THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE 'ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. XXXVIL, NO. 5624. JUNEAU ALASKA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 23 I93I MEMBER OF ASSOCIATI;D PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS PAREN'I'AL REBELLION AGAINST DRY LAW PREDICTED OFFICIAL VOTE IS ANNOUNGED FOR TERRITORY Wickersham Wins by 248 | Ballots — Total Poll Canvassed 11,188 With four precincts missing, Judge James Wickersham, Re- Publican, had a majority of 248 over George B. Grigsby, Democrat, for Delegate to Congress, on the official returns canvassed by the Territorial Canvaséing Board. This was made public today by the| Board which is continuing the can- vass for a short time to await re- turns from the missing precincts. The total vote canvassed to date showed 11,188 votes were cast last November. The First Division cast almost 50 per cent of the total, 5291; the Third polled 2,899; the Fourth polled 2,180, and the Sec- ond Division cast 818 votes. One Race Uncertain Only one race remains uncer- tain. That is in the Third Division where Frank H. Foster has a lead of 26 votes over L. D. Roach. Both are Republicans. There are three precincts unreported from that Di- vision, Eska and Palmer on the Alaska Railroad and Choggiung in Bristol Bay. It is believed that no election was held in the first two. Choggiung is off the regular chan- nels of communication and there is no certainty about when it wil be heard from. It has about 45 votes. The Delegate race was the clos- est in 10 years. In 1919, the result was so close that a contest between Charles A. Sulzer and Judge Wick- ersham resulted, the latter being seated. Education Race Close The contest for Commissioner of Education, between W. K. Keller of this city, and Anthony E. Karnes, Ketchikan, was almost as close as that for Delegate to Congress. Supt. Keller won by 3802 votes, Mr. Karnes carried the First and Third Divisions and Mr. Keller the Sec- ond and Fourth Divisions. Auditor Cash Cole, who defeated ‘Thomas Gaffney by 991 votes, car- ried the First, Third and Fourth Divisions, and Mr. Gaffney got the Second, his home Division. Treasurer W. G. Smith, seeking re-election, won from R. E. Hard- castle, Ketchikan, by 1,058 votes. He received the biggest vote and (Continuea on ?ue Two) ANOTHER ARREST BUCKLEY MURDER DETROIT, Mlch., July 23.—Frank Cammarata accused as responsible for the slaying of Jerry Buckley, radio orator, has been arrested on| charges of robbery.

Plain American Talk Clears Up Injury Case LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23.— Dan Rupp was careful to men- tion all the complications re- sulting from a sidewalk injury, when presenting his complaint and request for $5,000 damages. He fell on a defective walk. “I suffered an exostis on the hump of the proboscis and a deflection of the septum, ne- cessitating a septum resection,” Rupp pointed out. Then some- one asked him to tell it in Am- erican. It’s a nose bleed,” he explain- ed. “And besides, I broke my glasses and got a headache.” | 1 by its inventor, Walter J. Chri istie (in turret).

DI@LIKES CERTAIN MA 2 INDICTMENTS ASRESULT OF Victor Seymour and Groc- er Norris Must Face- Perjury Charges LINCOLN, Nebraska, Jan. 23.— Victor Seymour, former Western Headquarters Manager of the Re- publican National Committee at Denver, is charged with perjury in an indictment returned by the Federal grand jury. George W. Norris, Broken Bow, Nebraska, grocer, who attempted to oppose Senator George Norris in the Senatorial race, is also in- dicted fer perjury. Both indictments result from testimony Seymour and Norris gave before the Nye Committee. Seymour's indictment contained eight counts and grocer Norris's indictment two counts. Seymour told the Nye Commit- tee he had not taken an active int.erest in the Nebraska campaign and had no knowledge of the groc- er's filing until the story appeared m the newspapers. 3 Miss Esther Alton, former em- ployee of Seymour, told the com- mittee Seymour conducted a straw vote to determine Senator Norris'’s opponent and that a statement is- sued by grocer Norris at the time he filed for the Senatorial nom- ination way typed in Seymour’s of- fice.

This action was taken, not be- cause the circulars were radical, but because it was decided that the color would be bad for the past- men’s eyes. The ban was proclaimed under authority of the regulations of the inland post, which rule that nothing shall be conveyed by post of a nature embarrassing to postal officers. “Red,” a post office official ex- plained, “is very embarrassing to the staff. To sort thousands of red cards might easily cause severe eye strain,” NEB. CAMPAIGN _ KES OF AUTOS; GIVEN MEN AL EXAMINATION, PREE 'cis N. Crowder disliked a certain make of automobile intensely.

UNEMPLOYMENT SITUATION NOW VIEWED BETTER Drought Relief Also Pre- sents Brighter Qutlook —Bills Passed WASHNGTON, D. C, Jan. 23.— Cherrier prospects today greeted President Hoover on his unemploy- ment and drought relief plans.

The bill goes back to the House for consideration of amendments in- cluding $3,000,000 for medical sup- plies for drought sufferers.

FILIPINO SEEKS UNITY IN NEW FREEDOM MOVE Revolution Is Su Suggested but Manifesto Does Not Say So | By E. W. HOSKINS MANIiLA, Jan. 23.—Manuel Rox- |as, speaker of the Island’s house |of representatives, has launched a new organization devoted to Phil- ippine independence. His manifesto suggests revolu- tion but stops just short of com- ing out for it. Instead it empha- sizes the immediate need for a nationalistic feeling that would unite the entire archipelago into a single, driving political source. Hitherto the independence cam- paigns have been confined largely to the Tagalog politicians. The new organization aims to bring all ele- ments into the movement, from the Mohammedans of the south to the hill tribes in the mountains. The organization is the Bagong Katipunan, also known as “the new Katipunan,” and therein l!ee its note of menace. No Revolution Expected “Katlpunan,” is the Tagalog word for “association” and the only other “katipunan” mentloned. here was one which played a big role in the 1896 uprising against Spain. But most Americans in Manila decry this aspect of the situation. They say that Roxas has adopted the name as a catchword and that at heart he is the last person in the islands to desire a real revolu- tion. They regard it all as a move, of Roxas to bolster his political standing and to provide funds for |campaign junkets by offering mem- bership at so much a head. It is a recognized fact that the tao, or Filipino peasant, has always been enthusiastic for independence 50 long as it costs him nothing. Tt remains for Roxas to demonstrate that he can be converted into a | patriot who will say it with pesos. Roxas Has Own Ideas Roxas’ own version of the liner up is different. He came back from the United States last summer con- vinced that independence could be won if it could be shown that not merely the politicians, but the en- tire Filipino pecple, wanted it He is trying to prove that this desire exists. Sponsored by a man so high in politics as Roxas, the scheme has started auspiciously and only a lit- tle’ criticism has been heard. | Senator Fess Seeking New Broadcast Stunt WASHINGTON, D.

J. D. Zellerbach said the Ket- chikan project is one of two to cost $15,000,000 each. The other, in the Juneau district, he said, is planned by newspaver publishers of important coast cities associated with the Zellerbachs.
