GOVERNORS WILL MEET FIRST
AT INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY
TO EXCHANGE THEIR GREETING

The committees in charge OF the
plans for the international celebration
to be held beginning tomorrow with
the arrival here OF Governor Faustc
Topete Of Sonora and Governor c.
w. p Hunt OF Arizona decided yes,
terday that it would not be possible
at this TIME to hold the public dedica-
ticn OF the Douglas-Agua Prieta
international airport. 1t was the
opinion OF those in charge OF thC
preparations for the rect : ion tina,
later date should be seo Tor the
air port dedication SO tina. arrange
mentS can be made for aviators and
others prominent in aviation to
attend.
Governor Topete Will arrive to-
morrow at noon. The number in his
party was not known late yesterday.
Governor Hunt will arrive during the
by o. S. French, v. A. Wood Il. V
Martinez, VIM Delbridge, T. S
O'Connell and George Kingdom A
telegram received by the Douglas
Chamber OF Commerce yesterday from
the governor named these as being
in the motor party and rooms were
reserved for them at the Hotel
PalCmar.
The first number on the program
for tine visiting executives will be
their formal meeting which will take
place at the international line at
the customs houses, where Gov.
Topete will appear from the Mexican
side and Gov. Hunt from the
American side and the two executives
will clasp hands over the center OF
the international gateway symbolizing
the friendship of Arizona and Sonora
It IS considered especially fitting that
this ceremony should take place at
the Douglas Aqua Prieta porG as the
port here has never been closed be-
cause of any unfriendlinesS between
the two states and is one Of the
few ports along the entire border
which remains open "a hours a day
and which has never been closed
because of differences between the
two countries.
There will be at least two bands
to play at the meeting Of the eXecu-
tives. Following this international
meeting the program OF celebration
will be fully launched. On Friday
evening the Club Social will be host
to the governors and to a large
number OF prominent citizens OF both
sides of the border at a banquet,
On Saturday evening there will be
a grand ball at the CluO Social and
a public dance in the plaza in Aqua
Prieta Other functions are being
planned on both sides of the line

SUNNY COMING
this EVENING TO
GRAND THEATER

With only a few seats remaining
it appeared certain last night that
when the curtain goes up this eve
ming on sunny at the Grand
theater the players will look out upon
a capacity house and that the
IS. r. O." sign will be doing duty
at the door. There has been a
splendid demand for seats. There will
be a large attendance from outlying
points in the county including Bisbee.
This is one of Charles B. Dilling-
hams greatest musical triumpfls and
is said to be one of the largest
companies ever to play in Douglas.
There are 20 principals in the cast
and there are more than 100 with
the show which requires a special
train for its movements.
This is the work that ran for
almost two years at the New Amster-
dam theater in New York. The book
and lyrics of Sunny" we're written
by Otto Harbach and Oscar Ham
merstein II, and the music composed
by Jerome Kern. The score includes
many ringing song hits" Mail orders

ceived.

BATES ON BOND,
WHISKEY, TRUCK
ARE IMPOUNDED

Twelve quarts of whisky he had
in his possession and the truck ne
was driving we're taken by U. s.
customs officers from j. Ernest
Bates of 1923 Twenty-third street
when he tried to cross into the
United States from Mexico on last
Friday, according to E. M. Speche,
deputy collector of customs in the
Douglas office. Bates was taken
before H. 6. Beumler, U. S. COM
missioner, and held to answer to
the United States grand jury at
Tucson at it's next qitting to explain
his alleged attempted violation OF
the U. S. laws governing the trans
rortation of intoxicants. He fur
nished bail in the sum of $500 for
his appearance.
Bates is employed as an electric
ian with certain executive duties on
the Aqua Prieta side of the inter-
national boundary line, and when
he came to the line in the course
Of his travels last Friday, the Of
ficers scrutiniZed his truck with
genuine interest. 1t appears that
after casual inspection they were
convinced that Bates was carrying
a greater cargo of intoxicants than
was safe for one employed amidst
the hazards of high voltage wires,
and they took him into custody. He
was hailed at once into the pres
ence of the commissioner and the
levidence laid before the court,
Whereupon Bates bond was fixed
at $500 and after he had made the
bond he was permitted to go his
way but not by truck.
The truck which Bates had been
driving was impounded and is now
in storage in a local garage and If
it gets the usual attention given
vehiclesl found as guilty as it was,
OF carrying booze, either Bates will
have to pay for it, or else it will
be sold by the government.

The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-05-15

SEATTLE, Wash, May 15-Un- der the unceasing vigilance of the coast guard and the federal bur eau of fisheries, Uncle Sam s wards of the Pacific-more than S00,000 fur seals-are bound for their Alaskan breeding grounds.
 From early spring until June the valuable mammals lives are protected as they migrate along the Pacific coast from southern California attitudes to the Pribilof Islands, 300 miles west of the Alaskan mainland in the Boring sea. By international agreement only Indians are permitted to kill the seals as they travel north ward.
 Cons.an watehfulness to pre- vent pelagic sealing resulted in an increase in the number of seals in the herd to S08,870 in 1927 When the killing of seals on the high seas was prohibited by treaty in 1911 the herd num- bered only 250000 and was rapid ly nearing extinction. Before the start of pelagic sealing during the latter part of the eighteenth century the total was more than 5,000,000.
 With the bureau of fisheries killing only part of the three-year- old males the number is again nearing the million mark. Under government control the young male seals are killed al the breed. ing grounds on the Pribilof Isl ands. In 1927 the government took 24,942 seals, leaving enough three-year-olds to assure the herds growth. Young seals are killed because of their finer grade of fur.
 During migrations the aborig ines of Alaska, British Columbia and the United States are allow. ed to kill seals. These slayings must be made at least three miles from shore with the use of prim- tive weapons and boats. Al though only a few thousand are killed each year by Indians. this type of sealing has impeded the increase of seals.
 More than two-thirds of those killed by Indians are females. which swim closer to shore and are easier to catch. Coast guard

SCHOOL BONDS
 ARE DEFEATED
 AT ANCHORAGE
Taxpayers Reject Proposal to Bond Town for $l00,-
 900 for High School

At a special election held last week, Anchorage taxpayers turn ed down the proposition to issue school bonds for S100.000 for the construction of a high school, it was made known today by Com missioner l.. D. Henderson, of the Territorial Department of Education. It is understood that another building program will be adopted by the Anchorage City Council and put before the tax. payers later this summer.
 The plan that was defeated called for the construction of a high school plant largely similar to the one that is now being built in this city. Plans for the local building were used in An chorage to show the voters exact ly what project was contemplated.
 The new program will call for the construction of an eight-room grammar school. If this is ap. proved by the voters, the present building will be used for 9 high school.
