Alexander at the comple- | tion of its deliberations, signed by G. E. Paup and W. W. S8anderson: We, the Grand Jury, impaneled | for the Territory of Alaska, Division Number One, held at Ketchikan, Al- a‘ka. and composed of six women and thirteen men, beg to submit the following renort: We have been in session eight days. have considered 13 cases and returned 12 true bills, 1 not true bill; we have examined 43 witnesses. We make the following recom- mendations: We recommend that the local liquor laws be more strictly enforced | with particular reference to the sale of intoxicating liquors to minors. That the diligence of the local police officers be maintained in cleaning the streets and public | places of intoxicated persons, and that the local curfew law be more | strictly enforced. Law Enforcement ‘We suggest our recommendations | on law enforcement be given serious | consideration by other communities in this division. We recommend more intensive | policing of rooming houses; also, | certain places of business culermg{ to minors, by enforcement officers. | We call attention to the crowded | icondition of the Federal Building, | and the need of further space to take care of present and future |needs of Federal offices, hence, we recommegd that an addition be built to same. We recommend that the Federal | | Jail quarters for both men and wom- {en be enlarged. Our investigation | has shown présent quarters for both \men and women to be entirely in- adequate and in particular, the women'’s quarters which were suit- | able for three or four prisoners only, | vet contained nine inmates at the time of investigation: Similar rceommendations have| |been made by the previous Grand | |Jury with no improvements in the | | existing situation made to date. We | ’urgemly recommend this be given immediate attention by the proper | Jauthorities and this deplorable con- | dition be eliminated at the earliest "pnsslble date. | The Grand Jury recommends that ! |the Delegate from Alaska be re- | quested to have the Federal Juvenile | Act amended to include Alaska. | Delinquent Investigation That the homes, and home envir- |onment of all juvenile delinquents be thoroughly investigated and the | parents of such delinquents be prose- |cuted if the investigation indicates that the delinquency is caused by neglect on the part of the parents. | That funds be made available by the next Territorial Legislature for the care and custody of the Terri- { torial delinquents and incorrigibles Copies of the report were to be |sent to the Attorney General of the | United States, Delegate Dimond at Washington, D. C, the Territorial Board of Health, Juneau, the Ter- ritorial Liquor Board, Juneau, and | Mayor W. K. Spaulding and the City Council of Ketchikan. \FUND TOTAL OF .

Kiéking, running, passirz, spinning their way in anl arcund the U. W. varsity during the entire sixty, minutes of play, they took Washington's measure, with the superlative assistance of their line, to the tune of 13 to 7. The Huskies, standing with a goose egg at the opening of the second half, managed to push over a score and it looked, for a while, that the late Washington-W. S. C. game would be repeated. The fine play of the Indians several times turned back threats of the fighting Purple and Gold.

" was attributed to the generous donations made by Juneau and Douglas women and the fine co- operation 0f various . stores. The money will be sent to Chilkoot Barracks for the use of local men there. Besides the many donations of goodies made by Douglas women, cash gifts offered in lieu of food amounted to $14.75. This, plus the money taken in by the sale, and many donations of cash in Ju- neau, helped to swell the total. Many items which could have proved expensive to the group were donated for the sale. Sacks and cartons for the food were donated by the 20th Century Market, Ju- neau . Drug, Irvings, George Bro- thers, Piggly-Wiggly, Sanitary Meat and the West Coast Grocery. Use of the building, which was former- ly occupied by the Sears, Roebuck Company, was given by Charles Goldstein. Other matters taken up by the committee yesterday afternoon were plans for further activities, the proceeds of which will be added to the present total raised by the group. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Ehlers have offered to donate their services for| a concert in line with the AWVS work, and their offer was unani-| mously accepted by the committe-.’ The concert has been scheduled for Tuesday, November 18, and it will take place in the Presbyterian| Church. All proceeds from the con- cert will go into the fund. The group also discussed tenta- tive plans for the entertainment of the soldiers when they come -to Juneau for short visits from the Post, but no definite arrangements pertaining to the food sale con-|nayve peen made for the present. | —————— Motor venicle deaths in 1940 in-| creased seven percent over 1939, ———,—— Subscribe to the Daily Alaska Empire—the paper with the largest waid circulation. , ——————— Empire Classifieds Payl BOXING BO'S N 5 | Freddie (Red) Cochrane, world’s welterweight champion, became a Navy fighting man in New York.

De- clines are from the preceding eight months' average. Operating profit last month Was estimated at $43,200, compared with $98,100 in August and $113,500 in September, 1940. 5 Production last month totaled 205,250 tons, compared to the preceding eight month average of about 380,000 tons. Decline in pro- duction is attributed by officials’ tu the fact that about a third of the company’s mine crew has left to 1ccept higher pay offered by de- fense projects now under con- struction elsewhere in Alaska. Ore values in September aver- 1ged 85 cents per ton as against 93 cents in August. Average r ery for the first eight months of 1941 was about 96 cents a ton. Opéra- Jdon costs were up sharply, averag- ng 72 cents a ton of ore treated, 1s compared with 67 cents in Aug- ist and an eight-month average >f about, 69 .cents.
