THREE DETAINED g i ne BOYS AND GIRLS THRONG TO SEE SANTA GLAUS Hundred Gfiesents from Northland’s Christ- mas Tree Aboard the motorship Northland yesterday afternoon, little boys and little girls of Juneau enjoyed a merry time with Santa Claus. De- spite a spanking breeze that was thick with snow and that lashed head-on against the Femmer dock, berthing place of the craft, be- tween five and six hundred child- ren trooped across the gangplank in the course of a three-hour per- iod. In the forward salon, beside towering Christmas tree, that glowed with multi-colored 1d glittered with tinsled decora- robust and jolly, with snow- hite hair and long snow-white , and attired in red cap and and shining black boots. All children, some speechless with der and = amazement, were anded gift-bags containing candy, || nuts, an apple and an orange. Every Walk of Life The little ones came from every ' walk in life. Many richly clothed, || accmopanied by mothers wrapped in | furs, emerged from scores of auto- mobiles that taxed the parking fa- cilities of the long pier. Some of the numerous others, afoot, clutch- S ed the skirts of parents and lean- |ed small bodies, not too comfort- ly clad, against the blast, yet r felt its chill, so warmed were they by happy anticipation. Races and creeds mingled with- out distinction. The hands that {| reached for presents were whme,v and black, and close| together. All were made kin by Santa Claus. All were alike to him, Homeless Are Thrilled A group that felt the thrill of s special attention was comprised of ten white and Indian boys and Is, homeless, who are under the care of Minnie Field, cook at the federal jail. He sent an automo- bile with David B. Femmer to get them when she telephoned the wharf office that there was no one at the jail to take them to the ship. The Northland's officers “rode herd,” as it were, aboard the ves- sel to keep the MNttle ones from straying into remote parts of the craft. There were members of the crew that stood at ship's side to watch for overboard mishaps. Chief of Police George C. Getchell di- rected traffic across the gangplank. He carried scores of the children, and helped all of them against the blustering storm. Caps and Mittens Lost Many caps and mittens were lost. Such articles that were found aboard the vessel after the last of the boys and girls had gone ashore or that were picked up lights | ons stood Santa Claus himself, | |from the wharf during the after- noon were sent to J. B. Burford and Company, passenger agency of the Northland in the Valentine Building, where they may be ob- tained by the owners. { 'When the ship had cast off her lines, her master, Capt. Leonard | Williams, informed Benjamin }Joyoe, big, good-natured pilot, that he would be relieved of routine duty in order to get Santa Claus early to bed so he would not be tired for the Christmas tree cele- bration at Petersburg today. TENNIS IS POPULAR SPORT AT HARVARD BOSTON, Mass,, Dec. 19.—Foot- ball, track, boxing and otaer sports may have their attractions for | most young men, but tennis is the most popular with Harvard fresh- men. When 900-odd first-year men were asked to name their favorite isport they voted for tennis, crew and football, in that order. —_—————— Quartz and placer location no- tices at The Empire.
