DECISION OF JUDGE FULLER
 IGNORED BY HIS SUCCESSOR

Judge Bunnell has rendered decision ln the case of H. 4. Currler vs. John Mlhlaclk which means much to the people Of the Fourth judicial division, in that it upholdS the act of the territorial legislature provlG- ing that any citizen may serve summons in civil case says the Fairbanks Times f March 2S. Heretofore, under the federal law. q summons could not be served by anybody except a duly qualified otncer The decision of Judge Bunnell IS note worthy Inasmuch as it reVerses decision made by Judge Fuller more than year ago.
 In the case of Peterson vs. McPlke filed in the district court more than year ago. the record showed that a summons had been served on the defendant by cltlzen over the age of 21 years, and in conformity with the enactment of the territorial lagls- lature. The defendant demurred to the complaint. alleging that the service was faulty. in that it was not served by mar shaI and on the grounds that the terntorIa! legislature had exceeded its powers ln modl- fying the court procedure. Alter the mat ter was submitted to Judge Fuller he up held the demurrer and held that the leglS- lators had no authority to pass such an ac.-
 In the case of Currier vs. John Mlhalc!h. which was before Judge Bunnell, the record shows that the summons was duly served on the defendant by Robert E. Willis, deslg- mated as citizen of the United States, over the age of 21 years, and returned into court with an affidavit, as provided by the statute The defendant then demurred on the same grounds as in the case before Judge Fuller. and the matter was argued at length by the attorneys.
 The decision of Judge Bunnen covers eleven pages of typewriter matter, and GOV CTS fully the history of law-malling for Alaska since the purchase of the territory: In support of his opinion, Judge Bunnell cites the case of the United States vs. John Wigger, ID which the supreme court oi the United States held that the legislature had authority to regulate procedure, so long as it did not interfere with the functions Of the various officers

DECIDES UPON TWO STEPS
Wilson and Advisors Fix Tentatively
Upon Course to Be Taken az
to Germany.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Before the
last note. to Germany, which was de-
signed to terminate the diplomatic
interchange regarding the submarine
issue was cabled to Berlin, the Presi-
dent and his advisors deemed 1t wise
to fix tentatively upon the steps that
would be taken If Germany disre-
garded the warning then given.
Although no intimation was given
that the government had any suspic-
ion that the German government
would commit a breach of the prin-
ciples stated by the United States,
the fact was that the actual decision
was reached at that time, so that the
future relations of the United States
with Germany were made to depend
entirely upon the conduct Of the lat
ter nation.
Decide Upon Two Steps.
According to the best information
secured in the interval since the note
was dispatched, two steps were de-
cided upon tentatively. These are:
Ffrst-the severance Of diplomatic
relatlons-a step which the president
may take upon his W constitutional
authority.
Second-Congress to be called into
session Immediately to receive full
information from the executive branch
of the government as to the acts of
Germany so that 1t may exercise it's
prerogative deciding what further
steps If any shall be taken to main
tain the honor Of the country and
protect the rights Of its citizens.
National Defense Program.
1t Is believed tiat the first move
the president would make after SUBJ
hitting the issue to congress would
be to present his national defense
program.
