NUGGETS ARE
 UNANIMOUS IN
 PRAISE OF TRIP
Had a Wonderful Time and Were Treated Perfectly
 Swell,' Say Girls

We've had wonderful trip, but we're glad to be back home" is the way three of Juneaus seven Better Times winners greeted their friends when the north-bound Yukon docked here this morning The three are Esther Davis, Thais Bayers, and Elizabeth Kaser, and they all re- turned greatly refreshed and more attractive than ever.
 The trip was all that the Better Times Committee and The Daily Alaska Empire had promised, Els ther Davis said today. It is never to-be-forgotten trip, and worth all the effort expended to win, she said. The three returning girls were unanimous in their praise of the Catalina Island side trip as the high light of the tour. They took a ferry to the little island community off the California Coast and enjoyed rides in the glass bottomed boats.
 We received more publicity than all the Washington and Oregon girls put together" Miss Davis said. Tn Los Angeles, members of the L. A. Yukon Club called at our hotel with lovely corsages and individual bou- quets of orange blossoms. They all inquired about Juneau as they had all been there back and forth on their way to the Interior The Los Angeles Times took picture of the seven Juneau winners and then took picture of the entire group, but when the paper came out, just our Juneau picture was used.
 Treated Perfectly Swell'
 Tt was the first time any of us had ever been in California, with the exception of Miss Kaser. We were treated perfectly swell all the way, and visited the movie studios and the gorgeous homes of the movie stars.
 Tn Seattle, Ruth Lundell, Eleanor Gruber, Thais Bayers, and myself were guests of the Chamber of Com merce before our boat sailed north. We all had to give a little talk, but we didn't feel like strangers for Curtis Shattuck was there, and MT. Warrack (J. B. Warrack, of the War rack Construction Company, and they made us feel at home"
 Miss Davis said that Eleanor Grub CT and Ruth Lundell are now visit ing friends and relatives in Seattle, Catherine York is in Portland, and Ida Roller is now enroute home on an Alaska-bo steamer.
 Was Not Seasick
 Miss Bayers agreed with Miss Davis and Miss Kaser about the won- ders of the trip, she adding that she believed the trip meant more to her than anything in her life, as here- tofore, she had never been out of this part of Alaska. She wished to deny, too, she said, the rumors that she was seasick on the trip to Seattle. She insisted on correction of the statement that Bayers was seasick!

Judge Halstead L. Ritter-th By HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, April '. = The Senate of the United States tenn porarily laid aside regular duties yesterday and embarked upon one of the rarest of dramatic govern mental procedures an impeach- ment trial.
 A Florida Federal District Judge -Halsted L. Ritter-charged with high crimes and misdemeanors in office" appeared yesterday at high noon before the bar of the Senate to be judged guilty or innocent.
 The white haired, sallow-com- plexioned Florida jurist, elevated to the Federal bench by President Coolidge, is the twelfth person ir the naton's history to face a Sem ate court of impeachment.
 A President, Senator, Secre- tary of War and eight Federal Judges have preceded him.
 While every effort will be made to expedite the trial of Ritter SC that it will not interfere with the rush of the closing days of this session of Congress, the very na- ture of the procedure requires the utmost in dignity and solemnity.
 A President Was Tried
 The most celebrated impeachment trial was that of President Andrew Johnson, accused of usurpation of the law in violating the tenure ot office act. Only one vote of the requisite two-thirds saved Johnson from conviction and removal from office.
 William Blount, Senator from Tennessee, was the first impeach- ment trial defendant. Accused of sedition, the charges were dismiss ed for lack of jurisdiction.
 Only one Justice of the Supreme Court has ever faced custer. He was Samuel Chase, accused of mis- conduct at trials, who finally was acquitted. 7
 The Secretary of War to be im- peached was William K. Belknap, charged with bribery. He was ac- quilted, however, after he had re- signed from the Cabinet in 1876.
 Four Judges Acquitted
 Of the eight Federal Judges or dered before the bar of the Senate. four were acquitted, thre found guilty and removed from office, and one resigned before verdict could be rendered.

 The Judiciary Committee studies the evidence and recommends the action to be followed by the House. In the case of Judge Ritter, charg- ed with accepting $4,5c0 from a former law partner who had been allowed a s75O0O fee in receiver ship, the House voted 18l to l46 to

BUNNELL HERE
 AFTER MISSION
 IN WASHINGTON
President of Alaska Univer- sity Has Been Work
 ing on Bills

Charles E. Bunnell, President of the University of Alaska, who re- gently spent six weeks in Wash ington, D. C., in support of Senate Bill 3784, "A bill to extend the benefits of the Adams Act, the Purnell Act, and the Capper-Ket- cham Act to the Territory of AL aska, and for other purposes" is a passenger aboard the Yukon en- route to Fairbanks.
 'The bill has a favorable report by the Senate Committee on Agri- culture" Dr. Bunnell said today, "and will soon have a hearing be- fore the House b-Committee on Agriculture. At present the only question as to whether or not it will lose out is on account of major legislation"
 The bill introduced by Senator Lewis B. Schwenenbach, Democrat, Washington, proposes to extend to the Territory of Alaska the author ization for appropriations for the support of agricultural experiment stations contained in the Adams and Purnell Acts, and for the SUD- port of cooperative extension work in agriculture and home economies contained in the Capper- -Ketcham Act, with a provision for annual increases in the authorization of appropriations for Alaska until the totals now available to the States under those Acts are reached.
 Appropriations
 Section 2, which deals with ex- pertinent station work. authorizes an appropriation under the Adams Act and the Purnell Act to the Territory of Alaska beginning with the fiscal year ending June 30, 1886, in the amount of $10,000 and annual increases of $5,000 each Suc- ceeding year up to and including the fiscal year ending June 30, 1943, and an annual increase of $l0,000 for each of the fiscal years ending June 30, 1944, to June 30, 1946, inclusive, when the aggregate annual appropriation would be s75,- 900. There after the annual total of the Adams Act and Purnell Act runds would be $75,000.
 The apparent purpose of the bill is to provide for ultimately effect ing the complete change of policy whereby the Federal experiment stations in Alaska are discontinued and the agricultural experiment. sta-

CITY ELECTION
 CALLING FORTH
 "STEADY' VOTE
Eight Hundred Cast Ballots Up to 2: 45 O'Clock
 This Afternoon

Although the flow of voters to the polls for the city election was considered by election officials as steady" relatively light vote, 314, had been cast at 2:45 pm, to- day out of the total registration of 2,302, a revised figure after re- movals had been checked against the 2,377 reported yesterday.
 Last year a count at noon show ed 512 had voted, approximately 25 per cent of the 1898 voters regist- cred in 1886; however, a year ago the afternoon and evening voting ran heavy, amounting to total vote of 1922 N
 This year until 2:45 pm, the first precinct had recorded vote of 407, out of 1,064 registered; the second precinct 254 out of 763 reg istered, and the third precinct, 153 out of ATS registered.
 Quick Voting
 Little discussion or hesitation on the part of voters was noticed at the polls. The great majority, ap- parently, had made up their minds and walked to the voting booths and marked their ballots quickly without study or hesitation.
 Heavy. voting during the noor hour anticipated by election of ficials did not materialize, although it picked up somewhat after the lunch hour.
 It is believed that a number oi the candidates will make a drive to get more voters out before the closing time of the polls, o'clock tonight. As pointed out before, the vote last year came late and it is possible that this year it will hap pen again, although little of the spiri te d political fireworks that characterize last years campaign have been brought out this year and as consequence the vote may be relatively lighter.
 Those who are being voted on today are:
 A Mayor, three members of the City Council and School Board member are to be chosen. R. E. Robertson, Chairman of the School Board, is unopposed for reelection.
 Three Mayoralty tickets are in the field. The Peoples Ticket is headed by Mayor I. Goldstein, seek ing reelection for the fourth con- secutive time, and includes for the Council Ralph H. Beistline, seek ing re-election; Oscar Harri and James J. Connors, Jr. The Busi- ness Economy Administration Tick ct is headed by Wallis S. George, for years Councilman and now seeking the office of Mayor. Run ming with him for the Council are Frank McCafferty, c. O. Sabin and R. J. Sommers. N. G. Nelson is the Mayoralty candidate on the Citizens Economy Ticket. Coun- cilmen candidates are Louis Dyr- dahl, Henry Meier and Severin Swanson.
 The polls will be open tonight until 2 pm. with voting in the cus- tomary places. Voters in Precinct No. 1 cast their ballots at the Fire Hall; Precinct No. 2, in the Vene- tian Shop at Front and Main Sts., and Precinct No. in the Home Grocery building at Seventh and Willoughby.
