PREP HARDNESS
 KEYNOTE FOR
 JULY FOURTH

The chairman of the sub-commit- tees for the Fourth of July celebra- ton met last night in Grover Winn's office and discussed the plans for the celebration.
 Preparedness is to be the keynote of the day The monster parade Is to be a preparedness parade, rather than parade of celebration. Mer. chants and automobile owners will be asked to follow preparedness sub iects when decorating their floats, bodies of men will be asked to turn out, the Juneau Bremen will march in body and be opponents Of pre- paredness. and leading officials and citizens will march in the process sion. The parade will have no poli- tical significance of any kind but will merely Illustrate the growing demand of all sections of the United States for adequate protection
 Sports will take a great part Of the day. There will be sports of all kinds for the children, hose races and water fights between the fire men from the Alaska-Juneau, Thane, Perseverance and city fire depart. ments. ball games. balloon ascensions and band concerts will complete the program of the day.
 The committee was informed that about $500 will be available for the celebration and they are working with a view of spending just that and no more.

LIMITS 10 BE DISCUSSED AT
 COUNCIL TONIGHT

The Juneau City Council will meet tonight at 8 o'clock ia Q special ses- sion Co reconsider the action of the extension of the saloon limits of the city. The meeting has been called by Mayor B. D, Stewart at tho re- quest of the interested parties who asked for a reconsideration on the grounds that the subject had not been fully placed before the city council
 The liquor men contend that the council has no Jurisdiction to limit the saloons but that they can be placed anywhere in the business sec ton after the consent of the resi- dents of that section has been se- cured They also contend that the question of the location of saloons Is strictly up to the Federal officials under the law
 The members Of the city council and Mayor Stewart take @ different view and contend that 1t Is their perogative both under custom and law. Judge Jennings has always refused to grant licenses for any sa- loon outside the limits fixed by the city council and has left the matter in the councils hands Mayor Stew art stated today that no good and valid reason for extending the limits existed, in his opinion. While it is fact that one saloon is now forced to move and can not find location within the present limits that is the misfortune of the owner. If one is allowed to move beyond the limits others will find good excuses for doing the same and before long they would be away out of bounds It is expected that tonight's meeting will be a short one.

On his way to the westward, James Thorley, capitalist of New York. who owns the property on which The New York Times stands, arrived in Juneau Sunday. Thor. ley spends much of his vacation time hunting. and on his various expeditions has visited the famous hunting grounds of Maine. Labrador and Norway
 Hunting is mans sport in ev- cry sense of the word,' said Thor ley. There Is keener enjoyment lin the hunt than in any other sport in the world from my viewpoint. do not kill more than l need and am not one of these collectors who trav- el the country over slaying animals for their heads only. The prized parts of my prey send to my friends" Mr. Thorley continued his journey on the Mariposa.

STORM AND FIRE TURN
 BACK TEACHER COOKING
 HIS WAY TO 6ERlNe SEA

No more seataring jobs for E. P. Frohock. head of the government school in Goodnews Bay. Boring Sea;
 Frohock stoutly denies that he is Jonah. snys the Seattle Times
 NeS srtheless when he shipped as second cooit on the power schooner P. J. A. Abler. of Seattle, in an effort to reach his post last fall, the yes- sel ran into series of disasters, ending in a spectacular fire in which she was destroyed .n Juneau liar bor.
 Enough is too much" said Fro hook as he stood on the shore, watching the last of the Abler.
 In the meantime Mrs. Frohock and the two children had reached Goodnews Bay In the power schoon- CT Bender Brothers. They have been there ever since. AS Frohock watched the flames that devoured the Abler he realized that he could not see his family again until the coming summer; that eh would have to wait for the resumption of passenger ser vice. He is now in Seattle. waiting to book passage North During the winter he acted as government school teacher at Douglas.
 Frohock entered the government school service in Alaska last Septem- ber. Before that he lived a peaceful life with his family in Seattle for five years. The regular Bering Sea passenger season had come to an end when he was assigned to the Goodnews Bay Boring Sea. He sue ceeded in engaging passage for his wife and two children on the power schooner Bender Brothers. Then he looked around to see how he could get north. The only thing in sight was the Abler and she was not al- lowed to carry passengers. The job of second cook, however, was va cant
 The school teacher promptly ship ped as second cook.
 No member of the crew has ever made much reference to Frohock's ability as a cook. Whatever happen. ed in culinary way was driven from their minds by what happened to the Abler. The Abler had no trouble in the inside passage. but when she ventured into the Gulf of Alaska things were little different.
 Beaten By Elements
 The Abler put up a hard. tough fight. whether rolling to starboard or port or trying to turn somer- sault. In the end she was defeated and put back to Juneau in crippel condition. Then followed the fire.
 Frohock, however, forgot all the terrors of the voyage when he sud. denly realized that hisfamily would be icebound in Goodnews Bay all fall, all winter and all spring. He expects to arrive In the bay to- ward the end of June. when he will set eyes on his family for the first time in teno months. He arrived in Seattle from Douglas few weeks ago.
 I'm no cook, I'm no seafaring man." he said today. "and in spite of all evidence to the contrary, Pm no Jonah"
 we admit he is no cook" said former sailors of the Abler,. "and we also admit that he is no seafar- ing man."
