MAKES MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL IN CASE
 OF DAN MAC MILAN

In the United States District Court this forenoon, Hellenthal and Helen thal made a motion for new trial in the case of Dan MacMillian, as administrator, against the Alaska Jul neau Gold Mining Company. The jury recently awarded damages to the extent of $1056.90. The case grew out of a flood caused by the bursting of water main on the hillside and damage to the MacMil- Ian grocery store. The request for the new trial is based on the grounds that the City should also have remained as party to the suit and that the damages awarded was on retail value of goods. Judge Rob- crt w. Jennings took the authori ties submitted under advisement.

 The measure provides that if with in six months after the passage of the law, the President receives as surances that the task will be under taken by private enterprise. then the operation of the law shall be sus- pended
 Cable Companies in Opposition.
 "We have been trying to get this measure through for several years past" said Senator Jones, "and every time the bill comes up, the cable com panies talk about building another fine, but they never get started. In the meantime, the patrons of the present facilities are subjected to all sorts of inconveniences and de lays. It has been proven before the committee that in many instances the postoffice can deliver messages to Yokohama and Shanghai faster than the same messages can be sent by cable. This is not the fault of the system. The fact is there is rnore business than a single cable can handle"
 No hearings will be called for. The bill will be referred to a sub committee of the Senate commerce committee to make a report based on evidence presented at the last ses- sion.

House Secretary Fall says that it was presented to him personally by Delegate Sutherland No inti- nation is given as to the prob able time of the Secretary's visit.

FOUND GUILTY BUT CLEMENCY
 ASKED BY JURY
Delbert Roper Convicted of Attempting to Shoot and
 Kill Stanton Woman.

"We, the jury, find the defendant guilty as charged in the indictment and further recommend the defend ant to the clemency of the court.
 The above is the verdict returned by the jury at 6:10 o'clock last night in the case of the United States against Delbert Roper charged with malicious shooting with intent to kill, the other party being Mrs. Georgia Stanton, and the affray hay ing occurred last January on the tide flats.
 It was a strange case, in one sense of the word, inasmuch as the gov ernment, represented by United States District Attorney James A. Smiser, felt sorry for the defendant, on account of his physical condi- tion and his apparent endeavor to lift one to a normal position in life. MT. Smiser did not ask that Justice be meted out to the limit, but that the crime be recognized and mercy be allowed to be exercised by the court in passing sentence"
 Grover Vim and Henry Roden, counsel for Roper, made strong ap- peals for acquittal on account of the Good Samaritan instincts sur rounding the case.

 To some, the day is recog- nized as a regular hoodoo spell of "A hours in length. Sailors and show people are perhaps the most superstitious but ow- ing to the present strike of the marine unions, and the absence of the show people, Juneau citi zens should worry. Many, per haps, will be trifle wary about starting things tomorrow while others will go ahead just as if the date was the same as any other.

Underwood Says Navy's Coal Mining to Continue
 New Cable Endorsed.

That continuous appropriations for naval activities in Alaskan coal fields will be sought by the Navy Department from the present Con gress. is declared by Jack Under wood. in a recent article appearing hl the Seattle Times. Mir. Under wood also says that the project for a direct cable line between Seattle and the Far East by the way of Alaska has been unreservedly en- dorsed by the Secretaries of War Navy and Commerce.
 Naval Coal in Alaska.
 MT. Underwood said
 In naval circles the opinion is unanimous that the fuels for the Navy should come from the Pacific states or Alaska. An appropriation of $10OO,OOO was made at the last session of Congress to be used in developing naval coal in Alaska and for building bunkers. It is authori- tatively stated that the Navy will insist upon this appropriation being continued from year to year until it is determined definitely whether the Alaska fields contain sufficient coal tonnage to meet the fuel demands of this arm of the national defense for a long period of years. If the Alaska coal beds measure up to ex- pectations, approximately 5OO,OO0 tons of coal will be needed the first year and the demand will steadily increase. This will mean the em- ployment of several thousand men in Alaska. That there will be tremen- dous development in naval shore of everyone who has studied the sit nation.
 Emphatic Endorsement of the Pa cific cable bill, reintroduced by Sen ator Jones, was made by the Secre- taries of War, Navy and Commerce The bill authorizes an appropriation of $25,000,000 to construct a cable connecting the United States with Oriental ports, terminating at Ma nila, and provides that the route shall be selected by commission composed of the PostmasterG General the Secretaries of War. Navy and Commerce, and the chief signal off cer of the United States Army
 There is little doubt that Seattle will be made the American termi- duced at the last session indicated that the northern circle route is not only $20,000,0O0 cheaper than the route from San Francisco and Homo lulu but one cable with a part land line along the Aleutian Islands, will handle four times as much busi- ness as an all-cable route
 Vital to United States.
 In letter to Senator Jones Sec retary Weeks says that the proposed cable is of the greatest importance to the United States from military as well as an economic standpoint He directs attention to the fact that the supply of gutta percha is con trolled by Great Britain and ex- presses the opinion that the United States should be made independent of foreign nations for it's supply of raw material.
 Both Secretary Denby and Secre- tary Hoover presented strong argu- ments for immediate construction of the cable, MT. Denvy urging that a provision should be made in the bill authorizing the President to contract

SENATE LOOMS

Passage OF Tax Law Menaced
BY Democrats as Result Of
Battle for Compensation.
by J. BART CAMPBELL.
International News Service.

Republican and Democratic Sena-
tors were arrayed against one another
today In what was expected TO de-
velop into a bitter battle over the
so-called soldiers bonus amend
ments to the pending compromise
tax illl.
Two Proposals Up.
Two Democratic proposals were TO
be disposed OF, one by Senator Reed, OF
Missouri, for payment OF the soldiers
bonus by continuing the excess profits
taxes repealed by the pending meas
ure, the other advanced by Senators
Simmons OF North Carolina, and
Walsh OF Massachusetts,, for the COM
pensation OF world war veterans from
interest collected on the $11 .000, ,000, 900
foreign Indebtedness TO the United
States.
Republican leaders predicted that
both would be rejected by a sub
stantial majority. They would seek 10
show, they stated, that Senstor Reed s
amendment is unconstitutional be-
cause II is intended TO tax one class
for the benefit of another.
The Simmons Walsh amendment
they planned TO knock out on a point
of order on the ground that II IS not
germane to tax legislation.
Fear Tax Bill I'm Jeopardy.
The Democrats were prepared, how
ever, to renew the controversy over
the soldiers bonus, and II was feared
by those In charge of the tax bill that

they might not be able TO force its
passage by tomorrow night.

Smoot's proposal for manufacturers

SIMPLE TESTS

IN FAKE GEMS
No Need to Take Diamonds to
JeweIer If Cenuineness
Is Questioned.
BY International News Service.


CHICAGO, Nov. lis your diamond
genuine2 II there is any doubt In
your mind the best thing is to take
It to a reliable jeweler. You can, how
ever, test the stone yourself If you
known how. And here's how:
A small drop of water on the face
Of a clean diamond may be rolled
about with a point of pin without
losing it's globular shape. On an irnfta-
ton diamond the water will spread.
A genuine diamond immersed In q
glass of water will flash and sparkle
as brightly as in the air. A counter
felt gem will be almost invisible.
An imitation squeezed between two
silver dollars may be crushed by the
pressure of the fingers. This test,
when performed by the strongest man.
will not injure a diamond. A steel file
applied to a diamond will not scratch
Il. 1t will chip a counterfeit When
marked by an aluminium pencil a gen.
uine stone may be easily cleaned OF
the mark. The imitation holds the
mark stubbornly.
The best test Of all Is that Of spc-
cific gravity. All diamondsN have q
specific gravity of 3.52. II you don't
know how to make specific gravity
any chemist can take II for you.
The latest word from the syndicate
which controls the diamond market is
that the price of diamonds will not
come down. The directors Of the com
pany say, on the contrary, that con-
ditions at the South Africa mines make
1t probable there will be a slow but
steady increase in price for several
years.
