not touch Alaskan coal fields, does it |?
 Mir. SULZER-That is just what l wanted to talk about. I want some action taken so it would cover those coal fields and give us some liberal treatment, so we could bring about adequate production of coal, not only for the Navy but for the Pacific coast
 Senator PHELAN - Why, Senator Walsh, was not Alaska included?
 Senator WALSH-We thought we had disposed of Alaska coal lands. We passed an act authorizing leasing of coal lands in Alaska, but that act was applicable to Alaska only.
 Senator PHELAN-You say that act was passed?
 Senator WALSH-Yes; that is a law now.
 Senator PHELAN - Then what is the complaint - that it is not ade- quate?
 Senator WALSH-Ihe complaint IS that the area is not large enough. That act, in terms, authorized leases of two sections, 1,2S0 acres, and the claim is, and MT. Peabody apparently is of that opinion, that is not large enough; that in order to induce the development a larger area should be given to the lessee.
 Mir. SULZER-Mr. Chairman and Senators of the committee, I thank you for your kind consideration.

CITATION TO HEIRS AND ALL INTERESTED PARTIES

In the Probate Court for the Kenai Precinct, Third Division, Territory of Alaska.

Continued from page one)

Dr. MANNING - There is no ques- tion about the MatanuSka and some of the Boring River. Matanuska coal com pares favorably to the New River and Pocahontas coal. Tests were made by a United States ship which indicated that the steaming quality of the Ma tanuska coal was as good as the Poca- hontas and New River coal.
 Senator SHAFROTH-But was the output of that mine that started and could not produce coal for the railroad in sufficient quantity, do you know?
 Dr. MANNING-I have not the eX- act figures, but not very large. Mar tin ran into a fault. A railroad is built to this mine; do not know eX- actly the length of the spur, but that is the only source at the present time the railroad can get it's fuel from with out shipping it in. The railroad in the Chickaloon district this unit 12, which the Alaska Commission proposes to develop, will be built there in the course of the next 60 days, so they will be able to furnish coal from that mine, and that is the mine from which 1000 tons of coal was taken by the Bureau of Mines for the Navy Depart ment some few years ago. It is a very high quality of coal.
 Senator PHELAN-IS it under pri- vate ownership?
 Dr, MANNING-No; it belongs to the Government
 Senator SHAFROTH - Did the Navy use it?
 Dr. MANNING-They used it on some of their trial trips.
 Senator SHAFROTH - But no quantity was shipped down to them?
 Dr. MANNING-No; as a matter of fact they have abandoned the use or, rather, are diScouraging the use of coal and building their battleshipS now all oil burning.
 Senator SHAFROTH - Yes; l see. You do not know the quantity that was produced there?
 Dr. MANNING-AbOut 1000 tons
 Senator SHAFROTH-WaS it stor- ed?
 pr. MANNING-No; it was used, it was shipped down to Anchorage and put on board vessels.
 Senator SHAFROTH-How far is that from the railroad now?
 Dr. MANNING-I should say prob ably 20 or 30 miles.
 Senator SHAFROTH - Can you point out here on the map where that coal is located?
 Dr. MANNING-Yes, sir; it is here (indicating on map).
 Senator SHAFROTH-How far is the railroad built?
 Dr. MANNING-I have not the ex- act figures, but I understand probably within about 20 miles. Here is a coal field right there called the Chickaloon district. Here would be the main line of road up to Fairbanks. To develop

that coal field spur goes from here up to. there.
 Senator SHAFROTH-And has been built?
 Dr. MA(NNING-No; they are now building it. Within 60 days it will be built on the Chickaloon line.
 Senator HUSTING-How far has the railroad been completed north?
 Dr. MANNING-They are working now. The Secretary of the Interior has now under consideration the pur- chase of railroad already built from near the Nenana coal fields to Fair banks. This Nenana coal field is lig- nite coal; not as good as we get down farther.
 senator HUSTING-What is this, bituminouS?
 Dr. MANNING - Yes, sir in the MatanuSka field.
 Senator SHAFROTH - Where are there any other coal fields here?
 Dr. MANNING - All this country; some on both sides of the river. There is some anthracite coal up north of ChickaloOn.
 Senator WALSH - The big field, Senator Shafroth, is down the coast some two or three hundred miles, southeast.
 Senator SHAFROTH-Is that right near the coast?
 Senator WALSH-Twenty-five or 30 miles from the coast.
 Senator SHoAFROTH - Is there contemplated to be a railroad con- structed there?
 Dr. MANNING - There is a line running into the Martin lease, and l am not quite sure where that is. That is not on this map. That is the mine that failed. The railroad hoped to get sufficient coal to operate the rail- road.
 Senator PHELAN-Where is that mine?
 Dr. MANNING-It is not on this map.
 Senator PHELAN-Is not that rail road designed primarily to bring coal out?
 Dr. MANNING - That railroad Is designed for the development of Alaska, but coal is one of the indus tries to be developed.
 Senator PHELAN-It does not look on this map as if there were any pro- ductive valleys along the line of this railroad.
 Senator WALSH-Susitna is good agricultural valley, but the grea; agri- cultural valley is Nenana here.
 Senator PHELAN-This comes up. from tidewater, then?
 Senator WALSH-That is good az ricultural land, this Susitna Valley.
 Senator PHELAN-This is really the terminus of the road.
 Senator WALSH-The present ter minus is Anchorage. but the all-year- round port is Seward. Anchorage is only a summer port.
 Senator SHAFROTH-This bill does

MACHIN|STS TO
PUSH DEFENSE:
NON-SUIT DENIED
Trial of Max Ans Go. VS.. Union
Will Be Resumed ON
Tuesday.

A motion for non-suit filed by
counsel for the Machinists' union in
the $1,000 action brought by the Max
Ans Machine Co. of Fairfield, was
denied yesterday afternoon by Judge
Bennett in the civil superior court.
Attorney Hugh J. Lavery filed the
motion on behalf of the union. He
asserted that the evidence introduced
by the plaintiff was not sufficient and
said nothing had been shown to
prove conspiracy. No direct con-
nection between the strikers and the
acts complained of had been brought
out.
In denying the motion Judge Ben
nett said evidence had been intro
duced to prove that the union had
been paying strike pickets and also
providing for strike benefits.
The defense then started it's case.
William Seemar, one of the. strikers
named as "a defendant, was the first
witness. He testified regarding the
meetings Ithe employees had with fac
tory officials. He told OF establish
ing the picket line after the strike
was declared. The pickets were
warned not to use threatening lam
guage and to keep their hands in
their pockets.
The trial will be resumed next
Tuesday morning.

TWO EXHIBITION HALLS
FOR ANNUAL AUTO SHOW

Such a demand for floor exhibition
space for the fifth annual automobile
show has come from manufacturers,
dealers, agents and exhibitors that
Manager Benjamin B. Steiber has
been obliged to get the Casino in
State street as we'll as the State Ar
mory in Main street to accommodate
all who wish to exhibit at this years
show. The floor space of the big
drill shed of the armory has prac-
tically all been taken, but there still
remain few spaces in the gun pits
and the balcony.
The Casino will be devoted to show
ing motor trucks, business cars, mo-
torcycles and accessories for business
cars. Pleasure cars and accessories
will be shown at the State Armory.
/ The show this year will start Mon
day evening, Feb. 10, and continue
every afternoon and evening until
Saturday night, Feb. "a.
That it will be bigger and better
than ever is not misusing the term as
will be seen by the fact that it has
been found necessary to get another
building besides the armory, to pro-
vide room for all exhibits. One ticket
will admit to both buildings and auto
mobile transportation from one
building to the other will probably
be provided by the management.
A feature of the show this year will
be the decorations. Both at the State
Armory and the Casino, Manager Stei-
Der promises the most elaborate and
costly trimmings ever seen In this
CITY at a public exposition The decor
ators have begun the work of meas
uring the armory and the Casino pre-
liminary to hanging the decorations.
Among the cars that will be seen at
this years show are many OF the
latest design never. shown before at
any show. In all 10000 feet of floor
space, will be utilized making the ex-
position the largest ever held in the
East. not excepting the Boston or
Providence shows.

UIRERNIANS PLAN. TO,
AID SURVIVORS OF THE
UPRISING IN DUBLIN

Faith and Fatherland" will be the
subject of a lecture to be given by
Rev. ]. T.. McDermott, o. M. l., at the
Park theatre, Sunday evening, jan
uary %, under the auspices OF II
vision No. 1, A. o. H., OF this CITY, the
proceeds to be used for relieving the
distress OF the widows and orphans
OF those who lost their lives in the up
rising in Dublin last Easter. This is
4 worthy charity, for regardless OF
how this uprising may be looked upon,
there is intense suffering among those
dependent upon the men who gave
their lives for what they believed to
be the cause of Irish freedom. Father
McDermott will be remembered as the
head of the mission band which gave
q mission at the Sacred Heart churcn
last october, and made profound
impression by his ability as preacher
and teacher Of the great truth OF re-
li9ion. He is brilliant speaker, an
ardent Irishman, and his lecture VIII
not only be instructive but entertain
ing as well. He will be accompanied
to this city by Rev. J.. M. OBrien, O.
M. T., also a. member of the Oblate
mission band.
In connection with the lecture there
will be a splendid concert with some
OF the best talent in the city taking
part Tickets for the lecture are now
for sale by members of the division,
and at one or two Of the prominent
stores in the city. There Is little doubt
of a large gathering as Father Nc
Dermott is particularly popular with
the pepole of the Sacred Heart parish
and many others will wish to hear
him. The object for which the enter
tainment is given is a very worthy
one, and assistance is urgently need
ed for the widows and orphans whose
support has been taken away.
