Several Cases Held Up.


AT the present time there are several
cases against alleged handbook men
which have not been tried in Police
Court. and which may never be trl 'H.
The,. have been pending for year or
more. The reason 70 rnUI pushing ITEM
is the fact that others who were ar
rested on practically the same eN!,l'l
TESTIMONY of stool pigeons were ac-
ouitted in court. and there is not much
use Of irving cases where the precedent
is acquittal.'
The major went on to explain That
police court juries were loath 10 conNiSl
handbook men on the testimony OF the
..SrOoI pigeous' used by the police 10
Mace bets To get men of standing in
the community, whose testimony would
be unuuestiuned. to go out and place
he+s with the bookmakers and then ap-
pear as witnesses is Impossible, the
police say. and. even II they could be
obtained the case would probably ran
because of the fact that the police had
sent them out for the express purpose
OF making a case.
Ma ior Sylvester declined to comment
or the reported investigation OF hand
book men in Government dtpar trhehtS tSs S
other than the Navy Yard. While II Is
gossiped in one of the departments that
many women employees are regular bet
ters on horse races, Major sylvester
said that this phase of the department.
handbook business had never been
brought To his attention
The major said that the precinct de
teCtives in certain precincts are IN
structed to keep suspected handbook
men under surveillance. and to make
an arrest whenever they get the eVi-
dence He recalled the fact that. dur
in- the last few years a large number
Of arrests of alleged handbook men had
been made in the business section ot the
city by police of the First and sixth
precincts. but that almost without eN-
ception the cases had failed in court
this being due to the courts attitude to-
ward pigeons
Another police official who has had
considera BILE to do with handbook cases.
said:
One of the reasons for failure Of the
cases in court is. to my mind. that most
juries do not look upon raCehorse bet
ting as a seriOUs crime. They know
that to find a bOOkmaker guilty means
that he will probably be sent to jail
for a time. and also made 10 paw a
heavy fine. Unless the evidence Is so
strong and clear that II would be impos-
sibe TO do otherwise. the defendant is
usually found not guilty. The prose
cutting attorneys know this. and have
expressed themselves in no uncertain
terms about this condition.

PASSAGE OF CURRENCY
 BILL HELPS.
-O-O

THE passage of the administration
 currency bill through the House
 of Representatives by a three to one vote indicates that the bill will have plain sailing in the Senate. So many Republicans and Progressives are supporting the measure that de bate would only serve to relieve the party in power of responsibility for the law if it should not prove to be all that it's authors hope for it, while it would not serve to divide the credit if it should work out as it is believed that it will It is known that the bill will pass when it does come to a vote, therefore, there is no point to be gained or purpose to be served by prolonging a session of Congress when there are so many Senators that desire a vacation.
 The unanimity of sentiment that is behind this administration measure cannot fail to strengthen the confidence the people have in the President as a statesman, and confidence in the government is now a very live asset to those engaged in all manner of business. The expressions of sat isfaction over the termination of the tariff fight in Congress come from ev- cry section of the United States and from those engaged in all lines of in- dustry and commerce. The passage of the currency bill and an early ad- journment of Congress will make the contentment over political conditions in the Nation complete

WELCOME MIR. DAVIDSON.


 THE people of Juneau, regardless l of party. welcome the return
 to the city of Charles G. David son, who for many years was an ac- tive citizen of the capital. That he comes to hold an important position in the administration adds to the pleas urc of his coming. No man ever took office in Alaska that was more complete ly identified with the Northland than is Mir Davidson. and none possessed better knowledge than he has of the work that he will have to perform. One is not required to draw on an opti- mistic disposition to predict a sue ccssfuI administration for him. With a community that likes him to live in and a position so nearly in line with his profession to occupy his attention the lot of the chairman of the Alaska Democratic Territorial Committee should be a happy one.

ADMINISTRATION POLICIES M
 PROVE OUTLOOK
O-O

A $ THE policies of the present ad- A ministration are being unfOlded
 the outlook for Alaska gets brighter. The reduction of the tariff, operating in connection with compile ton of the Panama canal, will serve to reduce the cost of living and develop ment. It will make less costly those things that the people of Alaska must buy. and remove many of the artificial Instructions to business generally.
 The policy of constructive develop ment work in the North, if it shall be backed up by the enactment of the necessary legislation by Congress, will stimulate development in all sections of Alaska. And the fact that the ad- miuistration has decided to make Alas la legislation the third of it's construc- tive measures to be pressed for sOlu ton makes the success of its plans so nearly a foregone conclusion that none can be accused of following unsound business methods if he discounts it's effects. The complete triumph of the administration policies that have been put up to Congress thus far makes al most certain that it's Alaska bills will also go through
