MRS, AnNA NEE
 WINS A SUIT

Tn q late issue of the Dawson Dlily News Is story concerning Mrs. Anna Nee, formerly very well known in Fairbanks and Iditarod The story itself i3 as follows:
 Two well known Dawson peo ple figured recently in an action in the Tacoma courts which is of added interest because ot the fact that the matter was settled by a .ju1y comprising women as well a~ men. The three women were asked by the court if they might not be preiudiced i'll favor of the women ill the case. They stood out after the trial for the man, and the men on tue july for the wo man. The Tacoma News says:
 Anna NJ Nee obtained judg ment for S2oo against Willard Jones ill Judge Easterday's court yesterday afternoon. Three years ago, the plaintiff, who was i'll the restaurant business ill Dawson, be- came acquainted with Jones and, according 10 the testimony, lent 52oo to hin. Jones denied getting the money.
 There were only two witnesses. The plaintiff said she lent the money and the defendant denied, The jury was composed of three women and nine men. The wo- men members were asked collec lively if they would be trejudiced in favor of the plaintiff because she was women. Glancing at the plaintiff, who had been endowed by nature with more than ordinary attractive features, one of the wo men replled:
 II don't think the women on the jury will be prejudiced, but l am afraid some of the men may be-. "
 The case went to the jury about 5 o'clock. The first ballot stood nine to three, the men voting in favor of the handsome plaintiff and the women for the defendant. Bal lot after ballot was taken without changing the results until about 6 o'clock the three women went over to the side of the plaintiff.

 TREATY SPIRIT

ToI<io, June 6-The reJoinder of Jar pan to the United States note on the subject of the California alien land ownership legislation raiterates that the land bill passed by the California legislature violates the spirit of the Japanese-American treaty by dlscrimJ mating against a. friendly power

 Interest in the controversy continues to be the paramount subject of con- versation among all classes in Japan Separate mass meetings of protest are being arranged.
