COURT TERM IS CALLED FOR ON
 SEPTEMBER 17
Many Criminal and Civil Cases Will Be Brought For Trial at the
 Coming Term

Judge Robert w. Jennings this morning issued an order calling a term of court to convene in Juneau on September 17th. There are many criminal and civil cases which will come before the court at that time.
 Among the criminal cases already on the docket to be placed before the grand jury which will assemble at that time will be that of Mike Jackson, charged with larceny; Jas. Calvin, murder in the first degree; Jimmie Hanson and Mrs. Jimmie Han son, charged jointly with assault with a dangerous weapon; P. Brown assault with dangerous weapon; !; Wm. J. Johnson, liquor to Indians; 1; Billy Johnson, rape, Alfonso Jiver, liquor to Indians; Michael Sheehan and J. H. Hewitt, robbery; Frank Estrada, liquor to Indians, and F. Harris, perjury.
 The number of prosoners charged with having furnished whiskey to Indians this term of court has been greatly reduced. This is attributed to the fact that in nearly all cases where it is first offense the of fender is being tried under the Ter ritorial law before the U. s. Com missioners and sentenced. The cases which come before the court are all old offenders, who, if proven guilty, most generally secure a penitentiary sentence.

TWENTY KNOT STEAMERS CAN
 ESCAPE SUBS
Danger From the U-Boats LeSsened if Vessels Attacked Can Attain
 a High Speed
CHARTS SHOW RESULTS

NEW YORK, August ?. Danger
 rom submarines virtually is non-ex- stent, if the vessels can attain a speed of 20 knots an hour, according to charts displayed at shipbuilding conference here under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York.
 The figures were shown to lend emphasis to a demand that the ship construction controversy be settled immediately and the vessels, built either of steel or wood, be so con structed that they can make at least '6 knots an hour. The chart showed hat 100 per cent of vessels with , speed of five knots or less, which have been attacked by submarines have been sunk. The percentage of losses decreases steadily as the speed If the ships increases. At 16 knots m hour the percentage sunk has been about 25.
 "If the present rate of sinking is maintained without the full force of )ur industrial efforts there can be )nly one conclusion, and that Is that we shall lose the war" E. H. Outer bridge, president of the Chamber of Commerce. declared in outlining teh seriousness of the submarine cam paign.
 The conference was not concerned he said, as to whether ships were built of wood or steel. but its chief concern was to speed up building to care for the needs of the nations France.

DO Your Shopping
Early Applies to
The Auto Business

THAT the course of wisdom Is to
do your shopping early applies to the
automobile business this year as
strongly as to Christmas buying nor
mally," said Charles R. Hannah, jr.,
of the Western Motor Car company,
Chalmers distributors, yesterday. "Al-
though we are in better position
probably than the majority of the
dealers in this section to make deliv-
cries. yet the situation which faces
us is, of course, serious.
Following the tremendous bust
ness caused by the combination of
beautiful weather and the annual auto
show, Mr.. Abbott and Mr.. johnson
of our firm found 1t necessary to go
to Detroit to investigate the freight
car situation. Reports from Detroit
are that it is indeed serious and that
shipping in all sections is really more
serious than the ordinary western
buyer realizes. We are we'll stocked
with cars at the present time and, al
though we expect to use every ia
cility at our disposal to keep cars
ahead of the demand, yet the unprece-
dented conditions of this year would

he wants to be real sure to have a

Maxwell to Have Big
Advertising Campaign

Definite advice has just reached
here that the Maxwell Motor COM
pany is preparing an advertising
schedule that will probably outstrip
anything ever done by any automo-
bile manufacturer.
Heretofore automobiles have been
regarded as seasonable commodities
and most of the advertising and sell
ing was done in the spring and early
summer. Within late years, however,
motor cars have ceased to be luxuries
or even pleasure vehicles, More and
more they are becoming business,
commercial and social necessities.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that
Walter, E. Flanders, president of the
Maxwell Motor company, should
shape his advertising plans accord
ingly. When. interviewed on the sub
ject Mr.. Flanders stated. I'VE have
selected about 1000 newspapers all
over the United States which COM
bined have more than 100000 circu-
lation. In these papers we will adj
vertise Maxwell cars every week

thirty-six inch display. This means
that in the course Of the year we will
purchase almost 100000 inches OF
newspaper space. We will adopt a
uniform size and layout and will en-
plain briefly each week one important
reason why the Maxwell is entitled to
the consideration of prospective pur-
chasers.
81 believe that consistency and con-
tinuity are absolutely indispensable to
the success OF an advertising cam
paign. By using such great amount
Of newspaper space in the manner |
have outlined, we not only minimize
the natural sales resistance but we at
tract and retail. the very highest class
of retail automobile dealers. And
these are essential to our permanent
structure OF success"

pioneers in the automobile business.

Contending that the used car bust
ness is not detriment to the auto.

hand, necessary adjunct, the Muir.
phy-O'Brien Auto company have in.
augurated q very comprehensive plan
for handling used cars which seems
10 be meeting with favor among mo.
florists.
The plan in substance treats the
used car business on a very similar
basis to the selling of new cars. The
principle behind the scheme is to
treat buyers of used cars with the
same consideration as the buyer of a
new car.
In order that complete satisfaction
on the part of the buyer may be at

lowed to buyers, with a proviso that
the car may be returned and the
money will be refunded at the expira-

As a further inducement and guar
sntee Of good faith the Murphy

each buyer a tthirty-day mechanical
guarantee.
This plan gives promise Of being

!. King PRAISES THE
BUILDERS OF PARTS
Head of King Motor Car Com
pany Says They Contributed
To It's Success.
CAR OF UNUSUAL POWER

In statement issued to the parts
manufacturers who furnish some Of
the units entering into the construc-
ton Of the eight-cylinder King, Arte-
mas Ward, jr, president of the King
Motor Car company, Detroit, paid a
tribute to the organizations who
helped to contribute to the wonderful
success Of this company Mr.. Wards
statement in part was as follows:
The company begins the new year
stronger and better organized than
ever before, with prestige built upon
past performances, not only OF its
Ear, but its policies, which have shown
TO the public good product backed
by fair dealing and liberal treatment.
THE performances and wearing
qualities OF eight-cylinder motors
have in the past proven the reliability
OF this type of motor so thoroughly
that it is unnecessary to enter into
detailed discussion OF its merits, which
are now we'll known to the public.
The last year has won many triumphs
for the King stock car, both in en-
durance tests and hill climbing.
THE credit OF these successes and
tests Of the King and the good quail
ity of our mechanical construction is
due to a great extent to the loyal
support of our parts manufacturers,
who working in union with the King
factory force, have produced car of
unusal power and sturdiness. 1t is
this unity Of purpose and coop
Grafton which permits us to offer to
the public for 1917 car which for
moderate price compares favorably in
performance and equipment with the
most expensive cars manufactured"

CARS WITH ROBIN
Buyers of Autos Insistent that
Machines Be Delivered
Eary This Spring.
MANY DRIVING OVERLAND

Stories about the first robin arc
coming in with considerable regular.
ity, and as they do motor car manu-.
facturers are receiving demands that
grow more insistent every day for
delivery Of cars, yet the freight car
situation grows worse. The Packard
Motor Car company realized that il
purchasers Of new cars were to have
them when they want them, other
means OF delivery than the railroads
must be discovered. Therefore, a
large number of cars have been driven
to various points. One group OF
nineteen cars was delivered to the
Packard branch in Pittsburgh. The
largest train, consisting of forty-three
cars, was sent overland from Detroit
to Cleveland.
"a road is as good as its worst IF
teen miles," That Is what the Pack
ard men who drove the Twin Skies
from Detroit to Pittsburgh think.
After going through the VIGOROUSLY
bad stretch between Detroit and To-
ledo and finding the splendid con-
crete, brick and macadan roadways
connecting Toledo and Cleveland,
they would have voted favorably upon
fine space in heaven to be reserved
for the people Of the great common
wealth OF Ohio.
But they :, ould have worked the
recall on any such resolution within
an hour after they passed Youngs-
town. The road became channel of
rich, yellow, clay soup. In one
stretch there was about Eve miles of
mud. 1t took them hours to work
through 1t,
Pittsburgh finally was reached in
sixty-hve hours. All through the ar
duous journey one woman, Mrs.

Precision in manufacture is an ele-

suggested by the statement that they

than half a thousandth OF an inch.
