MAYOR MULBERGER
ISSUES PROCLAMATION
Asks Citizens to Observe Ordinance
and Clean Up and Paint Up
Soon as Possible.
CONTAGION CAN BE AVOIDED

Mayor MulbergeT has issued a pro-
clamation to the citizens Of Water
town in which he calls attention to
existing ordinances on the subject of
cleaning up and painting up, and
enlarges on the subject by calling at
tention to the fact that dead vegetable
matter is the cesspool of contagion
In his proclamation the mayor says
To The Citizens of Watertown,
Greetings :-Whereas the week fol-
lowing the first Tuesday in May is
designated by ordinance as Clean
Up Week, and whereas the ordinance
further provides that all refuse, gar
bage and other waste material when
placed in proper containers, such as
boxes or barrels, delivered to the
street curb by the owner or occupant
of any premises within the city limits,
will be carried away and properly
cared for by the city, free of charge,
on Saturday of said Clean Up Week
Now, therefore, each citizen should
feel it duty and make an effort to
clean up his property, both front and
back yard and paint his premises if
necessary; in fact to heyp abolish all
places that tend to brew flies,
and consequent contagion.
1t certainly would be interesting to
overhear some of the explanations our
are putting UP to the
heather these days.

KrauSe Case Testimony Tracing Movements of Missing Men
 Bit by Bit.
WITNESSES ARE CERTAIN
Cross Examination Is of No Avail in the Shaking of Their Testi-
 mOny.

The court room in the District Court continues to be crowded with persons anxious to hear the testi- mony in the Krause murder trial which is engaging the attention of the court. All day yesterday and today the prosecution introduced levidence.
 Yesterday afternoon. late, Tom McCaul was called by the prose cution he and told of how Plunkett made his place his headquarters when in the city and told of Plum kett telling him he was to start out the next morning. McCaul testified that Plunkett pointed to Krause. who was there at the time and said: That is the man am going to take out" McCaul tes- tifed that he never saw Plunkett afterwards
 Sam Kohn testified to practical ly the same facts as McCaul. James York testified about seeing Plum kett and Krause together on the Lue when that boat was passing the Union oil dock. south of Ju- neau. He testified that he plainly saw both Plunkett and Krause on the boat and for a time thought they were going to land at the oil dock, but that the Lue veered out into the channel and continued on its way down the channel.
 Halma Salvina and oscar Mime were on the stand the greater part of this morning. Both men talk ing through interpreters and they testified that they passed the Lue opposite Hobart Bay the forenoon of the day Plunkett left Juneau. They told how the Lue was bound south, how the Taku wind was blowing in the same direction as the Lue was travelling. and of see- ing both men on the boat at that time. Both men were positive of their facts and cross examination failed to shake them.
 The two men were the last to see Plunkett alive, according to evidence and the assertion of the Dis trict attorney, and from that point on the case of the government is said be purely circumstantial and everything must be proven by chain of events which will re- move all reasonable doubts as to the guilt O. the defendant from the minds of the jury, if con viction is secured.

Cantain Martin on Stand.

This afternoon the prosecution called Capt. J. T. Martin. former chief of police of Juneau. who tes- tihed to having known Plunkett for about 22 years. He told of the disappearance of Plunkett and of his part in the search which fol- lowed.
 Martin was shown a number of documents and asked to identify the signature of Plunkett attached, which he readily did. One docu- ment was shown him which was not placed in evidence. and which was alleged to have been signed by Plunkett. Capt Martin stated to the best of his knowledge the signature had never been made by Plunkett, but was forged.
 Several sharp tilts occurred be- tween the opposing attorneys over the introduction of certain evil dence and the court was obliged to tell them to proceed with the case. Capt Martin and Kazis Krauczunas had several sharp tilts during the cross examination of him
