I Special to Daily Alaskan ]
Washington, Feb. 8 ? Falcon Jos
lln. the Alaska railroad builder and
boomer for the north. Is again >11
Washlngtou lobbying for Alaska
railroad l?*glslatlon. He appeared
before the House committor on Ter
ritories yesterday and asked for a
square deal for Alaska. He wants
the Alaska coal cases taken out of
the hands of the prejudicial trib
unal of the land department and
giTen over to the district courts of
Alaska for settlement He argues
that the courts of Alaska are In a
position to know local conditions
r.nd pass u^on the meri's of Indi
vidual cas.'s arising in Aiaska, and
are not prejudiced by any theories
of 1'onserratlon. or influenced by
any coal and railroad Interests
Mr. Joslin thinks the Land Office
department la a prejudicial board,
because as la stated In the presi
dent's special message, it Is the
court that initiates the contest and
then rendera Judgment on Its own
charges. It la both prosecuting at
torney and Judge. It la the com
plaining witness and Jury, and nat
urally renders Judgment In favor of
Its own charges.
It la bel'eved that the house com
mutes will take favorable action on
the bill providing for the transfer
of the coal cases to the federal
courts of Alaska, but the chances of
securing tie passage of such a
measure bv congress are still some
what remote.

tXH'RTS SI STAIN VALIDITY
OF MRS. EDDY'S WILL
Boston, Feb 8 ? The spasmodic!
attempts at breaking the will of
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, founder of
Chrtsttan Science, have all fallen
through and litigation is ended.
The natural heirs have Joined with
the trustee of the church and
agreed that everything shall go ac
cording to the will. After provid
ing for her heirs, Mrs. Eddy left a
large fund In trusteeship for the
advancement of Christian Science
Yarlous attempts have been made to
divert the fund, but the courts have
always .susfaln.il the validity of her
bequests
Harry Dlerks of Juneai is visit
ing In the city.

president will have his military es
cort, and a hundred bands will play

NO MORE FEAR OF
SHORTAGE IN COAL
Skagway coal users are again
fortunate in being able to secure
unlimited quantities of Northfield
coal, minel on Departure bay Peo
ple living here about ten years ago
will remember the high quality of
Wellington coal that was shipped
to this port. It was free from dust
and rich In bitumen. With the
coming of the Cordova yesterday,
came a cargo of that same variety
of coal and now the Moore's wharf
company U able to supply all re
quirements The coal Is exception
ally superior in quality; burns
with a glow that warms the cock
les of the heart, and results In
satisfaction to both purchaser and
seller.

mation that a number of Oreek ;
aeroplanes are operating along the
Dardanelles. In several cities dy
namite bombs have been dropped In
to the forts from the 'planes, but
no account can be obtained re
garding the extent of the damage
done.
The Allies are making u geueral
attack on the Turkish troops In
many parts of the country, especial
ly In the vicinity of Tschepklol and
the Marltr.a river lying southwest
of the city of Adrlanople.
London ? The heaviest part of
the fighting seems centered around
Qalllpoll, it being the belief that
an extra attempt is being made to
land on the southers peninsula and
then force the fighting northward
An areoplane carrying dynamite
flew over the city of OaUlpoll and
dropped dynamite Into the ranks
of the soldier* which resulted In
considerable low. Other cities
along the Dardinelles hare sent
reports of the presence of aero
planes
