HI STEVENS Manager If
To the Honorable Robert W. Jen

• 'ourt
We ,the Grand .Jury summoned to
attend this special May term, 1915,
of the United States District Court
for the District of' Alaska, Division
No.l, having completed our labors
for said term and concluded the bus
iness brought before us, now beg
leave to report to the honorable Court
as follows:
We have boen in session nine days
and have acted on 11 hind-over cases
and conducted several other investi
gations and have found 36 true bills,
and two not true hills. We have
summoned 122 witnesses and employ
ed one interpreter.
We find the Federal jail in a clean
ind sanitary condition.
We recommend that the Court
House be painted, inside and out, at
oneo, as it is in need of paint.
Wc recommend a brick or concrete
chimney for the furnace of ttie court
house to he installed during the sum
mer months as it is in a dangerous
condition, and ttiat this be attended
in at once.
Wc recommend that a new floor
also he laid in the kitchen of fir
'amber. i
We recommend that the sidewalk
in front of the court house be lower
ed to the grade of the city street
and that the steps of the court house
be made to conform to this change.
We recommend that the vault con
taining the records of the court he
properly repaired so as to prevent
tie moisture accumulating which is
'•tumrinp the records and causing
e to mildew.
W ■ " am mend that the wire

•etc for the recent passage of
i ace, No. 110, amending an
inlinenep No. 33, entitled “An Or
liance to Define Certain Misdemean
ors and Provide Punishment for
heir NViation,” and we recommend
the at enforcement of this
din 1 elioving that if the same
all ■ efficiently enforced it will
tend largely to purify the moral at
mosphere of the city.
We also recommend the strict, cn
forccmeat of the laws against the
illegal sale of intoxicating liquors in
unlicensed houses and districts. We
commend the District Attorney’s of
fice and the Marshal’s Office for
their activity during the present

term of the court in the enforcement
of these laws, anil we most earnestly
recommend that these laws must and
shall bo enforced in the future. We
earnestly recommend that the Fcd
il officers and the City officers co
operate in tho enforcement of these
laws.
We. tho grand jury, do condemn
the negligence of the officials of the
town of Ketchikan and more So the
I nlice force of said town for the
existing condition's of drunkenness
and lewdness occurring nightly on
the streets of said town, more espec
ially on what is known as Mission
• "cct; these acts occurring nightly
i tween native girls and white men
■ a disgi.iee to «ny civilized com
unity.
We recommend thnt the game
"vib.n and the Marshal’s office he
:'i;ront in enforcing the laws against
' 'gal_fishing by aliens and that for'
tliis purpose they infirm the legal
• cchorities of all persons discovered
■ iolnting the laws.
We believe that it would be a great
I ae'it to the country to exclude nn
suable aliens and wc heartily co
oiiornte with the Immigration Office
in its efforts to the deportation of
s:eh undesirable aliens, and wc
t’ mostly recommend that the Immi
gration Ofice will take steps to ile
! rt. all such persons ns nmv be sub
i :t to deportation. We believe that
t1 -wo are a large number who upon
proper investigation would be shown
to be liable to deportation. We, the
members of the grand jury, are sat
isfied that there has been laxity in
too enforcement of Alaska’s alien
fi lling law. So we thereforo reeom
t "ml that, in addition to the agents
01 the Bureau of Fisheries of the
l aited Stc.tes, tho employes of the
Marshal V office of this Division of
Alaska, including the game wardens,
' • espeoiallv instructed to enforce all
I vs of Alaska that prohibit the tak
of fish for coirm.ccial pm-po-tr
f on the waters of Alaska by all
p rsens other than citizens, those who
have declared their intentions to be
come citizens, and natives of Alas
tlH.
■Vr take pleasure in commcndm
1 Ige Robert W. Jennings for his
f -r and impartial administration oi
the law anil for his courtesies to 11s
during the term. Wo also take pleas
ure in thanking the District Attorney,
Mr. James A. Smi3cr, and his efficient
1 -'-dstants, Mr. D. Noll and Mr. John
J. Reagan, for their assistance to us
in the prosecution of violations of
law and for their advice and counsel
in all matters that have come be
fore the grand jury. We especially
commend this office for the active
warfare which it has inaugurated a
gainst the illegal sale of intoxicating
liquors and especially in tho restrict
ed districts of tho town. We believe
that the continued activity along the
lines as marked out will tend greatly
to the moral uplift of the community
and we will support heartily the ef
forts of those in charge of these mat
ters in all attempts to carry out tho
laws. We also desire to state that

SHOW IS A GOOD ONE
Ketchikan theater goers were
thoroughly satisfied with the show
put on at the Grand last night by
the Ilurd-Hibbard Theatrical com
pany. The show was excellent in
every respect, the members of the
company all being artists in their
own particular lines. They will make
several changes tonight, substituting
a rousing burlesque in place of
last night’s sketch, and adding a
threo reel production, showing the
Gunmen of New York. This film
shows the resorts of Gyp the Blood
; and his famous pals, their trial and
that of Lieut. Becker in the famous
Rosenthal murder case, giving a
complete history of the gangsters of
the great city. This is the first time
this picture has ever been shown on J
the Pacific coast. The children’s
admission price has been reduced
from 50 cents to 25, and the show
strengthened so that it. will last the
entire evening, starting at 8:15, thus
giving but one performance each
night, with a complete change for
Friday and Saturday.
