NEWSPAPER CAN PUBLISH OR NOT
 AS IT PLEASES

CHICAGO, May r. The right of a newspaper to publish what It con siders news and to disregard what ever it believes does not come within hat category was upheld today m an opinion of the appellate court, ,usposlng of Sl00,0OO damage suit brought by William Reeda, an attor- ney, against the Chicago Tribune Company.
 Mr. keeda, candidate for Super or Court judge in the November .9l7 election on an independent ticket, charged the Tribune with publishing a fac simile of portion of specimen ballot, giving names Jf the Democratic, Republican and Socialist candidates for the judge ship but emitting the names of the independent candidates. 1t was con tended by Mir. Reeda that the omis- .ion was "willful and malicious and lone with ntent to injure his can didacy."
 "The defendant owed no duty to publish anything which, for any req son, it did not see fit to publish" the opinion read.
 "The defendant is the sole judge of the value of news as such. A newspaper must remain free to pub fish such matter as it regards as possessing news value and to refrain rom publishing such matter as 1t may determine does not possess news value.

ALASKA DEVELOPMENT
 BOARD Is EXPLAINED

]. l.. McPherSon, manager of the Alaska Bureau Seattle Chamber ot Commerce, writes that there IS some confusion in Alaska as to the purport of the development board measure, introduced by Hon Charles F. Curry chairman ot the house committHc on territories. He says:
 This measure is to be the basis of an exhaustive study by the com mittee of the house and senate m order to formulate a constructive policy for the utilization of the nat ural resources in Alaska, that will re- sult in building local industries and an increasing permanent population. and provide for the efficient admin iStration of such policy by a board resident in Alaska.
 'It is true that this will provide for another bureau, but it will eli minate, as far aS Alaska is concern ed, some eight or ten bureaus and commissions now directed from Wash ington, and will center the responsi- bility of these in one bureau that will be charged with one duty only the prosperous growth of Alaska.
 "I thoroughly agree with you and Alaska should have home rule, and there is no question that We will get home rule as soon as we can show an increasing stable population.
 "Even when Alaska becomes state the interest vested in the proposal de- velopment board, excepting the admin istration of the fisheries, will not be transferred to the people, of Alaska. If it was possible at this time or in the near future to get Congress to vest the administration of the fish cries with the people of Alaska. l would not favor this function being vested, even temporarily, with the development board. 1 don't believe that it will be possible to secure the transfer of the fisheries to the people of Alaska until there is an increasing stable population. With this eXcep- ton the functions of this board will always be adminiStrated by the fed eral government as there have been in every public land state. Our only alternative is to secure means whereby they may be administered efficiently in Alaska by men charg- ed with this one responsibility rather than by officials and clerks at Wash ington having little interest in furth- erinp Alaska's welfare.
 'T fully realize the hard task we have ahead of us in securing a broad constructive policy and efficient ad- ministration, because of the disin- clination of the federal bureaus to be deprived of any of their functions.
 'T, however, believe that if we all work constructively to the one end of a national policy that will make for a prosperous Alaska, we will ul- timately succeed"

FEW CAUSE DELAY
IN CENSUS HERE
Unlikely That All "Loose
Ends" Will Be Picked Up
This Week.

Picking up and cleaning up of
loose ends in the less than $50 census
districts not completed in the Dis
trict of Columbia will constitute more
than a weeks work beginning to-
day." Robert E. Mattingly, census SUI
pervisor for the District, said today.
Mr.. Mattingly declared there is no
the District will be completed by the
end of the current week, notwith-
standing that there are about 200 CEN
sus districts completed. The census
districts which are not yet finished
are the ones in which trouble has
since the beginning of census taking
January 2. Considerable work will be
required before they are fully cleaned
up. In an effort to facilitate the work
of enumeration here more than half
of the enumerators are working at
night, believing they will find more
people at their homes at night than
during the day.
Majority Enumerated.
The great majority of persons in the
District have been enumerated. Mr.. Mat
tincly said, but final completion of the
work here is delayed, awaiting enum-
Grafton of the relatively few persons who
have not been seen or who do not want
to be seen by the enumerators. Mr.. Mat
tingly intimated strongly today that
there are many persons who do not want
to be counted here. as they appear to
make consistent efforts to be out of the
house when the enumerators call.
These persons are the ones who are
holding up the census here and may
| hold it up for week or ten days. The
! supervisor believes that all the recall
citrant districts cannot be finally
| cleaned up within a few days, but that
| in all probability the work will not be
finished until the end Of February.
There are some persons employed in the
government departments. he said. who
| do not want to be enumerated in Wash
ington. and take care that they are not
at home when the enumerator calls.

Beats Gasoline at
15Cents aGauon
New Invention Makes Fords Run
"a Miles on Gallon of Gasoline
and Start Easy in Coolest
Weather. Other Cars
Show Proportionate


A new carburetor which cuts
down gasoline consumption Of any
motor, including the Ford, and re-
duces gasoline bills from one-third
to one-half is the proud achieve
ment of the Air Friction Carbu-
rotor Company, 295 Madison Street,
Dayton. Ohio. This remarkable in
vention not only increases the
power of all motors from 80 to so
per cent, but enables every one
to run slow on high gear. 1t also
makes it easy to start Ford or
any other car in the coolest wealth
er without previously warming the
motor. With it you can use the
very cheapest grade of gasoline or
half gasoline and half kerosene
and still get more power and more
mileage than you now get from
the highest-test gasoline. Many
Ford owners say they now get as
high as As to so miles to a gollon
of gasoline. So sure are the man
ufacturers of the immense saw
ing their new carburetor will make
that they offer to send it on 80
days trial to every car owner.
AS it can be put on or taken off in
a few minutes by any one, all read
ers of The Star who want to try
it should send their name, address
and make of car to the manufac-
turers at once. They also want
