PRIHTiNG THE EW9.

The evidence brought out during the trial of Bobby Jones last week IS not published in The Citizen this week, and there is reason At conference called by Judge Bunne}l just before the taking oi evidence In the above case repre- sentatiyes of the three papers were addressed by the judge as to the hardship in getting q jury for fu- ture trials if any of the testimony vas printed. end of course if one paper printed some of il the neNt one would go little deeper into il and when l, came The Citizen z turn We would have the whole story
 Judge BupueiI did mol make this as request for the suppression of the news, and left the matte; entirely up to the papers them selves to handle as little or as much as they could agree on
 Both the kept lady" and the News Miner agreed that they w0ulI refrain from publishing the taaG mony and would coufine them selves to mera dotaiIs. The Cii, zen did not promise anything,
 However, we were inclined t. take into consideration the troubles Of the court in the selection ot jurymen for future cases and dc likewise. at the same time protest ing that it was legitimate news, to which Judge Bunnell agreed
 Since then we have been think ing the matter over and cannot see for the life of us why we should exclude any news upon the grounds stated by tho judge, The people who buy The Citizen do so bccaus1 they get all the news there is, and that Is the reason why our sub scription list has been continually growing. They are entitled to what they pay for if it is to be had.
 However, We laedjtated deeply on our rights and came to cur detarui nation too late to do us any good this week in the Jones case. We could go ahead and publish the testimony, because we did not enter into the compact, but by remaining quiet we practically committed our selves and + would be unfair to the others at the conference to print the story now. Therefore our readers will be disappointed, but we can promise them that, with this fair notice to our contemporaries, we will have the balance of the cases, if admitted to the courtroom

WHO'S DOING IT.

A secret indictment is returned and the court instructs that a bench warrant issue for the arrest of the person indicted The bench war
 rant is usually placed in the hands of the marshal for immediate ser
 vice and unless otherwise instruct ed that officer immediately arrests the accused The district attorney usually directs such matters be, cause he has knowledge of the evi- dence against the accused and the court, relying upon the honesty of the attorney, respects his wishes in the matter. Sometimes the bench warrant is ordered issued, but, upon request of the district attorney, is withheld from the marshal until the former inStruCtS service We un- derStand that in the present cases of secret indictments the court or dered bench warrants to issue but not to be served until the district attorney instructed There can be no criticism upon the court, be- cause there is nothing wrong in his instructions. The court cannot know the secret reason for the war rants not being served unless the district attorney informs the court

Old Applicants
 Will Be Dropped

In district court last Monday night Judge Charles E. Bunnell granted permission to the district attorneys office to drop from the list of nat uralization applicants all of those whose names had been on the list for two years .or more. All who are dropped will be notified of such action by the clerk of court.
 The request to drop the names was made of the court by Assistant District Attorney Harry F. Pratt and the court instructed him to draw up the order. The matter was brought at the conclusion of the naturalization hearing, when seven men were admitted to citizen ship. They were Salve Tobiason, D. H. Delaney, M Meisingseth, C. K. Priess, M. L. Forstdhagen, Joseph Werner and H. B. Peterson.

 WHAT interest could a grizzled old court bailiff have in the out come of the Woodbridge case which would cause him to go down the street throwing his hat up In the air and prociaiming "victory?"
 THE Forty-Ninth Star, published by Frame at Valdez, had a Fair banks Chicken story in his issue of the 4th of March, and propounds queries which the Fairbanks people cannot answer.
 SOME families are getting quite "grubstake" from the government in the way of witness fees. There is one bright ray, however. The "jail bait" will have reached the age of consent in another year, so they will only have about one more chance at the trough.
 There Is man in our town
 And he Is wondrous wise
 He jumped upon a speech he wrote

 He quickly grabbed his pen, And with a thousand strenuous

 IT is easily understood why the higher-ups of the marshaps office Houiu 6Cl SouoSd lllC lllShl tlC Jul returned verdict of guilty against Woodbridge, but why the clerk Of the court should join in the hilarity ia mere than the average man can understand. Gan it be that he had a finger in the pie?

Commissioner Riggs
 Writes on Tungsten

On recent mail from the Out side the Fairbanks Commercial club was in receipt of a letter from Thomas Rigg" Jr., of the Alaskan Engineering commission. relative to the tungsten industry in this part of the country. The letter is as follows:
 Washington D. C. Feb. 2l, 1916. Mir. Wallace Cathcau. Secretary Fairbanks Commercial Club, Fair banks. Alasna.
 Dear GIr. Cathcart:
 This is to confirm my telegram, of today to be sent from Seattle by Mir c. E. Dole. our purchasing agent I wired as follows:
 Please s2nd promised letter TO earding tungsten.
 The matter Of tungsten is re cciying great deal of attention In response to my letters to tungsten dealers quoting part of your preyj- 0us telegram, 1 received replies showing grea: interest. have en- deavored to put tkcm in touch either with you or with Johnson < E1wers. I hope that we can promote an interest in prospecting for tung- ten, as tni5 netal will have a h'gl value, not only for the period Of tho war, but for several years after the war There should be as good de posits in the Fairbanks district as that discovered by Mir. Johnson.
 T have noted the activities of the Fairbanks Commercial club with a great deal of interest and plea sure. I think Fairbanks is to be congratulated upon having such an aggressive body.
 With very kind regards to you, l am always
 Cordially yours,

 LAST Monday evening the News Miner almost accused The Citizen oI receiving or being bought off by subscription from some official Ii that family journal can and will tell who that official was we will ha greatly obliged. for they are so few and far betSeen on our subsCrip- tion books that We are afraid we have overlook ed something. If thiz issue suits thG News Miner any bet ter will they please retract theil insinuations,
 THE argument advanced by the prosecuting attorneys office for th, withholding of service in the secret indictments was that, being of the same nature of crime. it wOuli create a prejudice and the govern ment would not be able to obta.u convictions In any Of the cases. If the withholding of service is ol benefit to the government, why not give the defendants the same cen 5ideration and allow them the bene. fit of knowing who the indictments are against? Is 1t taiT t tie G.. cused to give the government all the best of 1t?
 IF one or two of the secret il. dictments should subsequently prove to be for that many of the wit nesses testlfyirg in the WoolJlid ge case, could Mir. R. FRoth ever con vince the public that he did not use the knowledge as clubs to get the testimony desired to convict? And suppose again. that couple or all of these indictments should be dis missed at the request of the prose cutting attorney. even before or after service, would it change the view of the people one whit? That phase of the matter is entirely in the hands of MT. R. FRoth.

ment today said Although Il 4
generally considered tnat attacks on
fortified positions must be made with
forces four times superior to the de-
Tenders. the Germans are assaulting
Verdun with really less than half the
numbers OF the French army, which
has 100000 there. This is half the
entire force that France has at It's
disposal for active fighting. The sec.
ond German attack on verdun was
based on the crushing effect OF the
heavy artillery, The French are uns
able TO compete with the German ar
tillery and ammunition. The enor-
nous French losses are due partly to
the effect OF the artillery and partly
to the tenaclty OF the French who re-
fuse to abandon the trenches.

gained against armies numerically su-
perior. He said the Austrians had
