RAILWAY WAGE WAR
 HAS ITS EFFECT ON
 MARKET TRADING
Dealings In Stocks Were Light and More Than 0rdi- nariIy Contracted, Price
 Tendencies Reactionary
By Associated Press

New York, February 7.--Stock market ccuditions became consolidated today by reason of incidents over the week end recess. Refusal of President Wilson to intervene in the railway wage controv- ersy and cumulative signs of tighter uRuney encouraged shorts to extend their corn mittment.s
 Other advices relating to market val ues were of a doubtful if not discourag- ing tenor. Western and southwestern sections of the country reported further uncertainty regarding business prospects and more falling off of railroad tonnage.
 Tn the Ohio district additional curtail- ment' of steel operations was noted. This was neutralized in measure by New England advices which indicated pro- Eounced revival of activity in the textile and leather industries.
 Although last Saturdays returns of the local clearing house and federal reserve banks of the country were favorable in the main, money rates held at recent firm levels. Time funds were quotably unaltered, but the supply even for the shorter maturities, was exceedingly small.
 Dealings in stocks were light and more than ordinarily contracted. Save at the outset, when moderate steadiness was shown, price tendencies were reaction ary. Minimum quotations in the last hour followed news of the failure of pas sage of the Winslow bill in the House. This measure was designed to grant par tial payment of claims by the railroads against the government. Numerous losses of one to three points were resis- tered at the heavy close.
 There was only a nominal market in foreign exchange, the British rate recov- ering moderately from last weeks final questions, while French, Belgian, Span ish, Swiss and Scandinavian remittances were appreciably lower.
 Heavness extended to bonds, several Of the new underwritings including Pennsylvania 61as, falling under their subscription prices Liberty issues re- corded trivial gains on the day. Sales, par value. SIP, ,325, 900.

FORMER SENATOR FROM KETCH|KAN
 HERE ON VISIT
Senator and Mrs. Heckman Arrive on Jeferson-Sen-
 ator Favors Britt Bill.

To renew old acquaintances among the members of the Legislature, many of whom he served with in for mer sessions, and out of interest in matters of legislation, former Sena- tor J. R. Heckman, of Ketchikan, arrived in Juneau this morning on the steamer Jefferson. He is ac- companied by Mrs Hickman.
 Mr. Heckman, who recently re turned from an extended visit in the States, said that he was agree ably surprised to find conditions at ported There is considerable ac- tivity in the fresh fish industry there, he said, a large number of halibut fishermen operating from there as headquarters and selling their catches to the Ketchikan cold storage plants. Suspension of the fish canning operations in the Ket- chikan district this season, he said. was almost complete. He estimated but two or three plants would oper- ate and those only in a limited man. ner, utilizing only the cans which were left over from last year.
 In response to a query relative to the Britt Fisheries Bill recently introduced in the Territorial Senate for Territorial control of the fisher ies of Alaska, MT. Heckman stated that he had received a copy of the measure and considered it fundamen- measure and it's purpose. he said, are correct. In his opinion, he stat ed. some minor amendments will be necessary in order to make it sat isfactory measure, but in the main the provisions of the proposed law are such as to be equitable to every one concerned and for the best in terests of the Territory as a whole
 MT and Mrs. Heckman will re- main in Juneau possibly for three weeks, returning then to their home in Ketchikan. Early this summer they plan now. to make another trip into Interior Alaska going to An chorage and over Broad Pass by the way of the Government Railroad to Nenana. visiting Nenana and Fair banks and then out by the way of the Richardson Highway to either Valdez or ordova MT and Mrs. Heckman toured the Interior dis. tricts in the summer of 1919 but did not include the Anchorage and railroad region.

JOHNSON CASE ATTR RACT|VE IN
 DISTRICT COURT
Alleged Liquor Case Has Many Spectators Evl-
 dence Is Presented.

The United States District trial court room presided over by District Judge Fred M Brown was crowded this morning by spectators to listen to the evidence in the case of George l.. Johnson, recently indicted by the grand jury on II counts, al leging violation of the liquor laws. The jury was secured yesterday fore noon and the government introduced witnesses yesterday afternoon, the principal one being Fred NJ. Magill. E
 Following the resting of the plain tiff yesterday, the attorneys for the defense moved that counts 3, 4, $, 8 and 10 of the indictment be dis missed and Judge Brown ruled ia vorably This left the following counts: Alleged illegal posses sion of liquor on June 12; 2-alleged | illegal possession of liquor on Aug ust 30; ,, ' and g, alleged illegal importing of liquor from Prince Ru- pert to Juneau on June 12, August 3 and September F, respectively; ! 11-alleged importing of intoxicating liquor and alleged selling of same.
 Testimony As To Character
 When the case resumed this fore noon, the defendant placed on the stand United States District Attor rey James A. Smiser. c. J. Alexan der. John Beck and T. F. P Keegan. who alleged that the reputation of Magill was not of the best. w. w. Casey Jr., Harry Brown and Guy MeNaughton testified that the repu tation of Johnson was good he be ing law-abiding citizen. George l.. Johnson also took the stand in his own defense and testi- i fled that there was no liquor on the gas boat Iris when he was aboard on a certain trip. with the exception of two bottles for private consump- tOn.
 Johnson went into details concern ing the purchase of the Iris, hiring of Fred Magill, as captain, and his subsequent discharge. Johnson tes tified that he had purchased the Iris for use in general business around the channel and possibly for opera tion to a fox island in which he might become interested with H. s. ] Graves.
 H. s. Graves was placed on the stand and testified that he and John son had entered into verbal agree ment regarding fox raising, that la ter Johnson said he had secured a gasboat. which Graves stated was needed in the business. Later the project was abandoned as the Island |, leased was found not suitable.
 N. H. Castle gave rebuttal testi
 mony for the plaintiff. saying that !, Magills reputation as a gas boat ? captain was of the best, this state
 ment having been told him by John
 son.
 H. L. Faulkner and Henry Rodeu
 are attorneys for Johnson and Assis- tant United States District Attorney | Walter Schaffner represents the gov ernment.
 Arguments are being made by the
 attorneys this afternoon, and the case will then go to the jury.
