AMENDED WOMEN
JURY BILL HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
House Passes Brown Women
Jury Bill by Small Margin
—Returned to Senate.
By a vote of nine to seven the
House today passed Senator Brown's
woman Jury bill with the disputed
sex exemption provision stricken.
The bill now goes back to the Sen
ate which, it is believed, will re
fuse to concur in the amendment
made by the House, thus making a
conference necessary.
Chairman Price, of the Judiciary
Committee, declared the bill with
out the sex exemption clause covers
the referendum submitted to and
carried by the woman voters last
November. It is what the women
have said they want and members
should vote for it, he urged.
Mr. Decker contended that few
women voted on the subject and
added that there Is a decided dif
ference of opinion as to Just what
the women did vote for. "It was
not a real referendum," he asserted.
Murray Opposes Bill*
Mr. Murray also argued that the
expression of opinion by the women
electors In the las* election on Jury
service did not constitute a genuine
referendum. He quoted Gov. Riggs’
message vetoing the referendum act
and declared It was purely a piece
of cluss legislation. Followed out,
he contended, it would lead to ref
erendum* by lawyers, barbers and
others for laws affecting only them
selves. "That kind of a referendum
doesn't mean anything at all to
me,” he asserted.
Mr. Wilson said because he did
not favor compulsory jury duty be
ing required of women, he was
compelled to vote against the bill,
while Mr. Daly, also opposed to re
quiring the service on the same
basis as for men, voted i gainst it.
College Bill Introduced.
The so-called "agricultural bloc”
In the House this morning was sur
prised when Representative Foster
in roduced a bill appropriating
$46,000 for the Alaska Agricultural
College and School of Mines for
"maintenance and conduct of the
college . . . during the school years
3923-24 and 1924-26," and requir
ing that $10,000 of that sum be
expended for the establishment of
College Extension Courses "in such
different towns of the Territory as
may 'be specified by the Governor.’
The bill also contains an inhibitioi
against expenditure of more thai
the $46,000 carried by the Act.
Some argument was caused when
Speaker Cole referred the bill to the
Ways and Means Committee, Mr,
Daly and others arguing it should
properly first be sent to the Com
mittee on Education and later to
Ways and Means. A motion by Mr.
Price to refer it to the Committee
on Education, seconded by the
author of the bill, was carried un
animously.
Antidope Bill Introduced.
A stringent "narcotics” preven
tative act, mouse Bill No. 31, was
Introduced this morning by Repre
sentative Polley. It provides: "It
shall be unlawful for any person to
sell, furnish or dispose of, or hafe

writing the same.” Such prescrip
tions may be tilled but once. Per
sons procuring drugs on them are
required to sign them and they are
required to be kept on file by the
druggist for a period of two years.
The bill further provides: "It
shall be deemed a violation of this

'the same in unexempt quantities,

drug, except by a licensed physi
cian, licensed manufacturer or li
censed druggist shall be prima facie
evidence of an Intent to unlawfully
sell, furnish or dispose of the
same.”

to <be felonious and punishable upon
conviction by imprisonment in the
penitentiary nut less than one or
more than 25 years. Section four
provides that "every person who
habitually usee any narcotic drug
