Judge Bunnell lias rendered a de
cision that upholds the act of the terri
torial legislature providing that any
citizen may serve a summons in a
civil case. Heretofore, under the
federal law, a summons could not he
served by anybody except a duly
■ qualifle dofflcer. The decision of
■ Judge Bunnell is noteworthy, also, in
i asmuch as it reverses a decision made
' by Judge Fuller more than a year ago.
> The issue was raised in a case more
1 than a year ago. the record showed
_ that a summons had been served on
the defendant by a citizen over the age
; of 21 years, and in conformity with the
; enactment of the territorial legisla
ture. The defendant demurred to the
complaint, nllcging that the service
was faulty, in that it was not served
by a marshal, and on the grounds that
the territorial legislature had ex
\ ceeded its powers in modifying the
court procedure. After the matter
was submitted to Judge Fuller, he up
held the demurrer and held that the
legislature has no authority to pass
such an act.
The decision of Judge Bunnell cov
► ers 11 pages of typewritten matter,
> and covers fully the history of law
making for Alaska since the purchase
of the territory. In support of his
opinion, Judge Bunnell cites the case
of the United States vs. John Wigger,
in which the supreme court of the
United States held that the legisla
ture had authority to regulate pro
cedure, so long as it did not interfere
with the functions of the various offi
cers.
In concluding his opinion, Judge
Bunnell said:
“It does not appear that the United
States marshal, by the amendment as
above set forth, has been deprived
of any authority, juridiction or func
tion. He stands as an officer of the
court to perform such services as may
, be required of him by virtue o£ his
office. The territorial legislature
amended a section of the statute
making it possible for plaintiff in an
action to secure service of summons
by one other than the United States
marshal. It appears to the court to be
one of those minor regulations having
to do with practice and procedure
within the scope of authority of the
territorial legislature, under and by
virture of the act to create a legisla
tive assembly in the territory of Alas
ka, to confer legislative power there
in, and for other purposes.”
Several well-known attorneys were
consulted regarding the ruling of the
court, and all agreed that the reason
ing, in the legal sense, as applied by
Judge Bunnell, was good and they
thought his opinion would hold.

GERMAN DOLL FINDS
ITS WAY BACK HOME
BERLIN, April 16—After being ship
ped from the little town of Gera clear
across the Atlantic to Cincinnatti and
then back again, a gayly dresser little
doll that was manufactured in the
German village has come, through a
belated "Christmas celebration," into
the possession of one of the ohildren
of a doll maker.
The doll was included in a big
shipment of Christmas gifts from Ger
man-A mericans in the United States
to poor children here. In unpacking
the case, one woman, a native of Gera,
was struck by the familiar look of the
doll, which bore the inscription,
showed it to have been manufactured
in the town to which It had shipped
hack from Clnclnnattl as a gift.
HOW THE TURKS~
RETREATED ON SUEZ
CAIMO, April 16—Some curios facts
are coming to light regarding the
Turkish expedition on Suez, througn
tiio reports of reconnaisance parties
j which have been scouring the sands in
the rear of the retreaters.
On the bodies of some dead Turks
wore found cartridge clips containing
dummy cartridges which held no
powder. Probably corrups contrac
tors were responsible.
All reports, however, agree that the
Turkish artillery was of excellent
quality. Moreover, they took the ut
most pains to get their guns away
safely on their retreat. Not the
slightest sign has been discovered to
indicate that any of the artillery was
buried or hidden before they turnei
buck from the shores of the canal.
In preparing the way for their big
guns to descend finally from the last
range of hills, seven miles from the
Uritish front, it is stated that the
Turks with great care and infinite
method, trod and retroded and smooth
ed a path in the sand. The result pre
sented a fairly hard, smooth surface,
admirable for the purpose. Presum
ably the tramping-down of this road
was a series of movements which avi
ators and outposts reported as “aim
less walking backward and forward in
the sand.”

ROYAL LIBRARY A
REGULAR WAR FIELD
BERLIN, April 16—One of the most
popular places in Berlin at the pres
ent time is the Royal library where
there are on exhibition the autographs
of all the leading figures of the present j
war.
Eield Marshal von Hlndenburg is
but one of the men who have become
popular idols through their achieve
ments, and there is lively Interest in
anything concerning him. The collec
tion includes a letter from Hlnden
burg to the war ministry: a “God with
us” from the Kaiser: a “Carry it out"
from the Crown Prince: and the sig
natures of such men as von Kluck,1
von Lunendoff, von Morgen, von Mack-'
ensen, Havenstein, Breitenbach, the
imperial chancellor, the general staff
surgeon, von Schprnlng, Parseval, and
Count Zeppelin.
The exposition includes telegrapn
instruments, airships, automobiles,
mines and telescopes, each bearing the
autograph of its inventor. Each
member of the Krupp family, from the
first one to the inventor of the 42
centimeter gun, is represented.

The Alaska legislature has "mem- •:
oralized" congress in reference to the |
establishment of a smelter in this j
territory. This document sets forth ;
that there are many millions of tons of :
magnetic ore, containing more or less :
values In copper with which it is as- j
sociated. There is now no means of j
saving this iron ore and it is mined j
and shipped only for its contents of •
copper, gold an silver; the iron being j
thrown on the slag dumps as waste. '
The people of the Pacific Northwest
and Alaska have to pay a heavy ad
vance over the eastern prices for all
iron and steel products; and the pres
sent copper smelters charge 3 cents
per pound of copper for refining
(which seems to lie excessive) and
deduct 1 per cent of copper from the
amount in the ore to cover slag loss
(which also seems to be excessive).
The smelting of Alaska ores is
iron ore which is thrown away, al
though It costs the miner about $1 per
ton to mine and $1.75 per ton freight
to the smelter.
The smelting of Altlaska ores is
either done or dominated by one
American company of whom various
producers have complained of unfair
treatment.
This magnetic iron ore may oe
saved by crushing and concentration,
and by reason of extremely cheap
hydro-electnic power to be had in
southeastern Alaska may be smelted
In electric furnaces, and converted In
to steel pig, thus becomning a national
asset, besides stimulating mining as
well as agricultural and various in
dustries.
Private capital is not available for
this enterprise, and the smelter trust
will not save nor pay for this iron so
long ns they do not own the ore bodies
A milling and smelting plant of 200
tons dally capacity for the first unit
installed by the government under the
direction of the bureau of mines,
could concentrate this ore, save the
iron, copper and other values, pro
duce a substantial revenue for the
government, and assist the mining
industry.

TOMMY ATKINS SAYS
IT’S A RAG TIME WAR
LONDON, April 16—A sergeant of
the Army Service Corps writes:
“Our football ground is just be
hind a church not far from the tren
ches, and twice we have had to fill in
shell holes before we could start to
play. At the last match the last shell
the Germans fired came plump on the
center of the ground about ten min
utes before we kicked off. One soon
forgets about the shelling when the
play starts. Our troops here call this
a ragtime war, and they are about
right, 1 think, because Tommy takes
everything as it comes—football or
shooting. It's all one to him.”
