NEW YORK, July 4.-Governor
Alfred E. Smith made his first pub

Will Address New Voters
Then tonight Governor Smith
will address $4,000 new voters in
front of the city hall.

Fourth of July subject of patriotism
for his two addresses.
These are the only appointments
on the schedule of the Governor
for the day. The rest of the time
he. plans to remain in his suite at
the hotel and wor kon his corre-
spondence. Tomorrow he will return
to Albany.
It is quite possible that after the
exercises at Tammany hall are con-
cluded he will meet George w.
Alvany, head of the wigwam, and
talk politics. Olvany and the Gov
ernor have not met since the latter
came to the city Sunday night.
Plan for Notification
Arrangements for notifying the
Governor OF his nomination will be
made Friday, when Senator Key
Pittman of the notification commit
tee appointed by the Houston con-
vention comes here to consult
Smith.
The ceremony will mark the real
beginning of the Democratic cam

at Albany early in August.
There is possibility that the Gov

NEW YORK, July 4.-Threat of
a new feud arouse police vigilance
today throughout the underworld Of
the Nations greatest city.
Four violent deaths, all bearing
striking resemblance to gang killings
in Chicago, have brought threats of
a police shake-up, very few arrests
and fears that the feud will be re-
newed.
Edwin Jerge was killed as he sat
in his motor car in Manhattan.
frankie Uale, gang leader whose
connections were said to extend to
the gang elements of Chicago, was
traced down and killed by shotgun
nerS.
Others Are Slain
Benjamin Kanowitz, former boot
logger, was killed when he stepped
on the self-starter of his motor car
and bomb was set off.
James Senter, race track gam
bier and dope peddler, was taken
for a ride" killed and his body
tossed into vacant lot in Brooklyn.
Police are uncertain whether any
of these crimes are connected. They
point out that Senter and Jerge
both were known as dope peddlers
and that Senter's murder might
have been reprisal.
Uale's death was brought about
by men who rode in a motor car
bearing Illinois license plates and
talk Of a reprisal by Chicago gang
sters has been frequent.
Kanowitz is not known to have
had any connection with the other
three.

PULLING OUT OF THE HOLE.

In a recent issue of the San Francisco Chon- icle is statement of the operations of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company for the current year which is of more than casual in- terest to every resident of Juneau. It sets forth a few figures which show how that company is digging itself out of a financial hole and foretells time to come when it will be able to start with a balance sheet from which traces of red ink so long in evidence, wiped out
 The company's surplus for the month of May, after deductng operating expenses including de- velopment charges and interest on it's bonded indebtedness S117,000. In April of this year it $109000 compared to loss of S33,0 ,000 fer the same month last year. The gross output for last month $307 900 against $16S,5 in May 1927. And for the first five months of this year the gross was $1,465,0 900 as compared to S96750O for the corresponding per iod of last year. As of May 31, last the surplus for this year tctaled $534,050 whereas the same months in 1927 showed deficit of $6SS50.
 The company. while making excellent current showing, it still paying for work done when its output not sufficient to meet operation expenses and pay off it's interest charges. In fact April 30 of this year it had accumulated interest charge, that is in- terest on bonds that could not be paid when it fell due, amounting to $662,463. If the com pany wipe out this indebtedness during the present year and pay current interest and other charges it will have made wonderful record.
 That it has been able to start the year by such a splendid showing the above figures indicate is cause for rejoicing to all Juneauites. The company's operations here constitute one of the principal factors in the community's pros perity. Any betterment in it's property, every improvement in it's returns, is not only boost for the company and its stock and bondholders but is also source of material benefit to this town.
