DEFENSE Wins
HOT CLASH in
RADICALS CASE
Jury Excused While At
torneys Argue Disputed
Point. =.

The state rested its case in
the trial Of nine alleged radi-
Gals shortly after 2:30 this af-
ternoon. Defense counsel i'm
mediately moved the court for a
verdict Of acqmttal on the
grounds of insufficient evi-
dence against the accused
The motion was denied and the
defense opened with Frank
Sklar, one Of the accused, as
the first witness.
A somewhat warm session this
morning between attorneys for the
defense and prosecution enlivened
the trial of nine indicted radicals
now being held in superior court be-
fore Judge Thompson, and injected
81 little life into proceedings which
have been rather dull.
The skirmish was the result OF
reading to the jury extracts from
certain pamphlets by District Attor-
ney Head. He had read one in par
ticular which dealt with the organ
ization and operations of the de-
fcnse league of the communist party
in which it was stated that workers
rust defend themselves by force if
necessary, against the activities OF
the capltalistic esements. Defense
Attorney Henderson objected that III
the reading of this passage the word
military was read instead of
militant,' and Head Immediately
answered that they were the same,
but the court upheld the objection
and instructed the jury to disregard
the comparison made between these
two words.
Henderson then asked that the
jury be excused for few moments
while a certain matter could be TAX
On up with the court. Judge Thomp-
son dismissed the jury and brought
up what he alleged were other errors
in the reading of these passages, es
pccially one which had 10 do with
flight police brutality,p and had
been read, Eight police" Tho
court then issued instructions that
all passages from this literature, in
I, t,oduced as evidence, must be read
exactly as they stand in the docu-
ments and furthermore that this
particular passage was to be reread
to the jury when they returned to
their seats.
Police Lieutenant VIM. Hyncs of
the Los Angeles police department
in charge of Investigations into com
niunnist activities in that city, was
on the stand all morning. In his
direct examination by the district
attorney, he testified to having con-
fiscated certain literature alleged to
belong to the communist party and
which the district attorney was us
ing to prove the illegality of the
Organization. He spoke of pampn-
let's having been sold at the head
quarters in Los Angeles.
Cross examination of this witness
began about 1890 o'clock this morn.

court adjourned .at noon. 1t was
brought out that Hynes had been an
under-coyer investigator for the po-
lice department for several years,
locking into the activities of com
munist and other similar organiza,
tions in Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES, June 10. W.R)--
S. c. Lewis, victorious in his trial
on Jury bribing charges, today was
on his way back to a federal prison
As the district attorney s office pre-
pared to take action on another ease

Lewis smiled broadly as he left
last night in custory of his prison
guards for Mcneil Island where he
must complete seven year sentence

FOR SAN DIEGO
DIRICIBLE BASE

WASHINGTON, June 10. U.H-
Efforts of the house naval affairs
committee to conclude hearings in
connection with selection of site
for the navy's new Pacific coast
dirigible base, failed today and
Chairman Britten announced the in
quiry would continue tomorrow and
probably Thursday.
Representative Swing, Rcpubl'
lean, California. who is championing
the proposal to locate the base at
Camp kearny, near San Diego
Calif., took charge of the hearing
today, introducing two witnesses
who stressed advantages offered by
that site over those at Sunnyvale il
the San Francisco area.
Ivan Goodwin, consulting engi
necr for the Los Angeles Chamber
of Commerce, said 97 per cent of the
oil produced in California came
from the southern section, and that
in time of war Los Angeles prob
ably would be called upon for the
Pacific fleets fuel supply.
DIR. Ford A. Carpenter, consult
ing mcteorologist, reported observa
tions taken in the vicinity of tho
two sites proposed, indicating CAM
kearny was better adapted to the
needs of lighter-than-air craft.
Representative Free, Republican
California, who is leading the Sun
nyvale proponents, concluded sum
nation of his case by presenting
Mcndall Thomas, secretary of the
Santa Clara County Chamber OF
Commerce. Thomas spoke briefly

WICKERSHAM IN
BOLD ATTACK ON
PROHIBITION LAW

BOSTON, June 10. U.R)-George
w. Wickersham, chairman of Pres
ident Hoover's law enforcement
commission, became a central fig
ure in the bitter wet-dry controver-
sy today through his criticism of
Americas prohibition system.
Wickersham's attitude was re-
vealed unexpectedly last night in a
speech before 5000 social workers
attending national conference
here. 1t was the first open attack
on the dry laws, as they are admin
istered in this country today, by
a member of the Hoover commits
sion.
Although he did not espouse the
wet cause, Wickersham indicated he
believed the present prohibition
laws in the United States were too
harsh and that they had failed of
their objective because they had
stressed punishment rather than the
education of the country to the
idea of Temperance.
"Thc penalties" he said in refer
ring to the provisions of the Jones
"five and ten" act, care in the ma
ture of vengeful reprisals upon
those who question the legislative
wisdom of the legislation"
The United States, he said, might
profit by lessons learned in England
and Wales, where, he claimed, edu-
cation has brought about increased
temperance. He declared h "a t
force had been used to compel OBJ.
servance of the dry laws since their
adoption, and that the educational
methods previously maintained had
been abandoned.

BUCHAREST, June lO-Problems
of political and domestic harmony
confronted King Carol II today as
he attempted to give Roumaina the
prestige of internal unity, and to
gain a queen.
Princess Helen's refusal so far to
take back as husband the man who
abandoned her for an auburn haired
commoner, threatened to send Carol
to his October coronation without q
queen to share the throne.
Of even greater importance to
Roumania s welfare was the renew
ed threat of political dissension,
coming from leaders of the Liberal
party, which has consistently OPP
posed Carols return, and which
brought about the regency at the
late King Feridnan s death.
The Liberals have split completely
over Carols successful coup 'etat.
Carol kept his hand carefully out
o. the Liberals troubles, and devot-
e6 his energies to promoting a gov
ernment representing as nearly as
possible all the numerous political
elements which have kept Roumania
in a turmoil since the World war.
He consulted parsonage after per-
sonage, seeking for the proper man
to head the new government with
out dissolving the Parliament which
gave him the kingdom Sunday.
1t was considered almost certain
that MANU-, leader of the powerful
National peasant party and former
premier, would finally be commits
stoned to form the government.
Manu- and his party were largely
instrumental in returning Carol to
Roumania.
PARIS, June 10. U.P(-Madame
ZiZi Lambrino, whose marriage to
King Carol III of Roumania, was an
nulled 10 years ago, declared today
her intention of returning to Rou-
mania in July in the hope that Carol
will educate her son, Mircah.
Madame Lambrino said she was
taking her son to her family estate
in northernn Roumania but will re-
turn here in September. Mireah, 10
years old, greatly resembles Crown
Prince Michael, son of Carol and
Princess Helene and has a great af-
fection for his half brother with
whom he desires TO spend the sum
mer.
Madame Lambrino, whose efforts
TO force Carol to aid in educating
their son were defeated in the
French courts in 1928, married Carol
at Odessa in 1918. Mrcah was born
in January, 1920. The royal fam
lily forced Carol to annul the mar.
riage.

Japanese halibut must land at Seattle. The only immediate relief would be for the American fishing interests to ship via Prince Rupert and thus gain the two day advantage to eastern markets which that port fur nishes.
 Ketchikan could be terminal point via Prince Rupert, 90 miles distant, exactly as Seattle is a terminal port via Vancouv- CT, B. C., no miles distant. There is no reason why the warehouses should not be in Ketchikan in- stead of in Seattle. The saving would be in the freight from &c., attle to Ketchikan-$8 on an of- flee desk; $50 on a Ford, etc.

 "The Empire has always in- sisted that the powers given the people of Alaska in the govern ment provided by Judge Wicker sham's Organic Act were so 'neager, so much less than those given the people of other Terri tories, that We have not real Home Rule, and will not have it until Congress can be induced 70 give us what President Taft and President Wilson called the full Territorial form of govern ment. Juneau Empire editori- al.
 Even so arguendo, this same organic act gave us the right to elect a Territorial Treasurer, The Empire fought this propos- al to the last.
 This same Act gave us the right to elect our own Auditor, and yet the Empire opposed that measure of self-government.
 This same Act gives us the right to manage our own Pio- neers' Home, and the Empire fought that and with their friends gave this duty to the federal governor.
 This same Act has given us the right to manage every form Of strictly Territorial activity, (the Fairbanks College, the Ter 1;rorial Fish Commission, ter r!torial fish hatcheries, old age pension funds, indigent funds, etc.), and yet the Empire has al- ways opposed control of these activities by persons or agencies elected by the people of Alaska.

 In re: 4th: The great com monwealths of Washington and Oregon permit only residents of 12 or more months to fish in their respective waters. We hope the Senators and Representa- tives from these States will sup port our recommendation and that the rest of Congress will see that if it is good business tor these great states to protect their citizens, it would be good business for Congress to give Us the same protection.

 In re 9th: The Bureau of Fish cries enforces this rule against seines and gill-nets, but not against traps. This is a discrim- ination.

WHY ALASKA'S CAUSE IS
 JUST

Common law is constantly being pushed out of it's place by the creation of commissions which directly or by indirect means are given power of courts and decisions and issue regu- iations." = Richard Washburn Child, one-time ambassador.
 Going further in his arraign- ment of the nullif1cation of the common law, MT. Child says:
 No small danger attendant on this reaction. is the growth of bureaucracy. :"
 The second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence points:
 Prudence, indeed will dictate that governments long estab- lished should not be changed for light and transient causes.'
 The same document observes that mankind are more dispos- cd to suffer, while evils are suf- ferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed"
 Possibly that is why the saf- iron hue overcasts Alaskan poli- ticians, or alleged politicians they have so long been accus- toned to the arrogance of bu- reaucracy that they refrain from taking up the cudgel in. an effort to strike the shackles
