POLICE SEIZED ] 3 j. ]
 MANY MACHINES
Seven Unlicensed Vending Affairs Were Picked Up;
 to Make Arrests

Working quietly during the past few days the vice squad of the police department has rounded up seven unlicensed vending machines ano brought them to headquarters where they were held until their owners have secured the licenses required by city ordinance. Police Superin- tendent William J. Roach announced today that the work of the vice squad marks only the opening step in a city-wide drive against un- licensed vending machines.
 In the future. the superintendent said. any vending machine operator whose apparatus is unlicensed will be brought into city court and charged with violation of the city ordinance requiring licensing. Nc further warnings will be given, he stated. ;,
 Many Machines Licensed
 The number of vending machines licensed in the city this year is d. most nine times as great as in 1885, Last year there were 125 vending machine licenses issued by the po- lice department. Thus far this year more than 925 licenses have been issued. The amount paid for each license varies according to the type of machine. Those which must be licensed include scales, gum vend- ing, peanut vending and cigaret vending machines.
 Up to this year, operators in some cases secured but one license for all their machines. Supt. Roach however, began immediate enforce ment of the law requiring registra- tion and liceAsing of every vending machine in use in the city.
 The vice squad will supplement the work of regular street patrol men by continuing its hunt for un- licensed machines. The law provides heavy fines for those found guilty of violation.

congressman J. Joseph SInlt
 Congressman Smith has for some time been pressing for action on the case of Mrs. Boiko, whose hls- band died last September 21. Col. William J. Shahahan, local veteran leader, and Mrs. Edith E. Ladd, ex- ecutive secretary of the Waterbury chapter, American Red Cross, have both been interested in the matter, and have conferred frequently with the congressman thereon.
 Doubtful Points
 When the question of conpensa- ton for Mrs. Boiko first arose, there were a number of points in the case which made it appear at first doubt ful that pension should be grant, ed. In June the so-called widows Pension Bill" was passed and m- mediately Congressman Smith re. uuested this claim be reviewed un- der the provisions of that act, and today obtained the assurance Of the Veterans Administration that Mrs. Boiko is now eligible for compen- sation. It is believed that this IS one of the first cases in the country reviewed under the provision of the widows Pension Act passed m June.

HOT CARCOES DETERMINED
 BYL0CAL IL.A
Local Longshoremen Load Estebeth, Dart = Gil-
 christ New Official

In order to clear the question as to what constitutes hot cargo, for such local transportation com panies operating out of Juneau as are not considered deep sea- lines, and against which the maritime strike is not effective, a poll of members opinions was taken at the meeting of the local ILA chapter Sunday
 After discussion, the Juneau long shoremen decided to follow the policy adopted in the States, as to cargoes handled by boa. plying in- land waters, such as Puget Sound. The policy adopted, considers as "hot cargo" for local vessels, only freight that has been delivered at the port after the calling of the strike.
 Under the ruling, inasmuch as there has been no freight delivered at Juneau since the strike became effective, local beats, such as the Estebeth and Dart, are allowed to carry any cargo now in Juneau, and are no longer limited to food stuffs, as they were at the last sailing of the Estebeth, announced Frank Gilchrist, newly elected Sec retary, today.
 Accordingly, the Estebeth, which is scheduled to sail for Sitka and way ports tomorrow evening, is loading lumber at the Juneau Lum- Der Mills this afternon, and will carry all such freight as it was not permitted to handle last week
 At the same meeting of the local ILA chapter, last Sunday, George Cox announced his resignation, as Secretary of the local longshore- men, because of some dissatisfac- tion expressed by members of the union as to his judgment on a few occasions.
 Frank Gilchrist, former checker at the Pacific Coast Coal Com pany, was elected by the union members here as their new Secre- tary, to replace Cox. Cox is still member of the local union.

HUN CRY FIVE' MAKES BIG HIT AT
 ROTARY SESSION
Luncheon Today Declared to Have Been B est
 Since Organized

On the motion made by former Rotary President Howard D. Stab- Ter. members attending the weekly luncheon meeting of the Club in the Terminal Cafe today, unani- mously voted today's meeting the best since the local Rotary Clubs inception.
 Highlights of todays meeting were "The Hungry Five" band, consist ing of Byron Miller, music director, at the Juneau High School, playing a trumpet, Jack Glass, bass horn, Jim Glasse. slide trombone. Keith Petrich and Mary Stewart, clarin- cts; a talk on the purposes of Ro- tary. by Charles w.

Long Trail" sig nificant of Armistice Day; and the introduction of Lewis Taylor who will attend the club for a month as a representative of the Juneau High School.
 The Hungry Five" in tramp cos tunes, revealing a lot of individual creative thought on the part Of each, was given hearty applause as they entered the luncheon room playing their instruments, and were called upon for several encores.
 Mary Stewards characterization as a boy, including bristly mus tache, was so delft that numerous members did not recognize her until she was introduced during the lun- cheon.
 At the request of Bert Caro, chair man of the entertainment commit tee, and A. B. Phillips, president of the club, the Hungry Five" gave several more musical numbers at the conclusion of the program, rem iniscent of, but superior to, in the opinion of the Rotarians, of the old-time strilling German bands that were familiar to every young ster 25 or 30 years ago.
