CIRCUIT COURT AFFIRMS CASES
 FROM JUNEAU
Judgment and Sentence e Upheld Tn Matth ews,
 Breed, Wagner Cases

Judgment and sentence of the United States District Court of the First Judicial Division of AL aska in the cases of the U. s. svs. Cliff Matthews; U. s. vs. Frank Breed; U. S. vs. Wagner, ct al was affirmed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco, Cal, according to a radiogram re- ceived last evening by Attorney George B. Grigsby who with Hell lenthal and Hellenthal, represented the defendants
 These cases, which were appealed by the defendants last spring, were argued in San Francisco on June 3 of this year with former United States Attorney Howard D. Stabler presenting the arguments for the Government and MT. Grigsby rep resenting the defendants.
 Though the ground, on which the Judgment and sentence of the Unit ed States District Court in these cases was affirmed, was not con tained in the radiogram received by MT. Grigsby, the point in question in these cases was the validity of Chapter 100, Session Laws of All asks, enacted in 1881, which re- quired that at least four -fifths of the names of all persons who had voted at the previous general Ter ritorial election be in the jury box for all drawings of grand and petit jury panels, MT. Stabler, who is now in the private practice of law here, said today.

NEW YORK, May Grading on the
Cotton Exchange today reached the
largest proportions in several years and
the market absorbed an enormous guam
tity of contracts within range of a

points of the 9-cent level for October,
the market set back under heavy week
end profit taking, but ended with a
gain of to 7 points on the day. Spots
were advanced points to $50.
AS has been the case on each up
ward swing throughout the week, the
market met liberal realizing by previous
buyers anxious to secure profits and
ticularly banking institutions liquidat-
ing cotton held as collateral. Con-
tracts we're taken on moderate recess
Sions
According to estimates prevalent in
dry goods quarters, while active specu-
fation has been in progress the past
fortnight or more, the bulk of buying
power has come from the trade itself
The scarcity Of goods on retailers
shelves has been a subject of COM
ment during the steadily declining
prices Of the past two years and efforts
TO secure even approximately normal
reserves nave resulted in cleaning up
stocks in first hands and bringing so
large volume of orders to mill organ
1zations that heavy buying Of raw ma
terial has resulted.
Spot sales at Southern markets for
nve days aggregate 10000 bales as
compared with only $4,000 last year,
while more cotton was moved from the
interior during the week than at this
eaAson in many years. Spinners' TAX
hgs ran heavily ahead of last season
and the year before. Initiation, actual

NEW YORK, May eff imitation Is
to cure or alleviate many of the dis
tressing conditions now prevailing, II
cannot fail to make its impression on
one of the sorest spots in the invest
ment market-namely, that represent
ing municipal bonds.
After the bank holiday" there was
q sharp increase in the number of de-
faults by municipalities. Many cou-
pons payable April were returned to
bondholders marked mo funds" It Is
expected that there will be additional
defaults owing to the fact that money
which municipalities had set aside for
meeting their maturing obligations Is
in banks still closed or operating on a
restricted basis.
This has created q new problem for
the officials Of cities, towns and coun-
ties to solve. It increases the embar-
rassment that had already faced them
in the difficulty of collecting taxes with
which to pay coupons on bonds and
notes falling due. The list Of local gov
crnmentS now in default in this coun-
try Is over 900. It includes about 300
cities and towns, ITS counties, lao
school districts, nearly $50 special as
sessment and taxing districts, and one
State.
This situation, like many others, is
closely linked with the question of in
fation. Primarily the difficulties of
municipalities are the result of failure
to collect taxes sufficient to cover local
expenditures, including the item Of in
terest and principal on local debts: This
Is always sequel of a period Of de-
preston when the wages or incomes Of
property owners are reduced to point
where they cannot cover their tax quo
tas. Those who advocate imitation ar
que that it permits these property own
ers to liquidate their unpaid taxes as
employment expands and the profits
from services and from business gener-
ally increase.
There is Of course. another funda-
mental element in the municipal bond
situation-the overproduction Of securi-
ties when times were good and extrava-
gance In public improvements was the
order Of the day.

RISE IN TIRE PRICES
Is FIRST FOR YEAR
Mark-up Was Induced By Recent
Advances in Quotations foq
Rubber and Cotton.
Special Dispatch 10 The Star.

opeSldI DlSpatch 10 Inc star
NEW YORK, May 6.-Higher tire
prices asked by mail order and other
large distributors, starting today, marx
the first upturn revision since last June,
when the Federal tire tax was imposed.
This advance in tire quotations,
which does not bring them to a level
as high as last June, reflects rising
prices OF commodities, especially crude
rubber and cotton tire fabrics. Crude
rubber is now selling around Az cents
pound. This contrasts with 298
cents on March %, when tire prices
were lowered to meet mail order COM
petition. The record low price for
crude rubber this year was reached
February 81 at 2.81 cents a pound.
Standard tire fabric descriptions,
such as the 23s, 5-3 ply, Lie inches
staple cotton tops. American carded
peeler cords, today are quoted at 2212
to 2312 cents yard. Although NOM
inally this price is unchanged from
March %, actually the tire fabric deal
ers were making sales around 20 to
2212 cents at that time.
With crude rubber fully ~ cents q
pound higher and tire fabrics on the
average cent yard higher, tire
prices were naturally in line for an
advance.
