the slot machines were illegal, and that the matter was therefore proper ly before his office for action. The District Attorney replied saying that the matter would receive prompt at tention from him.
 In discussing the third charge the court said that the substance of it was that E. F. Medley, a local attorney, was a partner of Judge Adams con trary to the statute The witness had no testimony to prove the partner ship relation. He said MT. Medley and MT Adams occupied the same off ce, and that Medley acted as editor of Alaska Times for a period. There was evidence that Mir. Adams was a stockholder in the corporation that published the Alaska Times. The fourth charge also challenged Mir. Medley's connection with Mir. Adams, on the ground that whenever the law required the commissioner to appoint an attorney, he had appointed Mr Medley The complaining witness did not have any direct information on these matters, saying only that he had heard so and so.
 The fifth charge involved the pub fishing of legal notices from the com missioner's court in the Alaska Times, and centered on the point whether or not such notices should not have been published in the Daily Alaskan, the newspaper, partly owned and man. aged by the complaining witness. One case was cited, where exception was taken to the charge made by the Times for this publication. The com missioner introduced receipts from the Alaskan showing that practically the same price had been paid it for

SPAIN OFFERS INDICTMENT
TO ITS MANUFACTURERS

Correspondence OF the Associated Press)
MADRID. Spain. Aug. 1.-THE Spanish
government has taken far reaching ac-
ton to foster manufacturing. A recent
decree of the secretary OF the treasury
provides for certain tax and import ex-
emptions to be enjoyed for a limited
period by stock companies formed for the
exploitation OF one or more branches OF
manufacture or industry which do not
exist in the kingdom. or which, while
existing 20 a certain extent, fail to pro-
duce enough OF their products for the
homie consumption of Spain.
AS the Spanish treasury is running at
daily increasing loss this step on the
part of the Dato ministry is considered
to be dictated by the hope that such
financial concessions TO new companies,
and to old companies embarklng upon
new fields, will in the end increase the
revenues OF the government The plan
has the added advantage. also. of being
the first step towards making Spain
somewhat more economically and indus
trially Independent than It has been since
the inveltion OF modern machinery.

Subalterns Are
Recruited from the
Best in Colonies

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
LONDON, July 26.-1t has been the
general practice of the British army In
the present war to get its supply Of
subalterns from the best territorial regi-
ments, which correspond to the crack
state guard regiments of America These
regiments receive as recruits only young
men of a certain standard of education
an social position. The Honorable Artil-
lery company. which consists now of
many companies. and which sprang from
the same historic organization as the
Honorable Artillery company of Boston.
Mass. is perhaps the best known of these
regiments in the United States. But no
regiment contributes more young officers
to the new and regular armies than the
Artists Rifles, which has won commits
sions for nearly 1900 Of its former
privates.
The Artist7' Rifles Is composed Of
young professional men of various call
ings. Its versatility is illustrated by an
incident that happened in the early days
OF the war; when six electrical engineers
restored electric lights to a French town,
where the lights had failed with serious
consequences. II was the artists who
converted q disused stable at Bailleul
into bath house for the men returning
from the trenches.
Soon after going to France the resl-
ment was turned into training school
for officers on the ground that its ma
terial was too valuable to waste in the
ordinary way.
A man who enlists as a private In the
Artists and afterwards obtains com
mission from the training school in
France. secures his seniority in the regu-
lar establishment, If he desires per-
manent career in the army, from the
date Of his first commission. This train
ing Is remarkably thorough. as the men
get all the life and the practical ex-
perience of privates with the technical
training of officers.

ZEPPELINS HAVE TROUBLE
Summer Temperatures Affect Ger
man War Balloons and Prevent
Successful Msneuvers.
RAIN AND WIND ALSO HINDER

Correspondence OF the Associated Press)
PARIS, July %.-Parsians are wonder
ing why they receive no more visits from
German aeroplanes or Zeppelins 9th
of these types OF aircraft were looked
for in retaliation for the Karlsruhe raid.
Able Moreaux, director OF the Bourges
observatory, gives some meteorological
reasons for the abstention OF zeppellns
during warm weather.
The first Is the diminution OF tho
ascensional force OF the balloon, due 70
the expansion Of the gas by neat and
the necessity of reducing the volume in
order TO avoid explosion. The ballast a
Zeppelin can carry varies according to
the type from a thousand pounds to a
ton in normal weather. II the Zeppelin
leaves Belgium, for instance, on a sum-
mer night when the Thermometer reg
listers 90 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit carry
ing in bombs its full capacity OF ballast
its ascensional force would be much
weaker than In winter, and every rise
of one degree OF temper allure would re-
duce its ballast-carrying capacity $50
pounds. The conditions are more favor
able in the higher atmosphere, but the
lower temperature there cannot restore
the volume of gas It may have been
necessary to release during the ascension
to avoid explosion. Consequently the
ballast load must be Insignificant or the
balloon must fly at the height Of under
1000 yards.
weather flinders.
Besides the temperature the Zeppelin
has trouble against rain, lightning and
wind. The region through which it would
be obliged to pass is subject to heavy
rains that no meteorologist in the world
can foresee with certainty, and what In
dications may be given arc unavailable
to the Germans since the allies have
ceased publishing weather forecastN One
fifth Of an inch of rainfall. Able More
aux points out adds ton to the weight
of the big Zeppelin, reducing its ascen-
sional force to zero.
The winds, though not so strong as
in springtime, are generally contrary to
the course the Zeppelin would be obliged
to follow 10 reach Paris. Statistics COM
piled during a long period OF study show
out of 1900 observations the wind was
i'm the west or southwest 5000 times at
this season, while 1t was in the north and
east only 1900 times. Moreover, In the
upper atmosphere TO which the Zeppelin
would be obliged to rise, violent whirl-
winds may instantly follow perfect calm.
in addition to constant changes Of the
wind current against which the Zeppelin
would find it difficult to fight.
Able Moreaux concludes that for one
single successful attempt to reach Paris
the zeppelins must make many failures.
