NIX ON NEAR BEER FOR
 MEN ON BIG BARGE

The crew Of the Alaska Barge compauy's barge Big Bonanza have climbed en masse aboard the water wagon. The members of the crew are steady, industrious mariners. They could not be described as drinking men," but most of them liked an occasional glass of beer. This week they have been strOlIing about the Seattle streets with five months pay in their pockets and not a drop Of beer in sight.
 Last August the mariners signed on the Big Bonauza for the yoy- age Co and from Kogg.ung, Boring Sea. The barge was cuartered by Libby, McNgu & Libby to carry lum' Der and other structural material to Koggiung Tor the rebuilding of a cauuery there. The barge was lowed to K-ggiung in August. Late in the sumMer the Puget sound Tug Boat Company's tug GOlinh steamed 10 that place and lowed the Big Bonanza to Dutch Harbor There the barge lay until the middle of December, whom the Golab went north 70 bring her back to the sound.
 In the meantime members of the crew lived Q white ribbon life. But they had a swell cook aboard. In the months that they Icy idle in Dutch Harbor, the a..--.s de velOped a ucemeDd24s capacity for food.

the following regarding pr. Gabie's recent visit to the interior town:
 Is Alex Gagoff, convicted Of mur- der and sentenced to hang on the 10th of next month, sane or other wise?
 Gagolf is an inmate of the jail at this place but away out in damp and juicy Vancouver he has friends who are at work, literally speaking to save his neck. Those friends have raised a sum of money and have employed an attorney who several weeks ago. asked for and was supplied with a duly certified account of the trial of Gagoff to- gether with copies of all the evil dence thereat adduced. On these documents the Vancouver attorney lodged a motion with the minister of justice at Ottawa to have Ga goff's sentence commuted to life imprisonment on the grounds of insanity, the claim being that no man ill his right mind would com nit the crimes of which he was convicted, killing in cold blood four inorfeusivc and unarmed men.
 The authorities at Ottawa, on the representation made by the Russians Of vancouver, through their attorney, instructed that medi- cal opinion on Gagoff's condition, in addition to that of pr. Clarke of this place who has had the man under observation ever since the crimes were committed, be procured anj for that purpose Dr. W. G. Gable Of Skagway was here this week returning home Thursday morning. The fate of GagOff will depend wholly on the report sub mitted by Drs. Clarke and Gable. Should thly decide that he is sane now mld was sane at the time Of his wholesale crime, the hanging will, tu all likelihood, come off on schedule time, March 10. Should the professional gentlemen find that he is not and was not sane at the time of the crime, his sen tenco will likely be cOmmuted to life Imprisonment.

line A. Kings Suit Against

BY a decision Of the Court Of Appeals
handed down today by Justice Van
Orsdel. Mrs. Madeline A. King, widow
Of John L. King. lost a verdict for $10.-
900 rendered In her favor in the Dis
trict Supreme Court against the Capital
Traction Company for the alleged neg
ligent killing of her husband.

ulation of the interstate commerce

tied the speed of cars at street cross
ings to six miles an hour.

ed by Attorney Frank J. Hogan and the

OF SUIT FOR INJUNCTION
Court Of Appeals sustains Decision
Of D. c. Supreme Court in
Wells VS.. Roper Case.

The decision Of the District Supreme
Court that the United States can be
sued for breach Of contract only in the
Court Of Claims was sustained today
by the District Court Of Appeals In an
opinion by Chief Justice Shepard. The
appellate court affirmed the dismissal
Of a suit for injunction brought by
Josephus Wells against Daniel C.
Roper. first assistant postmaster gen.
eral.
The plaintiff had contract to fur
nish automobiles for the collection of
mails. Congress made an appropria-
ton for experimental service in Wash
ington. which confiicted with the con-
tract Of Wells, and Mr.: Roper gave
notice of his intention to discontinue
the service being furnished by Wells.
The court finds he had right to do
SO under the contract and that 1t was
immaterial II he did accompany the
notification with the statement that the
contract would be cancelled because
the equipment was the sole service
to be furnished by Wells.

$4,000 HEART EASE
IS LOST ON APPEAL
Justice Robb Reverses Lower
Court in McNabb- Kinney
Breach of Promise Suit.

The District Court of Appeals in an
opinion by Mr. Justice Robb. today re-
versed judgment for $4,000 damages
awarded by a jury in the District su-
preme Court last April to Mrs. Ida NJ
McNabb. thirty-seven years old,
widow of Milwaukee. Wis. against
John S. Kinney, seventy-seven years
old, reputed a millionaire mine owner
of Palatka. Mich. The suit was for
$500, 900 damages for the failure OF the
millionaire to carry out contract to
marry.
The appellate court holds that re-
covery could only. be on the written
contract, if at all, and, that item oi 'nt
declaration having been abandoned AZ
the trial table, the trial judge snoui9
have granted a prayer ,or a Gts1otbV thot hV
submitting other prayers, inconsisteIe
with the one to instruct. the deieho-
ant lost no rights.
Case Is Remanded.
The case is remanded for further
proceedings not inconsistent with the
opinion of the court. A new trial may
be allowed, it is said, although the
opinion of the appellate court does not
make that direction specifically.
Justice Robb. in the course Of his opin-
ion, says: I'm the present case there
was no contract Of marriage until the
contract under seal was executed Es-
erythine preceding it was merely tenta-
tive and preliminary. That contract crys-
tallized the previous negotiations between
the parties Counsel for the plaintln
answer that, conceding all this. still they
may rely upon repeated promises MADE
by and between the defendant and plain
tifY a fter the execution of the agreement,
but they fail to point to any evidence
tending to show that the written instru-
ment ever was abandoned or modif1ed.
Founded in Reason and Justice.
"The rule invoked here is not an
arbitrary rule, but. on the contrary.
one founded in reason and justice. II
parties enter into a contract OF the
dignity and solemnity of the one here
involved, the party seeking damages
for the breach of that contract should
declare upon it. The plaintiff in the
present case by deliberately abandon
ing the second count in her declara-
tion relied upon the count which sets
showed the existence of a different con-
tract, one that had superseded the
former and which would not support
the declaration as it stood"
The court also overruled the claim
that the defendant by his inconsistent
the question.

tanned specially to argue the appeal
for Mr.. Kinney in connection with At
