FOMCUILTf After deliberating but a short time yesterday afternoon, the Jury sitting on the case of the United States vs. Martin Knezevich, the defendant in which proceedings was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, re turned a verdict of guilty. The trial of the case occupied two days of the court’s time, owing to the fact that the defendant made an attempt to defend himself rather than pro cure the services of an attorney. The court has not yet set a time for passing sentence. The complaining witness In the case against Knezevich was Peter J. Nikoloff. It seems that Knezevich met Nikoloff on May 28 last on the Dome creek trail and accused him of living in a cabin in which he had no right. Nikoloff, in reply, told the man that he was crazy, where upon, as Nikoloff stated on the wit ness stand. Knezevich drew a gun and attempted to shoot him. Niko loff took the gun away from Kneze vich, and, according to his statement on the stand, was then bit on the head with a club La the Lands of the defendant The attempt of Kneievlch to de fend himself In court was the caust' of considerable ralrtb on the part of the large crowd of spectators in the room Harjaks Qullty.

TRACY TRIAL DRAGS ALONC t Astoclii'sd Pre««) SEATTLE, Mar. 29.- Testimony was introduced in the I. W. W. trial now going on h»re directly connect ing Thomas Tracy with the murders that occurred at Everett during the I W W rioting there last Novem ber. This iB the second time during the proceedings that Tracy has been directly implicated by witnesses. Walter Smith and William rtridges. two deputy sheriffs, members of the citizen posse that held off the Indus trial Workers, swore that they saw the first shots of the Everett battle fired, and that they came from the Verona cabin windows. They de clared positively that they recognized Tracy as the man who was doing the shooting. On cross examination, when they were confronted with a transcript of the evidence given by them at the coroner's hearing showing that they had answered "no" to a question of whether or not they would be able to recognize the man, they said that they did not remember making any such statement. 3. A, Mann, former police judge in Spokane, was called by the state, and recalled the Industrial Worker trou ble that Spokane experienced at the time he was in office, during which time the Spokane chief of police was assassinated. The purpose of this testimony was to show that the I. W. W.’s had intended to make trouble, and that this is what their reference in the Everett proclamation meant. The Everett proclamation referred to stated, in effect, that the fight for free speech in Spokane cost that city $250 000 and a chief of police, and the inference was that It would cost Everett at least as much if the right of free speech was not granted to the Industrial Workers.

"Germany has never desired to make war against the 1'nited States," said the chancellor, "nor does she desire to do so today.” Taking up the question of unit stricted warfare proclaimed by Germany, he stated, "This method of sea warfare was and is necessary for the defense of the German nuti- n and for the sue cessful prosecut.on of the war." He declared that Germany had ev ery right to make war by (his method and that her action in doing so was no more of a violation of interna tional law than the entente allies' refusal to permit food supplies to enter Germany for the benefit of non combatants. No reference was made to any intention of the German government, for a further peace pro Nowhere in the address of the chan cellor was there any indication that th . would be any modification of he unrestricted submarine warfare.

He said “If i he Amerii an nation considers this a cause declare war against the G .man nation, vith which it has lived in peace or more than a hun dred years; if this warrants an in crease in tlic bloodshed already flood Ing the world, we, the German peo ple, shall not have to bear the bur den of responsibility for it."

No report has yet been made of its labors, and it is not known wnat action has been taken with regard to the proposed amendments to tho constitution and by-laws with reference to the length of residence In the north before pros pective members can qualify R1CGS HERE UN OFfflll TRIP Thomas Riggs. Jr., member of the Alaskan Engineering commission with headquarters at Nenana, arrived here yesterday from the new railroad town. Ho comes to Fairbanks partly on business and partly pleasure bent hiB trip at this particular time hav ing been made with the idea of be ing present at the ceremonies inci dental to the dedication of the new road commission bridge and olhei Potlatch activities. Mr. Riggs’ statements regarding th< railroad work to be done differ but little from those he has made be fore. It is the intention of the com mission, he says, to build the road south from Nenana to the Nenana coal fields and also to build a stretch of road north from Nenana. The commission will not be able, he says, to follow out the plans first made, on account of the fact that the rail road appropriation failed to pass at the last session of congress, but it is hoped that the congress which is to convene in special session soon will do something immediately to ward the matter of the appropria tion. Then more definite plans can be announced. CLEARY HAS POSTOFFICE. Mrs. Agnes Skoff has been named postmistress at Cleary in place of John Wahlgren, resigned.

MOOSE 10 SEND A FINE PRESENT Again has the Territory of Alaska hern honored, this time by the I.oval Order of Moose.

The honor comes in the naming of one of the boys' dormitories at Moose heart. IlPnois, "Ala ka Hall." No state or other territory In the United States has been similarly honored. Consequently it is with pride that the members of the order in Alaska point to the distinction which has been conferred upon them. it is now up to the lodges of A] aska to fittingly decorate the new hall, and they have set about to do it. Fairbanks Lodge No. 1.192 is sending of a very handsome moose hide emblematic or Fairbanks and Interior Alaska. The hide has the figure of a heart burned on It, under which is the slogan "Fairbanks, Al aska's Golden Heart; There’s a Sol't Spot in P for You.” Within the heart is the Mo#so emblem and the number of the Fairbanks lodge. The work on the hide is that of William Betzler (Moose Pill). The hide is on exhibition in the window at St. George & Cathcart's. This is the gift from the Fairbanks Moose to Alaska Hall at Moose heart. It will be sent first to Alaska headquarters at Ketchikan, where it will be boxed for shipment to the national Moose convention at Pitts burg, with emblems of other Alaska lodges, and will then be sent to Mooseheart, there to adorn the rooms of the building which has been nam ed for Alaska, NINE PASSENGERS ARRIVE ON INCOMING STAGE A stage from Ohitina reached Fair banks yesterday afternoon.

C„ Mar. 29.— Wliile it is assumed that the Presi dent will ask congress to declare a state of war to exist between Ameri ca and Germany when It convenes Monday, It is thought that he will speak on broad lines, touching light ly on those incidents that have led up to t lie present crisis ThiH Is the opinion of officials who are In close touch with tho administration.
