Attempting Heave Line To Stranded Casboat
 Alexander Wrecked

The gasboat Alexander, Captain Smith, a boat fifty foot in length, powered with a 30-40 Buffalo ma rine engine, was totally destroyed October 14, at East Forelands, Cook Inlet, according to Al H. Hardy, game warden for this district, a Seward visitor yesterday, when in making an attempt to get line to Hardy's boat which was on the rocks, went ashore itself, where it was batter ed to pieces by the heavy storm, which swept down the following morning.
 An account of the wreck of Hardy's boat, the Martin, was published in the Gateway some days ago. In cruising into the rescue of the Mar tin, the Alexander's line became wrapped about the wheel, disabling it beyond immediate repair in the already heavy swells which were then, says Hardy, were rolling in to shore, mountain high. The gasboat Eklutna finally came along and car ried both crews into Anchorage.

BARRING SECRETS
Wrccking Operations in Quiet Sub urbs Give Glimpses into Buildings Never Before Shown,

London, Jan. 23. So many buildings are being torn down in London nowadays, to make way for modern and comparatively large modern structures, that various sections of the stolid old city are taking on the busting appearance of a new and rapidly growing American town. Also the dcmoli- tions often give passersby unex- pected glmpses of ancient houses hitherto hidden from view.
 One gets occasional gimpses of famous old landmarks that never before, at least in living memory. have been fully exposed to public view. One of these is the Old Savoy Chapel which, with the trees in its little churchyard, can now be seen from the top of bus in the Strand.
 Another is in Bishopsgate where quaint little St. Ethelburga. one of the oldest and smallest churches in London, fronted with two ancient and tiny shops, is now suddenly re- vealed by the pulling down of buildings at it's side. It was here that Henry Hudson and his com panions came before they sailed from the Thames on their last yoy- age to the frozen north.

Sev- enty-nine persons or firms who pre- sonted them have been asked to send certified cheeks or money or. ders to cover the amounts and to pay fee of $5 plus the protest fees the department says.

In most cases the pay mcnts are made good, the depart ment says. During the year just past the department collected st,115 in five dollar forfeits for bad checks.
 The same procedure is followed by the department for bad checks given for operators licenses which are now available for 1925 at the department here and branches in New Haven, Bridgeport, Waterbury and New London.

DUE SOLEMNITY ID
 BE ASKED OF PRESS
Bar Association to Recommend
 Steps in Court Publicity

Chicago. Jan. e3. --- As a means or eliminating the formulation of public opinion upon matters to bc judged by Juries alone, under CO., ordination of press and bar. com mlttees of the Chicago Bar AssocIa. |. ton are planning to recommend two new steps with relation 10 publicity jor court room trials, These arc the prohibition of the taktny Of photo. graphs Of court yom scenes and measures 10 ensure reporting Of judicial proceedings as solemn trials rather than theatricals.
 The Chicago Bar Association Record tn it's last issue saws:
 The prcsent-day practice in TO- porting sensational lawsuits in the pubic press is typiGed by the pub llcatlon of photographs of court room scenes, Tho attendant stories stress in like fashion those features which excite popular attention. This sating Of the public appetite Tor the unusual not only brings the Undesirable results incident 10 all scandal, but is peculiarly harmful in Its effect upon the administra- ton of justice
 Thus we find the presentation of trial in the light of a theatrical performance rather than dispas- sionate inquiry into the merits of the case. This is bound to lessen re- spect for the law and its instru- mentalities.
 Akin 10 this is the creation or an erroneous conception of the true working of the judicial machinery. Frequently there results the formu- latlon of public opinion upon a matter to be judged by the jury alone. And of course there is the catering to the public appetite for scandal, with the consequent detri- ment to the public welfare.
 Tt is believed that a co-ordinated effort on the part of the press and the bar will in time bring about the desired development in this impor- tant field of reporting, and that a uniform rule which will place all newspapers upon the same basis in this respect will be welcomed by them as well as by the bar.
 'The Chicago Bar Association, through Its committee on relations of the press to judicial proceedings and it's committee on the judiciary, now has this work in hand, and, as a flrS concrete measure, will di- rect it's efforts against the publica- ton of photograph of court room scenes. It is planned to recommend to the courts the adoption of rule prohibiting absolutely the taking of any photogra phs in court. Such rule would eliminate at once one of the most potent means of en- gazing the attention of the public. Next will come the proposal of measures to ensure the reporting of court proceedings, not as dramatic or bizarre incidents, but as solemn trials"
