The Fairbanks Citizen publishes h
retort courteous from Rex Beach
upon a news item published In the
Citizen stating that a squaw named
Annie in the Federal Jail laid claim
to having been the consovt at one
time of the famed Literal Light,
the Citizen at that time declaring
that there was liarly any
question as to the truth
of the statement.. Rex answers in
good humor, answering the charge
by denying the soft impeachment
and questioning the sanity of the
Citizen scribe, i'he Cit'vtn nothing
loth capitalizes the Beach letter
and publishes it In full together
with an amende honorable.
Whereat in the language of the
courts, justice appears to be satis
fied.

Doctor Wesley also exposed the or
dinance ah tob stout for him, and
although Poteet stood out manfully
on the first two motions, introduc
ing and ordering the second reading
by title, he voted “yes” on the final
passage of the bill. Not a single
argument was advanced suggesting
t&e propriety or the advisability of
the new law; it had neither de
fenders nor boosters nor did any
one venture to expound its purport.
After the meeting Va8 caned t0

MORE RIOTS
NEW York, Feb. 26.—Hundreds J
of women again engaged the police j
in a food fight in this city. The po- !
lice applying energetic measures fin- ]
ally succeeded ill dispersing the j
rioters.
While the police are able by a |
display of force to overawe the |
tVOtaen, unless something is done, R '
is held to be only a matter of time
until they are provoked for lack of
food for themselves and their fami
lies to most desperate measures.
The situation is serious beyond
words and thousands are going
without food or such a supply as
is insufficient to sustain life for any
length of time. •
