Jury Hated Dry Act,
Are Ousted By Court
New York.—“Are any of you gentle
men prejudiced against the Volstead
law?” asked an attorney Thursday of
twelve lalesmen iD federal court where
the trial of Edward Dimm, an alleged
prohibition violator, was scheduled to
begin.
“i am,” said prospective juror No. 1,
“So am I,” said No. 2.
“Wait, gentlemen,” interrupted the
lawyer. “Those who feel that way
please stand up.”
The twelve men stood up.
It was-the last of the panel and, as
all were excused, the trial had to be
postponed to get new talesmen.
Too Much Glory for
Yanks, Say French
Washington.—Suppression of “Ttaa
Four Aorsemen of Apocalypse” in
French moving picture theaters is
being demanded by a considerable sec
tion of the press in Paris and elsewhere
in France, according to cable dis
patches from the French capital. The
French are said to be objecting to fur
ther exhibition of the picture on the
ground that, the author, Blasco Ibanez,
places too much stress on the part
played by Hmerican troops in deciding
a doubtful war.

Copper Mountain
Mining Property
Valdez Miner.
It is reported that Tom Aitken, one
of the most prominent mining operat
ors of the interior, hits purchased the
Copper Mountain mining property
opened ux> last summer by Giles A
Grant. This report gains credence
from the fact that .lack Price, well
known in Alaska mining circles, and
who has been associated with Mr.
Aitken in other mining properties, has
cotne north to take charge of the work
on the property this summer. Tt is
stated that Mr. Aitken has made a
cash payment of $20,000. but the total
purchase price has not been made pub
lie. The property is located in the
Mount McKinley National Park, and is
tributary to what, is known as the Kan
tishna district proper. Galena discov
eries of some value were reported from
there last summer by Giles &, Grant,
showing surface indications ©f a big
body of ore. Mining men visiting the
property were impressed with the sur
face showings, and it is beliei*ed that
development work will reveal mineral
deposits of considerable value.
Frills, Vivid Colors Off
New Men’s Clothing*
- t
Chicago. This is drab news for the
flappers’ friends, the so-called “cake
eaters.”
Men’s-clothing Is to be standardized
in cu^ and color. The United National
Clothiers, in session here, announced
Thursday that a committee of five will
select a staple in each clothing manu
facturing line on which the small mer
chants can concentrate.
It means, the clothiers believe, the
same style for men from San Francisco
to New York. It means further the
snappy dresser of the small town will
be just as up to date as the big city
“cake consumer.”
