Nearly 250 persons crowded about the big horseshoe-shaped table !or the dart games, and lodge members were busy calling the numbers and giving away the Thanksgiving birds whenever the cry of “turkey” was heard. A buffet luncheon was served to the guests, and play went on until | the last fowl was “bagged.” The evening was an even greater success than was anticipated, ac- cording to -Martin Jorgensen, Chair- | man of the affair, and the Thanks- giving baskets for the needy will be bigger and fuller than ever. Seventy-five awards were made last evening, and the winners were given credit slips good at any local dealer’s for their turkeys.

Lundstrom told of how, he said, | George Kodzoff, one of the defend- | ants, took a club away from him near. the union hall on the Lower Fron:| Street during the alleged riot. He 'said anothér man, whom he did nof know, assisted Kodzoff. The witness‘ said" he finally was able to recover | !the club from the men, which he| ‘oxplained he had been carrying in his hand. Asked' on cros. examination if he had used nis ciub, the witness said | he had'not but would have done so | if he thought it was necessary. He did not use it on Kodzoff, he de- clared, because Kodzoff grabbed it from him before he could act. The | witness described the club as about |16 inéhes ‘In length and about an| inch in diameter. He said it had been \ issued to him by Chief of Police Roy | Hoffman when he had beén commis- | sioned 'a special officer.

Matkoveky Star Witness | Anatole Matkovsky, widely known | Juneau resident and employee of the Alaska Juneau mine for some 10 years, madé a star witness for the government late yesterday afternoon. Unruffled, and in a clear, calm voice, Matkovsky answered the questions put to him on both direct and cross examination. He related how he had seen the defendants Warren Beavert, Bill ‘Taroff, George Kodzoff and Simon Graner at the A. B. Hall prior to the march to the ‘A. J. office and stated they were shouting and cre- ating a disturbance. He named the latter three as men he had seen in hall. Graner, he testified, struck at {V.)V. Solovieff, another well known mine employee. He recounted how saw Harry Datoff, another defend- ant, for & fleeting moment. Dién’t Consider It Real Strike The witness stuck closely’ to his testimony and efforts to shake him on cross examination wére futile. He stated he had known the men he referred to for years and was not mistaken in his identification; Mat - kovsky explained that he had been a member of the Alaska Mine Work- ers Uniotr but had left that organi- zation immediately before the mine shtitdown. He said he did not go out on strike with the union as he did not consider it a strike in accord- ance with the constitution of the urdon as he understood it.

Coroner T. B. W, Leland is making an in- vestigation. The theory is now advanced that two poisons were mixed, possibly ac- cidentally, with the soda which has been sold at cut rates to a large number of consumers.

BOOK WEEK Ann Cole—m_;l, Libarian, Stresses Need of Library in Adult Education (Continuec wom Page One) It was in this building that the bathroom became, for certain hours edth afternoon, a children's reading room. Seven of the fiffeen members of the club were placed on the library committee. The town was canvassed for subscriptions to the library fand and in the fall a home talent ph} 4“County Fair,” was given as a bene- fit. The reading room was formally cpened on August 13. Response was enthusiastic. The Ju- neau schools turned over book funds to the sum of $200, to bé used in purchase of reference books. Mrs. Dell Z. McClelland, long connected with the Seattle Public Library, was for book privileges. Near the end of December, 72 books arrived from Se- attle. A complete set of Shakespeare's works, in 40 volumes, and ten vol- umes of the works of Kipling, were dcnated by the Juneau Shakespeare Club. By the middle of March, 1915, more than 1,300 Books were on the shelves and borrowers’ cards had been issued to 567 persous. Finances Were Pr-tlem Financées were the problem of the club. The librarian’s salary and rent of the building required $125 each month, besides the. money expended for new books. People were asked to subscribe fifty cents a month. Num- erous benefits were given. Coal for heating the building was donated by the city and hauled free of charge, by the Juneau Transfer. The Alaska Transfer helped by taking away the ashes. Five dollars a month was al- lowed on the light bill by the Alaska | Electric Light and Power Company by Mr. Webster of the Telephone Company. Members of the Draper Club at this time were: Mrs. J. P. Mahone, Mrs. H. J. Fisher, Mrs. Charles Gold- stein, Mrs. A. P. Kashevaroff, Mrs. W. E. Nowell, Mrs. E. W. Pettit and Mrs H. C. Daniels. In 1915, the Draper Club found it- self incapable of assuming further Juneau' citizens was called and a li- brary association founded. Officers | W. E. Nowell, president; B. D. Stew- art, vice-president; Mrs. R. E. Rob- ertson, secretary-treasurer; J. C. Mc- Bride, Mrs. P. J. Mahone, L. D. Henderson, Mrs. A. P. Kashevaroff, Judge Robert W. Jennings, Mrs. H. C. DeVighne and Z. R. Cheney, trus- | tees. There were also 32 charter members. The Juneau Library Association was incorporated under the laws of the Territory. W. H. Thompson, manager of the Dream Theatre, donated box office raceipts for one night. A number of fraternal organizations, commercial clubs, and many individuals follow- ed suit. But, in October, the Asso- ciation announced, following the res- ignatfon of ‘the liorarian, that unless considerable sums were raised the library would be abandoned. '’ Council Comes To Rescue Early in 1916 the Library Associa~ tion elected new offceirs. Mrs. H. H. Post became president, R. E. Rob- ertson, vice-president; Mis. H. H. Townsend, secretary-treasurer; Z. R. Cheney, Judge Robert Jennings, Mrs. J. T. Walsh and L. D. Henderson, trustees. Holdover trustees were Mrs. A. P. Kashevaroff, Mrs. H. C, DeVighne, and John C. McBride. In July of that year a committee of the association called upon Mayor Stew- art and asked for an allowance from the city to aid in the library’s sup- port. A short time later the council voted to allow the library $1,800 a year for expenses; and, on Aygust 1, the City of Juneau, through its council, accepted full responsibility of the library. By the first of January, 1917, there were nearly 2,500 books on the li- brary shelves and the ‘circulation for the preceding year was reported as 70,000. First Board Appointed Members of the first Governing Board, consisting of ten women who maintaining it, were as follows: Mrs. B. M. Behrends, Mrs. H. C. DeVighne, Mrs. A P. Kashevaroff, Mrs. J. T. Walsh, Mrs. H. H, Townsend, Mrs, Guy McNaughton, Mrs. H. J. Fisher, Mrs. F. A, Metcalf, Mrs, H. R, Shep- ard, Mrs. J. R. Willis.
