WILL OFFER AN
AMENDMENT TO
ALASKA CODE
The difficulties sometimes experi
enced in obtaining a qualified judge
to sit on cases wherein the presiding
judge is disqualified for any reaBon
from hearing them, has led to some
discussion among attorneys as to a
remedy. It is held that the delay con
sequent upon the failure to promptly
secure a jurist qualified to hear the
cases might result detrimentally to
one side or the other through the dis
appearance of witnesses and other
causes.
While Acting Attorney General Cobb
was in Valdez a few days ago Attorney
J. R. Reed took up the matter with
him and tentative plans were formu
lated to remedy the matter. To this
end Mr. Reed has drawn up and will
submit at the next session of the ter
ritorial legislature the following
amendment:
"Resolved, That section 1540 of the
Compiled Raws of Alaska, chapter 70
of the code of civil proceedure, he and
is hereby amended to read as follows:
"Whenever it appears that the
judge of the district court presiding
in the division where the action is
pending is disqualified under the pro
visions of the section last preceding
the action shall be transferred to an
other division of said court unless a
judge of another division will appear
and preside during the disposition
thereof: Provided, how'ever, That the
parties may, by written stipulation,
agree upon a member of the bar of
said court to try the same.
“Provided, however, That upon the
demand of either party the marshal
shall, after having given one day's no
tice in writing by posting same in a
conspicuous place at or near the court
house door, setting forth the time and
place of said meeting which shall be
held in the district court room, call
a meeting of the bar of said court
then in attendance and said bar shall
- ' ■ - 1 - —w—
elect one of Its members to try said
cause as district judge pro tempore.
The compensation of the district judge
pro tempore shall be twenty dollars
per diem, which shall be paid from
the territorial treasury.”

ME X I C A N MINISTER TO
JAPAN TALAS
...
TOKIO, Aug. 16. — Colonel Manuel 1
Romero, formerly special commission
er of the late President Huerta of j
Mexico, to Japan, and now a represen- \
tatlve of the Carranza government '
here, arrived in Japan about the first
of June, announcing that he possessed
credentials which made him minister
to the Tokio government. He has
not yet been presented to the em
peror. Yoshlhlto, and until he has the
Japanese government will consider j
Mr. Tellez, the charge d'affaires, as !
the official representative of the de I
facto Carranza government.
‘‘.Mexico is powerful enough to deal j
with her own affairs at present," Mr.
Romero was quoted as saying in the
Japanese press when he landed. He
went on: “Everything in Mexico just
now is in perfect order or is rapidly
assuming that condition. Commerce,
industry, agriculture, communications
and enterprises of many other kinds
are all in a normal condition . Reports
to the contrary are absolutely un
found ed.
"(leneral Carranza's government,
stands on a firm foundation, and has
the confidence of the people. No man
is more able or better fitted than Gen
eral Carranza to govern Mexico. Gen
eral Carranza’s government has ample
revenues to meet all necessary out
lays.
“Relations between Mexico and
other countries will become more cor
dial. The Mexican government is on
the most friendly terms with the
Cnited States government. General
Carranza has an army strong enough j
to subjugate the rebels or bandits. '
This is the reason General Carranza |
is now requesting an early withdrawal
of the Cnited States troops from Mexi
can territory."
