 The coal will be stacked in the yards here in thousand tons, or more, lots ready for the fishing boats, Bureau of Education vessels. The Coast Guard. stores, canneries and residences.
 The railroad will build bunkers as soon as the tonnage justifies the expenditure.
 This new departure in the Al aska coal business vas made pos sible through contracts being sisn- ed between the canneries, and the Evans Jones Coal Company which mines high grade stesn coal at the .Matanuska held. coupled with the new rate granted of $1.5e per ton from the mine to tidewater.
 This allows the company to com pete with Outside shippers.
 A representative of the company is now in Seattle negotiating with canneries and other concerns and it is understood enough orders arc already signed up to insure con- siderable tonnage.
 Manager Ohlson is leaving to- morrow for Washington and is en- thusiastic over the arrangements as an entering wedge toward rail development. promising and in- creased railroad income. and the development of the Alaska Coal Fields. which, he says. was one of the first purposes of the Alaska Railroad.

MacGREGoR CASE CONTINUED

evidence that defendant had to dis prove chargee was smothered by ob- je,tions by government counsel. On the last day of the trial, the jury was ordered to retire by the court nc less than seven times when at to1neys sought to argue the admis- sibility of evidence both written and ora. Prosecution said it was not concerned with whether the money was spent for coal or smoking to-
 h9cco or whether there were moral turupitud involved or not. The fact they sought to present was that cer- tain money for coal was not spent for coal regardless of whether it was spent for the government or
 not In other words, as stated by witness for the government, the prosecution wanted to show that de- fendant spent federal money but re- fused to let him tell how it was spent when he was willing and urg~ l ing that he be permitted to shovE l to what legal uses it had been put. Toward the end of the case, Mac 1 Gregor took the stand in his own de- l fenee, when it was most pronounC-
 ca that prosecution was bent upon
 securing conviction rather than the
 scoring of justice.

Lupino Lane Comedies.

T UPINO LANE, whose costume and
- historical comedy productions were
quite successful last year. this season is
following the plan of doing a different
Characterization, with a new locale for
each picture.
His initial picture of his new program,
Pirates Beware" depicts his adven-
lures on a pirate ship with fair buc-
cancer and her gang of ruffianS. Lane
who won a name for himself as a stage
star abroad and in the Ziegfeld Follies
in this country even before joining Edu-
cational, is seen in this picture as
young tap boy in a village inn that is
often visited by roaming pirates. The
plot enables him to run wild through
the rigging of the old pirate ship, heave
mammoth anchors and cannon at the
mutinous crew and dash and leap To
victory over his enemies.
In "Fisticuffs,' the second new pro-
duction, he appears as a blackSmiths
apprentice and ring combatant in old
England of the early nineteenth CEN
tury. The climax of the funmaking
comes when he volunteers to substitute
in a fistic battle of those days when
opponents fought with their bare
knuckleS.
He takes a different locale and char
acter for his third comedy, BE My
King" which has been in production
during recent weeks. In this he is pic
tured as a sailor shipwrecked on a can
nibal isle. His fight to get away from
hostile head hunters and his adventures
with the islands wild beasts provide
many of the laughable moments.
