FILIPINOS INDULGE IN AN
ORGY WHOLESALE DOUBLE
CROSSING OF COUNTRYMEN

Santiago Villaneuva and Miguel
zamora, Filipinos, were found
guilty last Saturday, reports the
Juneau Empire, by a jury in the
United States Commissioners Court
of having planted" a cache of
moonshine liquor on the premises
of fellow countryman here last
March. The victim of their plot
was Setura DeGracia who paid a
fine of $500 as the result of the
planted liquor being found by Fed
eral officials raiding the place.
DeGracia now proposes to seek
recovery of the $500 he paid to the
Federal Government because of
the plot against him. This, it was
intimated by Assistant Attorney
G. w. Folta, might be a long, COM
plicated task. He was uncertain
whether the President has the
power to remit fine of this ma
ture which has already been paid
and the funds distributed. 1t may
be necessary to get special act
through Congress in order to give
DeGracia's money back to him.
Zamora, who several weeks ago
made an affidavit and gave it to
the United States Attorneys Of
flee that he and Villaneuva had
planted the whiskey, repudiated
the document in testifying be-
fore the jury. He said 1t was
wholly untrue and that he had
made it at DeGracia's request and
because the latter had paid him
$3.50 to do so. The purpose OF
DeGracia, he alleged, was to "get"
Villaneuva.
Eddy Alliguaya, another little
brown brother, however, testified
for the government that Zamora
and Villaneuva had solicited his
aid in planting the cache and that
he had refused to have anything
to do with 1t. Zamora retorted that
Eddy was fabrfcating. He said
when he left for Seattle recently,
he had paid Eddy $40 to tell the
story so that DeGracia would
have a witness against Villaneuva
but when he was arrested him
self, it didn't go. But Eddy had
told his story and stuck to 1t.
Judge Charles Sey today said
he had not fixed any time for i'm
posing sentence on the two men.
He had the case under consid-
Grafton.

Chamber Urges City
Palnt-Up campaign

The main topic of discussion
alter ire disposal of routine bust
ness, at the Chamber of Com
merce luncheon Monday was the
matter of Cleanup Week All
members agreed that the Town
of Wrangell needs a coat of paint
very badly and they would indi-
vidually and collectively urge
every Wrangell resident to par
ticipate in the city cleanup effort,
to the extent of painting up as
we'll as cleaning up. Paint is now
cheaper, it was pointed out, than
it has been for many years.
The secretary was Instructed to
write letter to the Alaska Native
Brotherhood asking the coopera-
ton of its members in the clean
up week program.
Leo Mccormack was appointed
committee of one to interview
Marshal H. D. Campbell regarding
the use of prison labor in city
work and public improvements.
According to reports Petersburg
built nearly all its new streets
in the past two years with the aid
of prison labor.
The Chamber advocates the use
of prison labor for improvement
projects which the town would
find impossible to finance at this
time, hence, the prisoners would
not be throwing any man out of
job.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION
(Ketchikan Chronicle)

In less than a week, all Alas
ka will go to the polls to cast votes
for the candidates who are seeking
November. The primary election
is in the nature of a final nomi
nation. Voters may vote either the
republican or the democratic
ticket.
The primary has been designed
fundamentally as a safeguard OF
the rights of the people, to pre-
vent the selection of candidates
for office by hand-picked conven-
lions. If it is to fulfill that pur-
pose, it must have the support of
all the voters. For that reason, if
for no other the primary is i'm
portant and should be regarded so
by every eligible voter.
In the republican ticket this
year there is no contest for the
delegateship. Frank Foster and
John Rustgard, however, seek
nomination for the one candidate
as attorney general. Rustgard, al
though appointed judge, has
made a-,public statement to the
effect that he is still candidate
for the attorney general nomina-
ton by his party. There is also
contest for auditor, with Percy
G. Charles, Cash Cole and H. l.
Lucas seeking election. There are
four candidates for the two dele
gates to the national convention:
Will Chase, j. H. Davies. e. S.
.1ungerford and Karl Thiele. The
delegates, it might be explained,
are not nominated in the primary,
but are actually elected. The same
holds true of national committee
man, for which post both Edward
A. Rasmussen and John T. (Jack)
White are in the field.
In the democratic party there
is first of all a contest for the
delegateship nomination, with An
Ihony j. Dimond, George B. Grigs-
by and A. H. Zeigler in the field.
For Territorial representatives,
four of whom are to be nominated,
there are eight candidates: F. j.
Baronovich, Joe Green, G. H. Hell
geson, Thomas Judson, j. w. Ke-
hoe, Frank J. Peratrovich, F. A.
Sorri and Albert Vile. For ma
tional committeeman j. J. Connors,
John w. Frame and R. E. Hard
castle are in the field. For six
delegates to the national conven-
ton there are the following can
didates: T. H.Deal, M. M. Heath,
D. w. Hoskins, w. B. Kirk, ]. T.
Morgan, Harry F. Morton, John
B. Rice, A. A Shonbeck, John W.
Troy, Eugene Wacker, T. A. Wake
field, John Walmer.
The Importance of this election
cannot be too strongly empha-
sized. Even in the absence of con-
tests for all offices in both parties,
every voter should take the oppor-
tunity to cast his ballot at the
election next Tuesday A wise Sc
lection of party candidates will
greatly clarity the situation at
the general election in November,

BarOnOylch Writes
Wrangell Friends

Joe Baronoyich, for many years
a resident of Wrangell. this week
sent the following letter for publ
cation in the Sentinel as the best
way open to him to greet his for
mer Wrangell friends and neighbour
and explain his attitude toward
the political questions of the day:
April II. 1892.
Ketchikan, Alaska,
To The Voters of Wrangell:
AS a candidate for nomination
for Representative in the Terrific
election on April &c, l herewith
make a brief statement of princi-
plies for which l stand.
l am in favor of equal rights for
all, special privileges for none.
l am in favor OF the Primary
Law, and very strong against its
repeal.
l am in favor OF resident seiners,
and the control of the Fisheries by
the Territory.
believe in the transfer of all
Federal control of the Fisheries to
the Alaska Territorial Legislature.
l do not know whether you are
supporting the Democratic candi-
dates or not, but am candi
date on that ballot, and l take the
liberty to write to you that l may
solicit your support if you vote
that ballot at the Primary election.
OF course, if you take a Republican
ballot at the Primary you will not
find my name on it and l cannot
expect your vote.
In a country that depends al
most entirely ON its fishing Indus
try, it is only right and proper
that you choose fisherman to
represent you in the Legislature.
The greatest Delegate to Con-
gress that Alaska has ever had was
taken off of fishing boat.
/ am under no obligation to any
person. company, or corporation,
and will stand for the peoples
rights.
Very truly yours,
F. J. BARoNOVICH.
