MEN EAGER TO SIT
ON MIXED JUR|ES
Make Grand Rush to Get on
Panel Now That Women
Are Serving.

SMITHPORT, Pa, Jan. 2o.-Men
who have all their lives endeavored
to keep their names out OF the jury
wheel are now making a mad rush to
get their names in the wheel iu Nc
Kean county,. This is due to the fact
that women will be included as ju-
rors from now on, it is said. R. c.
Pollock, Of Bradford. and w. Fl. Nor
rison, Of this city, jury commission
ers, are finding their mail full Of re-
quests by men to serve as jurors.
The Ming about completed, con-
tains about 500 names. one-ha'f OF
them being women. Juries composed
Of both sexes hereafter will be the
rule, although in some cases efforts
may be made to have the jury COM
posed entirely Of women.
The fact that mixed juries" are to
be the rule in the future raises
several interesting questions. Sup
pose a Jury Is deadlocked. will the
women agree on a compro mise vei-
cict?. Juries are sworn to secrecy.
Will the women be able to refrain
from tattling all that was donA in
side the jury room? And IL there is
an all-night session will be women sit
I'D all night or where will they put
the women. The law says jury can
not be divided or separated even in
the event OF q long drawn out affair
Then again the question arises
what sort of games will they play
after firing Of deliberations when the
Jury is hung up-poker, craps or
bridge?

DECIDED CIPHER. ESTH|RTEENTH
 REMEMBERING.
Roger Bacon's 800,000 Word Manuscript Unfolded by
 Scientists Researches.

PHILADELPHIA, May 10.-Scien teenth gentry philosopher-monk, had a remarkable knowledge of modern mathematical system and had used both the telescope and the micro scope They base their assertions on revelations made in ciphered manu- script recently decoded.
 A detailed description of the meth od used in decoding the cipher used in a 800,000 word manuscript, now the property of Wilfrid M. Voynich of New York and London, was made here before the American Philosophi- cal Society by Prof. William R. New bold, of the University of Pennsyl- vania.
 Bacon conceived the idea of ex- pressing every letter of word which he wanted to write in cipher by a syllable and building the syllable in to a new word" Dr. Newbold said.
 Bacon lays down the rule that successive syllablcs must end and DoRln Wltn the same IelleIS, uOuUle letters being dropped. Thus eat may be spelled in the Bacon cipher as follows: 'go-ol-ld, dropping the double letters, one gets the word gold
 'In reading the cipher you dou ble every letter except the first and last and thus discover the syllables which spell the word But it is very seldom possible to find syllables which fulfill these conditions and yet spell a new word when arranged in the order of letters of the original word like eat. For example, eat may also be spelled 'ar-rk-da' and the syllable may be rearranged into the word dark but when dark is trans. lated the word eat will reappear as tea the order of the letters being disarranged.
 There are ASA possible combina- tions of the letters of the two p letter alphabets, taken two by two Bacon makes every one of the ASA represent letter of his alphabet and with them spells his words in Latin in the way indicated above"
 Scholars probably never will agree Dr. Newbold said. how the Bacon text should be reconstructed.

MARINE STRIKE
 MAY DELAY THE
 WORK AT FL N|D0
Pipe and Water Wheels Need- ed for Drilling at Seattle
 with No Boats.

The shipping strike may delay con Lemplated work at the Fl Nido mine pn Lisianski peninsula, according to ], H. Cam, principal owner of the property. Water pipe, water wheels and several other needed articles were expected here on the last boats so that they could be installed at the workings to furnish power for the compressor that is to be used in the tunnel work, MT. Cam said to- day. It was planned to get the ma Chinery in place so that drilling could start within a month but if the supplies are delayed the work will be delayed just as much.
 A crew of men, MT. Cam said, are now freighting supplies from tho bei oh to the site of the prospect in preparation to erecting the needed buildings, the work being done under the direction of D. J. Williams, a inning engineer.
 Speaking of visit paid by himself and Mr Williams to the Hirst-Chi chagoff mine, Mr. Cam said this mine was showing up most promis' ing and that it seemed to have d great future before it.
 MT. Cam left this afternoon on his boat Apex for Lisianski Peninsula to be on the ground while the work is being done on the Fl Nido.

PERKINS, NAME NOT REFERRED
 TO IN PROTEST
Shattuck Says Association Did Not Specifically Op-
 pose Any Candidate.

That statements declaring the Ju neau Commercial Association had specifically protested against the ap- pointment of Col. W. T. Perkins for Governor of Alaska have no founda- tion of fact was made known this morning by President Allen Shat tuck, of the Association. MT Shat tuck said that such statements are absolutely false"
 "The Juneau Commercial Associ- ation, in common with other organi- cations, both civic and commercial phatic protest against the apx Oint- ment of anyone not a bona fide resi- dent of Alaska for Governor" he said. This action is not inconsist- ent with the attitude of every Alas kan and towns all over Alaska have done likewise. Mass meetings have been held in various places iii the Territory, including one in Juneau in which members of the Territorial Legislature took an active part, pro- testing against the appointment. Of any outsider"
 Includes Perkins.
 At the time the telegraphic protest of the Association was sent to Pres ident Harding, said MT. Shattuck, the name of Col. Perkins had not been considered, at least publicly, although one Or two others had been suggested as likely candidates. However" he continued, "our atti- tude was not the result of opposi- tion to any particular candidate. There was nothing personal in the protest, but it was directed against anyone not a bona fide Alaskan. As far as I am concerned, personally, believe that Col. Perkins is not bona fide Alaskan and that the pro test refers to him as much as it does to any other outsider, whether resi- dents of New York, or Washing ton'

CRAIG LUMBER COMPANY CASE
 NOW DECIDED
Logging Company's Claim Is Not Preferred One Opin-
 ion of Jennings.

An opinion has just been handed down by United States District Judge Robert w. Jennings, of the United States District Court, which will be of much interest to employees also corporations.
 The decision is in the case of the Craig Lumber Company, a corpora tion, bankrupt; k. l.. Cobb, trustee vs. the McDonald- Weist Logging Company.
 The logging company sued the lum- Der company for $27,S71.5O, with in terest. this sum being alleged being due on logs furnished.
 The start of the case dates back to 1917 when the Craig Lumber Company began operations at Craig Alaska, to produce spruce lumber for airplanes. Everything seemed to be going along swimmingly when the armistice was signed, then the com pany ceased operations.
 On December 20 1918, the Craig Lumber Company notified the logging SoHipdhs tO stcp Woi n. Eht lIitt iiiilt' the logging company had approxi' mately 100000 feet of logs ready to be rafted. Previously, approximately 3,779,426 feet of logs. valued at S37,- 794.26, had been delivered to the lumber company at Craig and only $10,544.37 had been paid on account.
 The McDonald-Weist Logging Com pany put in preferred claim for the balance of the amount due, placing labor lien. ...
 The case was taken before a ref cree. The decision was that as both the Craig Lumber Company and the Mcdonald -Weist Logging Company were foreign corporations and had not complied with the laws of the Territory of Alaska in filing proper papers, neither had any right re- garding labor liens, etc.
 By the decision handed down by United States District Judge Jen- nings the decision of the referee is upheld and the Mcdonald Weist Log ging Company claim is a general one instead of preferred and the com pany must share pro rata with others in the. amount remaining following previous settlement of all former labor liens.

 No response had been received from MT. Semmes late today, but it is considered that he has put the mat ter up to Washington for some final decision. Gov. Riggs advised him that supplies must reach Westward points within two weeks.
 Locally the situation has not changed. There exists no shortage of staples nor is there any uneasi- ness felt by local business men on that score. Green stuffs, perishables, etc, are almost off the market but fresh supplies ordered from Van couver are expected to arrive on the Princess Mary tomorrow morning. Several merchants stated today that their orders had been filled and were on that vessel thus contradicting the rumor that Canadian liners would not handle such commodities on ac- count of the fact that originally they came from American territory,
