LEFT CAPITAL COAST BOUND Zmperor Slfidenly Quits Addis Ababa—Disord- ers Are Reported LONDON, May. 2. — Sir Sidney Marton, British Minister in Eth- opia, has advised the British Gov- | rnment here that Emperor Haile Selassie has left Addis Ababa for Djibouti, French Somaliland. Sir Sidney declared in his wire- less message that the Capital City s a scene of widespread disorder and asserted the disturbances in- \luding looting and shooting. The departure of Emperor Selas- sle is interpreted here in official | juarters as the collapse of the or-| zanized resistance to the Italian in- | vasion. | The ultimate destination of the Emperor is declared to be unlnown | ‘o the British. Sir Sidney does not | plan to leave the Ethiopian Capi- tal. He anticipates disorders will | continue until the Italians s e BOUND FOR GENEVA GENEVA, May 2.—The news of the | departure of Emperor Selassie from | Addis Ababa leads to the belief in League of Nation's circles that he| might be enroute here to attend mc\ League’s Council session on May 11 MUSSOLINI BUSY ROME, May 2 —Premier Musso- lini has called the Ttalian Supreme | Naval Commission for Defense into | a conference as the columns in Eth- iopia are prepared for the decisive advance on Addis Ababa. | While no information is “issued, | it is understood the Mediterranean situation will be discussed thor- oughly. e D0GS DISCUSSED BY COUNCILMEN, CHIEF HOFFMAN {Scores of Unlicensed Can- | ines at Large in City, [ Some Vicious j The dog population of Juneau | was discussed at considerable length lat the first May meeting of the | City Council last night by the Council and Chief of Police Roy Hoffman “The dogs here are getting out of control,” Chief Hoffman said. “They |are worse than the wolf packs in the interior.” Loose dogs roaming the streets |of Juneau, he said, have become a decided nuisance, and are a menace |to automobile traffic. He stated that ‘about twice a week the Police De- partment is called upon to remove |a dead dog, killed by traffic, from | the street. Many citizens have com- | plained about vicious dogs, he said. Mayor 1. Goldstein mentioned a |magazine article which referred to Juneau as “The Dog City,” and re- ported that 150 dog licenses were issued last year; which, Chief Hoff- man stated, is a small percentage of the total number of dogs in Juneau. It was agreed by the Council that something must be done to abate the dog nuisance, and it was sug- gested that an ordiance be passed, |similar to the one in effect in Ketchikan, compelling people through suitable penalties to keep| |their dogs off the streets except !when on leash. The proposed ordi-| nance was tabled until the next meeting of the City Council, to be | {held on May 15. | s i KITTIWAKE IN PORT | The Kittiwake, Bureau of Fish- eries vessel, which has been en- gaged in herring tagging work at Auk Bay, arrived in Juneau this |morning with Capt.

It will allow ample time for delegates to attend the na- | tional convention. Plans for the convention are pro- gressing rapidly and indications are that a large representation will be on hand from every post in the Territory as well as a goodly num- |ber from Seattle and perhaps other posts and units in the States.
