Attorney General lesuea Order to
Ruetgard—Saloons Are Notified
of New System.
JUNEAU, April 16.—District Attor
ney John. Rustgafrd today received
peremptory instructions from Attor
ney General McReynolds to enforce
the Sunday closing law and keep all
bars and saloons closed from mid
night on Saturday until midnight on
Sunday night.
_U. S. Marshal Faulkner this morn
ing issued orders to all the saloon
owners in Juneau and Douglas to
close their places of business over
Sundays. He has also wired to all
deputy marshals in the First Divi
sion to instruct saloon keepers of
the new order.
The liquor dealers had hoped that
the order to close would not reach
this city but when the attorney gen
eral was notified of the fact that the
law was being violated orders were
immediately sent to Rustgard to car
ry out the law at once.

The barge America, loaded with 2,~
600 tons of machinery and mine sup
plies for the Granby Consolidated,
Mining, .Smelting and Power company
which was expected in Valdez several
days ago, has failed to appear and
shipping men are fearful that the tug
Tatoosh has had trouble in the recent
sorm and has been blown ashore,
j Captain Warner passed the tow at
six o’clock Saturday night off Cape
St. Elias and it was expected the
barge would reach Valdez on Sunday
or rnonday but the storm may have
forced the boat far out to sea or else
the tug may have sought shelter at
Hinchinbrook.
MANY ARE IDLE
DAWSON, Y. T., April 16.—'This
city is overrun with idle men who
cannot secure work and who* have
become a menace to the city. Hun
dreds of men have come here in the
paBt few months, believing they could
secure work and having exhausted
their small savings are now desti
tute and unless some action is taken
by the Dominion authorities .it is
feared a reign of anarchy is sure
to follow, as they are hungry and
desperate.
The city authorities are unable to
care for the men and an appeal has
been made to Ottowa for assistance.
It is proposed that free transporta
tion ,be given ,« .large number of
those who will go outside, while bow
erirotent work be provided for oth
ers until the mining season opens,
when the situation will be relieved by
the operation of the big mining com
panies.

1 OLYMPIC GAMES
American Team Need* Money—Ex
pected to Walk Away With the
B4p Prize* a* Usual.
(United Press Serjjce.)
NEW YORK, April 16.—With plans
for the collection by subscription of
1100,000 to send an American ath
letic team to the 1915 Olympics at
Berlin fcrell under way, old Uncle
Sam bids fair to walk off with an
other international field and track
victory, despite frantic efforts of En
gland, Prance, Germany and Sweden
to head us off.
It will be remembered that imme
diately after the last Olympics at
Stockholm, England, with great hue
and cry, set about to raise ’steen
thousand dollars to spend on man
ufacturing a team that would give the
British Hon a chance to roar. Those
bally Britishers were going to start
whang off the bat and develop a
bunch of athletes who were to gar
ner all the 1915 Olympic medals,
honors, records and ribbons in sight.
But already, according to reports
from the land that has just been
startled from tea-drinking habits by
an exhibition of Yankee baseball
which also shook the crown from and
a derby hat onto King George’s royal
pate, the Englanders have begun to
stall.
The wild enthusiasm which amateur
field and track lovers of England and j
the cplonies stirred up for the first
few months following the Stockholm
games has since simmered down un
til id’s as lukewarm as a ;pot of
tea would get by the time the sev
en hundredth innings of a cricket
game rolled by. . When it came time
to collect passable coin of the realm
and actually spend it on hiring ath
letic trainers who had the ability to;
develop the athletes, there was lit
tle doing And it was likewise when !
the suggestion was made that England
go out into her byways to get ma- i
terial. Never would it do. they ar
gued, to have a member of the com
mon classes members of an athlet
ic team that represented England.
In England, you nkow. Old Top
j>o, if an man isn’t a “gentleman"
he can hardly be classed as an ama
teur at least it’s nearly that bad.
And so England appears to be hack
in the same old rut.
In France it has been slightly dif
ferent. Those tempermental French
men started right off the bat to do
the same real work, and if France
doesn’t show up a whole lot better
in 1915 if will be strange. The re ,
ports of America's Stockholm vic
tory wasn’t cold on the wires until
the Frenchmen, backed by the gov j
drnment. had gathered in a great .
bunch of shekels—or francs—and they
started in to spend the money in
tht; right way. They established a
government "College of Athletes” at
Rheims, and they hired some real
athletic trainers—from America. The
French government appropriated
about 150,000 to the “College Ath
letes.” They went even further. Any
man, officer or enlisted man. In the
army, who shows promise of devel
oping into an athlete is “ordered” to
take up his studies at Rheims. The
work is going on there now in stern
earnestness, and if not in 1915, then
at the next . Olympics, iFranre is
bound to be beard from.
Work very much similar to that be
ing done' In France, is today going on
in Germany and Sweden. The Ger
man government is showing every
encouragement, both financial and
.moral, to those who are developing
athletes for the Berlin games, and in
Sweden they are using that stadium
they built for the Inst Olympics ns
a, practice ground for developing the
Swedish teams
Rut they have started too late
for the 1915 games. The 1'nited
States has too much of a lead. Wit
ness the recent amateur indoor chant -
plonships held at MadiBon Square
Garden, where three records were
smashed, and several more were
equalled. And be it remembered that
some dozen or more "record” men
frhOr.e homes tire in the West add
Middle West, were not among those
present, end who can be counted on
(or points in 1915. V • ■
Even at that, however, it will nev
er do to sit backhand count the
chicks Just yet. That $100,000 isn’t
all subscribed, and $100,000 Is a lot
Of money. Of course there are a
lot of m las ternary societ ies who claim,
they need contributions, but there
are also « lot of places where money
might be worse spent.
