LIQUOR BOARD
 ACTS TO CURB
 ILLICIT TRADE
Restricts Sales and Ship ments of Liquor from
 States to Licensees

Moving to curb possible ship ments of alcoholic liquors into the Territory that might enter into the bootleg trade, the Territorial Board of Liquor Control today adopted a new regulation giving it control over the sale of such liquors in the Territory and forbidding the con- signment of them from points outside of Alaska to any person not duly licensed by the Board.
 Up to date there has been no restrictions on sales by representa- tives of distributors or wholesalers. Reports reaching the Board. indi- cated that some sales had been made to individuals not holding licenses.
 The regulation adopted today said:
 Tt shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to so- licit orders for, or sell, any intoxi- eating liquors in the Territory of Alaska for present or future de- livery to any person, firm or cor poration not duly licensed under the provisions of Chapter II, Ses- sion Laws of Alaska, 1883, or under these regulations.
 And it shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation outside the Territory of Alaska to conslgn intoxicating liquors of any kind to any person, firm or cor poration in- the Territory of Alaska not holding license under the provisions of Chapter II, Session Laws of Alaska, 1883, or these regu- lations.
 All shipments made to the Ter ritory Of Alaska contrary to the provisions of these regulations shall be deemed contraband and subject to confiscation by the Territory of Alaska or it's officers. Provided, however, that the provisions of these regulations shall not apply to sacramental wines"
 The new regulation was promul- gated today and is effective im- mediately.

DANIEL HERATY IS REPORTED AS
 MISSING TODAY
Last Seen Tuesday Evening Near City Float =
 May Be Drowned

Daniel Heraty has been missing since Tuesday night, according to w. O. Carlson, manager of the cannery employment bureau in the office of the New England Fish Company.
 Heraty was employed as a car penter Tuesday to go to Port AL thOrp, and when last seen was on his way to the mail boat Fern at 1l:3O o'clock Tuesday night. He did not reach the boat, and efforts to locate him about town since that time have met with no success.
 As the Fern lay at the City Float at the time, it is thought that Heraty may have fallen into the channel.
 Efforts to locate the man brought out the fact that he was employed by the E. c. w. during the win ter, and that his registration card gave the name of Frank Ask, Skagway merchant, to be notified in case of accident.
 The case was reported to Unit ed States Commissioner J. F. Null len this morning for official ac- tion.

BOARD REFUSES
 GRANT LICENSE
 TO FIRST CITY
Attorney General Truitt Rules City Cannot En-
 gage in Liquor Trade

On the basis of a ruling delivered to it by Attorney General James s. Truitt, in which it was held that municipal corporations in AL aska could not legally engage in the liquor business, the Board of Liquor Control today by unani- nous vote refused to grant a li- cense to the city of Ketchikan to own and operate retail liquor store
 In face of the Attorney Generals opinion, said Gov. John w. Troy, there was no other course for the Board to take. All members were present except Frank A. Boyle, Sec retary, who is now in the States.
 Climax of Fight
 The application filed by the Ket- chikan municipal authorities eli maxed agitation against the Board of Control and it's regulations which was started there even before the Board was officially organized and prior to the promulgation of any of it's regulations. Shortly after they were issued, a special election was called by the Council there to submit the question of vesting the city with monopolistic control over retail sales in the city. At this election by vote of 252 to ITO, the electors favored the municipal store. The application for a license was filed immediately An appro- priation of $7500 was made to stock and operate the store.
 At the same time, the Council passed an ordinance prohibiting pri- vate sale of alcoholic liquors con taining in excess of IT per cent alcohol by volume. It also passed a resolution prohibiting any City from engaging in the liquor trade.
 Put Up to Board
 Upon receipt of the application, the Board wrote the Council ask ing if it thought it could legally engage in the liquor business under the provisions of Section 12, Chap ter 97, Session Laws of Alaska, 1923. This act is the municipal code and the twelfth section defines the power and jurisdiction of the City Council.
 Late this week the Board re- ceived a radiogram from Mayor P. J. Gilmore of Ketchikan saying that the Council did not desire to express an opinion and that it was the duty of the Board, itself, to pass upon that matter.
 Cites Many Authorities
 The question was thereupon re- ferred to Attorney General Truitt for an opinion which was trans mitted by him yesterday to the Board. It held that the City of ketchikan cannot, under it's char ,er, and the general laws of Alaska, the organization and of municipal corpora ions, engage in the private enter prise of selling intoxicating liquor, especially if by so doing it becomes necessary to appropriate the tax payers funds. That the action of ,he City Council of the City of ketchikan in appropriating the sum of $7,500 to engage in the enterprise of selling intoxicating iquor was ultra wires. The Board ,f Liquor Control should not ap- prove the application of the said City of Ketchikan to sell intoxicat- Ing liquor."
 The Attorney General cited many authorities to sustain his opinion. The Board endorsed it unani-
