OL. XXXIL, NO. 4833. CONVICT Y ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS JUNEAU, ALASKA, THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1928. ALL THE TIME” ION OF HICKMAN IS UPHELD GOV.SMITH MAKESTWO - ADDRESSES, Replies to Tammany Crit-| ics in One Celebra- tion Talk NEW YORK, July mnly the briefest »ference to his Presidential candidacy, Gov. A. BE. Smith delivered two pa-| triotic addresses yesterday, the first since his nomination. In the first address in Tam- many Hall, the Governor replied to Tammany’s critics, In the sec- ond address in the New York City Hall, he addressed several thousand new voters. Gov. Smith said he had heard deal of ‘caustic eriticism of Tammany but expressed the| opinion that nothing would come of it and it would continue in| existence in this country as the! Society of Tammany has done for 139 years, 1 Gov. Smith said Tammany c ed not whether a man was rich or poor or of what religious be- liefs he might have, so long as! he was a lover of Ameriica. | Addresses New Yorkers In the second address, deliv- ered to new voters, Gov. Smith likened the Declaration of Inde- pendence to a political platforr and said the whole thought it was contained in one sentence that holds all men are chPte(l equal. Life, liberty and the pur- suit of happiness are their in- alienable' rights and that to se- cure these rights, . governments are formed which secure their pewers from the governed. Gov. Smith said: *“No matter how much we may quarrel among ourselves politically, the Senate: and House can talk themse!s death and sometimes it Yflofi' the American public as though they were attempting it.” e ,———— BELIEVES SIX MISSING MEN STILL ALIVE 5 With | ROME, July 5.—Although un- certain as to what happened to six men aboard the Italia when it tore loose from the main gon- dola, Gen. Nobile still hopes that they are alive. This report is in a new official statement telling of the mystery. Nobile recom- mended that a search be made over 15 miles from a point where the gondola came down, NEAR CASTAWAYS KINGS BAY, July 5. — Fifty miles of pack ice separates the stranded Italia crew, known to be alive, from the ice-breaker Krassin. Huge masses of ice to- day halted the Krassin but the castaways are drifting nearer the vessel. Moving Potsdam Statue Causes Mmmpnl Row POTSDAM, July 5—What shall be do with “Frederick Willlam? is the question of the hour. Frederick William III was the former kaiser’s great-grandfather, and his statue stands on the Wil- helmplatz here. There was be- fore the municipal council a scheme to improve this square, but the statue is in the way, and debate on the scheme led to a lively row in the council. Socialists hotly argued that Frederick William did not deserve a statue, as he had twice broken his royal word. “Sell him to the highest bid- !" shouted one. 4 “Send him to Doorn!” screamed another. Monarchists countered with loud shouts of “cads” and “ruffians,” and then the fight was on. Fi- nally a vote was passed for the improvement scheme, but minus the cost of shifting Frederick William, so anyone wishing to buy a statue probably can have it cheap. d e T a0, AT INVEST IN CANADA o ke OTTAWA = American invest-| ments in Canada mow total about three billion dollars, compared with less than half a biilion be- fore the war.
