AUTO HOMICIDE. CASE CONCLUDES
Accused Driver Took Stand To-day, Denied
 Driving on Wrong Side

Harold Paul, 28, charged with automobile homicide in the death of Mrs. Belle Futile, wife of City Treasurer Edward Futile, in an auto accident on Meriden road last Aug ust l, took the stand in his own defense in superior court this morn ing. The case was expected to go to the jury early this afternoon, States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis having almost completed his summary when court was recessed for an hour at noon.
 A verdict in the case was expect ed to be given by the jury this aft- ernoon, with only the summary by defense counsel, Attorney James Lynch, and the charge by Judge Frederick M. Peasley, before the jury began deliberations.
 Denied Charges
 Paul denied contentious by state witnesses that he was on the wrong side when the bakery truck he was driving struck @ passenger car op- erated by Helen Hurlbut on Meri- ueu IOuQ, uchT 4yleE 4hOucG ouUP' Paul claimed that he had to swerve because Miss Hurlbut's car was on the wrong side of the road. He de- nied the assertion of James Dunn, a state witness who testified yes- terday, that he appeared drowsy at the wheel about 8 mile from the scene of the fatal accident.
 The states contention is that Paul was dozing at the wheel as he drove along Merident road, and that he awoke startled when he heard Miss Hurlbut blow the horn of her car, and swerved his bak- rey truck into the passenger car.
 Rev. A. M. Dickenson, pastor of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church, testified as 8 character witt ness for Paul today. Another de- fense witness was Charles Clark of Southington, who said htat Paul was driving normally when he saw him 8 few minutes before the accident.

ALL-ALASKA REVIEW

Thirteen natives have scarlet fe- yer at Eklutna.
 Radio telephones have been es- tablished by the Territorial Road Board at Deering, Kenai and Ka- silof. and reports so far indicate the transmission is very satisfac- tory. Sets have been ordered for Hydaburg. Rake. Angoon, Hoonah and Jack Wade creek. The sets cost about $500 each and are au- ;horized by Legislative act.
 Rents and provisions in Nome are high and water retails at 50 gallons for S1, which makes bathing pro- hibitive. Men have been working as low as fifty cents an hour. The big companies are doing well but the man without capital has many drawbacks. Game is scarce as there are no caribou or moose to fill the sarder. Reindeer are plentiful, how ever. and retail at 9 cents a pound
 Gee Bee Rice, long time plumber and ex-ofTicio bear hunter of ]u- neau. has left Juneau for Death Valley, where he will go nudist inI an effort to get rid of a bad caseI of arthritis.

At any rate George will stop taking codliyer oil pills and nOstrums, and try Mother Nature.
 Ross A. Swift, engaged by Juneau council to eliminate unnecessary radio interference, stated at re- cent Chamber of Commerce meet ing that most of the radio noises were caused by a poor type of wir- ing and to a lighting system that isl not grounded. "The difference be- tween interference and set noises may be determined by leaving ev- erything else as it was with set turned on and removing the aerial connection. If the noises cease it isl the set itself" he said.
