BAlLA|NE LOSES
 IN UPPER COURT:;
 MUST SHOW LOSS

SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-The circuit court of appeals has reversed the decision of the district court of Alaska by which John E. Ballaine was given a judgment of $30,000 against w. J. Roland, W. A. Stewart and F. C. Jemmet for the alleged malicious prosecution of title suit over land comprising the townsi:e of Seward.
 The circuit court holds that Bal laine's testimony to the effect that the property declined in value fifty percent as result of the title suit brought against him in the name of the Alaska Northern railroad was speculative and should not have been made the basis for the judg- ment rendered by the lower court.
 The decision holds that Ballaine must establish beyond a doubt the actual damage sustained by him be- fore he can collect on the judgment.

LABOR MEMBER URGES
 ELIMINATION OF TIPS

LONDON.-John Hodge, Labor member of parliament, has declared himself as opposed to tipping and says British workmen would like to see an end made of the custom. But the onus, he adds, is on the en- ployer, not the employe. To-day, with the readjustment of wages and all workers in receipt of a living wage, there is no excuse for tipping at all,' said MT. Hodge. Probably the greatest move forward would be for the government to make tipping illegal, punishing both the tipper and the receiver.
