FORMER DAWSONITE
DIES IN CAPITAL CITY
Thomas Chenard, for a number of
years a resident of Dawson, passed
away at Juneau on March 27, as the
result of a stroke of paralysis. The
following appeared in The Stroller’s
Weekly:
“Thomas Chenard, aged 48 years,
died at St. Ann’s hospital last night
at 7:15, not having regaining con
sciousness after having a stroke of
paralysis while at his work as in
cine hoist man at the Alaska Ju
neau mine at 9:30 o’clock yesterday
afternoon. He leaves two sons, one
of whom is married, both residents
of Juneau.
“Mrs. Thomas Chenard preceded
her husband to the Great Beyond by
just six -weeks, and shortly before
her end came her husband told her
he would follow soon. Mrs. Chen
ard had been in the hospital six
months before death relieved her
suffering and during that period the
love and attention bestowed on her
by her husband is said by those in
r?
position to know was beautiful to
behold, the devotion being so won
derful as to be marked by all who
beheld it.
“The Chenards were residents of
Juneau a quarter of a century ago
and when a very young couple. Their
sons were born here. Later they
spent some years in Dawson, return
ing here about ten years ago.”
LONDON JUDGE GIVES
WOMEN FIRST PUCE
THING “WHITE UES”
LONDON, May 15.—(JP)—Recent
assertion by a police court magis
trate that women are more inclined
than men to tell “white lies” has
caused a stir in London among the
numerous women’s organizations,
which have come boldly to the front
in strenuous denial of the charges.
Women are more loyal than men
and their tendency to indulge in de
ceit to shelter a friend is often mis
understood or misconstrued, is one
of the claims set forth by the club
members.
H. T. Waddy, magistrate in the
Thames Police Court, in a recent
book, “The Police Court and Its
Works,” who comes out broadly con
tending that women are more prone
to untruths than males, has been at
tacked on all sides but has refused
to modify any of his charges.
“As a class,” says the magistrate
who hears scores of women weekly
testifying in court, “I find that wo
men are more malicious, more un
truthful and much more clever than
men.”
Justice Roche, two years ago, pub
licly, expressed a similar view. He
declared that generally “women do,
if not intentionally, tell untruths, or,
at least, give way to freaks of im
agination.”
A government inspector of elemen
tary schools also has stated in court
that girl students are often much
more apt to make misstatements than
boys. “A boy usually hesitates, 'stam
mers and gives himself away,” he
said, “but a girl can lie with all the
apparent sincerity of truthfulness.”
This trait of the child, he added, is
often still more marked in the adult.
Notice has been given by severa1
women's societies that special meet
ings of their respective organiza
tions are to be held soon to refute
the charges as set forth by Mr. Wad
dy in nis police court experiences.
The club members make the point
that the magistrate has been misled
in his dealings with a type of wo
men who frequent the police courts
and that his conclusions are altogeth
er wrong so far as women are con
cerned *em rally.
