NI8HT REVELS
CHASE SLEEP
FROM CITIZENS
I Indian Village on the
Island Reported to
Douglas Council
as Bad Spot.
:|HOOTCH MAKES TROUBLE
: Mayor O'Connor Promises
That Steps Will Be
Taken to Purify
the Conditions.
[ DOUGLAS. Dec. 12.?"Please go
'way and let me sleep."
If conditions in Indian town on
j the beach in DouRlas are half as ba 1
; as represented by a committee of
four residents of that part of the|
city who appeared before the city j
council last nighi, there is something!
radically wrong somewhere. The i
complaint was that a ganR of "poor|
white trash," Mexicans and half
I breeds roam around Indian town:
practically all night and every night,,
that they drink and carouse, that'
decently disposed Indian matrons and!
maids cannot step outside their'
j home3 without being insulted and ?.
i that respectable people in the neigh :,
borhood are deprived of enjoying
i the only thing that has not advancedi>
in price lately, wooing Nature's sweet .
restorer, balmy sleep. !]
| In fact, one member of the dele-!.
'gation, a woman, informed the caun-j
j cil that during her residence of:
three months on the beach she had ,
not enjoyed a single night of undis-j
turbed repose. The committee fur-j
' ther claimed that sentinels herald j
I the approach of City Marshal Shafer, j
when he visits that section and that11
j while he remains, everything there j
! is quiet and peaceful to such an ex-'
: tent as to revive recollections of.
; Gray's elegy in a country church-1
i yard.
I The coramitte further alleged that
| the Federal authorities are not doing
; their duty in not ferreting out the ?
; purveyors of that which made Ken-i_
! tucky famous, claiming that nearly
i all the misconduct complained of:
I comes from the illicit sale and con-j
; sumption of liquor; that the lawless
i element in Indian town has become i
so bold that an Indian employed at;
the Treadwell mines had returned i
to his home only a few days ago to
find that his wife had been kid
napped and several hours search was
required to locate her. When found
she was locked in a cabin belonging
to a member of the gang.
In support of their request that '
some action be taken by the coun
cil to regulate the evils existing on "
the beach, the committee presented ?'
a petition numerously signed and
calling Tor municipal protection. But
the fact that the petition was signed
by one man in particular whom the
wharf records show to have received
250 gallons of booze recently, some
what weakened the effect it would
otherwise have had, the party in
question not being licensed to sell
Intoxicants. However, Mayor O'Con
nor promised the committee that the
council will take such steps as will
tend to purify the social atmosphere
on the beach.
In support of the mayor's promise
to the committee. Councilman Stub
bins introduced an ordinance making
it a misdemeanor for any person to
be .found loitering on the streets of
Douglas after 11 o'clock at night,
the ordinance being similar to one
now in effect at Juneau. It was
read twice and will come up for fi
nal passage at the next regular meet
ing of the council. In case of Its
violation a fine of $100 or twenty-five
days in jail, or both at the discre
tion of the city magistrate, Is pro
vided for.
Bills amounting to $195.55 were
ordered paid. 4
