MAYOR AND FIRE CHAIRMAN
 PLEA FOR COOPERATION

The week of April 26 has been designated by the Town Council as Clean Up" and Paint ID" week and all citizens are urged to do all they can to improve the appearance of their property. The city trucks will be available all during tue week to haul debris to the city dump Persons having debris need only pile il near the street and call the city clerk for the truck to get it.
 In anticipation or the cleanup Mayor Hantord says, Tt has bean customary in the past years to des- ignate a week as clean up week. earnestly request the citizens of Wrangell to cooperate this year and make this week just what the name implies Clean Up Week..
 Vnsitors This Summer
 Many distinguished visitors will be in Wraugeu this year and tour ists from all parts of the country. Let Us be conscious of the appear ance of our streets and town. There are old buildings on front street which are fire hazards and uusight- ly. The citizen who owns property with buildings that are not habit able l feel could greatly increase the value of their property by destroy ing these unsightly structures.
 In the very near future the L. $. Public Health engineer will visit Wrangell His report on the appear ance of our town will be mad a matter of record Let us make that record one to be proud of
 Askc Support
 Fred Cunningham, chairman of the council Fire Committee asks for the support of all citizens in be- half Of Fire protection. He says. In support of our annual cleanup week and in behalf of the fire protection of our city let us not hesitate to strive necessarily to keep our little town one of the most beautiful and safest spots along the coast Of AL aska.
 This project could be successfully attained with the full support of our citizens. Old buildings which are no longer fit for occupancy are a men ace to both the owners and their neighbors m that they usually rep resent an unsightly surrounding and a fire trap.
 Residents often wonder why, if they apply for insurance, the rates are abominable Ii one would only stop to think and investigate the conditions that exist they would gladly appreciate the protection of an insurance policy.
 Unfair To Men
 Tt seems unfair that residents should expect the support and pro- lection of Fire Department (and at that a volunteer group of mem when such fire hazards exist IS moss covered roofs, improperly in- stalled oil burners and tanks, stove pipe chimneys, old houses and dil- apidated shacks that have been neg lected by inattention and forgetfull- ness"
 Many property owners have al ready commenced cleaning up an m- proving their property. Several new buildings are in propress and others are being planned. With a week de- voted to thorough cleaning up, it is felt, Wrangell can present a picture as fine as any town in Alaska"

Judge Says Guilty Verdict
Would Open Way for Con-
Summate BIackmaiI.'

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, October 22.-State
Senator Melvin L. Fine was acquitted
today Of charges of conspiring to
transport two girls from Baltimore to
Annapolis for immoral purposes during
the last session Of the Legislature.
Judge Eugene O'Dunne ordered the
acquittal after hearing the case with
out jury. He said verdict Of guilty
would open the way for "consummate
blackmail."
Judge O'Dunne added: 81 take the
responsibility on this basis, and this
alone, of rendering a verdict of not
guilty"
Only two State witnesses were called.
They were Leon G. Turrou, agent of
the Federal Department of Justice,
and Shirley Kaminski, convicted OF
operating a disorderly house.
Mrs. Kaminski testified that Senator
Fine telephoned her asking that two
girls be sent to Annapolis.
Turrou told of transcript of tele-
phone conversations overheard after
wire to her house was tapped.
Turrou identified one caller as Sena-
tor Fine. and said the caller pursued
a previous request made by another
person and promised IF things &c
right the girls are apt to make lot
Of dough-"
Counsel for Fine based their argu-
ments on contentious the evidence
failed to support an indictment charg-
ing conspiracy to transport women fol
immoral purposes.
G. C. A. Anderson of defense coun-
sci argued: Fine never did do any,
thing and never was to do anything
that would constitute conspiracy. A
solicitation is one thing and a con-
spiracy is another. This might very
we'll be solicitation, but there is nc
mention of solicitation in the indict-
ment. Inciting is not conspiracy.

A. Farley, chairman of the Democratic

night that enemies of the Roosevelt

Sometimes, he told an audience
OF California Democrats, 1.-The strate-
gists of panic speak in the sepulchral
tones of your own fellow citizen,
former President Hoover, who knows
what happened, but apparently does
not know why it happened.
Sour Democrats Accused.
Sometimes their mouthpiece is a
disgruntled Democrat out of step with
his party and fancying that it is the
party that is out of step with him.
More frequently it is the news
papers which sought to put the Gov
ernor of Kansas in Roosevelt's place"
Speaking only few days after the
stock market had experienced its
sharpest break in more than four
years, Farley denounced political op-
ponents, who, he said, hail every
drop in the market as additional evil
dence that the country is going to
the dogs"
Hits "Greedy Group"
with a whole Nation voicing its
satisfaction of the manner in which
the Democratic administration is do
ing its job" he declared, this jealous,
envious, greedy group is trying to
make our people believe that the cap
tain who has brought our ship through
peril after peril is bent on casting
that ship on the rocks"
Unable to deny the presence of
prosperity" he said, they say it will
not last. In the face of restoration
that is the wonder of the world, they
proclaim that our Democratic admin
istration is running the country"
