REPRIEvES MAY
 BE GRANTED BY
 GOV. OF ALASKA
Attorney General Ma k e Broad Ruling as to Gov
 ernor's $ Reprieve Power.

That the Governor of Alaska may grant reprieves or respites not only in capital cases, but in lesser cases is the opinion of Attorney General Daugherty, as expressed in @ letter to United States Attorney A. H Shoup, according to statement made by the latter today in which a portion of the Attorney Generals let ter was made public Power to grant reprieves, Mir. Daugherty says, is given the Governor under Section $50 of the Alaska Compiled Laws and the Department of Justice has no ob- jection to it being exercised by him.
 The question of the Governor s power to grant reprieves in cases Oth- CT than capital ones was recently brought up in connection with the case of an Indian, who had been sentenced to jail for taking certain fur bearing animals out of season. Owing to the state of the Indians health. it was considered dangerous both to him and to prisoners in the local Federal jail to place him in confinement there. Governor Bone granted a reprieve in the case and the case was taken up with the President for executive clemency. Mir. Shoup made a full report of the case to the Attorney General and request ed a ruling on the matter
 . In response to MT Shoup's request, MT. Daugherty in a letter just re- ceiyed by the former, said in part:
 Owing to the great distance Al aska is from Washington and the diff ficuity of transporting mail during a portion of the year, situations will undoubtedly arise where the interests of justice require a stay of execution until the will of the President can be ascertained and where it would be a humane act for the Governor to grant stay CT repreve until the

But the good liquor is mixed with in gredients that are harmful to the hu- man system and the question upper most in the minds of those who come to me for analysis of their liquor is how to remove the ingredients and leave the bonded stuff''
 That bonded" whiskey is being grossly misrepresented by bootleg gers, was revealed recently when a raid of a printing shop in the down town section by Federal and police officials uncovered a plant which is said to have been devoted exclusive ly to the manufacture of counterfeit labels and bottled-in-bond revenue stamps.
 The labels were similar to those used by prominent distillers on pop ular' brands of intoxicating liquors previous to the becoming effective of the 18th amendment.
 Ten thousand alleged counterfeit revenue [. stamps were confiscated Federal secret service operatives de clare that statements made by some of the six persons arrested in connec tion with the raid indicate that $50, 900 had been ''cleared" during the past year through sales of the labels to bootleggers in Kansas City. New York, Chicago, Detroit and other cities.

When the United States entered the

France he proved TO be the star OF
Irving Berlin's soldier show which

the orchestra leader and in his ever

sensed the situation and directed
Clark's song, which went over for
a big hit. By the time the song
was finished the soldier-actors had
regained themselves and the show
proceeded without further danger.
Immediately after the show Clark
was the recipient of several offers
after his army contract had ex-
pired. However, when he returned
home from France the offers were
forgotten and he took to vaude-
