 DECLARES U. s. CIRCUIT COURT

an open one heYe. Abbette V. United States, 270 Fed. 735; Kappitz V United States 273 Fed 96. The court committed no error in refusing te sustain a general objection to any and all testimony upon the mere un' supported statement of counsel that the testimony was procured by Illegal means, and, hnasmuch as no further objection was interposed when the testimony was actually offered and received, there is no question before us for review.
 "The judgment of the court below is affirmed"
 The Mabry case was handled in the local court by Wickersham and Kehoe and was argued by Judge in San Francisco early last spring. The Simpson case was handled at Ketchikan by A. H. Zeig- Ter and Judge Wickersham. The ap- peal was handled by John J. Sullivan of Seattle. U. s. Attorney A. G. Shoup appeared for the government before the Circuit Court arguing both cases

HARDING TO BE
 ASKED TO MAKE ] NATIONAL PARK
Gov. Bone to Ask Tongass Island Park to Preserve Lincoln Carving.

President Harding will be asked by Gov. Scott c Bone to declare Ton. gass Island a National Park for the preservation of a remarkable statue of Abraham Lincoln carved by an Indian over 50 years ago and which etands in group of fine totem poles which have withstood the ravages of time. An announcement to this effect was made today by the Gov ernor.
 Tongass Island Is dIminutiye body of land off the southern-most point of the Alaska mainland and was the site of Ft. Tongass. estab- lished soon after the Seward pur- chase. but abandoned long ago. The statue surmounts S0-foot totem pole and faithfully presents the emanc- pator dressed in the clothing of that period, with long coat and stovepipe hat and holding in his left hand an object typifying his famous proclama- tion. His face is turned southward Entrance. The work was executed from a picture given the native by soldier and tho portrayal is strik- ingly true to life.
 Vessels entering Alaska pass with in sight of Tongass Island, but stops are rarely made and the existence of the totems has been unknown to tourists or Alaskans generallq
 Judge James Wiekersham visited the island a few days ago en route to Hyder and found the totems splen didly preserved and the Lincoln statue most striking. It is upon his report to the Governor that the park will be remembered. Initial steps have been taken toward the formation of a Lincoln Park Association.

1 The question of the validity of tn. i Alaska Bone Dry Law is no longer q !, debatable one before the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Dis trict, sitting at San Francisco accord ing to late decisions rendered by that body. This position was taker in two cases carried up fro.a tht U. s. District Court from thls piyi s:on, opinions covering waich have just been received here
 One of these cases was the Harry Mabry cases from Sitka and the oth- CT the Jerry Simpson case from ket- chikan. In both cases the issue was raised by thu appellants as to lhe constitutionality of the Alaska Bone Dry Law. The eases were heard be- fore Judges Gilbert Rudkin and Vol verton, the opinions being read by Judge Rudkin.
 The decisions, filed May 2S, are identical in language and declare:
 This was prosecution under the Bone Dry Act eff Alaska demurrer to the complaint CT information was overruled, and after the jury was empaneled the defendant objected 10 further proceedings or to the intro duction of any Testimony in the case for the following reasons: First. be- cause the complaint did not state facts sufficient to constitute a crime; second, because all evidence in the case was procured by an un.aaseI,- able and illegal search; third. be- cause all evidence In the cas-. was obtained by officers of the United States after they had gained ad- mission to the premises occupied by the defendant under and by irtue of an illegal search warraat. and, fourth, because the Alaska Bone Dry Act is unconstitutional and void. The first and last grounds of objection are covered by the demurrer. The court overruled the objection and the overruling of the demurrer and the overruling of the objection to the in- troduction of testimony are the only errors assigned. These assignments are without substantial merit. The validity of the Alaska Bone Dry Act has been twice affirmed by this court and the question is no longer

CONSERVATION SET
FOR SEPTEMBER29
Rev. Dr.. Freeman to Take
Office as Bishop With I'm
preSSive Services.

Rev. DR.. James z. Freeman. rector
of the Church of the Epiphany. is to
be consecrated as third Bishop of
Washington at exercises to be held at
1880 am. September 90, at Epiphany
Church.
Invatitions have been issued to the
ceremonial service by the standing
committee OF the Episcopal Church in
the diocese of Washington. but it is
believed that many persons will be
unable to secure seats.
Fear Lack of Room.
1t was pointed out today by Rev.
DR.. George F. Dudley of st. Stephens
Church. the master of ceremonies,
that the service of conservation is an
official matter of concern to the whole
diocese. 1t is. therefore. the diocesan
officers that will occupy the promi-
nent places in the service rather than
the oficers of Epiphany parish.
This point must be borne in mind.
Dr. Dudley said. because the seating
capacity of the church, although the
largest of all the Episcopal churches in
washington. viii not accommodate all
that will desire to be present
1t is anticipated that about a thou
sand persons will be invited. which
will include all the bishops. the men,
oers OF the various committees of the
diocese and certain government Off
cials.
The committee is scanning the lists
very carefully in hopes of providing
seats for the many friends of the new
olshop; but the task is almost hopeless
1t was stated. The diocese covers not
only the District of Columbia but also
the four adjacent counties of Maryland
in which some forty Episcopal churches
are located. AS the church officials from
all over the diocese have the same right
to be present as the people in the city.
1t Is only question of arithmetic 10
prove that there will not be many seats
remaining for those who hold no office
1t was declared.
Bishop Manning to Preach.
Dr. Freeman, who was elected bishop
last May. will be formally presented by
two bishops of the church, according to
the church's ritual. to three consecrators,
who also are bishops. 1t is announced
that Bishop William T. Manning of
New York will preach the sermon.
IL is understood that Bishop John
Gardner Murray of Maryland will be
one OF the three bishops to perform the
rite OF conservation
