NEW BEACONS
 ALASKAN C0AS7
Only Four New Lights for Coast This Year Owing to Wreck
 of the Armerla

Lighthouse Inspector Ray l.. llaukinsnn, of Ketchikan, an nOunccs that four new lights will Dc established in Alaskan waters by the 20Ih of this month. Owing lo delays in establishing lights caused by the unfortunate wreck of the tender Arncria on IIinch- inbroOk island, the lighthouse board has been handicapped in placing bcacons where needed.
 The lights to be established this month are the Blank island light in Nichols passage, the Shakan Bay light in Sumner strait, and the Spanish Island light in Sumner Strait, and the Warburton island light in Nich- "ls passage. When the latter light is established, the Gull is- land light will Dc discontinued. The new lights will all be auto malic flashes, unwatchcd. Detail cd descriptions for mariners have been issued.
 The new lights at Ocean Cape, entrance to Yakutat bay, and at Iaikof Point, IIinchinbrook en- trance, are working perfectly.
 Owing iO the losses of appara- tus on the Armeria, install, lion of several lights have been in definitely postponed. Appropria- lions for their establishment were obtained from Congress last win ter after a strenuous campaign.
 The list of lights, inc cstab- lishment of which postponed, includes the Cape Spencer light, Cape St. Elias light, Busby island light, Smith island light, Seal is- land light, Point Helen light, Lone Tree Point light, Point FL ringtOn light, Barwell island light, Hive island light and Woody island light. The first two are in the Gulf of Alaska, the next six in Prince William Sound, the two following in Res- ,urrection bay, and the last one at Kodiak harbOr entrance.

MANUFACTURED evidence"

Recent cases arising in the courts
and In congress Investigations give Il
warning to honest n cautious men
against the too hasty acceptance Of
'evidence" offered by court officers
and detectives. The fact that a man
wears a badge as a court officer or
a detective does not give any assur-
ance that his word or his "evidence'
is worth any more thar the testimony
Of any other man. In fact. the recent
exposures Of crooked methods IN tho
part of detectives tend to discrcdit
evidence coming from such sources.

The courts and congress cannot be
too careful when dealing with the tes-
timony of court attaches and detec-
