WASHINGTON, June 5.-P1-The
case against Robert W. Stewart for
refusing to answer questions In the
senate Continental Trading company
inquiry, was rested today by the gov
eminent, and the defense got under
way Immediately.
The government introduced several
routine documents before giving way.
Frank j. Hogan, counsel for Stewart,
then launched into an argument
against holding Stewart accountable
for each refusal TO answer q specific
question. He recalled that Stewart
had refused to answer the same two
questions in two successive days. and
contended that under the law this did
not justify the four counts for re-
fusing which are included in the in
dictment. The jury was excluded
during Hogan's argument.

Flashes Of Life

NEW YORK.-What this country
needs, in the opinion Of John Erskine,
author, musician and teacher, is more
good music teachers in the high
schools and fewer cheer leaders 20
lead the singing OF silly songs.
PHILADELPHIA-Leslie Taylor, 90
year-old Englishman, will have time
in the ~hoosegow to consider whether
his opinion as to American justice is
correct. He wrote in a diary that
punishment in the United States Is
light Sentencing him for the theft
Of an automobile, Judge Gordon said:
II am going 10 send you 20 Jail to
show you that American justice il
stern, and after serving time there
you viii be depcrted."
NEW Y0RK-There's such a thing
as being altogether too sarcastic
about unsatisfactory new shoes. A
f0rniture merchant put his in his
show window with placards telling
what he thought about them. The
shoe dealer obtained an injunction.
CHICAGO-Happy when pinched,
happy when hitehed. John Walter
lNcCann, wealthy San Francisco youth,
was married In Judge BorelIi's police
court TO Miss Marion MI. Balerio. The
Judge once was 80 nice about speeding
that Mccain wished to appear before
MIN again.
KIEL-The Imperial Yacht club,
which had its heyday when Wilhelm
Hohenzollern was kaiser. refuses 20
change It's name. Therefore the gov
eminent has ordered all army and
navy members 70 resign.
UTRECHT, Holland-A ~spirster
here has eight pet cats which have
three meals a day with her. She
kisses them all good night. A maid,
ordered to do the same, threw up her
lob, and the mistress had her in court
3or quitting without notice. The maid
won.
HASSELT, Belgium-The district
agricultural chamber hereafter will
let June bugs bite rather than revive
an extinction scheme that worked too

VALDEZ GREEK HAS
 PROMISING OUTLOOK
 IN OPINION P0WLEss

Of all the knocking about Alaska l.. Nou) A. Powless has done-travel- ing, not using the hammer-the only mining proposition he ever run up against personally that looked good to him was the Valdez creek strike of three years ago. That's what he informed The Gateway yesterday upon being invited to say something for publication about the new camp which been the magnet to interest so many oldtimers. He has been in Alaska for 11-years and though he had seen a number of likely looking prosjects, yet never did he feel the impulse to drop everything and take~a chance until he became interested in the Val deg Creek ground
 Now that he is, he is sticking with it to- the finish, such is his confidence. There are five veins of free milling ore on the ground averaging in width from three feet to the almost unbe- lievable width of 3S feet. The assays bring s7.OO to s296 ton.
 It is the intent, MT. Powless said, to sled in supplies this winter and in the spring start development work. When asked about a mill on the ground he said the company is profit ing by the experiences of other mining outfits and in this connection they do not propose to even think about pur- chasing a mill until such time when the development work has revealed the character of the ore, and it is blocked out. At that time the sort of mill they want will be determined.
 Mr. Powless has been prospecting about in that district, also carrying on development work on the claims for the last three years. Valdez Creek is an approximate 60 miles Beast of Cantwell, Alaska Railroad. Since the advent of his company into the region it has been the scene of considerable activity not only by his company but by many other mining men and it is known the entire district is looked with favor.
 Heading the company known as the Alaska Range Mining & Development Co.,, Inc, is Harry I. Staser, deputy U. s. marshal at Anchorage, as pres ident Noel w. Smith, general man. l ager of the Alaska Railroad, vice pres ident; and MT. Powless, secretary treasurer, and incidentally, the most active member of the organization.
