DECISION SAYS
i __
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16—The comp
troller of the Treasury has ruled that

Etates is travel within the United
States, and should be allowed as such
on the expense items of government
officials. The ruling of the Comp
troller overrides a decision of the Au
ditor of the Navy. The case arose in
regard to the item of trav|| on an ex
pense account from Alaska to the city
of Washington, and the ruling holds
that the entire journey is travel with
in the United States.

ILLEGAL LIDO OR
SELLERS IRE
ARRESTER
That the federal officials are deter
mined to stamp out the illegal prac
tices of peddling liquor without 11
1 censes is evidenced hy the fact that
' raids have been made by the deputy
marshals at Anchorage and McCarthy,
and it is reported that other sections
of the district where bootleeglng has
been reported are to be investigated.
In a general raid at Anchorage on
'October 4. Deputy IT. 8. Marsnnl Jas.
1 W'ardell nrrested ten men for run
ning “blind pigs” at that place. The
men will be taken to Seward for trial
at the term of the district court to
| convene on November 1. and are:
i J. C. Provist, Peter Oilovich. F. P.
McArthur, Anton Kovacevich, C. C.
i Buh, George Geliff, Nicholas Man
die, Frfcjk Ozich, Peter McGuire and
Ore Barnhard.
Since then a score or more arrests
have been made at Anchorage on the
same charge, but the names of the
keppers of the “blind pigs”1 are not
known, although it is said they include
three women who are more or *es!
prominent in business and social af
fairs at the terminal town.
It is understood unofficially that at
least 60 property owners, many ol
whom own lots in the heart of the
business district, are liable to lose
their property for this reason.
People acquainted with waterfronl
men in Anchorage state that whole
sale shipments otherwise marked have
been common and that the man ir
charge of one of the docks lost hi!
position because he not only allowef
these shipments to be dealt in while
on the dock, but handled liquor him
self.
Loose conditiions are the rule ir
construction camps, but it was under
i stood in advance that the governmenl
would not tolerate liquor near this
j railroad project, especially on the re
esrved land. Judge Brown, in his
speech at Seward when the terminal
had just been announced, declared
that the old days of wide open gamb
ling would not be repeated, but new
comers at Anchorage paid little atten
tion to either this warning or the re
striction made by the land office.
Thus far the only arrest in the Cop
per River section was that of Gustave
j Priesner, a druggist of McCarthy, by
Deputy Marshal Milsap.
