fire STRIKES
WATERFRONT
Second Major Blaze in )
Days Damages South
franklin ST. Bldg.

The second two-alarm fire with
in three days struck the Juneau
waterfront when a building owned
by the Juneau Cold Storage Com
pany was damaged this morning.
The fire, which laid cloud of
smoke over downtown Juneau, APP
parently started in the upper part
of the structure on South Frank
lin Street, directly south of the
main cold storage plant.
First alarm was sounded at
1918 am. by Wallis George, pres
ident of the cold storage company,
who discovered smoke coming
through the roof while he was
inspecting roofing work He said
he sent cold storage company
workers with lire extinguishers to
fight the blaze until the fire de-
partment arrived. Second alarm
was sounded at 1929 am.
Firefighters we're forced back by
the smoke which poured from the
corrugated-iron sheathed building
and donned smoke masks before
fighting the fire from the north
side of the structure.
Fire Chief A. Minard Mill said
the corrugated-iron sheathing on
the building made the fire a diff
r,,1t ono RI hattie
The tug Trojan, owned by the
Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Com
pany, tied up at the cold storage
company wharf is minutes after
the second alarm was sounded and
Immediately went into action pour
ing a stream of water on the
smoking building.
The fire was confined to a loft
between the ceiling and roof of
the building, but smoke and water
damage was done to the remainder
of the building.
George said: Electric wiring is
the only thing I can attribute the
lire TO-"
Due to water in the building, it
has been impossible to make an
accurate estimate Of the damage
done by the blaze, he said. a
The blaze, pushed by a light
breeze from the south, threatened
the Juneau Cold Storage Company
plant, one of Juneau's major in
dustrial establishments.
At 1880 am. the fire broke
through the roof. of the burning
building, sending clouds OF black
smoke aloft, and short while later
flames licked along the edge of the
roof.
Holes were chopped in the roof
so water could be poured on the
base of the fire, and the blaze was
brought under control at about II
o'clock.
R. E. Packard, owner of Packard S
Marina, which was Quilted in a two
alarm fire Sunday afternoon, was
one of the crowd of at least TOO
spectators who were at the scene
of the blaze today,
The building housed the Victory
Bar, Metcalfe Sheet Metal Works,
the Coca Cola hottling plant, the
Juneau branch office of the Deep
Sea Fishermen's Union, the offices
of Elton Engstrom and Ed c. john
son, fish buyers, and one apart
ment.
The all clear was sounded at
1885 p. m. e

John T. Doles who is pointing
loudly to Adams defections, his
failures to attend Congressional
sessions and his general deredic-
ton Of duty. Doles, a successful
Harlem lawyer, has had political
leanings for some time. It is said
that behind his sudden bid for
power it the fine Italian hand of
Herbert Bruce, former 18th Dis
trict leader and a bitter foe of
Adam Powell.
All down the line, shakeups re-
veal dissention within the ranks
and petty squabbles that prevent
Negro office holders from becom-
ing real powers.
Elijah J. Crump, hand-picked
Powell henchman who defeated
with Tammany's blessing and
help veteran Bill Andrews two
years ago, is finding the new
thumbs down treatment hard to
take. After his election, Crump
hired a public relations man who
proceeded to get Crump out in
deep and hot water in the Leo
Durocher fan-smacking case. Mr..
Crump protested loudly and voci-
ferously, demanding Durocher's
removal but it merely caused
Commissioner Chandler, himself a
former senator and a power in
Washington circles, to ask the I'll
tular head of the Democratic
Party in New York why all the
fuss from a pipsqueaking as
semblyman.
Story is that MI. Crump was
hailed before the local bigwigs
advised to keep his trap shut in
the future. This he has followed
until recently when Crump dis
covered he was persona non grata
with the party and was not going
to be supported for reelection.
Had the Democrats continued
Andrews in the State legislature,
he would now be eligible for a
committee Craftsmanship of import
ance, but this foolishness of send
ing a new assemblyman to the
legislature every two years plays
right into the hands Of the shrewd
and conniving party leaders. Be-
fore the new Negro assemblyman
can learn the ropes and find his
way around, he's replaced by an
other political hack.
"New York Negro politicians
have a lot to learn although they
fell sufficient to take care of any
