UNITED VALDEZ
NOW A FACT
Last Act Performed by Council To
day, When Vote Was Canvassed
Returns Filed With Clerk.
The city council met at noon today
and completed the necessary work to
make the town of Valdez and the
Reservation one municipality. The
ballots were canvassed and the cer
tificate was filed with the clerk of
the court and today Valdez and the
Reservation have one town govern
ment.
The fight to bring the Reservation
into the city has been continuous
since Captain Wilson lifted the gov
ernment reservation ten years ago.
Once before a vote was taken on the
'question apd both the town and the
Reservation voted in the affirmative,
but it was found that congress had
Tailed to provide for the extension of
the limits of incorporated towns.
A bill was drafted and presented to
congress for passage, but Southeast
ern Alaska mining companies and
fishing interests prevented its pass
age, and not until the recent terri
torial legislature passed the present
act could the limits of the cities be
altered. Valdez is the first city to
avail itself of the benefits of the
law.
FRENCH TROOPS
. GUARD WOMAN
Who Murdered Editor Calmette— |
Feared Trouble With Crowds— !
Pleads Justification.
—
I’AKIS, March 23.—Madame Cal- !
laux, who murdered the editor of
Figairo because of his attack upon
her home life and because he publish- \
ed letters exposing the relations of ;
herself and her husband prior to their
marriage, was closely guarded today
when she was brought into court.
Strong details of soldiers were sta
tioned to prevent any riots.
Madante Callaux sobbingly told of ;
how the editor had wronged herself .
and her husband and hud caused them j
great trouble and shame, and that
she felt justified in taking his life
to protect herself from further at
tacks.
The case will not be tried for sev- I
eral months. Some of the greatest j
lawyers in France have been retained j
to defend her from punishment for j
the murder she committed. Quiet i
has agai nbeen restored in the city i
and Paris has almost forgotten the j
incident.
