The supreme court has set the hear ing of the Hum boldt Steamship Co.,, operating in Southeastern Alaska, vs. the United States Interstate Commerce Commission for the first day of April. The points involved in this case will be watched with much interest by Alas. kan shippers, the point to be decided being that of the jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission over Alaska. The suit of the Humboldt Steamship Go. against the commerce commission is the outcome of a suit instituted by MT. Kalish, head of the company, against the White Pass road, for alleged discrimination in the matter of rates. This suit took place before the interstate commission, who decided that they held no jurisdiction over Alaska, it being district and not state or territory. Upon this decision being rendered Mir. Kalish brought suit against the U. s. Interstate Commerce Commission in an effort to establish their jurisdiction over Alaska. The point to be decided by the supreme court in the hearing April first will be the status of Alaska in the eyes of the law, i e., whether Alaska is classified as a district or as territory.

For some time jewelry and clothing have

and when the proctor learned of this he
set trap for the thief He stationed
twenty-five students in hiding places about
the dormitories yesterday ana waited de-
velopments. Soon the japanese came in
and took several stickpins from pin cush-
ion IIe was then set upon by two stu
dents, who quickly subdued him. The New

ARCHITECTURAL ADVANCE.

That an American architect Walter E.

A number of American and Australian archi- tects, as well as men from other countries. competed The opportu- nifty was quite unusual in that 1t called for the designing of an entire city. Australia has acquired fed eral territory four miles square. 165 miles southwest of sydney. in New South Wales. which is to be made into another District of Columbia An elevated plateau, it is partially sur rounded by hills 200 feet high with a stream running through it which is to be damned thus making pos Sible unusual water effects The task of the competitors was not, of course to present designs for each of the many federal buildings-the national museum. thelter library. the Parlia- ment group, etc.-but to indicate on the plan the precise sites for these and many other monumental struct- ures. It was to accomplish for Aus tralia what Major L'Enfant did for the United States that the architects entered into competition. and it may be thought fitting, as France aided he United States to plan it's capital this older federation of States should perform a similar service for the new Australian federation.
 Now, Mir Griffin's success will have a double value if, besides awakening the world to a realization not too widely prevalent that American art in this field has become competitor to be reckoned with. it shall make the country as whole understand little what giant strides the entire architectural profession has ben m tk- ing Americans have had for so many years to apologize for their architecture. particularly in New York. that they have not found it easy to appreciate the revolution which has gone on under their eyes.
