ARE FINED FUR VIOLATIONS OF
 FISHING LAWS

Two cases against the Valdez Pack ing Company for alleged violations Of the fishing laws came up before Com missioner Medley this morning. Each case also involved an individual de- fendant. F.. F. Rtchie of Valdez ap- peared for the defendants and de- murred to the jurisdiction of the court on several grounds. The de- murrer was overruled by the court The defendants refused to plead and the court took evidence and found all the defendants guilty. A fine of $500 was entered against the company In each case and sl00 against each in dividual defendant. w H. Brennan and John Orloff.
 The defendants will appeal to the district court and obtain decision on the question of jurisdiction of com missioners' courts to try violations Of the fishing laws. In the cases tried today the attorney for the defense raised five points on the question Of jurisdiction. The two most strongly insisted on are the fact that the act itself expressly gives jurisdiction to the diskect court of Alaska and the United States courts of Washington, Oregon and California. and mentions no others. The government claims that the offense is misdemeanor and therefore within the Jurisdiction of justice of the peace. But the defense in the present cases raises the fur ther point that as the fishing laws provide that an infraCtion may be pun ished by imprisonment at hard labor, it is a felony, and therefore must be prosecuted by indictment in the dis trict court
 Three other objections to the juris- diCtion of the commissioner were raised by the defense, and the whole matter goes to the district court for determination, and very likely to the circuit court of appeals

QUILTING is EVER POPULAR
Style of Trimming Is Smart and Serves
in Various Capacities to Add
Beauty to Garments.

No manner Of trimming is smarter
than quilting this season, and beautiful
quilting is quite as difficult to do as
beautiful embroidery. The stitches
must be tiny and perfectly even, and
the lines Of the pattern must be per-
fectly spaced, so that the design will
show up effectively.
A very handsome frock of midnight
blue taffeta, seen the other day, had
tunic bordered with inches of quilt
ing, and the pattern was repeated on
the sleeves and on panels at back and
front of the bodice.
To make quilting Of this sort the ma
terial is underlafd with very thin sheet
wadding, and the quilting stitches are
set through the outer material and
wadding. Then the quilted portion is
faced with thin, silk or with the mate
rial of the frock, if it is not too heavy.
Quilted angora is especially smart just
now. Vests of quilted angora show in
the open fronts of new cape coats, and
there are Yaistcoats Of quilted angora
for wear with street suits.
Such a waistcoat accompanies a
taupe eheviot suit, the waistcoat being
| in lighter taupe shade, and the quilting
is done with still lighter taupe silk
A blue cloth cape is lined with scarlet
satin and has a blue angora vestee
quilted elaborately with red silk.

that done in a heavy silk twist, so

largely of American design, and 1t may
well be watched with interest.

SHOPPING BAGS AND BASKETS
Spacious Carry-AIIs Serve for Various
Purposes, but Not Satisfactory
for Going to Market.

Now that most of US carry more
packages than we ever did before, we
are learning to use bags for shopping.
OF course, in some places there are
city ordinances against carrying knit
ting bags into the shops. A good deal
of shoplifting has been carried on un-
der the protection of these capacious
carry-alls. But, nevertheless, we find
the big knitting bags a great conven-
ience for the slowing of small parcels.
When we go marketing most of us pre-
fer basket, and the shops show stout
baskets, with handles by means of
which they may be hung over the arm !;
and these are better for carrying spin
ach and peaches in them than is a knit
ting bag. They come in all sorts of
prices. Of course, you can get bas-
ket of suitable size for going market
ing for S., but you can also get one for
81 or so. 1t pays to get one that is
stout and serviceable, with jointed han
dies, if possible-that is, handles that
swing back and forth.

White Gloves Taboo.

It is no longer smart in the bellig-
erent countries to wear white gloves.
They are taboo in England and France,
and American women are beginning to
see the wisdom and economy of this
fashion. Tan, brown and all shades
of beige are considered the proper
thing. Even white wash gloves are not
considered as fashionable as the 9TH
ers. Economy is creating style of
its own in every land. BY common
consent evening gloves have practical
ly disappeared in the belligerent coun-
tries. France has always hated them.
England can't afford them and soon
America will abandon them. 1t may
be that long, wrinkled sleeves will
take their place entirely.
