General Reticence On Part of Law
yers to Defend Men Accuied
of Sedition.
In speaking to the court on the
subject of the genera! reticence that
has been manifested by the local
attorneys in handling cases of men
who have been charge with sedition,
Commissioner McDonald stated that
that spirit should not be. Every
man is innocent in the eyes of the
court until proven guilty, but the
popular comment of tne people is so
strong against those charged with
such crimes, that many lawyers do
not care to defend the accused, for
fear of prejudicing their standing
in the community.
The court is not allowed to pro
cure counsel for defendants in this
case, and it required much pressure
to be brought to bear on the at
torney R. R .Douse, who handled
the case for W. M. Hollerbach, be
fore he would take the defense.
The same state of affairs existed
in the case of Ed Lund, who was
without counsel. At the urgent re
quest of several men in town, Mr. J.
Hampton Miles was induced to han
dle the case for Lund, and once
Mr. Miles started, he left no stone
unturned to obtain a light sentence
for the accused, who had no testi
mony to offer against the prosecut
ing witnesses. Mr. Miles proved
himself a very forcible and capable
lawyer and his address to the jury
showed that his only interest in the
case was one of pure Americanism
and justice.

i COST OF REDISTILLING
SEIZED SPIRITS WOULD
EXCEED PRODUCERS’ PRICE 1
The following announcement is ,
authorized by the war department:
“N'umerous inquiries have come to
the war deparment with regard to
the possibility of redistilling seized
! spirits for alcohol.
;
“The acting chief of ordnance and ,
i the chief chemist of the bureau bf
internal revenue have examined into :
j the possibility and have found that ,
the small amount of alcohol recover
I ed per gallon of spirits, the cost of ;
.transportation, recooperage, and re
; distillation would make the cost to
the government greater than that it
is now paying. At the same time,
the risk of impurities in alcohol de
rived from the conglomerate spirts
j is of proportions worth serious con
|sideration when the alcohol is to go
! into the manufacture of explosives, i
■ The average yield from confiscated
' liquor would not exceed 5 per cent
j of alcohol.
"The war department, therefore, 1
I has replied to such inquiries by say
i Tng that the amount of alcohol which
could be obtained is insignificant :
compared with the total require
ments, which is nearly 100,000,000
pounds for this year, and that the
' cost of producing alcohol in this
! manner would greatly exceed the
price at which it can be bought from
the large producers.”
Lake Dewey, at Skagway, is to
be planted with brook trout this |
coming spring.

I
Felix McCall is in receipt of a
etter from a friend at Anchorage
n which it is stated that conditions
ire very quiet at the coast head
juarters of the Alaskan Engineering
■ommission, due largely to the fact
hat there is very little doing at the 1
jresent time in the way of railroad
construction.
There is absolutely nothing doing.
;he letter states, in the way of prop
erty transfers, there being no mar- i
cet at the present time for lots of
iny description. And business con
litions generally, are slow. :j
Mr. McCall, who formerly resided
it Anchorage, says that there is
lothing surprising in the statements ,
