SINCLAIR FAILS IN HIS
 EFFORT TO GET TRIAL
He Sells Police His Banned Book But Judge Refuses to
 Try Him.

Boston. June 21 (UP)-Upton Sinclair today had another disagree ment with the Massachusetts courts.
 He wanted to be prosecuted as . naughty novelist-but his status as Puritan" thrust upon him by Floyd Dell. his blographct, remain ed unchallenged.
 Municipal Judge Michael Creed refused to try him after he had sold police a copy of his new and locally suppressed novel, "Oil," in an at- tempt to become defendant in a test case of a court decision that had chased his book as "obscene."
 It was Sinclair's second disap- pointment at the hands of the law within . fortnight. The first was when Sinclair, after hurrying here from California, was denied the right to testify at the preliminary hearing in the case of John Gritz, Beacon Hill book clerk. who was arrested for selling "Oil."
 The reason for Judge Creed's dis missal of the Sinclair case today was that Gritz's case already was awaiting Nearing before superior court and hence there was no need of a second test case.

 TON IN ALASKA AFFAIRS

The situation in the Territory has been carefully studied and it is believed simplified methods in handling Gov ernment affairs in Alaska with greater local authority would bring more ef6cientn government at less cost The possibilities of co-opera- lion between the departments of h. terior, Agriculture and Commerce will be extended under the new plan of administration with assured econ ora yand efficiency in handling the work A study is no wunder way for the purpose of proposing to the next Congress a single law-enforcement agency in the Territory comparable to the State police forces maintained so successfully in number of States.

Additional ap- propriations for the Bureau of Edu- cation to enable the building and equipping of one or more isolated wards for tubercular patients. 2. Enlargement of the station at Panama by providing home For defective children; an isolation ward for con- tagious diseases, and an industrial school. 3.
