BANK OWNER PRAISES
 NEW CURRENCY BILL

That the new banking law will do practically everything its sponsors have claimed for 1t in restoring busi. ness and industry to conditions of nor. nal activity and development while re- leasing the financial institutions of the United States from an old and out worn garb. fashioned about the time of the Civil War, is the emphatic opiu. ion of Daniel Kelleher. director of the Seattle National Bank and the largest holder of stocks in Seattle, expressed at a public meeting in that city. Mir. Kelleher has not only made care ful study of the currency law, but is familiar with every detail of change made during its long consideration by Congress.
 For the last twenty years business men, as well as bankers. have been aware that the currency laws of the United States were out of date, and instead of helping business have hin dered it," said Mir. Kelleher. "The country has, however. grown and ex- banded in spite of the anticipated cur rency law that was passed fifty years ago as a war measure.
 The present act is a good thing for the merchant, the manufacturer and farmer. as we'll as the banker"

NEW APPEAL FOR
 THE TOW CASE

The government has made a mo- tion to dismiss the writ of error from the Supreme Court in the case of o. Itow and E. Fushima against the Unit ed States. on the ground that the new Federal code. which went into effect in 1912, chages the rule of writs of error in capital cases from Alaska, to the United States Circuit Court of Alp peals for the Ninth Circuit.
 As the time for suing out writ of error to the Circuit Court of Appeals will expire before the motion will be heard, the defendants by their attor- ney have sued out a writ of error to the Circuit Court of Appeals so as to save their rights to have the judge ment reviewed, If the Supreme Court shall hold that it no longer has juris- diction of capital cases from Alaska.
 O. Itow and E. Fushima were found guilty of having participated in the killing of Frank Dunn at Dundas Bay cannery in August. 1912, They went to trial and were convicted in the district court here, Itow for first de- gree murder, and Fushima for man. slaughter. Itow is under sentence of death and Fushima is serving time in McNeil island. Judge Peter D. Over field presided at the trial.

ALASKA-JUNEAU WINS
 SUIT FROM EBNER

The Circuit Court of Appeals yes terday sustained the decision of Judge F.. E. Cushman in the suit of the Alas. ka-Ebner Gold Mining company against the Alaska.Juneau company involving the right to build the upper end of the Alaska-Juneau ditch.
 The case was tried before Judge Cushman at Juneau about two years ago. and the decision. while not sus- taining in full the contentious of eith- CT side. was. as far as general results are concerned. favorable to the Alas ka-Juneau company. The Ebner com pany appealed from the decision, and the upper court sustained the lower.
 Water Rights Not Involved.
 John R. Vim, of the firm of Vim & Burton. referring to the recent de- cision of the Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of Ebner Gold Mining com pany vs. the Alaska-Juneau Gold Min ing company. says that the decision in no wise affects the water right of the Ebner company on Gold creek. The suit in question was one in ejectment, he said. brought by the Ebner com pany against the Alaska-Juneau com pany to eject the latter company from what is known as the Parish No and Lotta lode claims on Gold creek.
 "The Alaska-Juneau company was claiming virtually the same ground un- der it's locations known as the Ore gon and Canyon claims" said Mir. Vim. "and contended that 1t had a right of way across the ground ir question by virtue of it's ownership of these two last mentioned claims. The decision of the lower court was that neither of the companies owned the ground embraced in the Parish No. 2 claim for the reason that no dis covery had been made thereon. but the Alaska.Juneau company was eject ed from the Lotta claim and it ac- quisced in the decision of the lower court and never appealed therefrom and hence the Oregon and Canyon claim locations became absolutely void. The Ebner company appealed from the decision of the lower court, but the circuit court confirmed the de. cision.
 "The Ebner company has it's appli, cation for patent to the Parish No. 2 claim pending in the land office at Juneau, which, in my opinion, is in no wise affected by the decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals. and the ED, ner company will eventually become the owner of this claim. The Ebner company claims a right to take cer' tain quantity of the water of Gold creek and divert it at a point thereon above the intake of the Alaska-Juneau company and apply it to use. return ing it to Gold creek below the intake of the Alaska Juneau company. The Alaska,Juneau company is seeking to take the water from the creek, con, vey it to the beach below Juneau and there apply it to some use. In other words. this company does not intend to return the water to Gold creek after it has once been diverted. This water right question. as above stated. was in no wise litigated in the suit that has just been decided"

Gone of the leading banking interests in the Unit ed States, who is in close touch with the Administration, says that 1t is his belief that within a year, legislation will be enacted in Washington which will permit of the issuing of railroad securities, under government super vision, and that this will add to the ability of the bankers to dispose of railroad securities, as such issaances will then be practically under govern ment guarantee.
 This with the prospect of raise in freight rates are counted upon to add strength to railroad securities, and promote further railroad construction.
