 BRITISH ISLES
CASSociated Press

LONDON. Sept. 25.-A new mile stone was established in aeroplane distance flights today when Captain Lauriat Fox, Italian aviator, made the first flight from Italy to England. He was accompanied by an observer and made the flight without stop.
 This is one of the longest con tinuous flights on record, and the achievement is all the more remark able when the topography of the country over which he flew is taken into consideration.
 Aviator Fox was obliged to cross the Alps in his flight, and both he and his observer suffered from cold in the high altitude The Italian aviator landed near London. His ar rival here was entirely unexpected.

SPECIAL JURY
 CALI, MAY NOT
 BE, NECESSARY

If none of the men who are on the present panel of the petit jury are excused, it will not be necessary to hold a special jury drawing. The present panel numbers twenty-five men, and, under the new jury law passed by the last Alaska legisla- ture, but twenty-four are necessary to constitute d panel And 1t IS thought those who are on the panel can arrange their affairs so that they can serve, consequently the putting of 300 names into the jury box by the clerk of court and jury commis- sioner and the drawing therefrom
 When the last session of court was held here in June Judge Charles E. Bunnell excused all of the members of the panel until October 15 with the exception of A. L. Wilbur, who was excused until October l. Will bur was retained in order that spe- cial yenire might be summoned and any civil case tried between October l and Is that might be agreed upon by the attorneys Under the new law, however, the regular panel of twenty-four must be exhausted before a special venire can be summoned if a criminal case is to be tried but a civil case may be tried if the at torneys in the case agree before hand that they will select their jury from special venire
 The members of the petit jury as it now stands are J. R. Andeson, J. H. Bender, c. A. Darr, c. R. David son, F w. Elliot, Austin Gibbs, Geo. A. Hunter, Hans Hess. Arthur c. Hill, Frank Hopkins, w.
