ed by islander. I cannot vote for MT. Sutherland who com manded the forces which so atrociously attacked the Judge of the Third Division.
 The expression of these sen timents may have an evil effect upon my own candidacy-such is the fortune of war and politics; but the struggle thru life teaches us that we cannot pack waer upon both shoulders. I have a full realizing sense that my own election is neith- CT important nor necessary to the people of the ThirdDivi- sion; but the safety of the American government depends upon the freedom and integrity of our judges.
 Yours truly

The Alaska fisherman., 1926-08-15


 Territorial Legislature are mem bers, and if you have any sug- gestions to make we will be glad to receive them. We are giving all members of the ticket the same publicity and intend to go down the line for the entire ticket. We hope that the Republicans of your end of the division will adopt a similar course.
 Very truly yours,
 ARTHUR FRAME
 In reply to the above, MT. Murray says:
 Cordova, Alaska, July 20, 1926. Arthur Frame Esq,
 Anchorage, Alaska.
 Dear Arthur:
 l came from my camp a few days ago on my way to the coast and received yours of July 9 at Mccarthy.
 l note that I have been plac- ed on the Executive Committee of the Anchorage Republican Club, and I note your sugges- tion question as to whether the Republicans of my part of the country "intend to go down the line for the entire ticket"
 Speaking for myself, I will not vote for MT. Sutherland. I have not been to the States for over twenty-one years. Most of the past twenty-three years has been spent by me in the woods, and the breeding loneliness of the life I have lived among Alaska's purple hills for many years has caus- ed me to be sensitive even to strangers maligning our people.
 Confning myself to the ter rible attack made upon Judge Ritchie, l am alarmed that or ganized malice can produce the situation which resulted in MT. Coolidge's withdrawing Judge Ritchie's name from the senate There is a keen re- membrance of the long strug- gle to have our appointive off, Acers chosen from among our own people and it seems a tragedy to lose the results of that long and painful struggle on one hand.
 Judge Ritchie is a scholarly lawyer and a just man; judi a:a1lxz c: ]

PREDICTED VICTORY
"Sea Issue" of London Daily Mail Based it's Freight Opinion on Factor of Psychology.

New York, Sept. 24.-lF- The ''sea issue" of the London Daily Mail, published on board the Mauretania, predicted that Gene Tunney would win the heavyweight championship on the factor of psy- chology, it was learned when the liner docked today.
 The psychology in this issue, it was explained, was that Dempsey was worried over the many court actions filed against him and hu- initiated at the ridicule at his re- built nose. As a result. Tunney rul- ed a favorite in the betting aboard the ship.
 Clarence H. Mackay, president of the Postal Telegraph company, pro- vided the fight fans on the ship with a special wireless report of the fight, which augmented the regular service furnished by the Daily Mail. Other ardent fight fans aboard in cluded Benjamin Strong, governor of the federal reserve bank of New York, and Dwight F. Morrow, a member of the firm of J. P, Nor gan company.

REFEREE TALKS OF
 TUNNEY VICTORY
:s RaphaePs-- "New Britain's Cash Store"
Remarks That DempSey's Fa.
 nous Punch Was Missing

Philadelphia, Sept. 24 OP-Tommy Reilly, of Philadelphia, the referee, who was not called upon to make a decision in the Dempsey-Tunney fight, said today that had he been called upon to give a verdict, he would have cast his ballot for the new champion.
 Reilly said he gave Tunney seven rounds: the second was even and , two were Dempseys.
 Tt was a battle of left hands," said Reilly. "Tunney hit with re- markable precision, while Dempsey showed his long lay-off affected his work to a great extent. He hit wildly and while he was apparently doing the right thing, his plans went wrong, due partly to his in ability to keep Tunney In front of him.
 The new champion was cont,nu- ually outguessing Jack. Of course this was made possible by the ever willingness of the champion to take the offensive, showing utter disre- gard for Genes counters, some of which he timed beautifully.
 From the tap of the gong in the first round until the close of the bout Dempsey was weaving in and trying to hit the pace that made him the famed killer" of other days.
 But that famous Dempsey punch vas missing. The sock only ma terialized about. four times during the entire ten rounds. The new champion took them and refused to buckle under the attack.
 "Tunney showed he had planned his battle carefully He knew what he wanted to do and did 1t at the right moment. He kept his head about him and fought a masterful fight. He emerged a champion in every sense of the word"

No permits Will hereafter be is sued by Building Inspector A. N. Rutherford for work In any dis trict where a zone change is under consideration.
 This policy is similar to the one prescribed by the city court of Hartford to the building inspector in that city in a recent court ac- ton.
 Application of this rule to the case of Pasquale Bombaci, appli- cant for a permit to build a three family house on Stanley streets bungalow district. will require him to wait until his neighbors' appli- cation for a zone change has been acted upon.

MASS. PARTY PLANKS
Republican Convention Resolutions Committee Has One Providing For Wet Plank.

Boston, Sept. A CF-suggestions that the republican platform should announce a wet" stand on the li- quor question and carry blanks in favor of jury service for women, in creased compensation for state en- ployes and a shorter ballot were to be laid before the resolutions com- mittee of the party today. The meeting of resolutions committee this afternoon preceded the state convention to be held here tomor- row.
 Mrs. Robert L. Denormandie, president of the Massachusetts League Of Women Voters, declared that representatives of women's or ganizations would urge legislation to grant women jury service ''in terms of equality with men,
 President Robert NJ. Washburn of the Roosevelt club announced that the club would urge that the con- pensation of state employees be in- creased, that the party adopt a 'wet' plank, that steps be taken to shorten the ballot and that resolu- ton in memory of Senator Henry Cabbot Lodge be adopted.

CHASING FIRE TRUCKS

Getting in the way of fire trucks while they are en route to a blaze is one of those little outdoor sports in this city which are far too com mon. There are certain rules about getting out of the way when the siren is heard. but ore marvels at the narrow escapes as drivers of automobiles and trucks find them selves entirely bereft of that keen wit which is necessary in such emergencies. Sometimes, il must be admitted, there is no available place 10 hie to; yet the fire trucks come on apace all the same. Something has 10 be done and that in hurry. Fortunately there have been no serious smashups in recent years.
 What is just as bad is the GUS tom of innumcrable autoists in trailing the fire trucks, forgetting all about the speed regulations while so engaged. This Is q rem nant of the day when all able-bod- jed citizens followed the fire trucks on foot, in the general direction that the red wagons were seen go- ing. This had the advantage of keeping the migrating citizenry on the sidrwalks-cxcept for those few who chased the trucks on bicycles and yielded good need of exer- else for those who no longer were identified with football squads.
 But the custom of chasing the fro trucks in automobiles is bad business. At least half the time other fire trucks are in the wake Of those being followed, and there is always the possibility of a bad mess occurring at some prominent corner, with prominent citizens at

A TROLLEY ENDS

The Connecticut company is be- ginning to pay some attention to it's branch trolley lines, those which traverse the country lanes and go nowhere in particular, which rarely bring in enough money to pay for the electricity needed to jog them along.
 It is not surprising, therefore, to find that one more such branch trolley line has been discarded The line runs from Willimantic to South Coventry. As usual, it has been superseded by busses, which are operated by the New England Trans portation company. the bus auxil . iary of the New Haven railroad.
 The New Haven's bus lines are being expanded wherever opportuni- ty offers, but it is doubtful wheth- CT the lines are gold mine. In a field where competition has de- veloped many of the lines are run merely for competitive purposes, or in order to prevent a rival concern from establishing a route. T. is a good system for the bus manufaCtur- ing companies, and that is about all.

PROTECTING THE MAILS

Protection for the mails en route between the post office and the railroad station is a reasonable re- quest for the postmaster to make. The request should be granted.
 If thera is valuable mail going out and coming into the city the crooks are bound to learn of it. By this time they are fully aware of it. The police department Is now mor- ally bound to protect the mail if the government itself does not do so.
 The recent machine gun fracas in Elizabeth, N. J., is a case in point. That city is not much larger than New Britain. No one knows where the lightning wielded by gunmen is going to strike next.
 Basically, the government should protect it's own mails. To do that in every city, however might be impracticable. The police should have no compunctions about co-op- erating. An agreement might be made with the government, in fact Meantime there should be no delay about starting temporary protection until a more comprehensive plan is worked out.

THE FiLL-DOHENY TRIAL

It is no fault of the public if it suffers from dizziness in contem- plating the series of suits following the oil scandal expose. There are at present seven government suits; of these three are based on criminal charges.
 The first of the criminal cases has gone to trial in Washington; the charge is that Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the interior, and Ed ward L. Doheny, oil mogul, con- spired 10 defraud the government in connection with the Elk Hills oil land lease in California, and in the construction of storage tanks in the Hawaiian islands.
 The defense of Fall and Doheny. curiously enough, will be that they did this for the best interests of the country.
 The delay in coming to trial in the criminal cases has been scandalous. One cannot help concluding that there were some politics mixed with the reluctance to hurry along these cases.
 The Senate began it's inquiry four years ago. It has been three years since the exposure of the S10O,OOO black satchel carried by q son of Doheny from New York to Wash ington and the contents handed to Fall in exchange for an unendorscd demand note.
 Finally the two men are actually standing trial.

The stockholders and the bond holders will bear the brunt of the losses. The mistaken railroad mag mates who adopted this policy of expansion to the Pacific may be financial losers, but probably not.
 Some day the St. Paul will be a fine going concern, like few other railroads which in the memory of old inhabitants once were on the rocks but today are rocks of Gibraltars. Financiers and investors agree on this point: but few will have the courage to buy St. Paul securities, paying the in- evitable reorganization assessment, and then keeping them in safe for the Hong pulp of about 20 years. By that time the St. Paul will be on its feet as one of the strong roads of the northwest.

THE MADOO BOOM

The McAdoo boom-such as it is has started, despite all that honest workers in the Democratic party had hoped to the contrary. The chief boomer this year-Edwin T. Mere dith, secretary of agriculture in the Wilson cabinet-has given what he thinks are cogent reasons why Will liam Gibbs McAdoo has a claim upon the Democratic party and his right for presidential-running future in it. All the same, we think Friend Meredith is dead wrong.
 The Democratic party cannot af- ford to fool with McAdoo any more. Even admitting, for the sake of dolorous discussion, that Al Smith is not to be nominated, it would be folly to nominate McAdoo-unless it were a case of merely nominating somebody as matter of form and to get a licking. It is doubtful If McAdoo, as a dry-tinder presidential candidate on the Democratic party, could even carry such Democratic states as New York or New Jersey. He would carry the south and that is about all.
 If Al Smith is too spoken, too honest in his views and too frank in the way ne expresses them, then the party will have to take Vic Donahey of Ohio, Ritchie of Maryland. or some other sterling in- dividual who can make the welkin ring in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Illinois and few other such worthwhile close states.

the head of the parade to the hos pital. There is nothing more thrill ing than a score of autos and half a dozen fire trucks in each others way at or near the scene of a S5 fire in some lady's clothes closet.
 The best plan when the fire sirens sound is to let the fire trucks at. tend to the job. The urge to speed up the Whatchucallit Lizzie should be severely repressed-placing this repressed emotion with the others, so to speak.
 And by the way, that famous fire lane" along the Center is a fine place for a slambang collision. Some day a fire is going to break out just when every foot of the fire lane is occupied by near-Rolls Royces and busses, and the vicinage will be TO place for nervous lady.

PETITIONING THE QUEEN

It was too much to expect that Queen Marie of Roumania could tour this country in the way she has been doing without running afoul of some such petition as that rendered her by GO eminent divines of all churches relative to religious minorities in Roumana.
 The leaders in the half dozen i'm portant churches - including Car dinal O'Connell, Bishop Slattery, Evangeline Booth, Rev. Dr. Cadman and Rev. Dr. Fosdick-made an i'm pressive plea to the queen. It Is to be hoped that she doesn't overlook considering it while on her wa! back to Roumania.
 Conditions in this respect in Rou- mania are not what they ought to be. Details have been published W HIGH uU ilpL ltHu d Illle SlO" u the rights of religious minorities in that country. Liberty of conscience and worship should be an integral part of every government. The eminent divines who signed the pc tition are of the opinion there is much room for improvement in Roumania and they accepted the presence of a gracious queen in this country as an opportunity to call at tention to their thoughts, cxpecta tions and hopes.
 It is conceded that the Roumanian government has made efforts to solve the problem, More, however, could be done. The only logical move is to grant full freedom of worship to all religious minorities on par with the state church.

devil dogs" guarding U. s. mail trucks. Numerous young folks from New Britain, who called for the posts, were greeted with weapons that looked like blackjacks, al- though eyesight, perhaps failing. did not disclose any of these dangerous weapons of conflict being used.
 No police department ever fought more valiantly upon football sector. It was Ferdun all over again. with the exception that the cops couldn't say "Ne passeront pas in French and therefore, lack ing the mystic password of victory, finally had to listen to the ribald command of the generalissmo ser geant. which were, Come on. boys, let 'em have it.
 That's how the New Britainites got the cherished totem poles. That's how the third battle of the Marne was won by the army of Franklin Square. Their field tactics, consist ing of pumping the cops in their dummies until the wind was gone, finally wooed winged victory and clasped her a bride.
 But, as stated, the cops made a brilliant fight. The trouble was, it was bad day for Hartford and not even the bluecoats could change the tide.
