GERMANY PUTS BOYCOTT UPON
 JEW BUSINESS
Brown Shirted Nazis Post ing Signs on All Es-
 tablishments SHOPS UNDER GUARD
 OR BEING PICKETED Members of Race Are Re- ported Fleeing - Hun dreds Go to Denmark

BERLIN, April Many Jewish stores remained open today after the nationwide boycott on theil business began at 10 o'clock this morning despite anti-Semitic signs pasted on their show windows bS enthusiastic young Nazi Storm Troopers.
 Ten big Berlin department stores employing 48,O0O throughout Ger many, remained closed The major ity of the employees of one store are Gentiles.
 Even among the Christian popu- lation the boycott measure does not meet with unqualified approval This is indicated by excited groups assembled before many stores de batting the measure.
 Nazis Are Busy
 Brown shirted Nazis busily moved to and fro pasting signs of identi- cation on Jewish stores, standing guard or picketing before the shops and driving through the streets displaying boycott signs.
 Nazi brass bands made the ail reverberate with srappy military marches.
 The Swastika and Imperial flags are displayed on street cars.
 Jews Are Fleeing
 All trains entering Denmark are crowded with Jews fleeing from the boycott. Several hundred are re- ported to have disembarked al Copenhagen.
 Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Ca bin Q { Minister of Propaganda, keynoted the campaign with a warning that unless the foreign atrocity cam paign ceases absolutely, the boy colt will be. resumed next Wednes- day"
 Late yesterday a one-day boycott was authorized instead of the pro- posed indefinite boycott. Only small comfort was derived from this by more than half million distracted German Jews who to all practical purposes are already ostracized To- cally.
 Measures have been taken to bar Jews from legal practice and re- moving them from all courst, hos pitals and public institutions, ir fact doors are being closed to them all around.
 No Disorders
 No disorders were reported up to the end of this afternoon. Few Jews were seen on the street and others accepted the situation in a picnic spirit as the day coincided with April Fools Day and Bis marck's birthday, bringing the peo- pie down town in balmy sunny spring weather.

SCORES KILLED BY HIGH WINDS
 IN THREE AREAS
Hundreds Are Reporte ted Injured in Battered
 Southern States
PROPERTY DAMAGE IS ALSO GROWING
Rain Follows Gales with Floods Now Promised
 in River Valley
NEW ORLEANS, April l.

NEW ORLEANS, April l. The mad Spring storm which for two days has bat tered the South from Texas to Alabama has already left 6S known dead, hundreds in- jured, large property damage, and threats of flood in it's wake.
 Mississippi has suffered the heaviest loss of life, the known toll reaching 3S.
 Twenty persons have been killed in Texas, nine in Louis- iapa and one in Arkansas.
 The death list mounted heavily last night as reports trickled in from communiti ties cut. off by tangled communication lines and flooded highways.
 Keeps Moving
 The wind today appears to have moved northeastward.
 The storm whipped the prairies of Texas like fairs, killing, injur- ing and wrecking, then nicked the southwestern corner of Arkansas and drove up the Mississippi Valley with tornadic winds and a deluge of rain that blew horizontal sheets and striking at North and Central Louisiana.
 Speed Increased
 The winds then blasted their way across Mississippi with a steadily increasing speed.
 Sandersville was the hardest hit with IA dead, eight of them being children under school age.
 The devastation missed the larger cities but the villages were pill laged.

ONE OF SENATE COLDSTEIN SAYS BILLS APPEALS DEBT REDUCTION
 OVER 40 LAWS GREATEST NEED
Many Obsolete and Inap- plicable Laws Repealed
 by Single Measure

Using less than half dozen lines on a single sheet of paper, the Senate today wiped off the statute books 42 laws affecting the Territory, passing Senate Bill No. 21, which provides for their repeal. by a unanimous vote.
 AS explained by Senator Frawley, Chairman of the Judiciary Com mittee, these laws, all sections of the Compiled Laws of Alaska, are either obsolete, inapplicable or else covered by later statutes enacted by the Legislature.
 The Judiciary Committee, which is aiding Henry Roden in the preparation of the code and session laws for compilation and codifica- ton, has many more such repeals in progress and contemplated, and if it's recommendations are follow ed, it is certain that the 1883 Leg islature will repeal more laws than it will pass.
 The Senate today also passed Senate Bill No. 36, relative to the choosing of jurors in Commission er's Courts, amending section 1907 of the code. It had under consid- eration House Bill No. ', relative to publication of delinquent tax notices, when it recessed at noon.
 Three new bills were introduced in the Senate this morning. One of these, by Senator Shattuck, pro- vided for legal rights of illegitimate

Head of Economy Ticket Pledges to Cut City Debt
 $l0,000 During Year

Declaring that the Clty's obliga- tions are too heavy, the Economy Ticket today declared its intention if elected next Tuesday, of putting into effect a program of municipal administration that will make pos sible the payment of at least $l0,00C annually of the bonded debt. Its views were reve aled by former Mayor I. Goldstein, who heads the ticket as candidate for Mayor. "A sinking fund should have been established years ago to provide for debt retirement, but it was not done. If our ticket is successful in next weeks election, we shall inn mediately create such fund and out of it retire minimum of $10,000 yearly of the City's out standing school and sewer bonds, he said.
 My associates and I, comprising the Economy ticket, in common with hundreds of taxpayers of Ju- neau are convinced that the out standing need of the community is the adoption of definite pro- gram of debt amortization. Experi- ence of the past few years is suf- ficient to prove that in no other way can these debts be met and the credit of the municipality kept good.
 "T'he school bond issue was float ed in June, 1880, almost three years ago. Except for accruing in terest, which was paid as it became due, the $10o,000 issue remains un- reduced. Payments should have started in 1880. Had this been done the saving to the taxpayers in interest alone would have been well worthwhile.
 While stressing economy in ad- ministration and debt payments our ticket is pledged to maintain the public schools at their present high standard of efficiency, the Fire and Police Departments, also
 We are not in favor of the dis trict improvement plan sponsored by the current administration.

Pointing to long list of perma- nent public Improvements m d Q during the past few years which have carried Juneau to the fore front among Alaskan communi- ties, and citing figures to show that the City's position is not unsound as a flew critics" have alleged, the Progressive Ticket, headed by May or Thomas B. Judson, today pledg- ed itself to reduce the City's debt during the next year by $20,000.
 It will do this, said statement issued by Councilman Wallis s. George, who is not himself seek ing reelection, without effecting the efficiency of any department of the municipal organization. We will cut the debt by that figure and keep the schools and Fire Depart ment and Police Department on the high plane they have been brought during the past several years" said the statement.
 Pledges Utmost Economy
 We believe in conducting the af- fairs of the City in the most eco- nomical manner, and that all ex- penditures made should be for per- manent improvements rather than for temporary and makeshift ex- pedients.

 If the present City Administra- tion had accomplished nothing ex- cept erect the new High School Building and installed the concrete sewer system that covers practi- cally the entire town, criticism against it for not beginning retire ment of the bonded debt might be justified.
