LOCAL BAR
The Anchorage Bar Association
held an important meeting Monday
and passed a set of resolutions peti
tioning the powers that be for the
erection of an adequate court building
in this city. They ask for assistance
and support of the local bodies and
that the people of Anchorage in gen
eral use their influence to bring about
this much needed court building. A
copy of the resolutions follows:
Resolutions Anchorage Bar Associa
tion.
Whereas, the civil and criminal law
business in the town of Anchorage is
rapidly increasing, and is already
greater than that of the average town
of its size; and
Whereas, there is no court house in
the community and no accommoda
tions for a court except the public
halls and vacant store rooms in the
place; and
Whereas, this condition greatly
handicaps court proceedings and the
administration of justice, resulting in
juries being confined for long periods
in cold buildings without any comforts |
whatsoever; and
Whereas, the government of the
United States has reserved from sale
land sufficient for the erection of a
suitable court house building, with ac
commodations for a court room,
judge’s chambers, offices for the clerk
of the court, district attorney, U. S.
Marshal, U. S. land office, and com
missioner and ex-officio recorder for
the precinct, Now, Therefore,
Be It Resolved, that it is the sense
of the Anchorage Bar Association
that the immediate needs of the town
of Anchorage require a court house
building suitable for the accommoda
tion of the officers and officials here
inbefore mentioned, and sufficient for
the convenient and proper dispatch of
the business not only of the present
population but of the probable in
crease within the years to come.
Be It Further Resolved, that we so
licit the aid of all publications of the
city and the civic and fraternal bodies
and organizations as well, and that a
committee of three be appointed to
see that it is done.
That copies of these resolutions be j
forwarded to Alaska’s delegate in con
gress, the Alaskan Engineering Com
mission, Attorney general, judge of
the district court, senators and repre
sentatives in congress from the state
of Washington, and that we put forth
every effort to secure the desired re
sult.

MT. LINCOLN INSTEAD
OF RAINIER FAVORED
SEATTLE, Feb. 8.—Civil war vet
erans, members of John F. Miller post,
of Seattle, unanimously went on rec
ord in a resolution passed Saturday
night in favor of changing the name
of Mount Rainier to Mount Lincoln.
James R. Chase introduced the reso
lution. Sentiment in connection with
the naming of Washington’s grandest
mountain for the nation’s best-beloved
president has made rapid headway
among the old soldiers, it is said.
Mount Tahoma, they point out, means
simply high mountain and has nothing
distinctive about it, while the varia
tion, Tacoma, means nothing at all.
They advocate uniting the names of
the two greatest presidents in the
slogan “Mount Lincoln in the State
of Washington.”

FRENCH LOCATE
CUNS BE SOUND
PARIS, Feb. 17.—Paul Painleve, a
member of the French Institute, emi
nent in mathematics, deputy for the
Latin quarter, and until recently min
ister of public instruction and inven
tion, declares that Thomas A. Edison
‘‘was rather severe in his judgment
when he expressed in a recent inter
view that new inventions had played
so small a part in the war.”
“The most important scientific ap
plications made since the war began
are still military secrets,” said Mr.
Painleve to the Associated Press.
“When it is all over and details of new
inventions and new developments of
odl ones, discovered and put into prac
tice, used at the front, may be reveal
ed, I think Mr. Edison will revise his
opinion and that the world generally
will admit that science has done its
part.
“To mention only isolated cases, the
processes of wireless communication
and for the registering of sounds at
distances, that is by the ordinary
wireless currents and by ground in
duction, have been marvelously per
fected through the requirements of the
war. All the armies are rivalling each
other in skillful methods for tapping
the enemy’s lines of telephonic com
munication from a considerable dis
tance; not tapping as it is generally
understood, but by the use of a mar
velous instrument that enables the
sentinel in his advanced listening post
out beyond the front line of trenches
to hear the enemy communications by
telephone going over wires that are
several hundred yards away.
“No more than an allusion to these
things may be made,” said Mr. Pain
leve, who, as minister of munitions,
organized a veritable mobilization of
scientists and scientific laboratories in
France. The technical sections of his
ministry collaborated with iventors
to bring to practical use the interest
ing propositions that were found
worth considering. He himself pre
sided over a special commission of
men of science charged with the ex
amination of all new inventions and
processes for use in the national de
fense, and must consequently be re
garded as in a better position to know
what sgience has done for the war.
“I would mention also," he said, “a
system that we perfected and put into
use for locating the enemy’s batteries
by sound. The principle was known
before the war but it was regarded as
impracticable. It has since the war
been brought to the highest state of
perfection and efficiency and for
months has been in use over the en
tire front. It has proven so effective
that our adversaries, who captured a
motor car with one of the outfits, have
equipped themselves with similar ap
pliances but lacking the delicacy and
the precision of our instruments. It
was France that had the entire initia
tive of this brilliant application.
“Inventions for following the ene
my’s sapping and mining operations
by sound that were, in all armies, very
crude and insufficient before the war,
have made the most remarkable pro
gress and will reflect honor upon
French science later on.
“Aviation in every respect has
been remarkably perfected by the ef
forts of science and technicians since
the war began. Today a pilot goes up
in all kinds of weather without fear of
being upset by sudden squsflls, so well
have been perfected the measures for
the stability of flying machines. Great
progress also has been made in the
improvement of motors, particularly
in the reduction of their weight in pro
portion to their effective power, so
that they speed up to 150 miles an
hour. Finally, in spite of the difficul
ties, wireless telegraphy has been
marvelously adapted to aviation.”

Weird Story of “The Sable Lorcha.”
Around Chinatown and the mysteri
oub and devious manner of Chinese re
venge runs the plot of “The Sable
Lorcha,” the Triangle-Fine Arts pro
duction, Which will be shown at the
Empress theatre this Thursday and
Friday, March 8 and 9. Tully Mar
shall depicts facially all the cunning
and malice inherent in Chinese char
acter as John Soy. Thomas Jefferson
as Donald McNich, originally Donald
Cameron, had blown up a Chinese
yacht or lorcha, destroying a hundred
yellow men from whom he had gained
passage money for America. Two
partners of McNich escape, being Soy
and an Irish adventurer, Murphy.
Though failing in several attempts to
gain revenge by killing McNich, the
pair continue in their purpose and en
list in their aid one of the powerful
secret societies in Chinatown.
“Stolen Magic.”
Raymond Hitchcock’s contribution
to the motion picture world is a bur
lesque on East Indian conjuration en
titled “Stolen Magic,” in which he is
ably assisted by Mack Sennett, Mabel
Normand and other well known Key
stone actors. Mr. Hitchcock appears
in the role of a traveler from India
who brings back to America a work on
magic and a collection of sacred
snakes. It can be imagined what tur
moil is caused in the hitherto peaceful
household where Mr. Sennett and Miss
Normand are the host and hostess.
The Brahmin seeking to recover the
magic scroll is mixed up in the pro
ceedings. An interesting “cutback”
shows how Hitchcock stole the magic
book from an East Indian temple and
how the nautch girls danced weirdly
before him. The Hindu pursuer is a
bomb thrower, and there are some
funny moments when Hitchcock and
Sennett get unwelcome possession of
the bomb. In the end the scroll is re
stored to the East Indian, and all ends
happily. 575
