ALASKA UP TO DATE
 EVIDENCED BY SCENE

That Alaska is in no sense behind the times, so far as modern develop
 ments go, is evidenced by a scene
 witnessed by an Anchorage booster on a recent Sunday. It is one which migh5 just easily have been noted at Ketchikan or Cordova or Seward, in
 it's essentials, and goes to show with what rapidity events are trans piring nowadays in the North. This
 was demonstrated, says the en- thusiast, when an airplane bearing passengers passed over ths city
 while vending it's way to the hills a pack train, followed by several pros pectors bearing packs upon their backs and with dogs likewise burd- ened, headed for the hills. In the railroad yards a Pullman train was just pulling in and big tractor was making it's way out the river road to perform service for the Alaska Road Commission. Tennis players halted for a moment to gaze at the airship while watchers at a base
 ball game took a nasty glance, but did not suffer their attention to be drawn from the national sport. Out over the Knik arm the airship scared, thence on down to Cook inlet and
 back along the skirts of the moun- tain Two old-timers chewed assidu-
 ously upon their quids and cast an eye skyward. Gee, Bill, if we'd had that thing filled with bacon and ,, beans in '99,' said one. Some day
 I'm going to take a spin in that wagon just for luck said the other Cook inlet, according to reports,
 is rapidly being dotted with canner- ies and salteries, beluga whaling stations and halibut fisheries. The airplane. introduced this summer by o. E. Hammontree, serves for rapid transit between the canneries and Anchorage Already the demand for services is growing and before the summer is ended regular schedules are to be inaugurated. The city of Anchorage is working on plans for providing an aviation field, and the
 plans suggested for permanent military post at Point Campbell, 10
 miles south of Anchorage, carry with them an aviation field.

BAR MEETING
 IS ROLL, CALI,
 NOTABLE MEN

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 16.-The an. nual convention of the American Bar Association, with 2000 delegates pres ent, which met here on August 9, 10 and II, was one of the most brilliant and important gatherings of American lGWyers and ju~ists in the history of the organize Gion. The meeting was g:Yen special significance by the pres enca of Chief Justice Taft, who of English court practice some sugges- tions for improvement in the Ameri- can procedure. The laws delay has long been a source of much criticism in the United States, and with the in- creased pressure of legal business since the end of the war, this criti- cism has become greatly aggravated Justice is slower in the United States, and more uncertain, especially in criminal cases, than in any other first rate power in the world and there is no doubt that the American Bar Asso- citation is eager to help in correcting this, if MT Taft will point the way Chief Justice Taft made notable ad- dress, in which he set out certain court practices in effect in England for centuries, which he considered ad- wi An, nj fn nIp
 The convention was called to order by Governor w. D. Stephens, the roll call revealing the presence of such not ables as Vice President Calvin Cool idge; Henri Aubepin, of Paris; Lord Shaw of Dumferline, Scotland; Gov ernor H. J. Allen, of Kansas, whose h. dustrial Court law has lately come into public notice; c. D. Severence, of St. Paul. last years president of the As sociation; John W. Davis, late ambas- sador to the Court of, St. James; Elihu Root, and others of prominence. Lord Shaw was the foreign visitor who re- ceived the most attention. Lord Shaw is not a stranger in the United States. He was an intimate friend of the late Andrew Carnegie, and has lately been a guest of Ambassador Davis and At torney General Daugherty in Washing ton. Lord Shaw is Lord of Appeals in Ordinary of Great Britain, and his address, together with that of Chief Justice Taft's on Reforms in Federal, Procedure" was the outstanding con tribution of the convention.
 Some of the committee reports at San Francisco had a good deal of pop ular interest. Among them were those
 of the committees of criminal law, comparative law, legal education, the report on the last mentioned subject being made by Elihu Root; patent, trademark and copyright law, public
 utility law, uniform state laws, inter-
 national law, and law reforms. Other reports dealt with professional ethics
 and grievances; commerce, trade and
 commercial law; insurance law, pub licity, memorials, Jurisprudence.
 Other subjects discussed related to admiralty and maritime law; note worthy changes in state laws; uni
 form judicial procedure; the proposed change in the date of presidential in- augurations from March to some later date; classification and restate-
 ment of law; legal aid work; aviation and internal revenue law.
 With the election of John W. Davis as the new president of the Associa-
 tion, the convention closed one of the
 most significant and constructive ses-
 sons of it's history.

preliminary hearing late today that
Mrs. 'McNally toow the children to q
hospital in Chicago last January and
returned with two dolls, which she
substituted for the babies.
Mrs McNally. who claims that the
twins were never born. and that she
hoodwinked her husband and neigh.
bers by using dummies IN order to
satisfy her husbands ambition TO be
known as father. was unperturbed
by her husbands testimony Me-
Nally was on the stand for few
minutes only and he win resume II
tomorrow.
Attorneys for the defense objected
to his testimony a soon as he was
placed on the stand. Judge Cleve-
land ruled that McNally might tell
of events following the time he SAYS
the babies were born, but will not be
permitted TO testify to events pre-
ceding that date.
McNally said that the twins were
born December 5. last. and asserted
that he had seen them and that they
We're alive. He said he saw them last
on January 25. and that shortly
after his wife took them to Chicago
and returned with two dolls, saying
she had left the babies q a hospital
to be treated. After her return Me-
Nally said his wife apparently pre-
tended before neighbors that the dolls
were her babies Asked IL he had
ever seen blood on either of the
babies, he said he had seen his wife
wiping blood from the ear OF one
of them.

She asserted that after the time
