MAN SUICIDES IN CABIN ON . DOUGLAS ISL. John Halonen, Ditchtender, Found Hanging from Ceiling Beam Leaving only one known relative, a mother, Mrs. Anna M. Halonen, in Finland, John Halonen, 40 years old, hanged himself, between Fri- day at 11 am. and Saturday after- noon at 3 o'clock, from a beam in the cabin on Fish Creek, Douglas Island, which he shared with Adam Orava, it was decided at an inquest held at the C. W. Carter Mortuary this morning Halonen had been a ditch tender for the Alaska Juneau, on the old Treadwell ditch for about two years, previous to which time he worked in the Alaska Juneau Mine for some time. He left a letter written in Fin- nish, which indicated that his mind was slightly disordered. The sub- stance of the letter was that his parents were troubled by Swedish Finns and that since he wanted to be a good son to his parents, he was removing himself so that they | would no longer be troubled by the Swedish Finns. There were no witnesses to the suicide, as Adam Orava, assistant ditch tender, with whom he lived, left the cabin for Juneau Friday morning at 11 o'clock. He re- mained all night in Juneau and returned to the cabin at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon when he found the body of Halonen hanging by a clothesline from a beam in the ceiling. Making a record trip from Fish Creek to Juneau, Orava re- ported the suicide to U. 8. Commis- sioner Charles Sey, at the Court House at four o'clock, an hour after he discovered the body. Commis- sioner Sey and a party went to the cabin and brought the body to Juneau to the C. W. Carter Mortu- ary later Saturday. ‘While it was impossible to place the exact time of the suicide, Dr. W. W. Council, who was called in at the inquest, said that the man had been dead for some time and that he had probably killed him- self Friday night. The body is at the C. W. Carter Mortuary and funeral arrangements will be made known later. e R SCHOOL CONCERT MAKES BIG HIT Elks’ Hall Packed Yester- day Afternoon for Last School Musicale In spite of the lovely weather vesterday, which tempted many into the country to hunt, fish or loaf, and the first baseball game of the season, in town, the Elks' Hall was packed yesterday after- noon with an enthusiastic crowd to hear the last school concert of the season. Every seat was taken and o number stood in the rear of the hall during the program. It was casily the largest crowd that has attended any of the four concerts given by the schools. Everything went off well and each individual number was ex- cellently done, by the over 75 stu- dents that were in the orchestras, glee clubs and others that took part in the program. Especial mention is merited by the students of the Seventh and Eighth Grades that put on the operetta, “The Royal Playmate.” It was in two acts and required about half an hour to stage. Costumes worn by the actors | were quaint and colorful, carrying out the -old time, fairy tale atmos- phere of the little fantasy, and the stage scenery was extremely attractive. Miss Dorothy Chisholm, who had charge of the production, and several school boys did the en- tire setting, which had a castle wall with a door in ine center, for a background. Wisteria on the wall and ferns and fir boughs completed the perfect illusion of a garden scene. Duncan Robertson, as the Prince, was exceptionally good in the oper- ctta, and Joyce Morrison did well as the Princess, as did the others who took part. The Serenade by the Girls' Glee | Club, which was accompanied by the Little Sympnony Orchestra, was enthusiastically received, though in accordance with the pol- licy adopted at the school con-| certs, no encores were given. The girls of the glep club stood on a platform above the orchestra. The members of the Junior Or-| chestra, which made its first pub- lic appearance of the year yester- day, deserve great credit for their work. The harmony was good and they all played with confidence NOTICE OF COUNCIL MEETING | Notice is hereby given that there will be a Special Meeting of the| Juneau City Council at 7:30 p. m.
