DALY WAGE BILL
IS PASSED;JURY
i BILL DISCUSSED
Senate Passes House Bill 23
—Approves Aid for Haines
School Bill.
in
Daly's bill regulating the pay-1
j rnents of wages to persons In privatei
employment amended by the Senate)
| to require monthly paydays to ran-j
! nery employees, was passed in the!
j Senate this morning by a unanimous
vote. As the bill passed the House
| it merely required that all persons!
in private employment be paid in
• United States money or checks and)
[drafts redeemable in such money at:
| 1 ho nearest bank in the Territory. I
j The Senate also passed Senate
Bill No. DU, relative to taxing costs'
'against defendants in criminal cases!
in courts in the Territory and pro-'l
hibiting such procedure.
Take Up Jury Bill.
Senator Dimond's jury measure, i
which was taken up in the Senate,
today In second reading, was char-!
acterized by him as a measure de
signed to prevent professional jury-'
ism in Commissioner's Courts and
elsewhere by providing for selection!
of all juries in criminal cases to'
be drawn from the jury box. This,
would automatically shut off the)
practice of selecting jurors by U. S.:
.Marshals on an open venire. In cer-i
tain instances, he suid, this prac-j
tice had 'been used to a disadvan
tage and might easily be abused. I
The original bill had provided for
the names of all voters in the Di-i
vision to be placed in the jury box
in the District Court. This was
amended to read 75 per cent of
such names and in addition names'
of sucji other residents qualified to:
serve as jurors but whose names
wore not included on voting: lists.'
The bill passed its second reading.
Pass Snodgrass Bill.
Senate Bill No. 107, by Mr. Snod-J
grass, taking away from the Presi-|
dent of the Agricultural College and
School of Mines the power to ap-j,
point members of the faculty and!
substituting therefor the power to
nominate merely, passed the Senate
by a vote of live to three. Senators
Ayer, Dimond and Bunn voted!
against the bill.
The bill providing for Territorial
lid in constructing a school house
at Haines, passed unanimously.
Haines Bill Saved
After a seemingly hopeless strug
gle of more than a week to get fa
voraiblo consideration of his bill for
Territorial aid in the construction
of a school house at Haines, Mr.
Hunt yesterday got favorable action
in a modified form. A substitute
measure presented by Mr. Snodgrass
was adopted by the Senate and passed
its second reading.
The new Mil provides for Terri-!
torial aid in the sum of $3,500 con
ditioned on the people of Haines co
operating to a Q Ike amount. Br.
Pryor, of Haines, and a member off
the school 'board there, proved to
be the witness wfho saved the day.
He gave succinctly the facts bearing!
on the situation. He explained how
the town is unable to take care of
its own children together with those'
of the army post at Chilkoot Bar-1
racks, which legally rt is not bound
to do. He said lie did not believe,'
under till© circumstances, Haines i
should be asked to bear this burden I
alone, ulthough it is willing to go
just as far as fts finances will per
mit.
Road Bill Withdrawn
Without objection, Senator Aldrich
yesterday afternoon withdrew his bill
providing for file repeal of the pres
ent road law and for a new coopera
tive system. This measure was giv
en a rough handling by the Senate
several days ago. Since that time
Senator Aldrich has introduced an
amendment to the present law which
he claims covers the situation, pro
diving for certain steps to be taken
hv the Territorial Board of Road
Commissioners to make it possible
to come under the Federal Highway
Act if it is extended to Alaska.
Senate Bill No. 77, the so-called
herd ilaiw, '\va3 kitted on a motion
Of indefinite postponement, only Al
drich and Snodgrass voting against
the motion. Senate Bill No. 96, pro
viding for the relief of Laurence
DeWltt in the sum of $125 to reim
burse him far overpayment of taxes
passed unanimously. Senator Cham
berlin's memorial asking that the
government send a physician and
nurse to the Alaska Peninsula towns
i.o give medical aid and nursing treat
ment to residents there afflicted with
certain chronic ailments, was also
aassed without opposition.
