Man Loses Bet
He Didn’t Place
PHILADELPHIA, (VI*)—Just as
a matter of curiosity, Bernard
Goddis wishes he knew the name
of the horse he lost "$32 on—with
out making a bet.
Goddis lost his wallet contain
ing $32 several days ago. The next
day, he told police, he received
the empty wallet and a note in the
mail.
“Next time you lose your wal
let,” the note read, “make sure
you have more money in it and
have a better wallet or I will not
return it again. I put your money
on a horse and, if it pays off, I
will return your $32.”
Apparently the horse didn’t win. I
Goddis hasn’t gotten his money |
back yet.
Chief W. W. Laws, fire and po
lice chief, today claimed the dis
tinction of being the first, person
in Nome to see a seagull this year.
Looking out behind the fire sta
tion this morning at 5:00 a.m., he
saw a lone, white seagull standing
on the ice near shore.

Tropics Too Hoi
For Eskimo Boys
For eight Eskimo youths who
spent the winter taking craft
training in Mexico, the onset of
spring in the tropics proved too
hot for comfort.
The young men, who grew up in
Arctic climes, found southern
Mexico temperatures not to their
liking.
After more than six-weeks of
training in silver craft work at the
Spratling shops at Taxco, Mexico, J
all but two of the boys are back
again to the ice and snow of north
western Alaska. Two have re
turned to Mt. Edgecumbe school
to continue their studies.
Out of nine youths sent to Mex
ico by the Alaska Native Service
for craft training, seven completed
their course and were given cer
tificates of apprenticeship.
Charles Iyapana of Little Dio
mede was returned to his home
shortly after being sent from here
after suffering injuries in an auto
mobile accident in Texas enroute
to Taxco. A second youth, Marlcy
Lincoln of Kotzebue was unable
to carry on the work due to illness.
Youth who completed training
include Francis Eben and Frank
Okpealuk of Mt. Edgecumbe;
Tommy Lee of Shungnak, George
Sipary of Mountain Village, Floyd
Singyke of Little Diomede, and
Joseph Jessup of Kotzebue.
Eskimo youths were given the

“Boss Hague” Gee*)
Down In Defeat
(By Peter MacDonald)
j JERSEY CITY. N. J. (>P>— Frank
Hague no longer is ‘‘the law” in
Jersey City.
One of the last of the big city
political bosses, Hague lost control
of the city commission yesterday
as fusion forces smashed to vic
tory in the municipal election. *
The fusionists were led by John
V. Kenny, one-time trusted Hague
lieutenant who was ousted as a
ward leader by the Democratic
chieftain last year.
Kenny had termed the election
‘‘a rebellion against the most cor
j rupt political machine in the his
> tory of the United States.”
' Hague’s only comment on the
outcome of the election was a 12
word statement issued this morn
ing. ‘‘The people wanted it that
way,” he said, ‘‘so it’s all right
with me.”
The stunning victory set off a
i series of wild celebrations and
: dancing in the streets throughout
this city of 301,000 persons.
It was a bitter defeat for the
; iron-fisted Hague whose reign
> spanned 32 turbulent years. He
j served as mayor for 30 of these
years.
Never had Hague, who at one
time was a city hall custodian,
j tasted defeat in a city election.
