COMPLETE REPORT
OF GRAND JURY
IN VALDEZ COURT
' transportation expenses of John Holm
j berg, also charged with the crime of
murder and whom this body returned
not true bill on the 5th inst., to his
home in Sanak, and that the depart
! ment would undoubtedly also author
ize him to pay for the transportation
! of John Kilgonok.
While, no doubt, the department will
authorize the marshal to pay the ne
cessary expenses of sending Kilgonok
to his home, it is the opinion of this
body that funds should be appropri
ated for this purpose without having
the marshal ask for authority. It
! takes time to get an answer from
Washington and a delay may cause
great inconvenience to the person
against not a true bill has been return
| ed. Sometimes, too, a delay may
j mean greater expense to the govern
ment.
There have been many wrecks in
the waters of Prince William Sound
and adjacent thereto. We recommend
that a coast guard cutter be stationed
at Seward, Valdez, or Cordova, believ
ing that such action may result in the
saving of many lives.
It has come to the notice of the
grand jury that many thousands of
salmon trout are being^ destroyed at
i weirs established for that purpose by
the Bureau of Fisheries and the Ter
• ritorial Fish Commission. While we
realize that at certain times of the;
; year these fish are wormy and use- J
less for food purposes, yet at other
times these fish are valuable for hu-1
man consumption. We suggest that:
such trout as are fit to eat be salted,
smoked and otherwise prepared either '
for dog feed or for human consumption j

thus avoiding what seems to us to be
a wanton waste.
The United States attorney’s office
is hereby commended for the effi
cient and courteous manner in which
it has presented cases before this
grand jury.
We recommend that the territorial
legislature pass a law compelling the
payment of laborer's, either in curren
cy or in checks on Alaska banks.
We heartily condemn the proposal
of the post office department to aban
don the present system of carrying the
mails and to substitute the practice
of carrying same by freight, such pro
posed practice would occasion a great
loss of time in delay of mails and
would work a hardship upon the peo
ple of this territory.
This grand jury takes notice of the
fact that the former attorney general
of the United States and others in au
thority have condemned the people of
Alaska on account of lawlessness. We
protest that the bona fide inhabitants
that the class of seasonal workers
of Alaska are not a lawless people, but
brot here from San Francisco and Se
attle is of such character as to cause
a greater part of the crimes of vio
lence occurring in the Territory. This
is particularly true of the cannery
workers brought to the Bering Sea
and Alaskan peninsula region. We
condemn the practice which has been
followed by some of the canneries of
having men paroled from jails and re
formatories in order that they may be
taken to Alaska for the salmon sea
son. It seems unfair to this grand
jury that the people of the territory
of Alaska should get the blame for the
I lawlessness of the scum of the earth,
! Filipinos, Mexicans and polyglot crim
; inals brought here each year. We
; note that about half of the business
l of this grand jury has been to inves
: tagate crimes perpetrated by these
people. We think a rigid examination
should be made of all cannery em
ployes brought to Alaska, that dope ad
! diets, degenerates and other criminals
should be kept out. We suggest this
matter be taken up by the territorial
legislature at its next session.

URBACH SHINES
AT BASEBALL
LAST NIGHT
BANKERS SINK CABLE OFFICE:
TEAM BY OVERWHELMING
SCORE—OPENING LEAGUE
The official opening of the Seward
Indoor Baseball League was featured
last night at the S. A. C. gym. The
honor of staging the initial contest
had been drawn previously by the
team from the cable office and the
town “Bankers.” The grind, nine in
nings long, was won by the financial
representatives by the unmerciful
score of 30 to 16. Not, however, un
til after many thrills had been furn
ished by players of both sides. Dim
inutive Bernie Horton and Leon Ur
bach. enlisted by the Signal Corps to
fill the places of Tinkler and McNally,
absent, were the real stars for the
losing team. Urbach, who had en
gaged in a fifteen minute batting prac
tice before the game, slammed the
horsehide to all parts of the diamond
and easily led the sluggers of his
side. Young Horton actually played
a brilliant game in the field, at the
vital position of left- shortstop, show
ing instinctive baseball judgment at
all times and turning several difficult
chances into assists for put-outs.
Nor were the “Bankers” without
their truants. The absentees were
Capt. Hannon, Heckman, Barnett and
Lechner. “Bud” Dyer was requested
to do the hurling for ‘“Speedball” Han
non, and Bud did a real job of it, hold
ing the Signal Corps men down to
five runs in the first six innings as the
Bankers piled up a score of 14 points
in the same length of time. Tom
Dyer, Hopkins, Jessen and Yalade,
substituted for the missing members,
and went on a batting spree, led by
Shellhorn and made life miserable in
deed for “Slender” Snyder pitching
for the Cable office. In one instance
Hopkins knocked a homer with the
bases full.
The umpiring was taken care of by
Joe Badger at the plate and Leonard
Hopkins on the bases.
