DRY AGENTS TO DON
 CAPS AN DSHIELDS

WASHINGTON.- Com missioner Doran announced today that that all prohibition agents pa- trolling highways will soon wear dis tinctive caps and "pieplate" shields, so that motorists they halt may not mistake them for holdup men.
 This, he hopes, will put an end to such "regrettable incidents" as dry agents recent shooting of motorists who ignored halt orders and sped away.
 "The dry agents new cap, of dis tinctive color and design yet to be chosen, will be seen at once by the motorist," Doran said. "The shield will further identify the agents. If the motorist then fails to stop, it will not be because he fears holdup, but because he perhaps he carrying liquor he wishes to conceal"
 Doran added he believes it will be difficult for highwaymen, posing as prohibition officers, to initiate the caps and shields.
 A short but graphic telegram out lining the precarious condition of Jacob D. Hansen, prominent Niagara Falls citizen, who was shot down by coast guardsmen two weeks ago, was read to the Senate by Senator Royal c. Copeland, of New York. Here is the message:
 Jacob D. Hansen is alive. His eyes are shot out. He is blinded for life. The bullet is still in his brain. At times he is conscious, but his condi- tion is preearious."
 The Senator also read other com munications from New York citizens protesting against the lawless acts of prohibition enforcement personnel to impress upon the Senate the serious ness of the present enforcement situ- ation.

ASKS CHANGES IN LOCATION
 LAW FOR GOOD OF ALASK A
(Fairbanks News Miner


 With Governor George Parks, Jim Wickersham, former Delegate, and Henry Roden, the author, all agree ing that the law of 1912. limiting the mining locations in Alaska, is all wrong and ought to be repealed, maybe we'll do something about it and help Alaska out again. Dan Sutherland had his wireless up, try ing to find out where the wind blows. He says in wire to me from Wash ington that if the people of the Ter ritory want the measure repealed he will do all he can to have it done. 1 think we ought to get up monster petition that will leave no doubt how the prospectors feel on the subject
 Frank Manley, one of the big op- orators of the camp in the early days, who also has diggings in the Iditarod, !, believes that the present limitation in the Territorial laws regarding locaton of placer ground is holding back the development of the Territory.
 Outside, where they can travel several hundred miles by automobile in day." he says, 'they can stake all the ground they want under the old association law, but up here where we may have to struggle through moss and muck up to our necks, we rant stake more than 80 acres in one month. To do even that we have to have power of attorney for 40 acres. "If anybody asks you what's the matter with Alaska, just say it's our present location law. The prospector can't take up enough ground to make it worth while going out. People might say Pm trying to grab lot of ground for myself. We'll, supposing 1 could locate enough to start a, pro- ject, wouldn't it be better to put peo- pie to work there where there are no people working now. For fifteen years I have known of two creeks. 15O miles from anywhere, which would have staked and drilled if the law would permit stalking the ground in contiguous claims so tha- tthe whole could be worked in one opera tion.
 "In Canada" continued MT. Manley, "where a creek has been staked and abandoned they will give you a con- cession in order to stimplate activity. They will even give you special rights on a new creek. Here, you can't take up sufficient ground in one piece. Other rights might intervene between your locations. which pre- vents you interesting any big amount of capital in the plan you have in mind"
 MT. ManIey referred to the Terri torial act of 1913, supplementing the laws of the United States, placing a limit on the stalking of placer ground, and which went into effect after Au- gust, 1912. Henry Roden was author of the bill. and Wickersham backed it. "Jim told me-" said Manley, "that at that time he believed all the .coun- try was so rich that 40 acres :. was enough for any man. He has found out otherwise and, now. believes that the law should be repealed"
 In his wire to Manley. Dan Suther- land stated that he wanted so learn the sentiment of Alaskans in regard to the features of the mining locatSsn
