fredenbetrger and
Kitty Faith which purported to relate
;> conversation which took place in
Kitty Faith's house of prostitution on
tlie evening of June 1, between Kitty |
Faith and \V. L. S peers, proprietor of
the Horse Shoe saloon.
To hear this conversation. Shea and
Tanner publlcally admitted that they
sneakde into the house of prostitution
and eavesdropped, probably having a
iir'or arrangement with the woman.
The conversation of itself was ir
relevant and immaterial and had little
bearing upon the issue. Speers was
discussing the proposed removal with
the landlady and suggested that the
irfrls be moved to Third avenue. He
: thought the matter could be ar
ranged to the satisfaction of the prop
| erty owners.
! S peers freely admitted tills con vers
| ullon. but said that he had not known
! of any pre-election promises nor was
I was he authorized to speak for the
I property owners, that in fact the mat
ter had been discouraged by them.
Many of the statements of the af
| l'idavlts were emphatically denied by
Speers, who accused Shea of embel
I lishing the conversation to suit his
j own fancy.
Shea acted the role of a cross ex
aminer and the tedious stream of
reiteration so bored and disgusted the
audience that long before the end of
the proceedings only a handful of peo
pie remained in the room.
The meeting adjourned without any
definite action being taken. The
health and police committee, consist
ing of Messrs: liowman, Taylor and
Shea will report to the council at the
I next meeting. Mayor Ashley acted
on the committee last night in place
of Councilman Shea at the request of
the latter when he appointed himself
special prosecuting attorney.
When asked last night why he took
such an active Interest in preventing
the removal of the houses of prostitu
tion, Shea replied that his only mot
ive was to prevent "men from taking
1 money off of fallen women."
The consensus of opinion in the
council la that the houses of ill fame
j inuat be moved from Seventh avenue.
, Mayor Ashley voiced this sentiment
in strong terms and he will be backe
by every member of the council ex
cept Shea and Tanner. A location
will be decided upon that is satis
factory to all the property owners
anu where the women will be segre
gated.
MESSAGE GAME

At fi o'clock this morning the wire
It ss operator on the Princess May re- i
ceivetl a message from tli Dolphin at j
Juneau stilt i ?K that the Dolphin had
arrived in Juneau at 5 a. m. and would
he in Skagway at 2 o'clock this after

This seems to disprove the state
ments of Lieut. Jeunet and other

that wireless messages could not be
sent between Skagway and Juneau br
