The morning was used by Lam pere to establish his claim that Tom Bevins was mentally III during the last year of his life. To prove this he called the Bevins servants, persona friends. Dr. Kenneth Kelly was placed on the stand to testify to the nature of Tom Bevins' illness and to admit that such an illness could cause a mental reaction. even an ad- vanced state of dementia.
 That will be all" said Lampere.
 But, MT Lampere. objected Dr Kelly. "in testifying ! want it under. stood that where Tom Bevins was concerned"
 "That will be all" repeated Lam. pere. "I will call the next wit ness =" he glanced towards Judith she was trembling with indignation anger. Her wide grey eyes were bril- liant with tears.
 Miss Lane. -. beg your pardon Mrs. Dale, will you kindly take the stand%
 "VOUR Honor" Judge Morgan l was on his feet. facing the Judge by the time Lampere's voice had stopped. MT. Lampere forgets that my client is not the defendant His work here is to prove the fallacy of the will. not to persecute it's pres ent beneficiary"
 Judith touched his arm, "l don'i mind, Judge Morgan, I'm ready now."
 Judith took her seat looking a Lampere with calm gaze whicf should have been disconcerting.
 Miss, CT. Mrs. Dale, when dit you first meet Tom Bevins?"
 'I don't remember exactly"
 "Oh, come now, maybe l can re fresh your memory. What year dit you leave college?"
 But I'd met him years befor' that. He was my fathers partne when wasn't more than year old I believe my first recollection of hin was when l was five or six. H brought me doll and gave the fore mans boy toy engine with fla cars."
 "very pretty story" laughed Lam pere, then with elaborate sarcasm "and of course you can prove it."
 "Yes," answered Judith. and mo tioned Judge Morgan to hand her letter, yellowed with age.

A YEAR OF MANAGED MONEY.

The United States has been off the gold standard officially for slightly more than year. After a year of managed currency it is appropriate to notice of the results of this wholly new none tary policy. In broad terms, the management of the currency must be accounted success. While it is not possible to segregate the results of currency manipulation from the MIRA and Public Works and Civil Works programs it is reasonable to assume that the devaluation of the dollar has been one of the major factors in producing the recovery so far achieved.
 The most significant index of of our monetary policy of course, is the movement of prices. The dollar was devalued by fl per cent on the assumption that roughly comparable rise in prices might be anticipated The general level of commodity prices, indicated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics has not reached that level, nor, of course was it to have been expected in short a time. MT Roosevelt, himself, has said it would not be accomplished in day, but it would be long pull However, the general level has risen 2l.8 per cent which is a bad showing since the Bureau of Labor Statistics index is a very prehensive one, including many articles slow to show price movements.
 Particular groups of commodities are more sen- stve Textiles up 49 per cent in the year, leather 31 per cent. Food prices are up 20 per cent in line with the general average. Drugs, chemicals and metals have not risen as much as the average. Some few items have made spectacular increases from ridiculous low levels of year ago. Thus cotton is 73 per cent higher, crude oil AT per cent higher and wool 86 per cent higher
 These price improvements are tangible proof that our monetary policy, together with ready Govern ment spending is at least moderately successful in its major objective The general confidence exist ing in the banking system and currency is proof that the novel features of managed currency serious deterrent to the recovery of business In- deed, one may safely conclude that if all the Governments major policies are as nearly successful in their outcome the currency will not be a long time in reaching a very strong economic position.

Mysterious Death Pits of UT.
(New York Herald Tribune.)

It is a disappointment that pr. Woolley's latest report of the excavations at UT of the Chaldees,
 released last week by the Museum of the University lof Pennsylvania gives no new cew to the greatest lof Babylonian mysteries that of the lost religious beliefs of the Sumerans, traces of whose dramatic
 human sacrifices Dr. Woolley found two years ago in the so-called death pits of Urs most ancient lroya cemetery There now is little doubt that the graves of this cemetery date from somewhere close to $500 B. C. It is equally certain that the lost trace, whose kings and queens buried in these graves, had knowledge of the wheel, of the arch, Iof writing, of metal working and of irrigation. No known civilized people is old. It was half a millennium before there was anything comparable
 along the Egyptian Nile. Later stories of the Garden lof Eden and the Golden Age probably dim, distorted memories of the unknown homeland from
 which these first Sumerians migrated when they invaded the rude Babyonian marshes and brought fertilization to Ur
 In the tombs of these earliest royalties, found lby Dr. Wooley in previous years of work at UT, the most remarkable objects were the bones of Iscores of women and oxen, evidently sacrificed
 and buried purposely with their monarchs no doubt with some idea that their ghosts would serve the royal masters in some future life. Whatever shock
 the modern mind may feel at such cruelty, it is
 difficult to avoid concluding that the facts indicate
 some belief in immortality. Why otherwise should
 lit be necessary to murder living servants as retinua
 of the royal corpse? Still deeper is the mystery of
 how these victims died for Dr. Woolley finds evil
 dence that they were not buried alive or struck down violently Instead, the positions of bones,
 jewery, golden headgear and such traces of cloth ling as survive all indicate that each victim lay down or was laid down, in peaceful composure for leternal sleep
 Dr. Woolley's theory, rather the theory of Mrs Wooley which her distinguished husband has adopted is that the willing sacrifice was managed by painless poison or stupefying drink. What lever other objects may be near each victims skeleton, one is always small clay cup, from which this ultimate nepenthe perhaps was quaffed There seems chance here for some modern scen- ltifc detective One wonders what traces of opium lhasheesh some other ancient drug still might Ibe detectable in the bottoms of these fatal gobets by modern methods of microchemical analysis, such las those perfected by Professor E. M. Chamot of Cornell 3fT .f4t

"And then didn't you and Tom Beyins go into huddle and decide you were 70 come into his office at thS first opportunity
 s fNo." returned Judith. calmly. T only intended working at stenogra phy until l had earned enough to complete my college course" Then why didn't you do that, in stead of hanging around the million aire engineer?"
 Because after had worked there a short time realized l was learn ing more about engineering than l could learn in college. was earning as much as young woman engineer could learn and I was happy and contented."

Chapter 43 ON THE STAND

JUDITH arose and rushed away to J a far corner. She had no business listening. but to whom could he be talking? Judge Morgan probably. he would be interested it. how she was feeling.
 Later that morning, as she was dressing, she thought again of the conversation. The line, "she hadn't expected that kind of an attack" !" Well, she hadn't. She sent Delphy for the wide brimmed hat and pulled it low over her face. She would at least have that protection. if Lam.

 Come now, Mrs. Dale. do you mean you didn't accept money from him at the time?"
 q did not. 1 was very young and very proud. My father had gone against Big Toms advice in going to South America and had lost what money he had by doing so. felt it would be disloyal to my fathers memory to accept money"

 ''l didn't,"
 "Oh yes you did. You came down there bag and baggage. descended on Mrs. Bevins, and made yourself thoroughly at home. Didn't you, Mrs. Dale honest, now, didn't you?"

 But you didn't"

 No action of the Board will strike harder at the bootlegging trade than it's giving the legitimate business the right to operate without limitation to hours. Purchasers of liquor are not apt to turn illicit channels for supplies when they know they buy better quality goods at cheaper prices from the legal dealers. The Territory derives a revenue from the latter and none at all from the illicit seller It has every reason therefore to favor those who pay licenses and taxes by per mtting them all of the latitude possible so long it does not conflict with public interest In this instance, we believe, public interest ills advanced by the Boards policy and it would be retarded if limitation of hours were imposed

pere came in with other unjust ac cusations.
 At the court room she discovered that Lampere had moved the chairs of the Bevins women forward so that they faced Judith across a wide table. in fact. so that every time shp looked towards the jury box, her gaze would be intercepted by the hatred which seemed to dwell eter nally in Mathile's eyes.
 An old trick. we'll fix that" said Judge Morgan, and moved his eli ent's chair back to the end of the table so that she sat ir full view. bu, only by deliberately turning their backs to the judge, could the Bevins women stare their opponent out of cOuntenance

20 YEARS AGO
MAY 2, 1914
From The Empire

MAY 2, 1914
 Pronounced a tremendous success by all who attended, the May Day Ball. given the previous evening for the benefit of the library fund was also financially successful with over $500 netted for the fund. It was given by the Draper Club and great effort had been ex- pended to make it an outstanding social triumph. Miss Sylvia Kos key had made beautiful Queen of the May as she aScended the throne, attended by the Misses Georgia Caro and Helen Troy, with little Legia Kashevaroff and sNMadeline Valentine as fairies. The May Pole dance in which num- Der of society girls took part went off. with a smoothness which tok- ened careful training and practice under the direction of Miss Lavina Wilson and Miss Lorraine Andrews, instructors in the high school.
 B. M. Behrends had been award ed a swear contract beginning Oc- tober 1, 1914, to furnish the gov ernment building for the Juneau postoffice. The contract was to be accepted and construction started on the building to be located on Third Street between Seward and Main streets. It was to be so con- structed that it could be used for a mercantile establishment or of fices upon the expiration of the contract.
 Weather for the previous 24 hours was cloudy with rain. The maximum temperature was 59 de- grees and the minimum was 37. Precipitation was A inches.
 The city council revived the old chain gang ordinance at the coun- cil meeting the previous evening and the city marshal was directed to work city prisoners on the streets in the future.
 After a spirited contest and a deadlock of some weeks, William G. Mcbride was elected chief of police and city marshal of Ju- neau at the council meeting held the previous evening.

ENCOURAGING LEGITIMATE
 BUSINESS.

In quarters, it is said there is tendency to crticise the Liquor Boards regulation permitting retail liquor stores to remain open at all hours if they desire Probably this comes from two sources-frst those who directly affected by it, and second from those who feel that liquor traffic ought to be put under the most stringent regula- ton, Bootleggers whose own trade is largely piled

Mrs. Dale, prior to your marriage and when you were living in your pent house, was it not true that Tom Bevins was constant visitor there?"
 "Yes. he was," answered Judith readily. "the most welcome visitor who came."
 Mrs. Dale, would 1t embarrass you too much to tell the jury why MT. Bevins called on you so often?"
 No" Judith caught her under lip in a quick smile, "he came to eat slumgullion."
