SALMON CLOSED SEASON LAW |S
 DECLARED VALID

JUNEAU, Alaska, Jan 7.-The Ter ritorial law establishing closed periods on the commercial salmon fishing in- dustry in Southeastern Alaska was up held in the Federal District Court the other day by Judge T. M. Reed who overruled a demurrer and motion to quash an indictment against the Aux Bay Salmon Canning company, filed several weeks ago by H. l.. Faulkner and R. E. Robertson A memorandum opinion setting forth the grounds for his ruling will be filed in the near flu. ture by Judge Reed, it was intimated later.
 The inhibition against legislation by the Territorial assembly contained inI the Alaska organic act, said the court. is against a modification of the stat utes passed by Congress upon the sub- iect of Alaska fisheries. tI would pre- vent the Alaska Legislature from re- moving the restrictions imposed byI G0USleSlOIldl dClS Uul "Oulu lOI serve to bar the local legislature from enact ing laws for additional protection to the salmon. He declared that debates in Congress, occurring at the time the Alaska organic act was being discuss ed supported such a conclusion. He held that the Territorial law, passec| last spring, is not inconsistent with the Federal statutes applicable to the same subject and not irreconciliableI with it's intent and provisions.
 Counsel for the company said that an appeal would be taken at once fromI the ruling of Judge Reed and that the case would be taken to the AppelateI Court of San Francisco. Pending thel outcome of the appeal, other fisheriesI cases based in the Territorial law in which demurrers have been filed will be held in abeyance.

ASxS CANCELLATION
 O!L LEASE C|vEN
 SINCLAIR INTERESTS
WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S-Senato T. K. Caraway of Arkansas, in the Senate this afternoon charged that the lease given Harry F. Sinclair by the former secretary of the Interior, Albert B. Fall, for development of the Tea Pot D, ne naval oil tract, was C :rupty obtained an0 he asked out light that the lease be cancelled in troducing a resolution to this effect.
 MT. Fall reiterated his statement today that the money loaned him by E. B. Mclean, the Washington pub fisher, had no bearing on the oil lease and was given Jim to purchase addl- tional ranch holdings ir N W Mexico
 The statement filed by the rmfr secretary dealt also with various otn- CT subjects which have peea preFl ously touched upon.
 The S1OO,OOO advanced by Mir. Mc- Lean. says Mir Fall. was secured oy E. : nersonal note and was lOahed 1oi tne purchase of the Harris rdnch ad-- joining that of the secretary 1he loan was for three years at the end of which time the publisher was to have inc right to call the loan or en- ter into co-partnership with MT. Fall in which the latter was to put up lands or other assets equal to the loan. The statement placed the pres ent book value of the Fall property ia New Mexico at $60O,000.
 Was Cash Deal
 LApiaining references of witnesses to la.ge sums of cash presented Ill payment for the Harris property, MT. Fall said he expected it to be cash deal, and therefore took the entire sum with him
 MT. Fall said he never approached Nr. Sinclair or Edward L. Doheney for a loan, advance or other assist ance.
 Referring to a shipment of blooded cattle to his place by MT. Sinclair MT. Fall said he had insisted that the livestock be paid for all full market price. MT. Sinclairs visit to Three Rivers, N M, prior to the leasing oL the Wyoming reesrve was pure coin cidence, the former secretary said.
 The Three Rivers Cattle Company in which Fall owns 50 per cent and his son-in-law the remainder, was de scribed by Fall as holding line of credit at Pueblo, Colo, from the Thatcher estate and from the same estate he borrowed $1OO,OOO to finance improvements on his home ranch, re maining unpaid
 Holdings Are Numerous | Practically all of his holdings in New Mexico were acquired before 1906, Mir. Fall said, and comprised al least forty separate parcels of land Tn evaried composition of the whole oi0o W"o 6I'SA ny tuc SeCIeLdiy as one of the causes of unpaid taxes The officials of Otero county, he said attempted to assess him on the full value of the whole tract as we'll as on the value of the improvements. His opposition to the assessment h declared was finally upheld in th' courts. The legal fight began in 191 ;, and was settled in 1922 when he pal : all back taxes on the basis for whic . he had been contending.

REED UpHOLDs NOMEN'S
 JURY ACT NTH DIN0ND
 hCTs IN LATE OPINION

JUNEAU, Jan. Tn a comprehen- sive memorandum opinion just filed in thefederal district court, copies of which have been received here Judge T. NJ. Reed upholds the validity of both the new territorial jury law, the SO called Dimond Act, and the Wom- ems Jury law, both enacted by the legislature last spring Both laws were attacked in motions filed by Juneau attorneys in a number of cases at the beginning of the present term of court here.
 The memorandum opinion was filed following ruling of Judge Reed which denied a motion of quash and a plea in abatement entered by H. L. Faulk- ner against the indictment in the case Prentice A similar motion and plea were filed by R. E Roberts 1n and Hen " Roden in the Johnson murder case.
 Three grounds were set up in the at tock on the two laws in question-frst t that the court was in error in select ing and impaneling the grand jury un- der the provisions Of chapter SI, ses- sion laws of Alaska, 1923, the DiTnond Act; and for impaneling women as qualified grand jurors under chapter 65 of the same laws; and further, be- cause one Indian, was allowed to sit on the grand jury.
 The opinion took up first among the general propositions, the Dimond Act One of the defects alleged was that ii required a minimum jury list of three fourths of the voters as shown by the returns fthe last proceeding general election instead of the minimum ol 800 as provided for under the old Al ter discussing this and citing a mum Der of authorities, Judge Reed said:
 How this provision extending the minimum limit Of names of prospec tive grand jurors placed in the jury box can prejudice the defendant is in comprehensible to me. The onus is or the defendant to show such prejudice in his plea as to the manner of draw. ing the grand jury is as was said by Chief Justice Fuller, fatally defec tive'
 That the act of drawing jurors is ( ministerial and not judicial function Judge Reed says:
 is invalid in that it deprives the Judg, of the court, the U. s. attorney, tn, U. $. marshal, and the clerk of thh, court, respectively, jurisdiction an, functions exercised by like judges ant officers of district courts of the Unit ed States.
 T doubt if this is material to defer dant if he cannot show that he is pre- udiced thereby. The drawing of tn original panel of grand jurors is not judicial act; it is purely ministeris which the court is empowered, and i necessary adjunct of the court i the administration of justice. If b the assignation in the plea it is near that it deprives the court of authori ty to fill the panel impartially frol the bystanders or issue a special " hire for that purpose, it might be col sidered; but it should be noted that i the territorial statute there is no pr vision for filing the panel of grand j TOTS if sufficient regularly draw grand jurors do not appear.
