MUCH BOOTLEGGING IS
GOING ON AT JUNEAU
1
Parties arriving from Juneau on
one of the last boats state that little
effort is being made to enforce the
dry laws in the First Division as
bootiegging is conducted openly and
liquor can be purchased in nearly
every poolhall and amusement hoifse
in any of the larger towns. Juneau
especially is said to be rampant, with
vice, prostituutes, maques, gamblers
and bootleggers flourishing, many of
the former being degenerates run out
the Third division, and there is a re
shal Brenneman.
“Something must be wrong when
conditions are such as I have seen in
the First Division’’ said our inform
ant. “I have been in every town in
the Third division and there is are
markable difference in the orderli
ness of the towns. Marshal Brenne
man and District Attorney Munly
have cleaned out the undesirables,
! and they have flocked into Juneau
! and Ketchikan where they are work
| ing unmolested.”—Valdez Miner.

Love Letter Probated as Yankee Soldier’s Will
SAN FRANCISCO.—A love letter which Harry F. Heine, of the Three Hundred
and Twenty-first held artillery, wrote to Miss Carmelita F. Cadogen was
probated in Judge Dunne's court as Heine’s last will and testament, and his
$5,000 estate was awarded to Miss
Cadogen.
The letter was written a few
A LE,?AL weeks before he fell in action. He
HOLOGRfWHlC plans another trip—a honeymoon voy
wi, , ( age—to the country he was fighting
in. The letter follows:
I il- 1 Somewhere in France.
I y “ ‘Girl o’ mine,
.1 |_ Though I am far from you,
^ ■ ■■ ai Having no power,
Singing no song to you,
Bringing no flower—’
“There, I forget the rest. I read it somewhere and it seems to fit in. 1
have had no word from you yet and hope you are well.
“I wish, dearest, that you would send me some real cigarets. Also the
* last two numbers of the ‘International Studio.’
“Ihe Liberty bonds are all paid up and they are made out in your name,
so if anything should happen to me they will come to you with the remainder
of my money and effects.
^ “The world is wonderful over here, and full is coming with its golden
leaves (and I can’t get time to paint).
“It’s wonderful here—these old towns, with their tile roofs and pictur
esque chimneys against the sky. We will come back here some time, you and
I—but perhaps I like California best by turns.
“Me are at the front now and have Fourth of July and fireworks regu
larly. Love to all, and, remember-—no worrying.”
As the letter was written, dated and signed in the handwriting of Heine,
Judge Dunne held that it was a legal holographic will, and as such admitted
It to probate.
“Professor X” Is No Longer the Great Unknown
LAMBERTVILLE, N. J. The Rev. T. J. Benzley, rector of St. Andrew’s Epis
copal church several weeks ago found a man wandering about the out
skirts. The man was ragged. His appearance was refined. His speech was
that of an educated gentleman. He
p Was una^e t° £*ve bis name, address
rATpcK ~ or history. The rector took him home,
cared for him and made his story
public, calling him “Professor X.”
Now the man has been identified
as Dr. John L. Brand of Worcester,
Mass., who has been missing for three
years.
The identification was made by his
son, Lieutenant Commander Charles L.
Brand, who is stationed at the Phil
adelphia navy yard. Commander Brand
nead the account of “Professor X” in the newspapers and instantly recognized
his father. Obtaining leave from the navy yard, he immediately went to
Liambertville.
“Professor X” was unable to recognize his son when the latter approached
him and said, “Don’t you know me, father?”
Putting his trembling hands on the epaulets of his son’s uniform, he
stared for some time directly into his son’s eyes, but he could not remember.
When he realized he had failed to recall the past, the broken old man
gave a cry and sank to the floor^. Be l^id collapsed and was virtually car
ried from the room. Later he railiedr'^HIis physician says he may recover
his memory. He will remain in Lambertville for a time.
Dr. Brand was born and educated in England, the son said, and was a
physician and musician. He had devoted himself almost entirely to research
work for some time prior to his disappearance and was au inveterate reader.
He specialized in chemical and biological research,
