HOME BREWERS CAN BREW BUT SALES ARE OUT!

Home brew makers and "fAm;- ly circle" wine manufacturers will positively not be interfered with by government dry agents unless there is absolute evidence Of sale from the premises" This was a definite assertion made by Deputy Prohibition Admins trator Walter L. Peters, follow ing a lengthy and highly con- fidentiaI" conference with Col. Amos w. Woodcock, national prohibition director.
 "Thousands of home owners are making their own beer" Other thousands are making their own wine. So far as the federal government is concerned none of the home brew or wine makers will be molested, unless they sell their products"

DOPE FROM CORDOVA
 TIMES NOV.

Cordova Times compiled nine thousand sixty eight votes in one hundred precincts in all Divisions of Alaska with follow ing result: Delegate to Congress, Grigsby 4553; Wickersham 4515; Auditor Cole APO; Gaffney 4192; Treasurer, Hardcastle 3231; Smith 5330; Highway Engineer, Hesse 4245; Ulmer 2895; Com missioner of Education, Karnes 4475; Keller 4197.
 Compared to election two years ago there still are two thousand five hundred votes un- reported with a thousand in the First Division and rest scattered through the Territory. Political battle in Alaska proved to be one of personalities rather than issues and resulted in unpreced- ented splitting of party lines to detriment of the Republican party.

Democrats Concede Wickersham's

However, out of a total of 265 votes cast 151 preferred James Wickersham and no tho't George Grigsby should have been Alaska's delegate to Con- gress from Alaska. Richard E..

Would Open Up

National Representative Albert Johnson said last week that at the opening of Congress in De- cember he will introduce a bill designed to open Alaska to ex- ploration and settlement.
 T desire to frame a bill to take the great dead hand off Alaska" he asserted to the mem bers of the members council of the Chamber of Commerce.
 MT. Johnson is acting chair man of the House committee of the House Committee on Terri tories, as we'll as chairman on immigration.
 There has not been one silver dollar going into Alaska in years, and no new people. In leasing and land laws as they are now, Alaska will lie dead and dormant for generations.
 My plan would be a law au- thorizing the secretary of the interior to open large tracts, 100 miles in width and 500 miles in length, if necessary, for develop men and exploitation. Such tracts would not even dent Alaska"

Whitney Perjury
 Remains Puzzle

There is little possibility ot disposition of perjury charges a. gainst William M. Whitney, former legal adviser to the pro- hibition administrator, for sev- eral months, it became known last week.
 The question of whether the indictment will be dismissed or Whitney tried is now being con- Hidered by the attorney general of the United States. The ques- tion went to Washington after the acquittal on conspiracy charges month ago, of Whit ney, Roy c. Lyle, his former chief; Earl CorWin, former pro- hibition agent and R. L. Fryant, a former agent.
 The indictment charges Whit ney with perjury in the trial of Sylvester Moore former prohi- bition agent, who was indicted and tried on a charge of selling alcohol while in charge of the alcohol division of the prohibi- tion unit. Moore was acquitted. The star witnesses for the gov ernment were A. M. Hubbard and Whitney. Hubbard has since de- clared that he committed per- jury under direct orders from Whitney and that the latter also committed perjury. The case re- volved around a purported whispering wires conversation, which Hubbard now declares was fabricated and did not occur.
 District Attorney Savage was called to Washington for a con- ference. It is believed to consi- der action in this case.

 Contention I1th

The Alaska Native Brother hood will begin it's annual con- vention on Tuesday. the 11tn, at Ketchikan in the Red Mems Hall. Plans have been complet- ed for the reception of delegates by the local Camps.
 Three delegates from Haines and Klukwan passed throu this port Tuesday on the Queen. Ed Warren of Klukwan, Louis Shot, ridge of Haines and IA1S. Louise Martin of Haines will repre- sent those two towns. Joseph Kahklen, Frank Booth and Ar thur Johnson are leaving Rake, on the Woodrow and will be the kake representatives. Sitka is sending in 29 persons on three boats and every other town in the Division will be represented Yakutat having already sent in their delegates via Juneau.
 The convention which begins it's session on Tuesday of next week will last until Tuesday the eighteenth. On the closing night the Grand Camp will give a re- ception to their hosts and the convention closed at that time.
 Already rumblings of internal politics are being heard even as for north as Lynn Canal. Before the election of officers for the ensuing year takes place the various candidates will have plenty of time to display their wares to the convention. MT. Paul considered reelection last year only after he had been inn portuned to do so by the Exc cutive Committee. It is doubtful that he will consider reelection this year as he has. already ser we'd two years in the same office. Frank Mercer of Juneau and Louis Shotridge of Haines are being mentioned as candidates for that office. MT. Mercer was the first chairman of the or ganization and MT. Shotridge demonstrated his ability to lead the organization at the Sitke convention. Mrs. Elizabeth James of Sitke is the president of the Sisterhood and it is being re- ported that she will meet with opposition from other candi- dates.
 A matter of vital importance to the fishing industry-the con- fscation of gear without trial for alleged illegal fishing will be taken up and an appeal will be made direct to the Department of Justice through the U. s. Att torney General in an effort to secure the rights and nroperty of resident Alaskans. It is recog- nized by the leaders that it is useless to appeal to Henry o. Malley, U. s. Commissioner of Fisheries in the matter as he opposed a law presented by De- legate Sutherland which provid- ed that before any fishing gear may be confscated the owner must be adjudged guilty of vio- lation of the fishery laws and
 regulations. The other fishery regulations will be taken up and discussed and resolutions offered
 to relieve the present situation
 in the Territory.

Arrest Aliens For i
 Fishing on Sound

Thirteen fishing vessels, said to have been taking salmon in Puget Sound between Ballard and Rolling Bay, were raided by state and federal officials last Friday morning. Five men were arrested and five vessels, gear, nets and other equipment valued at $25,OO0 were seized.
 Warrants charging the five men with being aliens unlaw- fully engaged in taking food fish were issued by Deputy Prose cutor Cordelia M. Thiel, pre- paratory to the filing of formal complaints in Justice John B. Wright's court. The men, held in the county jail, are Paul Pap pas, Spyros Karocianis, Gust Nakis, Nick Marolo and George Deligam.
 Boarded One by One
 Under cover of fog the raiding party, aboard the State Fisheries Department patrol boat Elisha P. Ferry, commanded by Capt. Sam Wellington, quietly overhauled the fishing craft one by one and boarded them. In the party were J. w. Mack, State Fisheries De- partment inspector, and Frank G. Pugsley United States na- turaliZation inspector.
 All of the fishing boats, they reported, were operated by American-born or naturalized citizens, and most of them also were manned by American crews. The Americans were re- leased after investigation. Only boats on which there was found a suspected alien were seized.
 All the boats had gill nets out, according to Mack, when the raiders appeared.
 Three Prisoners Protest
 Three of the prisoners-Pap- pas, Karorcianis and Nakis- are said to have protested that they had applied for citizenship, but a cursory investigation of nat uralization records, Pugsley said, showed no such applications.
 The vessels seized, and their owners, according to the officers, are Minerva, owner George Pap pas; the Peaton, owner Denny Kourukoumelis; the Athens, owner Daniel Kourukoumelis; the 162-CA, owner Spyros Sofiki- lis, and the Evangelina, owner A. Angeles Maveros.
 The boats range in value from $1 500 to $4,500, the officers said, and are equipped with gear, in cluding nets, valued at $500 to $1,OOO each.
