JUDGE w. HARDING
 RULES ALASKA JURY
 LAW, IS THE "BUNK''

That Alaska has no jury law eX- cept that which applies by act of congress to all federal courts was held at Ketchikan by Judge Justin w. Harding He said the legislative act of 1925, prescribing the manner of drawing juries in Alaska, is void.
 George B. Grigsby, attorney for H. $. Oyamada who is charged with assault, moved that the case be dis missed on the ground that the jury had been illegally drawn and not in accordance with the statute.
 The court took the matter under advisement for some 30 minutes and then denied the motion, stat ing that 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.
