Hire an Atiorney, Says Gross Mr. Gross in his remarks attacked the company’s annual report of op- erations, filed with the Council pre- viously, and demanded that the Council look into the report to as- certain its true meaning. “I suggest you hire an attorney a man who knows his business, and let him go into this report,” he said.| He charged that meter rates were| ASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, DEC. 4. 1937. mhPOWER RATES | unfair and that the power rates were higher than power rates he pays for operation of his theaters in other Southeast Alaska cities. | Gross said he was appearing in “behalf of the people” and that a straw ballot he is now taking will show “that the citizens of this com- munity want public ownership, adding, “and that's what I want Albert White, appearing, he said, in behalf of the Alaska Native Bro- therhood, asked that the Council make an investigation of alleged discrimination in meter deposit icharges.

Councilman Messerschmidt moved that the “bills be paid in the regu- lar manner” and the two and one| half hour discussion on power rates|, came to an abrupt close. The Council approved two appli- cations for liquor dispensary li- censes—David Davis for Dave's| Place and Emilio Galao for the Brunswick. | ——————— WEDDING RIN TRAPS FUBITIVE SCHENEDTADY, N. Y, Dec 4— A wedding ring on the finger of a pretty, youthful waitress led to the arrest of her husband who police said escaped last June from an Idaho prison farm. The husband, identified by De- tective Bert Weatherwax as Benja- | {min J. Canton, twenty-six, was held | here on a charge of being a fugi- tive from justice. Weatherwax said he noticed the ring on the girl’s finger when he visited the grill where she was work- ing. After a series of gquestions, he discovered she was Canton’s fif- teen-year-old child bride, he said. The detective said Canton told him he had been sennenced to the| prison farm near Boise, for auto- mobile theft, but had escaped with a companion he knew only as “Joe.” The couple were married shortly after Canton's escape, Weatherwax | said. SUPER-PLANE 1S PROMISED MOSCOW, Dec. 4—V. F. Bolkho- | vitinoff, Red army airplane de-| signer, has announced that he is 'working on a plane to surpass all other planes by flying faster, higher and farther. Bolkhovitinoff, who designed the plane in which Sigismund Levane- visky and his five companions dis- appeared somewhere in the Arctic on a flight to some point in Cali- fornia, is being assisted by five young designers. He promises to give the new airplane to the coun- try “to the joy of the friends and the distress of the enemies of our fatherland.” D TULSA, Okla., Dec. 4 things may weigh heavily on the conscience, reflected Postmaster George Watkins when he got * this letter: “Dear Postmaster—I am enclos- ing a three-cent postage stamp.

Juneau, Dec. 5—Sunrise, 8:28 a.m.; sunset, 3:13 p.m. Dec. 6.—Sun- 3:12 pm. 8:30 a.m.; sunset WEATHER SYNOPSIS Barometric pressure was low this morning over the entire north Pacific Ocean with two centers, one of 28.7¢ inches about two hundred miles southwest of Atk d another of 28.80 inches in the southern part of the Gull of Alaska. The barometer was high from the Seward Peninsula eastward to the MacKenzie River and south from there to the Rocky Mountain states. This general pressure distribution has given > to light snow from the mbuth of the MacKenzie south to Cordova and upper southeastern Aliska, moderate rain from, lower southeastern Alaska along the coast to Vancouver Island and light snow over the interior of British Columbia with generally fair weather over the rest of the field of observation. Temperatures this morning were warmer over the Kuskokwim Valley, the Interior and from Cordova along the coast to Ketchikan. 9 rise, Heiresses Go in for Careers ~ Kay Barker Geraldine Spreckels - Two young ladies not content with being mere socialites are Ger- aldine Spreckels, right. and Kay Barker. left Mrs Spreckels. west coast heiress to sugar millions, recently signed a movie contract and will appear on the screen under the name of Anna Johns.
