WAY IS OP ENED.
FOR PROSECUTION
Action of Circuit Court in
Alaskan Coal Case Is
Reversed.

Washington, December 4.--The SUI
preme Court of tho United States to-
day opened the way for the Federal
government TO prosecute coal land
frauds In Alaska by holding that tho
general coal land laws of the United
states. which forbid persons or assoc
Citations making more than one entry.
applied TO the unsurveycd coal regions
OF Alaska. The immediate result OF
this holding WAS the reversal Of the
action OF tho. United States Circuit
Court for Western Washington In
quashinG as invalid the Indictment
against Charles F. Munday and Archie
W. Shells OH charges of conspirins to
dcfraud the government out OF Alaska
coal lands valued at sl0,O00.UO0. Tho
way is now opened for their trial on
this charge. Justice Lurton rendered
the unanimous opinion of the court.
Alunday and Shells were indicted,
along with others. on charges of con-
splracy to dcfraud the government by
seeking to procure for the Alaska
Development Company and the Pacific
Coal and OIL Company some 5000 acres
of .tlaskn coal lands. 1t was alleged
that some forty persons were Induced
to make entries. ostcnsibly for them
selves. but In fact for the use of the
two corporations.
The indictments were brought in the
United states Circuit Court for West
crn Washington. but were auashed by
Judge Hanford on the ground that IL
person or association was not limited
TO one entry OF coal lands in Alaska.
The government brought the judges
action to the Supreme Court for re-
view.
Disputed Point Settled.
The Supreme Court passed upon
much disputed point of law. when II
decided that a life insurance policy
may be assigned to one not related or
to n creditor Of the person insured
when the assignment was not contcm-
plated at the time at the policy was
procured.
This decision was reached In DIS
posing of $4,000 life Insurance on the
life of John L. I3urchard, of Tonnes
see. He assigned his policy to Dr. \.
II. GriSsby. After his death the ad-
ministrator of the estate claimed the
money on the ground that Its assign
ment to a person without interest in
the life OF the insured was against
public policy, whether the assignment
was contemplated at the time the pol
lev was procured or later.
The United states Circuit Court for
Middle Tennessee held that the assign
ment was void. The Supreme Court
reversed the lower court.

BATTLESH|P RAMS
c RUISER DIXIE
Shock Distributed So Evenly
That Only Little Damage
Results.

New York, December the auxu
iary cruiser Dixie Will be nut in dry
dock at the Brooklyn Navy Yard this
week as the result OF n collision with
the Dreadnought Delaware in the
navy yard basin late yesterday, The
big bnttleship rammed the smaller
vessel with enough force 10 have sunk
an ordinary boat. but the usual good
luck that has been with the American
navy In all It's history again was in
evidence. and the shock was distri-
buted 30 evenly that the crulscr ca.
capped with Il bad shaking up, and a
temporary list The damage. II IL
believed. with amount to nothing moro
serious than possible forcing of some
OF the plates below the water line.
The Dreadnoueht was being taken
by tugs to new berth. to make room
for the battleships Michigan and
South Carolina. strong tide took
the ship out OF the control OF the tugs,
and II had Just enough headway TO
send 1t bow-on into the direction of
the Dixie. Tho tugs made frantic Of
forts to prevent the crash, but in vain.
The big battleship crept up on the
Dixie with her ram pointing straight
for the cruisers starboard bow. Of
fcers on the bridge of the Delaware
megaphoned orders in rapid success
sion. and bluejackets scampered out In
obedience to hurried commando
All expected to sec huge hole torn
In the Dixie's side By the ram of tho
Dreadnought. but WHEN only inches
separated the two boats the Delaware
vcered slightly and hit the Dixie a
sdelonG blow and the ram glanced off
without doing any material damage.
The impact shook the cruiser. ratified
her rigging and gave her a tilt to port.
Then the Dreadnought eased away and
the danger was over.
Before tho battleship was under oon-
troll again. however. tho deadly ram
pierced tho hull OF steam launch
which had put out to give emergency
aid. The launch sank, but the Ave
sailors on board escaped.
