CAMPAIGN BEGUN TO FREE
KETCHIKAN OF UNDESIRABLES
Abatement proceedings are being
employed by the federal authorities
in Ketchikan to compel the, closing
ef objectionable houses in the re-.
stricted district. The reform cam-;
paign was launched last month by
li. D. Stabler,, assistant United States
»L^orney, k and it was. announced by
fc m that-the crusade would not stop
t-rely with the closing of the places
.. question. It is the intention of
• m, feieral authorities to follow the
mien about the city, watching their
cry action and ready to take them
.i,to court on contempt charges should
Uierc be reason to believe they are
tot complying..with the new regula
tions.
“We. don’t> ptyn to spread these
women , throughout the city by our
...esent;-actions,” . Stabler informed
lie Ketchikan, Chronicle.
“They .will necessarily go to other
ctions of the city to live, as is
.heir constitutional right, but they
shall, nofc.be permitted to carry, on
their trade.
“We fully realize the unfavorable
esuits , of previous abatement eam
.aigns. We knew that the. women
took refuge jn residential;.districts,
varryijjg on their business almost at
iloweyer, the actions covering these
i- . enfc proceedings specifically* ask
aiat the defendant be perpetually en
joined from doing business anywhere
within Jthehlimits.of the First divi
sion of Alaska, and failure to abide
by’, the order will result in the im
mediate;, order for their appearance
in court .to answer contempt charges,
and the penalty provided is not less
then $200 or mere .than $1,000, or not
less than three months ; in jail- or
mqre than -,x months, or both.
“We will not stop -when abatement
proceedings are completed!,. Our next
step will.be to watch the movements
cf-every solitary defendant to see
that she does not .violate, the condi
tion sot tf»e> injunction. ,.
“In this we willnatucally expect
the co-operation of the public. If any
person jn Ketchikan., doubts, the re
spectability, of- his neighbor' he has
only notify us.
“Wfe. don’t intend to ,put the resi
dents of Ketchikan, at .the mercy of
he .women!’
Heretofore, t is pointed out, those
affected; by the court orders rented
houses throughout .the. entire city,
leaving a condition considered ex
ceedingly..less tolerable.
With the new clause embraced in
the injunction, federal workers feel
sure they have arrived at . a practical
solution to-the problem.
“However/* added the federal at->
torney, “to effectively complete our
plqns* we will need most of all the
assistance of Ketchikan residents.
We, ourselves, can break up the or

ganized. clique, but we will have to
rely upon- the pride of loca Iresidents
to* fully reach.’ our goal.”
Commenting editorially on the re
form movement, the Chronicle says:
“Back to. the-, feudal days* ,sayi we;
back to . the -mercy of the king,' To
say nothing of assistant attorney
generals or kings’ counselors.
"There can be no defense of crime
or corruption, but between prostitu*
tion and usurpation of the rights of
the citizen as laid down by the;
framers of the Constitution, we hold
that the former is the lesser of the
two and certainly the older of the
evils. WeW come not to the rescue
of those charged with the offenses set
forth in. complaints, but we rise up
to denounce officials who would by
the injunction, route remove the vest
ed rights of the people, the right to
a trial by jury,
“Let them close their bawdy houses
if they will. Let them combat crime
as they will, but let officials high or
low beware of invading the rights of
the people. As the-lowly of old rose
up and gave their-life blood for the
Magna Charta„so in the days to-come
will the people rise to bring back to
themselves those conditions of life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness
which the forefathers of America’
handed down.
“Slowly and gradually the rights
of the people under the Constitution;
have been invaded by the national
legislative arm until the sovereignty
of the States has become almost a
myth. Now if the judiciary and the
executive arm of the Government are
to folow the lead of the legislators
in breaking down the constitutional
rights, the end of the American de
mocracy is almost in sight.”

BAKERSFIELD, Cal.—City and
county officials today decided that
Bakersfield and nearby cities are in
' no immediate danger from an inva
j sion of rodents which are reported
i migrating in. large massesmigrating
| in large masses from the lowlands of
Kern couj.ty.,
A huge flock of sheep turned, into
the prairie land was entirely de
stroyed by the rats, according to re
ports. The food supply in Kern coun
ty has been poisoned in an effort to
erterminaie the. pests, and are leav
ing tbe path strewn with thousands
of miee.
An oil field worker said he awoke
one morning to find that the mice
had eaten practically all of. his cloth

looks like a moving car|>et, according
to observers. Automobile travel has
been made impossible, so serious has
the situation become, it is reported.
