WORTH FIGHTING FOR
Shall our children grow up in ttto
sort of American homes we know,
healthy and happy? Shall they have
the advantage of living and learning
in a free land, under free institu
tions? Shall such children develop
into Liberty loving citizens that a free
America may be proud of?
For over two hundred years Amer
icans have fought valiantly, and died
gallantly, to win for themselves find
hand down to their posterity the
blessings of liberty, justice, self-gov
ernment and equal opportunity. This
precious heritage, bought at so great
a price, is now threatened

up the sum of $64,000, a third of the
sum collected on the Victoria (which
amounted to $53,000) is to be allot- ,
ted in addition to Nome. The sums
received from outside precincts there
fore bring this total up to $130,350.
Considering that this season was the
dryest on record, that mining start
ed two months late at that and that
suspension of work was the general
order of things for lack of water, that
so large a section of the well to do
population left on the preceding boats
for the outside, this is quite a fine
showing and one for which the in
defatigable committee of patriotic citi
. zens w;ho had the drive in charge
, must congratulate themselves. As far

The petty Jury was called yesterday
morning in the District Court and
again excused until thi^ morning.
Thereupon the case of the United
States versus Michael Tuohy was con
tinued, the defendant being on the
stand most of the .forenoon. For the
defense U. S. Marshal Bernard J. O’
Reilly and Walter Shields of the
Bureau of Education were called and
after this testimony the defense rest
ed. The prosecution called Moran
to the stand again and his testimony
in rebuttal was being taken when the
court adjourned until one thirty yes
terday afternoon.
The case reached the arguments
about half past two in the afternoon,
when G. J. Lomen district attorney
addressed the Jury until three o’clock,
being followed by Messrs Orton and
Cochran for the defense, Mr Orton
speaking for twcjpty and Mr Cochran
for forty minutes, G. J. Lomen then
closing for the prosecuion with an
address of half an hour. It was af
ter five o’clijck when the jury retired
after receiving the instructions of
the court to consider their verdict,
which was returned after the jury
had adjourned deliberations for din
ner. The verdict was “not guilty” as

ad been apparently expected by all
hose who followed the testimony,
"he attorneys for the defendant con
lucted the case In an exceptionally
ble manner.
Jack Leach who some time ago
iras the victim of a paralytic stroke
eft for the Qutside om the Cordova,
le has been slowly improving in the
ondition of his health for the past
ew days. Before he left his friends
if the Pioneers of Alaska collected
. purse to present to the sick man.
After jury roll call this morning at
en o’clock in the District Court, the
:ase of the United States versus Chas
iVolfe was called, the defendant be
ng charged in a formal complaint
sworn out by Geo B. Mundy, formerly
j. s. Attorney of the Second Division,
With violating the selective service
ict. The defendant appearing in
;ourt was duly arraigned and in an
swer to the Court’s question if he
svas ready to plead replied in a firm
voice that he was. The Court then
asked him his plea and he replied
“Guilty, your Honor.” There follow
ed a pause in the proceedings while
the Court decided the time for the
sentence, finally announcing that he
would sentence the defendant tomor
row morning at ten o’clock. The case
of Charles Anderson who has been in
dieted for assault with intent to com
mit rape was called and the work ol
jury selection took the entire fore'
noon. As in preceding cases the faci
that many of the talesmen had hearc
the alleged facts in the case, and hac
formed decided opinions as to th<
guilt or innocence of the accused
caused quite a large number to b<
disqualified. This greatly increase*
the delay in securing the jury.
