'' GUILTY IS
 VERDICT IN
 FOUR CASES

Putting their entire evidence in the hands of the government and entering absolutely no plea of de- fense, four of the bootlegging cas. es were tried in the court or U. s. Commissioner RasmuSon this morning and q verdict of guilty" was pronounced for each individual Up to the time of going to press no sentences had been imposed by the court.
 Those found guilty of bootlegging were Esse Miller, Billy" Morris, Olive Hazel Crosby, and Nora Moore Chief witness for the prosecution were Mrs. Athelian Atty, Mrs. l.. W, Dobyns, and L. F. Greene. Cant. Hartman, of the tug Arctic, left sworn statement with the prosecution that he had purchased booze" from certain of the women.
 The gist of the evidence pre- sented was practically the same in each case, that on the late evening of Nov. 6 or early morning of Nov. 2 whiskey and beer had been purchased by Greene and Har- riman from certain women of the restricted district.
 On the witness stand Mr. Greene stated that he purchased round of drinks for the house, but could net say what they were. H e said he drank nothing himself, but smoked Q cigar, and that Capt Hartman drank 8 glass of water What the others drank he could not definitely say.
 The cases of Birdie" Ash and L. F. Greene, charged with boot logging, are being tried in the court house this afternoon, and at a late hour the Alaskan could not learn what verdicts, if any, had been reached.
 The sTme jury served on all the cases for the morning and consist ed of Messrs Ganty, Hahn, Blanch- ard, Shaw, Gault, Gutfeldt Con- wax, Ask, selmer, Kennedy, Rey- noldson and Weir.

OUR LIBERTY BELL.
A Victim of Old Age Disease and lts
 Triple iGeltings.

A Victim of Old Age Disease and lts
 Triple iietngs.
 Metals. just like people, are subject to the wearing effects ot time. And they also have diseases that destroy their vitality. A combination of both is responsible for the great crack in the famous Liberty bell. which recent ly has shown tendency to spread.
 The bell was made in England by one Thomas A. Lester and shipped to Philadelphia in lT52. When tested with q hammer it cracked ut the first stroke. The metal Was re. ast and 10 per cent of copper added. This addi- ton did not have good rTc tS, S .cming to spoil the ucll'S tone. So it was re- melted second time and tin put in with the copper to restore the sound.
 Although details are somewhat hazy, 1t Is certain that facilities in the colo nies for handling such Il quantity of metal were not very good. The bell weighs about 2,COO pounds, and it Is estimated that twenty to twenty-five of the largest crucibles in America were required for the purpose.
 At all events. the bell was finally cast a third time and accepted. But 1t did not cool evenly and was immediately subject to shrinkage strain. These strains had about the same effect as If a piece of cloth were gripped In a per sons two hands and torn down the middle. This pressure ultimately caused the big crack which Is such a familiar characteristic of the bell and which now promises to become even larger.
 Another point against the bell was the triple meltings. Metal loses some thing of its vitality every time that 1t goes through the crucible. Nothing that undergoes the making over" process is quite as good as before, and the Liberty tell lad been made and re- made three times before it pealed forth the message of freedom Los Angeles Times.

THE PRESIDENTS MAIL.
It Takes a Corps of Trained cIerks 10
 Handle the Letters.

Handle the Letters.
 President Wilson's mail bag is the largest in the world. Thousands of let ters arrive daily, and every one of any importance must have the individual at tention of America's first citizen. Of course the president Is not able to read all his correspondence himself This difficulty is overcome by carefully de- velOped system by which the contents of the While House mail bag of any importance are laid before Mir. Wilson each day.
 The work of selection falls upon a corps of confidential clerks, who open the letters and give them q first read Ing; then they are carefully sorted. Many of them arc simply rccommenda- tlOns for office. These, after courteous acknowledgement, are referred to the proper departments and placed on file until the matter can be taken up for consideration.
 Hundreds of the mlssiycs are purely formal or coItU.a impossible requests. These arc lmE2iju.e,y answered by the staff and signed by oEc of the presi- dents assistant secretaries.
 Such communications as the president ought to scc nre clearly briefed-that is, slip Is pinned at the top of each letter. and on lhiS Is typewriter synopsis oE it's cOutruts, telling who the writer is u.l what Ae has to present. Frequently .Lc president Is sufficiently interested hy ,hc Lief 10 cause him to read the whole lr.,cr Sometimes the communication Is referred 10 a cabinet officer. fin which case the slip Is retain ed at the White House ind filed.
