MERGER OF COURTS
OPPOSED BY BAR.
Federal Association Ad.
Vances Four Reasons for
Fighting Proposal.

Opposition to the proposed con-
solidation of the Court of Claims, the
Court of Customs, the Court of Gus
toms and Patent Appeals and the
Board Of Tax Appeals was expressed
yesterday by the Executive Commit
tee Of the Federal Bar Association.
The committee accepted the report
of the Administrative Law Commit
tee, disappearing the merger proposed
in bill introduced at the last session
of Congress by Senator Logan. Demo-
crat. of Kentucky. The committees
report recommended opposition to the
proposal on the following grounds:
First. that the plan would prove
unwieldy.
Second, that the Patent Law Asso-
citation, the Customs Bar Association
and the lawyers practicing before the
Board of Tax Appeals have diSap-
proved the proposed merger.
Third, that great expense would be
involved, since the plan would place
the functions Of all the courts under
40 judges, who would be forced to
travel from place to place.
FOURTH that there is no real
grounds for changing the present
set-up.
The Administrative Law Committee
of the American Bar Association has
been leading fight to obtain adoption
Of the merger plan. and the question
Is expected to be taken up at meet
ing of the House of Delegates of this
group in Columbus, Ohio, January

w WESTERN HIGH SCHOOL
M today offered some proof
" Of its reputation as a
training ground for mill
tary service when DR.. Elmer S. New
ton, principal. displayed to the stu
dent body joint Christmas card
that had attached the personal cards
of "a Western graduates, now men,
bers of the cadet corps at the United
States Naval Academy at Annapolis.
The card, unique because Of the
number of cards attached, is seventh
in an annual series that DR.. Newton
has received from midshipmen who
once did squads right and left on
Westerns parade ground.
The school long has been outstand-
ing among Washington institutions

drills, and with the revelation that "a
present Annapolis cadets took their
secondary training at Western. the
reputation of the school is even more
fully recognized.

In cadet competition locally, West
ern stands far and ahead of all the
other high schools. For more than q
decade Western has produced at least
one Of the winning companies and
sometimes two. The Allison Nailor
Medal, awarded annually to the cap
tain of the winning company, has
rested longer in the halls of Western
than any other of the city's high
schools
DR.. Newton displayed the Yuletide
greeting today, and explained that
while the "a boys at Annapolis were
able to get together for single greet
ing, "a more individual cards will be
received from the Western graduates
now members of the cadet corps Of
the United States Military Academy
at West Point. At West point, it was
explained, the cadets are not allowed
the freedom to get together that exists
at the Naval Academy.
Together the two national institu-
tons are now preparing Sc former

CHENA RIVER MAY
 SET 10-YEAR RECORD

The Cinema River will have to re- main open until after November z if a 10-year record is to be set, says the Fairbanks News Miner of Now ember 3.
 In 1926 the freeze-up was unusu- ally late and did not come until November T and that year and this are the only ones in the 10-year pe- riod when ice was not solid on the Cinema in October.
 Weather Bureau records go back only until l931. The latest freeze-up since then was October 31 in 1882 and the earliest October 18 in 1883. check of the News-Miner files re- veals the earliest freeze-up in the last 10 years to have been in 1928, when fingers of ice pushing out from either shore joined together on Oc- tober 6.
 Despite the relatively warm wea- ther considerable ice is running in the river today. But unless the tenn perature should drop it is likely the river will still be open on November

 TUESDAY NIGHT
Fast Card Reported Lined Women Fans Are
 Invited

When Monk Keaton's fighters start their hauling tomorrow night your thoughts will probably go back oo a night years ago, the night before the Armistice In the ring in the Elks Hall tomorrow night, there will be plenty of battle, such battle as Juneau fans perhaps will have never before seen.
 Monk was able to add an extra event to the already first class card, so instead of starting at 8:l5 as the tickets state, the show will com mence at 7.30 o'clock sharp. This will enable the miners on the grave yard shift to get to work on time.
 The added event will bring togeth- CT Alec Papp, two time finalist in Detroit's Golden Gloves Tourna- ment, and Ted Price, former cham pion of Chilkoot Barracks at Haines.
 The Championship of Alaska" contest has created considerable comment, and is being started with Ford Butler, former champion of Alaska, facing Wyoming's former state champion, Bob Cory in a six round contest. Mrs Butler will sec end Ford and in Cory's corner will be Art Griffins and Vince Farrow
 The slap, kick and slam artists will be led by Alec Demos, pride of Douglas and Yokuba Bombullevitch of Siberia. Demos will have many friends yelling for him. Yokuba, in spite of his name is quite a fa- vorite with the feminine population and is the recognized boxing and wrestling champion of Siberia.
 The semi-final will be crammed full of action with Big Bill Ewing ton, former football star and rough and tumbler wrestler pitting his knowledge and power against Rough House Doc Webb's experience and speed.
 In the main go, Cyclone Bill Wal thers will try to tear Texas Jack" apart in two hour contest. Both these ''rasslers" are full of speed and strength. Tex" has built con- siderable reputation by bending 120 penny nails in his hands, and Bill has his by lifting and moving a Waterliner Drill on a tripod in the mine. u takes men above the aver age to accomplish either of these feats Tex halls from Texas where he's never been beaten Bill was the Mountain States champion. This bout will settle many argumetns.
 For the boxing, Lee Dolan. ex- pugilist and promoter, will referee. Lee can and will see that the fight CTS abide by the rules.
 Joe LaRue, the spectacular rought and tumble street artist, will referee the "rassling," while he lasts in there. I've permission to tote a blackjack and I'm tellin's you mid dies, I'll use it on the first slap happy that gets tough" Joe says.
 The events will be over in plenty of time for the miners to make graveyard shift.
 Keaton sends a special invitation to the women sport fans to attend While the bouts will be crammed full of excitement, we'll have perfect order in the hall We want this show to be remembered as a clean and lively evening of entertainment. This town can stand clean sports and we'll do our best to give them plenty of thrills
 There are other events on the boxing bill that are also features in themselves.
