It is to be hoped that the
measure will be put through

would mean much for Alaska
Resolved, -That the Secretary
of the Navy be, and he is here
by, requested, in so far as it
may be compatible with th?
public interest, to inform Hie
House of Repesentatives
what examination of the coal
fields of Alaska has been made
to ascertain the extent and
character of the naval coal
there; what tests have been
made on naval vessels and
otherwise to ascertain if said
coals are fit for naval use, ord
what the result of such tests
is; whether there is any other
naval coal on the Pacifac coast
in American territory, which
in quantity and quality com
pares with that in Alaska; how
the naval coal in Alaska com
pares in fuel value for naval
and military use with the coal
now in use by the Navy;
whether the naval coal in
Alaska can be mined and de

Pacific at a cheaper rate than

Alaska needs a jury reform
that has been adopted by
several states, and that is a
prevision that in civil actions
nine or ten jurors may return
a verdict. As it stands now a
bloated corporation that is
trying to beat some poor
devil that it has crippled for
life by its criminal negilence
out of a fair compensation for
damages, can defeat a recov
ery by geting one or two stool
pigeons on the jury, says an
exchange. I n Washington
10 jurors can return a verdict
in a civil case. Utah, in the
n in lies, passed a law authoriz
ing a verdict by nine jurors
in civil actions. When the
territory became a state the
constitution provided for a
jury of eight, and permitted
six to return a verdict in civil
actions were upheld by the fed
eral supreme court. At pres
ent in Alaska one or two jurors
can go into a jury room, jump
up and down and crack their
heels and announce that the
verdict has got to go their way
or there will be no verdict.
And what are you going to do
about it? Just one thing can
he done. Enact a law that two
or more jurors shall not count
for more than ten or nine. -Ex.
