 For Bride

After a long contest that led to the Supreme Court and finally to Congress, John Musill Ulrich former American soldier who married a German girl convicted of charges involving moral turp- itude under the immigration laws, expects to bring his wife, Anna Minno Venzke Ulrich, to his home in New Haven, Conn.
 Only approval by President Hoover. of a Senate bill passed last week by the House stands in the way of enactment of a law that will permit the young wo- man take her place beside her wealthy husband in the realm of Connecticut society with which he is associated.
 It was brought out in the de- bates in Congress that the of lenses were committed when the girl was only fl years old. She was convicted of larceny in three cases during the lean years of the World War. She illegally took a loaf of bread from schoolmate when she was hun gry and the other charges were of corresponding seriousness.
 Ulrich and Miss Venzke were married in 1927 and have lived in Germany most of the time. The former soldier resorted to every available means to bring his bride home.

f Was q Grand and Glorious Day
 h Spite of Rainy and Wet Spots

Despite the inclemency of tn weather throughout the greater portion of the day, the Peters burg 4th of July Committee managed a celebration on the Nations Birthday, which will be long remembered Even a raw chilly, drizzling rain was not enough to dampen the ardor o1 Petersburg patriots. One maj jol change in the program was ne cessary on account of the steam CT failing to arrive until after noon, bringing the speaker ot the day, the Honorable Henry Roden of Juneau, hence the pa triotic exercises were conducted at the MacGregor Theatre in the afternoon instead of in the morning as originally planned. The delay, however, was more than compensated. MT. Roden's remarks, as usual, were decided ly pertinent and cogent and pro- vided much food for serious con- temptation.
 The streets of the town were beautifully decorated with flags and bunting, while thousands of Japanese paper lanterns added to the gala effect.
 With something over $500 at it's disposal, the committee was able to plan many novel and in teresting sports and contests for old and young for which liberal cash prizes were offered, includ- ing pie-eating contest, scooter race, bicycle race, children's foot races, sack race, long distance running race, speed boat races, etc. Prizes in the Mems race ov- CT a distance of approximately two miels were claimed by Mol var, Wayha and Brown.
 A new departure for Peters burg in the way of sports was a halibut gear batting contest in charge of Wayne Walther, buyer for New England Fish Company. Jonas Hollingstad took first money and incidentally hung up a record for other towns to shoot at. He baited and coiled in good shape, IA hooks in 612 minutes. This shades the previous record of seven minutes by a fancy per centage. Second and third hon. centage.
 Cash prizes totalling $75 brot out several formidable contend CTS in the free-fOr- all speed boat race which was run around a stake boat at Mountain Point and return, a distance of 12 or more miles.

Court Refuses Give
 Billings Pardon

The state supreme court re- fused to recommend a pardon for Billings, notice of which was giv- en in an opinion issued on the Fourth of July.
 Some of Mooney's friends are trying to hope that the opinion would not have any effect upon Moneys case. This will be giv- en the attention of Governor Young.
 The supreme courts decision left the governor free to act in Mooneys case, but unless it can be persuaded to reconsider the Billings case, he will have to serve his life sentence in the Fol som prison.

City Council Plans Considerable
 Street Repairs and Improvements

At the regular meeting of the City Council, Monday night, con- siderable routine business was transacted, including the reports of officers and allowing current bills.

 A communication from Terri tOrial Auditor Cash Cole was read requesting payment to the Territory of $500 as the city's share of the cost of the airport construction. Mayor Dinner stated that Highway Engineer, R. J. Sommers had assured him that it would not be necessary for the city to pay this cost un- til the .completio nof the con- struction work and the clerk was so instructed to advise the Board.
 A resolution was passed auth orizing the Mayor and Clerk to make application for a patent in the name of the Town of Pe- terSburg to Lot 2 in Section 33 T. 58 S., R. 79, E. Copper River Meridian comprising 9768 acres for a cemetery site.
 U. s Deputy Marshal c. V. Brow nappeared before the Council with a proposition from the boys who are now on his pay roll offering to build a new street from ''F" Street, near the Fed eral Building, north to the school house, providing the town would furnish the material. The Coun- cil gladly accepted this generous offer and authorized the pur- chase of material at once. The clearing of ground for this i'm proveemnt has already been commenced.
 A resolution was passed pro- viding for the repair or recon struction of the planking on Wis ta Avenue from HeimdahPs pro- perty at the end of the gravel road to and including the bridge at the intersection of Indian Street, the property owners to be assessed for the additional width of street to be constructed.
 The City Clerk was authorized to order from local mills one hundred thousand feet of street lumber.
 Several other improvement projects are on the Councils pro- gram for this season including the improveemnt of Third Street south from the intersection of "E' Street, which was authorized last year; also "C" Street east from Front Street at Brennan's Poo Room; also Front Street by widning and the laying of heavi- CT stringers. A contemplated street building program extend ing over a period of two years will, it is thought put all of the streets in first class repair with out mourning any debt. In ac- cordance with this program, it is possible that the work needed on ID" Street east from the

Oscar Nicholson with his new
 boat the Baby Lou" All three
 of the prize winning boats were powered with 32 h. D. Johnson outboard motors. One unfortun-
 ate incident in connection witt this race was the sWamping al
 the starting post of Claude Roundtree's entry, the "Izzy.'
 This boat which has had a mon- , opoly on first honors here fol 1 several years, bloomed out this season with a new 35 Elto Quad
 and she might have won again if he had stayed in the boat, but when he undertook to swim for it, the other boys ran off and left him.
 Ness, Martens and Hanson, in the order named, claimed the honors for speed boats under 10 horsepower.
 :. The round bottom boat race had been the subject of much good natured persif1age around the cold storage plant for some time and the boys had their en- zines petted up to the Nth degree of eagerneSs. In fact, Dr. Miller would not have been greatly sur prised at any time in the past two weeks to see four or five of those JohnsonS pushing the dock office around the bay. Sammy Gauff1n and Dick Miller took first and second honors, as usual with Chuck Diven and Bert Bu- chanan a close third and fourth. From the drop of the hat to the finish, this was anybody's race.
 A fireworks display, both night and day added materially to the general enjoyment. Some of the children had never witnessed nighttime fireworks and many were the Oh's and Ans as the scintillating patterns of colored stars lighted up the sky. Every body enjoyed the fireworks, ex- cept perhaps, F. R. Ravens, who appeared to take fright on light ing the first fuse and ran bazz- edwards into a muskeg pot-hole up to his armholes but he stuck valiantly by his mortars until an armistice was declared.
 The celebration ended with the grand free dance at the Sons of  Norway Hall with music by the Jazz Orchestra. Perhaps none of us have any too much of the Spirit of '76" and if any of us had too much of the spirits of 1880" two weeks old from Ru- pert kind that came in skates of gear, white bags or even the distilled essence of moonlight from nearer home, it must be said, they were not in evidence on the street, and taken all in all, by and large, it was grand and glee- orious Fourth of July.

Declares Officials Con. niue to Euade Law


 nibition administrator for New York up till July 1 resigned when ordered to Boston to take charge of alcohol permits under the Treasury Department.
 He charged that his transfer resulted from refusal to grant or restore brewery, whiskey and alcohol permits which local pol iticians and certain adminis- tration officials in Washington feel must be restored to obtain necessary support for the Re- publican ticket in New York this fall"
 After four years in prohib1- tion enforcement, with three years of that time as admins trator in New York, I publicly declare that certain Treasury officials who have been charged with enforcement of the Nation al Prohibition Act, and who are still to remain in charge of kin dred activities, have not been sincere in their efforts to enforce this law" he said.
 "I know nothing of any such circumstances as MT. Campbell describes as to prohibition en- forcement," said Semour Low man, assistant secretary of the Treasury and formerly a New York state official, replying to Major Campbell.
 Enforcement responsibility has passed from Secretary Mellon to Attorney General Mitchell and Mitchells moves are, being close ly watched for indications o1 whether his course will differ radically from that pursued bJ Secretary Mellon. This interest has been accentuated by the at tack by Major Campbell upor certain administration official! in Washington" Representative Celler, Democrat, New York, in troduced a resolution calling fol an investigation by the House Judiciary Committee, of charge! made by Campbell.
