CARLSON IS
REFUSED
MAY BE PROSECUTED FOR NOT
HAVNG MADE THE
ARREST
Since Edward Krause, the suppos
ed kidnapper of William Christie of
Douglas, has been arrested in Seat
tle, on information furnished by
Erick Carlon, manager of the North
ern Hotel lodging department in the
city, many have put in a claim for
the reward offered for the capture
of Krause, among whom is Mr.
Carlson himself. In answer to the
demand for the reward, Mr. Carl
son received the following:
Juneau, Alaska,
November 19, 1915.
Mr. Erick Carlson,
Ketchikan, Alaska,
Dear Sir—:
I am in receipt of your letter of
the 16th inst. claiming reward of
$500.00 for information leading to
arrest of Krause and enclosing af
fidavit of yourself and Philip Mc
Quillan in connection therewith.
In reply I beg to advise that the
reward was for the arrest of one
- Miller who took William
Christie from Treadwell on a pur
ported subpoena for attendance on
the District Court at Juneau, and
was not for “Information leading
to the arrect.” You had knowledge
of Krause’s presence in Ketchikan
and had you arrested him and he
proved to be Miller (which there is
very little doubt he is) you would
have been entitled to and would
promptly have received the reward
of $500.00 but you waited until he
departed from Ketchikan and then,
as you claim, reported the facts
although your affidavit shows that
you conversed with Krause over
the Christie matter and you must
have known that he was at least
wanted by the authoriies of the
Federal Government.
There is a serious question wheth
er you are not yourself liable to
prosecution for not devulging your
information promptly on learning
same.
Very respectfully,
H. A. BISHOP
U. S. Marshal.
GERMANY MADE
PROPOSALS
LETTERS TAKEN FROM GER
MANS SHOW WEAKENING
OF THE TROOPS
PARIS, Nov. 10—Letters written
by German soldiers during the bat
tle of Champagne, found on prison
ers and dead, throw some light on
the spirit of the troops.
“The battle-front has disappear
edin a cloud of smoke,” wrote one.
"Nothing can be seen, for the
French artillery fires almost as rap
idly as the infantry. One armored
shelter was crushed in and not one
of the sixteen occupants escaped.
Men are falling like flies and the
trenches are nothing but debris.”
“Shells are simply raining upon
us,” another wrote. “If the end
were oniy near! This is the cry
every one should raise: “Peace!
peace.”
“Cjuel hours!” a captain noted
in his diary. “It is as if the earth
were crumbling up. Our losses are
very heavy. One company of 250
men had sixty killed last night and
a battery close by lost sixteen dead.
A shelter five yards deep, protected
by two rows of logs and two and a
half yards of earth, was caved in as
if it were only a match; that’s
«[■ timen of the force of the French
shells.’
Many Men Are Useless
“Many of our men are useless,”
wrote the captain of the Twenty
fourth infatry in a report intended
for his superior officer. “We mus*
have reinforcements at once. Our
men are dying of fatigue, privation
and loss of sleep.”
“Nothing to eat; heavy losses,”
noted another. "The French have
not ceased firing since the mominc
of the 21st; it has gone on sixty
hours; how long will it last? Every
spot of our position is so bombard
ed that it is next to-impossible for
human beings to hold out any long
er.”
“Six of our men were killed by
shells yesterday morning,” wrote a
captain. “Our trench has been near
ly leveled. The Eleventh battalion
has suffered heavily.”
How the reinforcements W'ere
rushed up is revealed by another
officer. “We were crowded into
autos,” he wrote, “and rushed*madly
from Vouziers to Tahure. After
two hours rest in the rain and six
hours march to our position under
constant shell fire, we reached the
trench, losing fifty-six out of 280
men of the Second company by the
way. We were 118 hours without
food in a trench not two feet deep,
Hell couldn’t be worse. Six hundred
more men just arrived; they will re
place the killed and wounded of the

SCHOOL PLAY WAS
ABOVE AVERAGE
H HHST OF ENTERTAINMENT
IN EACH"ACT OF THE
PROGlt \M
Wednesday evening before the larg
est audience ever assembled in Rcc
Men’s Hall, the “Entertainment
Shop” was presented by some of Kct
■hikan’s bright children, and provec
he most successful entertainjnen
ver given in this city. The self
ommand of the performers and the
eally artistic rendering cf the num
ers was a charming surprise and
■efleets great credit upon both the
hildren and their teachers.
After several beautiful slections
by the Emanon Orchestra, Miss
Martha Foosnoss took her place a'
he piano and sustained the lnusica1
'eatures with rare understanding
ind ability throughout the progren.
which commenced at 8:30 with the
rise of the curtain on the scene of
the Entertainment Shop. Everett
Pnup, as Punchinello, filled the role
very well and certainly was “It,”
though at times he realized that to
please the public is no sinecure.
The first number by eight of Pun
chinello’s Imps was one of the best
things on the program. The pret
tiest thing of the evening was the
fairy drill by ten little maids all in
white and glistening tinsel, dancing
fairy like out of the big black bora,
and following with admirable jes
iures the story read by Miss Mary
Mitchell behind the scenes. Edgar
Anderson, the Magician and George
Beck, the colored boy were both ex
ceptionally good in their parts. Nora
Ross was- a bright star in the Enter
tainment Shop constellation and her
monologue was extremely well giv
en. T.uella Wakefield* and Charlotte
Shock in their graceful dancing
made a charming victure of colonial
times. George Rounsefell as Punch
had much to say and said it with a
punch.
The “hit” of the evening was
Luella Amundsons Irish Washer
woman Pantomime. The audience
had enthusiastically applauded every
number, but in this instance an
encore was necessary to still thg tu
mult of applause. Louise Hanson
was splendid as the “old maid” and
very beguiling, much to the dis
comfiture of Punchinello. Alice Kin
aid in the “Sleep Walking Scene”
i was exceedingly fine and was ably
assisted by Dorothy Michener and
Joe Baker. Gretchen Shock and
Donald Brindle in, “The Quarrel”,
were just dears. Mary Aiken, Jesta
Williams and Gladys Henrlckson
made a pretty “Goodnight” tableau.

Taken all in all, the “Entertain

from an artistic and financial stand
point, having brought $132 to the
school treasury.
The teachers must feel amply re
paid for their trouble in the many
compliments received for their ef
forts.
MASK BALL A HUGE SUCCESS
The Eagles Thanksgiving Masque
Ball has long ago established itself
and the leading ajinual event of its
character in Ketchikan, and each
year finds it a little more brilliant
and more largely attended than the
preceding one. The one given in
the Rink last night was no excep
tion to the rule. It easily eclipsed
all former affairs of the kind in
beauty and variety of costumes,
attendance, music and fun. The
prize winners were as follows:
First Ladies’ prize, Mrs. Jas. E.
Smith, as Miss Columbia; Bryan*
De Bar, first gentlemen's prize, as
a Prince; Mrs. E. Slotten ladies’
prize for most original costume;
Bert Berthelsen Jhc* same for gent
lemen; Lawrence Erickson and
Henry Wall, as Maude, the mule,
took the prize for the most comical
character, with Carl Collen and Tack
Hendricks, as the Emanon Orches
tra, a close second. Worthy of
special notice were Steve Selig and
Thos Davies as deep sea divers and
Mrs. Slater as' the Progressive-Min
er, and many others too numerous
to mention.
