A. Doelker for violation of the Harrison Narcotics Act and the Territorial Narcotics Law. Thes2 pleas attack the legal- ity of the present grand jury, and the validity of the indictments, alleging it was not drawn in ac- cord with the Alaska Jury Act of 1931. United States Attorney H. D. Stabler this morning filed an an- swer to the pleas, denying every “material allegation” in them. George B. Grigsby, counsel for Breed, speaking for defense at- torneys in all the cases, demurred to the answer, arguing it did not controvert the facts set forth in the ple: He moved to strike the entire answer.

It has performed many cervices far without the ordinary province of a Fire Department, such as the rescue and relief of per- sons outside of the town's .cor- porate limits. “Its effioiency ‘record is all ‘that is required to prove its worth to the city,” he added. “It's ability to get to the scene of fires has, on occasion, when the waler sup- ply was low, prevented serious conflagrations. No Serious Loss “Juneau is the one town on the Pacific Coast, similarly located, that can ‘truthfully say it has never had a conflagration. Not more than one building has ever been burned in any single fire,” Mr. Shattuck declared. He com- plimented the Department highly cn its splendid record. He also pointed out that the low fire insurance wrates prevailing here are direcily due to that rec- ord. Credit is due to the Fire- men alone. Mr. Shattuck, also, commented on Fire Prevention Week, now be- ing observed nationally, as a means of reducing the country’s annual fire loss which averages $500,000,- - 000. Chief Gray Responds The Firemen are always willing and anxious to co-operate with the Chamber of Commerce, Chief Gray said in response. This week, he said, accompamied by Asst. Chief ©O. E. Schombel, he visited the Public, Parochial and (Indian schools, talking on fire preven- tion, conducted fire drills and ex- O'I'D.

Warns Against Dumping Mr. Gray warned business hous- es against dumping of rubbish be- neath the buildings on the harbor front. Due Yo rock fills that have been made along the waterfront, the tide no longer carries debris out to deep water and it is left piled up on the beach % become a fire hazard that in time might lead to a disasterous conflagration. Some merchants are dumping re- fuse now, he said, and urged them to discontinue this practice. The Chief gave the Chamber much detailed information about | the Department, its equipment, the use it made of its revenues, the cost of maintenance to the city, and other subjects.
