RUM0R KILLED
 AS TO DITTMER

For some days past rumor has been circulated that Charles Ditt- mer, who formerly lived in Fair banks and was interested in the mining game here, had been arrest ed in California while attempting to smuggle correspondence across the Mexican border addressed to some of. ficials connected with the German government. The rumor was to the effect that he had been found guilty and sentenced to serve thirty years in federal institution there.
 Investigation as to the truth of the facts in the matter led to the uncovering of correspondence re, ceived from Dittmer under date of June second from Santa Rosa, Cal, in which he stated that he was en- gagged in farming and has 40 acres which he is cultivating in prunes.
 Dittmer cites an instance in which Fairbanks registrant, Herman A. Tenter, was taken up by the au- thorities in California as a stacker and could not convince them he was registered until the arrival of some Fairbanks papers which pub, lished the names of those regis tered, and he was then released.

Lumpkin made a stirring address that kept his listeners ap- plauding continually. Jack Smith with Where Do We Go From Here ?" livened up the crowd and caused much laughter. Fernand de Journcl, who has a son serving with the col ors. made an excellent talk inter- spersed with humor and portrayed much that the boys might expect to see on their arrival in France. A medley selection by the band next followed and was we'll received.
 Miss Ella Knudsen made a direct talk to the boys and expressed the sentiment of the camp in few we'll chosen words. R. s. Steel, leader of the drafted men until they arrive at their destination, responded with a few words, being touched too deep- ly to make a response of length. Chairman Heilig made a few con- cluding remarks followed by the band playing "The Star Spangled Banner"
 At the conclusion of the program the floor was cleared, and to music furnished by the Liberty orchestra those attending passed many hours with dancing. The boys, who were designated by their ribbons and TO- settes, enjoyed themselves immense ly, no formality being needed on their part to secure partners for their last dance in Fairbanks until their return.

 WAS PRESENTED

The reso- lution drawn up by the committee Is herewith appended: "To the Honorable Frederick D.
 Brown, Engineer in Charge. Al
 askan Engineering Commission, Nenana, Alaska.
 "Sir:
 "At a mass meeting held by rep resentative property owners of Ne mana, on the 9th day of June, 1918, for the purpose of discussing Town site business affairs. to determine inefficiency, if any, and suggest ways and means of eradicating same, and ! for the betterment of conditions as to Improvements, sanitation and fire protection; correcting exorbitant tax ation levied and reducing current ex- penses in TOwnsite management, we. the undersigned, were selected as a committee of three to draw and submit for consideration Such rec concentrations as might appear just and expedient.
 This meeting was called to order lished by the Nenana Daily News on June 8, 1918, and by unanimous vote of the property owners present the following complaints as to in efficiency in Townsite management were voiced, qualification of which can be presented upon request:
 Negligence and inefiiciency in drainage, thus causing an inunda. tion of and great damage to prop erty. Negligence and discourtesy of the Townsite manager to the ap peals of property owners for con- sideration regarding exorbitant tax ation. Negligence and inefficiency in constructing sidewalks, and gar bage disposition. Inefficiency in the mode of fire protection, and excess sive taxation for same.
 "In view of the foregoing, we. the following committee, recommend that:
 "The Department of the Interior be petitioned through the Alaskan Engineering Commission to give the town of Nenana power to incorpo- rate, or to manage its own finances, or appoint Townsite manager who will levy and expend taxes with some regard to the wishes of taxpayers. as the taxes thus far levied amount to practical confiscation of the own ers' equity, numerous property own CTS having forfeited their equity rather than pay.
 We further recommend that steps be taken immediately for protection against loose dogs.

 The city itself, they say, is huge military camp which extends ten miles southward to Calliano, and eastward through the Sugana valley which is the great artery leading to the Brenta valley and the plains of Italy. The railways have been trebled, so that this whole section is joined by network of railway sid. ings and connections.
 The military administration is car red on chiefly at Trent, the head. quarters being in the Pretoria palace near the famous old cathedral of Trent where the council of Trent was held. Near by is one of the main barracks located in one of the historic monuments of the city. In the Piazza Dante the bronze statue of Bante has around it's base q number of delapidated cannon which are claimed to be trophies of war.
 The city is practically evacuated or it's civilian population and given over entirely as the base for the military operations on the mountain front.

 Frank Alexander, taken into GUS tody for the violation of the dry law on June IA, was found guilty and sentenced to serve five days in jail and was assessed the costs of the case.
 Minnie Joseph, arrested on the same day for the same charge at a place about II miles east of Panama, was given the same sentence as Alexander
 John Scherosfy was also taken into custody on the 14th on the same charge. His sentence was more sever than the others. he being fined $500 and costs, in default of which he will spend 250 days in jail.
 Mike Nickoli, arrested on the same day and on the same charge, was found guilty as charged and given ten days in jail. The complaining ness in all cases was A. J. Campbell.
 The only other case to come be- fore the court there that did not have to deal with the dry law was that of Albert Pilot, who on June F, on complaint made by Ram part Joe charging assault, was taken into custody and at his trial found guilty, being sentenced to spend 25 days in the federal bastile at the post town.
