the attorneys for the government in- sisted the prohibitions of the law of 1873 should not be read into the law of 1904
 Inasmuch as the law of 1904 permits the assignment of coal claims defend ants counsel argued that it was not illegal for them to agree to assign their coal claims.
 Furthermore, counsel contended that if it were legal for a locatorto assign his claim, it was equally legal for any person to buy as many assignments as he could pay for thus removing very foundaation of the indictment.
 A demurrer may be appealed from Judge Hanford's decision, which sets the defendants in the Stracey group free if the government declines to prosecute on the ground left.
 The government counsel, B. D. Townsend and s. R. Rush, say the rul- ing is not final and that the other cases will be prosecuted and the Alas ka coal claims forfeited. The esti- mated value of the land covered by all claims is more than $1,000, 100000

Seattle, Wash, April The gov ernment lost its first Lattle in the effort to punish the alleged f }udulegt locators of Alaska coal lar ludse Cornelius II. K. Hansord, in nltel States district court, althoUgD over ruled the motion to instruct tl9 juiy to acquit Charles F. Munda., E. D.. Siegley and Archie Shiels, yet he sus- tained all the vital points ,elded for by the defendants.
 The ground on which the court re- fused to grant the motion to acquit was not raised by counsel for either side in the suit but by the judge him self It leaves the government so lit tie room to stand on that it Is said to be virtually assured that the prosecu- ton will be dropped.
 The lands in question are the Eng fish, or Sir Edward Stracey, group. They are said to be richer even than the Cunningham claims. Estimates of their value range from $100000,000 to much larger sum.
 The defendants. together with Al gernon Stracey. a brother of Sir Ed ward Stracey, were indicted at Ia coma last fall, charged with conspir- acy to defraud the government. Stracey remained in Vancouver, B. C., and avoided arrest.
 The argument of attorneys for the defense was based a.most entirely on the contention that the 1904 law ap- piled to Alaska coal claims, instead of the general land lew of 1873, while

Emelie Melville. one of the prime IA
vorites of the Columbia Players, Is the
latest convert to the automobile craze
that has struck that organization and In
the near future an electric runabout
will be added to her possessions.
Mrs. Melville has two-foId purpose
in joining the ranks Of the autcmo-

her TO devote more time to her one real
recreation, making tours Of the hos

She and her daughter occupy cozy
little apartment in Washington Heights,
and the distance from the theater
makes a runabout valuable acquisi-

profession, having toured the world sew

Memories of Old South
Revived by Polk Miller

There are those to whom a remi-
niscence of the old South, the South
"befo the war" is one of the greatest
pleasures to be experienced. Polk
Miller brought back those memories
yesterday afternoon at the Columbia.
1t really is not an exaggeration to
say "hours." The audience was told
at the beginning of the entertainment
that it could stay as long as 1t chose.
even till just before the stage was
cleared for the evening performance,
and it was well on to I o'clock before
anyone thought OF leaving.
There was no program. Polk Miller
doesn't believe in programs. The cur
tain rose, and there were Mr.. Miller, his
delightful companion Tom Booker, and
tht negro quartet. There We're a few
stories told first, then a song, and q
breakdown" on the banjos. The
afternoon was spent just that way. In
an informal way that won all hearts.
The south side" of Virginia was fully
revealed. Such old songs as Run
Niger, Run ''Old Dan Tucker" "A
Little More cider for Miss Dinah," from
whom else would they be heard If no
from Polk Miller. Mr.. Miller is pre-
serving the real traditions OF old plan
tation life, and may 1t be long befor,
he and his entertainment become bu
memory.

Beauty of Puccini's Opera

Out.

All the beauty and pathos which Puc-
cini has thrown into that latter-day,
Japanese-American classic Madam
Butterfly" were brought out with
admirable skill by the Aborn Eng
lish Grand Opera Company at the
National last night. The diff
Guilty of rendering grand opera Ia
English was brought home to the
audience to an extent which would no.
be so fully realized in any other opera
in the repertoire. One comes up with a
jolt to hear such bald, everyday speech
as high ball or whisky" when the mind
is keyed to grand opera pitch. The
musical Italian takes the angles OF
such startling incongrulties.
For all this the English language and
not the opera company is responsible,
however, and is but a thought in pass
ing. Miss Dora de Fillipe was more
than acceptable in the long and exact
ing title role. The proverb says that
one cannot have the voice of the night
ingale and the plumage of the peacock.

range and modulation is found in an
artist of SO much histrionic ability. II
