session of the East Alton Village Board, which started at 7:30 p. m. Tuesday and lasted until 2 a. m. today, ballots of the April 15 election were recounted and Fred Johnson, whose re-election as a trustee had boon contested, was found to have been re-elected by three votes.

The contest wns filed by Marlon Brown, who was defeated by Johnson, according to the official canvass. The official cartvass showed that Johnson had received 760 votes and Brown received 757. The three-vote difference found by the April 15 election boards coincided the findings of the village board. When Brown's contest petition was read early In the evening, William Kell moved that the petition for a recount be granted and that the recount start at once.

Mayor Stand Mayor Baker told a reporter this morning he feels he Is not Involved, since the ordinance was passerby the old council, before office.

The resignation of Robert Green, traffic motorcycle patrolman, was accepted. A salary -ordinance gave Increases In pay to tho mayor and clerk. The clerk's pay was boosted $5 a month, his yearly pay being set at $1740, Most of the clerk's salary, however, Is paid for work in the village department, which operates froni hfi office, handling all billing, collections and records. The mayor's sent to one of several Internment camps being constructed by the government, he said, when Washington made final disposition of their cases. The 125 Italian seamen leaving Ellis Island yesterday, were en, route to Mlssoula, Montana, Uhl Theye were skilled mechanics who will help Convert the former army camp there into an internment camp.

As soon as the camn Is ready, 400 more Italians now at Ellis Island will be sent there, It was said. WASHINGTON, May 7, General Jackson said today there were 6000 deportable aliens who are still "free" Irt the United States as he ordered the round-up of 160 German seamen for questioning. The Justice department revealed that officers had been directed to round-up the seamen who were supposed to be in New York, Miami, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Kansas City under an agreement permitting their freedom after deportation orders were completed but could not be executed for lack of machinery The department also said that 125 Italian seamen were taken from Ellis Island last night to is now receiving 'administration consideration. Special Importance was attached to Stlmsbn's words in many quarters because Stephen Early, Presidential secretary, said it could be assumed that the War Department chief discussed his address in advance with Mr, Roosevelt. Stimson was the fifth cabinet officer to speak out strongly in recent weeks for more dynamic action to guarantee the success of the ald-to-Brltain program, but he was the first to advocate a specific use of the navy.

In advocating this prompt naval assistance, Stimson told the nation" In his radio address last night that Germany had extended her zone of jeaV waMari Western Hemisphere. He also assailed the character of German submarine warfare in the North Atlantic, calling -It "illegal" and a "violation of law and humanity." Refers to 1917 The U-boat tactics, he said, were identical with those of 1917, when they "caused the President and Congress to take up arms in defense of the freedom of the Seas." The charge that Germany had by some legal, authorities, that any enactment of the outgoing council required the approval of the outgoing mayor; that the Incoming mayor was without legal power to pass on the enactment of a legislative fcody that had ceased Us legal existence, therefore only the outgoing executive was empowered under the law to net. Another legal phase discussed was that, in the event of veto by the outgoing mayor, the dying council was deprived of its legal right to hear a veto message and consider passage of the ordinance over the Adding further to the legal complexities, is the statutory provision that the salaries of city officials may not be increased while they are in office. Thus, the new council could not consider the ordinance to increase salaries after the new officials had begun their terms. Contrasting Views Aside from the question of the outgoing mayor's power to veto, the fact remained that the salary ordinance was unsigned and.

as Oldest Woman Shows Anglers How It's Done GRAFTON, May 1. (Special). A story of fisherman's luck emanates from a weekend fishing expedition made by four Graf ton residents. After great preparation and much labor, Leonard Rlchey, Pat Wllkle and Duke Erwln went fishing three the river from here. They returned with two small blue fish.

The fourth Grafton angler was Mrs, E. T. Hayes, Grafton's oldest resident, who went fishing the same day in the river a few feet from her own backyard. She caught 20 large bass. Tells Creative Possibilities in Modern Dance Mrs.

David Grainger, Mon ticello Instructor, Speaks at Recital Opportunity.for original and creative expression offered by modern dance was stressed by Mrs. David Grainger, teacher of modern dance at Monticello College, at a lecture- recital presented for Alton branch of American Association of University Women Tuesday evening In Benjamin Godfrey Memorial. Monticello students participated In dances to illustrate her talk. She explained the rudiments, of class work for beginners and the learning of dance patterns later put together to form designs. In advanced classes, Mrs.

Grainger stated, dances are composed of ideas and not set patterns. The ideas frequently are taken from music, but.stories, pictures, or the thoughts of the dancer's mind may serve as a source. Percussion instruments are used, in class work to maintain the rhythm of the dance, she said. Students with the aid of their showed a typical class routine before presenting a program of three dances.

It was thought that Stimson referred to the fact that the Nazis danger zone now extends to within a few miles of the coast of Greenland, where U. S. defense bases are being established. Also advanced, was the provision that an ordinance comes effective after 10 days, iff the mayor falls either to sign it or approve it.

Rep. Hunter waved a copy of Governor Green's letter of last October to A. F. of leaders in which the Republican governorship candidate expressed 'support of wage-hour legislation for-intrastate workers and asked, "Are you going to refuse to support the Governor of Illinois?" E. A.
