FOR FATAL OPERATION
Faces 20 Year Sentence for
Illegal Act.

DR.. Simeon 3. Minden of 230 East Six
ty-ninth street was found guilty by a
jury before Judge Gibbs in the Bronx
County Court of performing an Illegal
operation which caused the death OF Mrs.
Catherine Rega of 3458 Third avenue
at Lincoln Hospital. on April /. 1921.
DR.. Minden collapsed when the verdict
was announced, but was soon revived.
He will be sentenced within a week. the
maximum possible penalty being twenty
years imprisonment.
A vigorous defense OF the case was
entered by the physician, who sought to
show that the operation followed a self
inflicted injury. During the trial 1t was
brought out that he had been convicted
three times before on various charges,
one being in 1918 when he was found
guilty in United States court for con-
cealing large quantity of cocaine.

THE PRICE OF ONE BATTLEsH1P

The Alaska railroad, constructed in new country, about two thousand miles from the nearest base of supplies, with 395 miles of track, connecting the great interior of Alaska with the sea coast tapping a great coal mining section, great farming section and large min ing interests, with modern, up-to-date town. several good sized, quite remarkable bridges, and rolling stock, depots, etc.. all of which has cost the United States government just the price of one modern battleship. The modern battleship requires an official force of 65 of- ficers and 1865 men. Their salaries and main tenance, the up-keep of the ship, ammunition and fuel for ten years will run the cost of the batteship up to many millions more. At the end of the period she is taken to the practice grounds, fired at and sunk. Such is the re- peated history of the best. The possible bene- fits lie in the possible protection the ship has afforded during her very brief span.
 The Alaska railroad may for the next five years cost the government of the United States as much for up-keep and maintenance as that battleship. Gradually the returns from the road will increase until within few years the balance will be on the right side of the ledger At the end of the ten year period when the battleship is scrapped and the railroad will be running through valley of some two hun dred miles. populated with industrious. hard working, happy, law-abiding people. Farms, mills, homes, and industrial centers will dot the landscape along the right of way Mines of coal and gold, oil wells and forestry pro- ducts will be part of the result of the invest ment. Will it be worth the price of a modern battleship and its maintenance for ten years to develop a country as rich and as large as one of the new modern nations of Europe? Yet some will decry the expenditure. Some folks are hard to please.-Daily Alaskan.

RAILROAD REDUCTIONS

The assertion having been made that the railroads had not reduced rates Congressman Everett Sanders called upon the Interstate Commerce Commission for statement of the facts in that regard. He received a reply which transmitted to him list of rate reductions that filled 107 typewriter pages, the first seven pages including general reductions and the remaining hundred pages reductions on specific commodities. The letter from the commission stated that the reductions on grain, grain products and hay would alone mean a loss of from $35,000000 to $4O,0Oo,000 in rev enue to the railroads, and corresponding gain to. the shippers As there were 135,00O rate schedules filed during the year 1920, it is inn practicable to determine the exact extent of reductions all commodities. It would re- quire several months to compile list of all the rate reductions.

HARMONIZER HARDING

President Harding's remark in his message that he believes in less rather than more power for the executive cannot be construed as de- sire to avoid work or trouble Harding has never evaded an issue or a task when it came up to him. Neither has he gone around hunting for a chance to medde with other people s duties. He has absolute confidence in the American constitutional system of representa- tive popular government and fully understands the dangers incident to concentration of power. He does not imagine himself superman nor does he covet authority. He wants to preserve the ancient landmarks of our form of govern ment-landmarks which autocracy has treat ed with too little respect in recent years

TERRITORIAL SUPREME COURT

Wit?l legislation pending for the more ef- ficient administration of Alaska affairs by the coordination of the various bureaus dealing with the development of the Territory there is one other reform needed in the Territory
 Tie process of appeals from the Territorial courts at the present time is so expensive that ordinary litigants cannot afford to carry an appeal to the Court of Appeals at San Fran cisco. The thing Alaska needs is Territorial Sum emc Court located in the Territory to which appeas will lie in all Territorial matters
 The formation of such a court was considered at the last meeting of the Alaska Bar Associa- tion of the Third Division at Valdez The members of the bar were unanimously in favor of the creation of such court-and commit tee was appointed to work out some plan whereby it could be accomplished
 It ought not to be difficult matter to i'm press the necessity of such court upon the Department of Justice at Washington and se- cure its cooperation for the passage of bill through Congress creating Supreme Court for the Territory of Alaska Seward, Gateway.

The innovation of a string quar-

for the season Of the Dramatic
Stock Company at the Shubert-

popular with the audience. 1t

for solo work. and Daniel Bree-
skin was forced to repeat his
violin solo OF THE Song Of India"
by Rimsky Korsakoff, that he
played during an entr 'acte.
The quartet is placed in an
upper box. That is a somewhat
doubtful location, for some of the
music is lost and it would seem
better to sacrifice one OF the
lower boxes for the sake of the
acoustics.
But the aloofness OF the music
adds a certain quality of charm
