 Fire Hazard
 Fire Marshal Den Lahey has de- ecribed the building as fire haz- ard" but said that he will not take issue with the aldermen in their selection, only that smoking will not hc allowed during voting hours, nor will use of the lanterns now hung in the polling place" be tol- erated at that time,
 While . lamp cord type of wiring has been started from the house to the barn, as viewed yesterday, this sort of wiring cannot be passed by the electrical inspector under the ordinance, he said today. InSpec- tor O'Rourke said that the ordi- nance requires that & licensed con- tractor install wiring with steel, or other conduits.
 Mr. Smethurst is reported as say ing that he planned wiring the barn" and implied that he will bear the cost, estimated at $65. The barn Is something more than 100 feet from the road, MT. Smethurst expects to receive s26 for rental Of the barn as & polling place.
 No Business!
 Another matter for the aldermen will be the suggested change of the polling place originally designed at 7OT Cooke street, the overlook Drug store, to the Mary Abbott school because the drug store owner does not wish to close his business for tho day, as would be required.
 Still another matter will be the question of insurance of the 62 vot- ing machines. now placed in their originaliy- allotted places by the Mill plaln Trucking company, selected by Controller Sherwood l.. Row land to handle the Job for $500.

 The Smethurst barn, however where two of the machines have been installed, has been described as fire hazard" and as such would seem to officials and the aldermen to be without the category of safety by which the insurance on the SS,000 worth of machines there would Dc protected under the policy devised by Controller Rowland.
 In regards to the store at b22 Baldwin street, which was selected by the Republican aldermen of tho committee which engaged the poll. ing places in preference to ODon- nelps hall, 1t was reported that the light company has refused to under take the expense of installing a meter for electricity there and this cost, estimated at about $l2, will have to be borne by the city, 1t is understood,

COUNT TISzA'S
 BIC GAME HUNT
 IS BIG SUCCESS
Young Blueblood Headed Back to Europe and
 Possible War Service

Count Kalman Tisza, of Buda pest, Hungary, who passed through Juneau on the Aleutian this morn ing after a hunting trip in the Interior and Cook Inlet, is heading back to Europe with two worries,
 One, the Count has received word from Europe that war danger is at high point = and because the Count belongs to Hungary's army it, may be that the rifle shooting the Count has been doing in AL aska in the last few weeks is but ironic practice for more grim work than shooting big game animals.
 Two, the Count still has his Tyrolean hat studded with em- blems of the hunt in many corners of the earth, and how to portray the results of his Alaska hunt (one sheep, one moose and two bear) on that Tyrolean hat is something ot a problem.
 Forgetting troubled Europe, where Count Tisza has large land hold ings and a happy married home the 25-year- -old blueblood hunter was ecstatic over his hunting ex- periences.
 He made his trip with Kingman Brewster, prominent Washington D. C., lawyer associated with Sen ator SteiWer, and also with A. A Bartlett of Louisville, Kentucky, and J. R. Whitney, worlds largest mink rancher from Escanaba, Michigan
 In the Wood River country, Brew ster and Count Tisza each got his sheep after long pack horse trip Separating then from Whitney and Bartlett, who went to the Anchor age area for fishing, Count Tisza and Brewster went to the Skilak Lake country in the Kenai where each got his moose and bear.
 The Count shot two black bear and his moose there, and Brewster got two black bear and big grizzly that measured eight feet nine in- ches squared.
 If Europe doesn't Ego crazy and go to war" Count Tisza and a friend are coming back to Alaska in 1940 to spend several months.

PRISON FILM ENACTED AS
 CAPITOL BILL.
Tense Drama of Man Serv- ing Ten Years of a Term
 Is The Last Gangster'

Edward G. Robinson is at his best in The Last Gangster," the thrill packed, beart : rending, wallop- punching prison drama which came to the Capitol screen yesterday. Of added interest is the first appear ance in this picture of Rose Strad- her, the beautiful Viennese actress. who was imported by M-G-M and who, in the role of Robinson'S wife proves herself to be an actress. of unusual distinction.
 a Robinson gives everything he has got, and that is plenty, to the role of Joe Krozac, who thinks he can fool the Federal government as he has fooled his fellow crooks and even his wife who learns only after she has borne his child that she has never had her husbands love. But in the end he is sent to prison and loses his wife and child to an- other man. When he comes out of prison it is with revenge in his heart and it is not until a turn of events shows him what kind of man he really is that he gives up his child and walks into a rain of bullets from the gun of an averaging gang ! ster.
 Although Robinson is lw Y S dominant in the title role, the per- formanceS of both Miss Stradner as his wife and James Stewart as 1 the other man, are the kind they gave awards for. Others wh O stand out in noteworthy cast are Lionel Sanders grim henchman who eventually turns on him, little Douglas Scott as the son, John Carradine and Sidney Blackmer. Edward Ludwig has done an effec- tive job of directing, and the spec tacular prison scenes and back grounds are up to the usual M-G-M l standard.

AirpIanes Are
 Used by Miners

EDMONTON, Sept. 19-Independ- ent prospecting, particularly in min- ing fields of the Northwest Terri tories, is a thing of the past and nearly all operations are on a big scale, reports Robert Jowsey, presi- dent of Bobjo Mines Limited and pioneer eastern prospector.
 MT. Jowsey commented on the contrast between methods of trav- el of former years and at present. In early Ontario days travel was by land and water routes but on a recent flying trip to Canada's northwest he had been able to cover extensive territory in a few days.
