I fraudulent and unlawful acts at off 1
|eers and agents of coriwrations and
I assoc iations in keeping, managing,
■ using or misrepresenting the accounts
I and records of such corporations and
! associations, got its first serious set
: back today when the House, taking it
up for second reading, ordered it sent
'back to the Judiciary Committee for
“improvement.” The opposition of
House members was based on claims
(that the measure is too broad in its
.application and would, if enacted
icto law, create conditions worse
[than those which it is sought to
.'remedy.
i Tiie 'action of the committee is said
!io be problematical. It has already
i gone ever the measure and brought
it back into the House with approval.
Amendments may bo offered by in
Id'ividual members but it is reported
[that unless it is amended, the bill
j will probably fail of passage in the
: House.
The House put the *o Senate
(Bill N'o. 26, amending section 1,743,
.Compiled Laws of Alaska, by author
izing non resident guardian to take
; over the personal estates of non
resident ward, by adopting a motion
' o£ indefinite postponement. Decker
land Callahan voted against the mo
tion.
Two House Bills, Nos. 16 and 17,
and four Senate Bills, Nos. 13. 31, 47
and 56, were passed by the House.
All except No. 47 are minor measures
relating ro the Alaska code or amend
ing session laws. No. 47 is entitled
An Act to denounce false pretense
:n soliciting money for associations
or organizations.
Four Senate Bills passed to their
third readings by the House were:
No. 29, An Act to amend section
'1.873, Compiled Laws of Alaska, rela
tive to effect of private seals; No.
123, An Act to amend section 1,112,
iCompiled Laws of Alaska, providing
jifor the adjournment of sales of prop
; ertv on execution; No. 37, An Act to
provide for p*JOf of service on de
mand; No. 45, An Act to protect

WorJ was received last night that

States Commissioner at Fairbanks,
died yesterday at Rochester, Minn.,
after a long illness. He had been at
Rochester, for several months, a
patient at the clinic of the Mayo
Brothers.
Judge Erwin was a pioneer of
Washington and Alaska. He tame
to this Territory from Washington
in 1898 and proceeded to Dawson,
where he remained for several years.
He went from there to Fairbanks not
long after the establishment of that
town. He was engaged there in the

51 he was appointed United States Com
missioner at Fairbanks, and served
in the municipal government. In
1913 he was appointed United States
Marshal and was reappointed in 1917.
Judge Erwin was a native of
Georgia and from a long American
ancestry of the Old South. Early in
life he became interested in politics
and served in the Georgia Legisla
ture. Later he removed to Tennes
see. where he again served In the
Legislature.
•He came West to be agent at the
Yakima Indian Reservation through
appointment from President Cleve
land in his flirst term. He was re
appointed and served through the
second Cleveland administration after
an intermission covering the term
of the Harrison administration
As in the Soutji, Judge Erwin was
active in politics during his residence
in both Washington and Alaska, and
a Democratic convention never seem
ed complete without he was there,
it was h.is boast that he had a com
mission from every Democratic! ad
ministration the country has had
since the war between the States—
two from President Cleveland and
two from President Wilson. HJs last
political activity was as a,. Delegate
to the Democratic National Conven
tion which was held at San Fran
cisco. where he voted for Mitchell
Palmer as his choice for the Presi
dential nomination until after the
withdrawal of his name. He then
went to McAdoo and later to Cox.
Judge Erwin's health began to fail
several years ago, and he was a
frequent visitor at various health re
irorts and clinics, and had been oper
ated upon by eminent surgeons sev
eral times.
Judge Erwin Is survived by two
sons, five daughters and hosts of
friends in Alaska and throughout the
country.
