A GREAT DEAL of inside,


dirt being slung locally is being
spiked by political workers for
the candidates in the city election
next Wednesday,. Among these
are rumors that gambling will be
closed by a certain candidate,
that the negro vote here has been
unexpectedly referrd to, that
Key West is only for Key West
ers. It was pointed out that Key
West is tourist town and large
ly will continue to have gambling
with no one man really able to
stop it; that the negroes in Key
West have always been very
friendly with the whites, much
more so than in, the North and
even in the deep South; finally,
that hundreds of Key Westers
now hold important positions in
Miami, Tampa and other sections
of the country, which positions
were open to them as well as to
people from other sections of the
states.
T. z. PRICE has offered the go
acres of Trumbo, which the Navy
Department wants for an Air

ADDITION FOR FEDERAL BLDG.
 WILL BE ASKED
M e moria Shaping for More Teeth in Employ
 ment Agency Law

Among those measures being held in abeyance in Representative brief cases in the Fourteenth Session, is memorial that will ask Congress for a large addition to the Fed eral Building here, and a. bill that vii put more teeth in the employ ment agency licensing law.
 A tour of inspection has been made oI Federal and Territorial or fices in Juneau that will be report ed as severely overcrowded," and will enumerate many offices that need additional space.
 It is also understood that some Territorial offices will have to move from the Federal Building soon, because of the Federal office needs.
 In reference to the Territorial Building, the memorial will say that this building is of frame con- structlon, stucco exterior, and with out llreprOOI storage.
 No specific sum has been indi- cated as desired for the new con- struction work, but it is believed the addition will be a five-story Il" addition on the West wing, reaching back to Fifth Street.
 The bill scheduled to come in regards to employment agency li- censes, will be introduced by Rep resentative Ed. Coffey in a direct attack on persons Coffey alleges are charging fishermen specific sums in return for jobs
 The law now provides for a fine of not to exceed $1,000 and, or, three months imprisonment, for such action as Coffey charges is going on without benefit of li- cense.
 Coffey says he will make this bill "a lot stronger

HoIlering, Drinking
 Hard on The voiee

CHICAGO, Feb. 2. - Constant talking is the worst possible thing for ones voice-next to a whisky throat.
 That is the conclusion Drs. Che- valier Jackson and C. L. Jackson of Philadelphia expounded in their article in Hygeia, an American Medical Association publication.
 Shouting, forceful singing, yell ing at football games, hollering over the telephone and talking in noisy places may result in little hemorrhages on the vocal cord, the doctors stated. These. in turn, may develop into various kinds of tu- mors.
 One drink of any alcoholic bev- craze will dilate the capillaries of the mucous membrane lining the larnyx, said the doctors, and whisky throat" is the name given to the huskiness coming from con- tinuous engagement of the capil- laries.

The importance of Alaska's stra- tegic location in the defense plans of the Northwest is now well rec ognized, according to recent reports from Washington, D. c.
 The installation of major fleet air base at Kodiak. Alaska, will no doubt be established. Such a base would cost approximately $14,000,000 according to information received in Juneau by R. E. Robertson, mem- Der of the Board of Representatives of the Northwest Air Defense As sociation.
 It is expected that a substantial amount of money will be appropri- ated by this Congress, making it possible to start work in 1889 on this important defense base.
 According to MT. Robertson, Con- gress should also seriously consider the importance of the now estab- lished Sitka base, which has prac- tically no facilities for the handling of a six-plane squadron which is always attached to that station.
 The Northwest Air Defense Asso- citation wishes that adequate equip ment and housing facilities be put in at Sitka to make Sitka comfor- table and convenient station mini mixing risk of life and equipment of the Navy flying personnel
 The 1889 program Of the North west Air Defense Association in- cludes the establishment of the Ko- diak Air Base improvements at the Sitka Air Base, establishment of the Army General Headquarters Air Base in Alaska, as well as auxiliary installations in Alaska to make Army and Navy operations safe and efficient.

 Legality
 In regard to legality of the Terri torial law regarding per diem for Territorial officials, it was charged by some members of the House that "the law does not mention the Stat es".
 Two points of debate on the House floor in regard to the bill gave rise to speculation that more bills would work Outside.
 Said Walker, in opposition: "The bill is a good bill, but incomplete. Some trips must be made Outside and provisions for legalizing such trips should be made.
 Spencer and Anderson also back ed Walker in this respect. but Davis, author of the bill, suggested long argued proposition of Ewing one man in Washington at all times to see that we get support in appropria- tions, instead of sending our officials all the way back"
 Davis said travel expenses of Ter ritorial offices during the last bi- ennium have totalled $64000, includ- ing number of trips Outside.

(Continued From First PageO

Baltimore will be the stats of the
State Treasurer and State Controller,
already located here.
OF the IL departments, 10 have
been notified they must be operating
here by December /. The State Rae
ing Commission, which has lease
in Baltimore, was expected to stay
there until it can clear up the audit
ing of the present racing season, but
it, too, must come to the Capital
before the spring meetings of the
Maryland tracks.
Contractors today said they are
ready to turn over the structure to
the State, and the Board of Public
Works is to make its final inspection
at $3.50 o'clock Monday afternoon
preparatory to accepting the build
ing which was begun eight months
ago.
The law providing construction
funds was introduced in the State
Senate in 1887 by Senator Ridgely
Melvin of Anne Arundel County,
now judge of the Circuit Court here.
and finally was enacted after skillful
guidance through the House by Phil
lip Miller of Annapolis, then men,
ber of the Legislature.
A $1OO0,0O fund was set up in the
act, bet only 100000 was spent on
the Office building itself. The re-
mainder was diverted to remodel
the State Court of Appeals Building
and install conditioning equip
ment, and to build a National Guard
Armory to replace the one razed to
make room for the Office structure.
Work at the Court of Appeals has
been finished and the armory is to
be started next spring. A committee
appointed for the purpose has sub
mitted to Maj. Gen. Milton A. Reck-
ord, head of the National Guard in
Maryland, its recommendations re-
garding prospective sites.
Gen. Reckord, in turn. will submit
his recommendation to the Board OF
Public Works, which will have the
final word as to where the armory
will be- located.
Annapolis residents, who cam
paigned vigorously to have all the
State departments brought here, say
the employees ordered to Annapolis
will find attractive accommodation.
