JURY LAW HELD TO BE INVALID
 IN RAPE CASE
Harding Says Alaska Jury Law Is Void in Oyamada
 Case Oyamada Guilty

H. s. Oyamada was yesterday found guilty at Ketchikan of as- sault with intent to commit rape on two small girls, according tc telegraphic dvices received by United States Marshal Albert White. Sentence has not beer pronounced by District Judge Jus. tin W. Harding.
 Oyamada was represented by George B. Grigsby, prominent Ketchikan attorney, and United States Attorney H. D. Stabler head ed the prosecution.
 Jury Law Invalid
 MT. Grigsby attacked the man. ner in which the petit jury was drawn for the Ketchikan term oi court at the outset of the case. He moved for dismissal of the case on the ground that the jury had been illegally drawn and not in accord with the Territorial statute.
 iAS iACoSllihdll SllI lIOillClt, ItpOIJ- ing the case, said Judge Harding denied the motion holding that Alaska has no jury law except that which applies by act of Congress to all Federal courts. He held that the jury law passed by the Alaska Legislature in 1925 was void.
 The Chronicle said.
 "The Court took the matter un- der advisement for some 30 min utes and then denied the motion, stating he believed the law passed by the Legislature of Alaska with reference to juries is unconstitu- tional in that, in his opinion, Con- gress in the enabling act, the con- stitution of the Territory, did not empower the Legislature to enact such legislation"
 Exceptions Taken
 MT. Grigsby asked for and was allowed exceptions to the ruling. Whether or not he will make this the basis of an appeal was not in- dicated.
 Copies of Judge Harding's ruling were mot available here. Local at torneys declined to comment on it until they had seen it.

cieties that adjudged his appointees wholly unqualified for office." One city voters league, however, paid him this compliment: By his leadership and judicious use of the veto he has done much to make up for the shortcomings of one of the worst city councils Chicago ever had"
 An accusation by the federal dis trict attorney in 1926 that the city administration was winking at the liquor law violators aroused the civic and official pride of Mayor Dover. He stormed down to Wash ington to offer testimony before a senate committee Investigating pro- hibition enforcement and attracted national attention by his vigor- ous defense of his administration and his city. He insisted that Chicago was law-abiding city and arraigned county officers for pas sive prosecuting" bootleggers.
 Although an ardent foe of prohi- bition, Mayor Dever had decreed that there would be no "pussyfoot- ing" in law enforcement. During his term as mayor 1000 saloons were closed.
 Having reached the age of 65, Mayor Dever was an unwilling can- didate for reelection and was de- feated by his predecessor, William Hale Thompson, who had the sup port of united Republican ranks. As he stepped down Mayor Dever ut tered a lament that racial, religi- ous and group intolerance too often guide the voter" adding T hope to see the time when one asking the responsibility of governing the people of Chicago must go to the people with proof of moral charac- ter and technical ability to meet the vast problems of our city"
 As Judge Dever sitting in the Superior Court and as presiding justice of the Appellate Court 13 years he consistently upheld the dignity of the bench. Although the opportunities for getting in the limelight were numerous he all ways remained in relative obscur- ity even when presiding over sen sational cases or other litigation attracting wide attention, such as the trial of the White Sox players growing out of the worlds series scandal of 1919 and that of former Senator Lorimer in connection with the failure of his LaSalle Street bank.
 William Emmet Deyer was born at Cummingsville, Mass, March 13, 1862, the son of Patrick J. and Mary Lynch Dever. He was edu- cated in the public schools of Wo- burn, Mass, where he engaged in the leather manufacturing business with his father. He continued in that business with other com panies after going to Chicago. Meanwhile. he attended the Chicago College of Law and upon his grad

 St. Bonaventure College of Buff falo conferred the degree of doc tor of laws on Judge Dever. It was in the chapel of the college that Judge and Mrs. Dever were married.

ELECTRICAL REFRIGERATION
Cellars, Window Boxes Are Inad-
equate-Are Being Discarded

Growing public appreciation of
the Importance Of refrigeration to
proper food preservation, is evi-
dent in the phenomenal growth Of
the electric refrigeration industry
as well as the increase in the per
capita consumption of ice, accord
ing to John E. Wilson, local Frigi-
daire representative. Scientific
discoveries, bulletins broadcast by
the United States public health
Service, u. S. Department of Agri
culture, and other public agencies,
have brought people TO the reali-
ization that proper food preserva-
ton depends upon refrigeration,
where constant low temperatures
are assured. No longer are back
porches, window boxes and cellars
considered adequate. Makeshift
methods are being discarded" AS
an example of how the public is
turning to the modern methods,
the local Frigidaire represen-
tative pointed out that the busi-
ness done by that company has
enjoyed a tremendous increase.
Every month of 1929 has shown a
substantial increase over the busi-
ness done in the same month of
1928, he said. Shipments of house,
hold refrigerators from the factor
les at Dayton, Ohio. during the
first six months of this year were
112 per cent greater than they
were during the first half of 1928.

CELEBRATION OF FIFTEENTH
ANNIVERSARY

Rev. John r. West, pastor of Union
Baptist Church at Amelia Courthouse
celebrated his fifteenth anniversary
during the week of May goth. The
high type of services held on that
Sunday placed general stamp OF
love and approval on the most able,
Rev. West. - SE
Some of the best talent Of the COM

on the program. In the afternoon
service Miss Dorothy Johnson was
Mistress of Ceremonies. Excellent
papers were read by Mrs. Claiborne,
Mrs. Cooper and Mrs. M. A. Richard
son, the latter serves in the public
schools of Amelia. Beautiful solos
came from Miss Rosa Robinson and
Mr.. M. X. Baily (Mr. Bailey is like
wise a teacher). These most wonder
full numbers having been preceded by
cordial welcome from Mrs. Booker
and an equal response from Mrs.
Scruggs paved way for the fine SER
mon then delivered by-Dr. F. W. Viii
liams, pastor Of Fourth Baptist
Church, Richmond. DR.. Williams treat
ed his text with his usual skill and
thoroughness. His opening remarks
caused the great congregation to stop

Rev. West, who has made for himself
home-of which none need be
ashamed-in the community, has
brought his church to become second
to none with that grand spirit of love
existing, while he himself is consider
ed by many a landmark. This last
truth was evidenced by the greetings
and remembrances received by Rev.
West and the church from friends and
members in many sections of the
country as we'll as from those at home.
Memory of that grand celebration,
will linger long in the minds of friends
and members of Union Baptist

w. T. FRANCIS DIES OF YELLOW
FEVER
u. S. Minister 10 Liberia Succunb,
at Monrovia After Months
Illness

Washington,- July I5.-Wiiliam T.
Francis, Of ST. Paul Mimi, Ameri-
can Minister resident and Consul
General to Liberia, died this morn
ing at Monrovia of yellow fever. He
was the only negro Minister in the
American diplomatic service, having
been appointed on July 9, 1927, by
former President Coolidge.
Mr.. Francis was taken i'll on June
16, and until the last few days hopes
for his recovery were held out. His
heart, however, failed to respond to
stimulants on Saturday, and the
State Department was advised today
that he died this morning at 5 o'clock.
He was born in st. Paul, where
for many years he was prominent
member of the bar.
Secretary Stimson sent message
of sympathy to Mrs. Francis, who
was with her husband at Monrovia.
In giving it out, he said: "This tele-
gram represents the feelings of all
who had opportunity to know about
the splendid work Mr.. Francis was
doing in Liberia" 1t reads as fol
lows:
my deepest sympathy goes out to
you in your great sorrow. The tragic
death of Mr.. Francis deprives the
United States of one of its most able
and trusted public servants. His not
able achievement in furthering rela-
tions between this country and Libe-
ria will not be soon forgotten, and his
loss will be most keenly felt by all
who were associated with him in the
department and in the foreign ser
vice"
