NEW JERSEY JUDGES
 ID DEFY BLUE LAW
Will Attend Memorial Services
 Next Sunday

New York, March 13.--Ncu ter scy's Sabbath blue laws probably will be broken with q loud crash Sunday when Supreme Court justices, the City Commissioners Of Jersey City and others attend q Wilson memorial meeting. Former Gov. James r. Fielder will preside and Joseph r. Tumulty, secretary to President Will son will be the chief speaker. The justice and vice-chancellor already had said they would attend and the City Commission expressed it's readi- hess yesterday after the invitation had been extended in person by three members of the Wilson committee, two of whom were former judges Of the Court of Errors and Appeals of New Jersey.
 Those two former judges were Mark A. Sullivan, who is expected to violate the Sunday laws again when be appears in the Upper Room" given in St. Peters Hall Sunday night. and John J. Tracey public utility commissioner. George G. Tennant, third member of the committee. is former judge Of the Court Of Com mon Pleas of Hudson county. The commission voted 10 attend in a body with the mayor. and presumably will march to tho school. Since the meet ing is not religious the point is made il will be an obvious violation Of the law.
 Grand Jury Lists Waits
 Few of the police officials in Hudson county were ready to submit 10 tho grand jury yesterday the lists of names taken last Sunday for violation of the blue laws, and indications were that the lists could not be made ready before Friday, when Justice James F. Minturn will be at the court house 10 receive the grand jury before which the police were ordered to present the names. To the list of more than 7O0o were added yesterday names of ap- proXimately 25oo persons employed by public utilities corporation operating within the county Among these were motormcn, conductors. trainmen and railroad mechanics. telephone and tel cgraph operators, jitncy bus operators and linemen,
 Meanwhile there arose the question again as to whether th" grand jury has jurisdiction. Unless the cvidencro , showed continued violations Of the Sunday law the persons whose names were taken sunday apparently arc guilty not Of a crime but only an of- rensc, the penalty for which is Sl fine. However William F. Quinn, director Of public safety in Jersey City. said if more evidence was needed and the Grand jury SD directed, he would send out his men again next Sunday apd as many times after that as the grand l Jury directs.
 X meeting of the city commission Of ' Jersey City was held yesterday and l, heard letter from Edward A. Ran i som. secretary or the Sunday lcagnn. l asking that tho commission exercise i ifs right to prevent motorists driving l through Jersey City on Sunday rsnc- 1 cially to the South Jersey hruchcs.

Vancouver coal sold two years ago for $260 per ton but last year whaling vessels sold the same product at $80 per ton. Trappers' licenses are issued by, the Canadian government and impose a heavy tax on the alien trader, apparently with the aim of keeping all but Canadians out of the field, if possible. Aliens are required to pay $150 per year for the first five years for trapping. British born traders pay $75 per year for trapping, $150 per year for trading. Can- adians are charged only $2 year for trapping, $5 per year for trading.

Wallace Opposes Reorganization
 Of Alaskan CcntrcI

A Washington dispatch as- Iserts that secretary of agricul-
 ture Wallace is decidedly op- posed to relenquishing the ac- tivities of his department in
 Alaska, particularly the For est Service, to the department lof the interior, as proposed un- der the Brown plan for the re- organization of the executive departments of the govern |ment, which provides that AL
 aska be placed under the sole supervision of the interior de- partment.
 Appearing before the com mittee engaged in considering the plan, Secretary Wallace in- sisted that the work of his de- partment in Alaska is the same as in the states and that Alaska will suffer if deprived of the benefits of the research and technical work which his de- partment has at it's command. He referred especially to the national forests in Alaska. In reply to an inquiry regarding his opinion of the present divis- ion of authority in Alaska, he said that some reorganization could be effected with benefit

 recently on his way home over the winter trail, a mush ol

 The following items taken from an interview published in the Weekly Alaskan provide an interesting view into the life and conditions in those far northern regions.
 Trapping and trading pro- vide practically the only occu- ation. There are only about ten white people in the district, the number including a corp oral and private of the Royal Northwest Mounted Pol ice, who established a post there last year. The nearest post and settlement in the Hud- son Bay district is only about 200 miles away.

HOW THE POLITICAL
 POT IS BOILING

With the closer approach o1
 the final day for filing decIar.
 ations of candidacy for the
 April primary, a veritable rush Iof candidates is developing in the First and Third divisions.
 A majority of the aspirants,
 however, appear as republic ans and democratic office seek CTS appear relatively scarce.
 With so many in the field, for the republican nominations the situation indicates a decid- edly lively campaign before the votes are cast.
 There are now two candidates listed in the gubernatorial pref
 erential primary. Cash Cole,
 whose candidacy was an-
 nounced in the Miner last
 week, has a formidable op- ponent in the person of Emery Valentine, veteran politician, six times mayor of Juneau, and former leader of the Wicker sham forces in the First Divis- ion. The Juneau Empire says that while he has made no plat form or campaign announce it is understood that, as usual, he is against the organ- ization. Old timers will recall that it was Valentine who led the Roosevelt supporters back in 1912, called the first insur- gent convention held in the Territory, and was National Committeeman for the Bull Moose" Progressives.
 It is also reported by a Seattle paper that George D. Schofield has filed for the governorship nomination on the republican ticket but the statement has not been confirmed by any of the Alaska papers to hand. The list of candidates for the lower house of the Territorial le gislature on the republican ticket now includes the names of Leroy E. Noland, of Juneau, and Perry M. Hern, of Skag- way. MT. Noland is a World War veteran and superintend- ent of the Juneau telephone M. Hern is twenty year resident of Skagway and $ in the drug business. w. U. Grant, of Wrangell, is another First Division republican aspir- ant for a seat in the lower house. The latest list to hand includes the names of H. R. Shepard, Trevor M. Davis, c. l J. Skuse and Leroy Noland, all 'f. Juneau, w. D. Grant, o1 Wrangell, Perry M. Hern, of 1 Skagway, and W. L Paul, of ! Kechikan.
 In the Third Division there is 1 ] lady Republican candidate Or the lower house in the per ! 'on of Miss Selma Scott, of Val 1 leg, who was chief clerk at he last session of the Territor- ! al senate and is also a member ! 'f the bar At present she is thief deputy clerk of the Third | Division district court.

 Johnny Dundee, feather and Junior lightweight champion, has been matched for a battle for the 130 pound title with Jose Lombardo, the Panama featherweight. The bout is to take place in Panama February I22, with a $15,0OO guarantee for Dundee. Lombardo is but little known outside of Central America. In 1922 he scored II knockouts in 12 contests, four of them in one round. He won the decision in his other con- test. He is B and weighs about 129. He was born in Panama.
 The South American Boxing Confederation has passed a resolution declaring that Firpo must accept within 60 days from Dec. 8 last, the challenge of the former Chilean heavy weight, Quintin Fomero-R -Rojas, now living in France, for a bat tie for the heavyweight champ ionship of South America, now held by Firpo.
