ANTI ALIEN LAW |S HELD VALID
 IN NEW YORK

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. - Fol lowing the recent decision, holding the anti-alien law of Arizona void. the Supreme Court in a slightly dis similar case held the antt-alien law of New York valid, in an important decision handed down today The New York statute instead of being of a general nature like the Arizona one, simply made it compulsory to employ citizens of the United States in the construction of public works. In a well considered opinion the ma jority of the court upheld the New York law, clearly defining the dis between the two cases, and showing that the latter case is not brought by the facts within the pro- hibtory clauses of the national con- which guarantees to all residents of a state the equal protec- tion of it's laws.

REDUCED RATES
 FUR NIGHT MESSAGES

The United States Signal Corps has made 6 new rate for messages over the government cable, effective on December 1, when night letter rate, the same as enjoyed by the patrons of the Western Union Telegraph Company in the States, will be given Alaskans. In other words, a fifty word cablegram can be sent to Seattle for s24O, as a night message. This same proportionate rate will apply to messages sent anywhere m the States, the charge for fifty words be- ing at the same rate as it now costs to send a ten word day message.
 The new order will mean a great saving to the patrons of the cable, and at the same time win afford those who desire to send social mes sages an opportunity of taking ad- vantage of an exceptionally low rate for a fifty word letter

esteemed resident of Sumter and one
of the best known men of the county,
