as a result of the infrequent grand jury terms of court in Alaska the accused may sometimes be held in jail for nearly year before the grand jury has opportunity to decide whether or not to bring in a true bill or not against the prisoner.
 If the accused is found guilty this means that he has generally served a number of months in addition to the sentence the court may inn pose upon him at the trial. In such instances the court will sometimes recognize this and make adjustment for the time already spent in con- Iinement when sentence is pronuon- ced.

Living in the jungles, where there
are many quick -witted foes to contend
with, sloths have finally acquired a
coat and mode Of travel that work
together to camoufiage them, at least
from the jaguars and harpy eagles,
to mention two. This coat is of a
very shaggy appearance and coarse,
and when the sloth remains for so
long time in the deep, dank, moist
forests, green algae establish them
selves in the long grooves in the hairs.
When vast colony of algae is thus
established, the sloth's coat has q

Of the coat is so arranged on the

BALTIMORE, Sept. 2.-The New
ark Bears, a made-over ball club that
couldn't lose the championship touch,
were being hailed today as winners
and still champions" in the 1nterna-
tional League.
The Bears clinched their second
straight pennant last night when they
walloped the Baltimore Orioles, 90,
while the second-place Syracuse Chiefs
were losing to Jersey City by the same
score. As a result the Bears moved
15l2 games in front of the Chiefs with
IS games to play for each team.
Sporting new manager in Johnny
Neun, who replaced Oscar Witt when
the latter moved up to the Cleveland
Indians, a new infield and other
strange faces, the priced farm team Of
the New York Yankees jumped into
the lead at the very start Of the season
and never was headed.
Th only real battle left to be fought
before the play-of1s start is that be-
tween the Chiefs and Rochester Red
Wings for second place. The Bears
get $4,000 for finishing on top, and
the runner-up spot is worth half that.
Defeat by Jersey City left Syracuse
only one game ahead of the Wings,
who, along with the Toronto Maple
Leafs, were idle yesterday. In the
only other games, Montreal won q
double-header from Buffalo, ST. and
81.
