TUPPELA LOSES
 tN CH!CHAC0FF
 MINING ACTION
Court Decides Plaintiff Had Failed To Establish
 Interest in Claim
SUIT INVOLVED FORTUNE
Partnership in Million Taken From Over the Hill"
 Claim Sought

Judge Robert W. Jennings of the United States Districa Court today rendered his decision in the famous case brought by John Tuppela against the Chichagof Mining Company, in favor of the defendant company. The suit was for part interest in certain mining claims, one of which has pro- duced $966,0O0 In gold since 1917. The decision dismisses the plaintiffs com plaint
 Suit was brought in May by John Tuppela against the Chichagof Min ing Company, in which Tuppela claimed one-half interest in cer- tain mining claims in possession of the Chichagof Company. The only claim of any value was the lover The HIP claim, it was set forth. The plaintiff claimed a one-quarter inter- est in this claim as one of the orig. inal locators under a grubstake con tract between himself and William Hanlon, Charles Peterson and H. A. Bauer.
 Although the location notice was in the name of Bauer, Tuppela claimed that after the claim was To- cated, Bauer acquired Peterson's quarter interest thus giving him half interest, and that in 1912, Tup- pela and Hanlon advertised Bauer out, for failure to do his share of the assessment work, and that Tup- pela and Hanlon then became co owners, each owning one-half inter- est in this claim.
 The Chichagof company bought Hanlon out in 1913 and bought Bauer out in 1915. In 1914, Tuppela was adjudged insane and committed to the asylum at Morningslde where he remained until December, 1917. While Tuppela was in the asylum. w. P. Mills of Sitka was appointed guardian, and in 1915. Mills sold Tuppelas alleged interest in several claims, including that in the "Over The Hill' claim
 The testimony showed that the suit was filed F months after Tup- pelas release from Morningside. Tup- pela alleged that the guardian sale was void on account of certain irreg- ularities and errors made in the Probate proceedings. and alleged fraud and collision between Mills and the Chichagof Company.
 In his decision this morning. the Court held that the plaintiff had not established any interest in the claim, and also held that the evidence did not establish any grubstake contract between Bauer and Tuppela. The Court stated that 1t was un- necessary to pass upon the validity of the guardian sale for the reason that if Tuppela had no interest in the claim in the beginning, it would not matter if the sale were void. Evidence at the trial showed that the Chichagof Mining Company had taken $966,000 In gold from the lover The Hill" claim since 1917. The attorneys for the plaintiff were John H. Cobb and John R. Vim, and for the defendant com pany. H. L. Faulkner of Juneau and o. G. Ellis of Tacoma.

 PUGNANT TO VERSAILLES TREATY

 The note said further that the United States could not be party to the disposition of Plume as agreed upon by the allied premiers confer ence in London last week, without full consideration by the United States, and not America.

 The allied reply to the German note called the proposal an extra ordinary alternative," and points out that it would be incompatible with the peace treaty to ask the allies not to intervene in the trial of the Ger mans at Leipsic, in order to place the responsibility for their trial on the German government "sssS- sa
 Germany wants to try her leaders on her own soil, without interfer. ence of the allies.
 There has been considerable pub lished in the German press concern ing the list of Germans which the allies would extradite for trial.
