Gardner Inspector Young testified that he had stopped Coughlin Saturday night, and that the machine which he was operating had plain glass lenses in the lamps. Coughlin told the court lha: he had supposed that he was complying with the Connecticut laws, and thaf his father. who was in the car with him, was equally surprised to be held up by the police. Coughlin testified that he ha ] had the lights on his car focuse1 ny the authorities of Massachusetts so IS 70 comply with the regulations of that state. He stated through his attorney that his father recently served upon an A. L. A. commission that made a study of head lights in Massachusetts, and that the Massachusetts laws had been based upon that commissions report. Because of the fact that the Coughlins had taken every precaution that they thought necessary to have their lights conform to state reg ulations, Judge Geissler suggested to the prosecuting attorney, Ernest c.

GOLD BAY HAS TAKEN LEAD IN
 CLAIMS FILED
Other Districts Show Falling Off But Big Number of Ap- plications From That Field Keep Filings at Normal

While stalking of oil claims is con tinuing in several of the fields into which prospectors have worked their way, in only one field has there been anything like the activity during the past month that characterized the movement during the summer sea- son. The rush of Cold bay and other Peninsula districts, according to a statement made by Register Frank A. Boyle of the U. s. land office at Juneau, has not slackened but there has been a substantial decrease in the number of applicants filed from other fields.
 From the Cold Bay field alone between September 12 and October 21, a total of 45 applications cov- ering 115,0O2 acres were filed for oil leasing and prospecting permits. Only the big influx of applications from this district kept the movement as a whole up to normal, explained MT. Boyle The month previous ap- proximately 13OO0O acres were cov- cred in the 73 applications made for permits.
 During the period between the above dates, 56 applications were received at this office covering an acreage of 13S,240," says the state ment "This brings the total num- Der of acres in all districts under this office well above the half mil lion mark since the new oil leasing law became effe ective last February. Last months fling includes: Cold bay, 45 applications; 115,200 acres; Iliamna. six for 15,360 acres; Ka- talla, two for 1,940 acres; Yakataga, Wasilla and Anchorage one each for 2,560 acres, making a total for the month of 13S,240 acres.
