THREE MEMBERS
OF LEGISLATURE
HERE FOR TERM
Two Senators and One Rep
resentative Arrive —
Others on Alameda.
Three additional members of th
Territorial Legislature arrived her
Saturday and Sunday, two comini
from the 'Westward on the North
■western and the third from the Sout!
on the Spokane. Senator E. K
Chamberlin, of Seward, and Senator
elect John W. Dunn, of Ruby, am
Representative-elect W n. Grant, o
Wrangell, are the members arriving
One member of t:he upper House
Senator-elect Fred M. Ayer, of Nome
and one House member. Represents
live-elect Raedson. of .Nome also, art
passengers on the Alameda from Se
attle. It Is also expected that Sen
ator Forest J. Hunt, of Ketchikan
will arrive on the Alameda tomorrow
Three Senators and eight members
of the lower House are still to tht
Westward and have passage on tht
Watson, whieh Is expected to read
here about Saturday or Sunday. I
ils due to sail from Seward nexi
Wednesday, according to member:
arriving Saturday. Those who wll
be aboard her are: Senators-elec
A. J- Ditnond, Charles W. Brown ant
M. D. Snodgrass; Representatives
elect Wilson of the Second, Pries
.Murray, Foster a.nd Staser of Hi
Thlird, and Johnson, Keyes and Re.
of the Fourth.
Until these members arrive, littli
progress will be made In settling t
slate for organization of either House
aro here now. Although a major ti
of the Senate membership will b<
present after the arrival of the Ala
meda tomorrow, it 'is understood tha
no attempt will be mado to scttl*
definitely the Mneup in that chamber
Right members of the House will bt
on the ground ready for the open inf
when the Ala met t arrives and its
organization will very probably lx
discussed, in the opinion of observ
era. But it ts not believed that anj
selection for either speaker or ch.iel
rJerk of the House will be under
taken before the Watson arrives.
It Ss reported here that Senato:
Hunt, senior Senator from this Divl
slon and one of the two holdovei
members of that body, has declined
to 'be considered In connection with
the Presidency of the Senate, Sena
tor Chamberlin, the other holdover
member, 'Is, therefore. generally
looked on as logically in lino for the
position He declined to discuss the
matter today, saying that organize
Won matteri weald probably not be
taken up untr'J the arrival of all
members.
i&enator-eled Dunn said he was not
interested In the Senate organization
That, he added. Is a matter for the
Republican members to decide among
themselves and not for the minority
party to worry about.
So far there has been little .di
vulged regarding the probable or
ganization of the House. Members
of that body who are here, are:
Cash Cole, H. R. Shepard, K. M.
Policy, W. .D. Grant, of the First;
James P. Daly and R. D. Docker,
Second; Dan Callahan, Fourth. Cole
and Daly are the only two of these
with servf.ee in former legislatures.
Both have been mentioned as pos
sible candidates for Speaker. The
fact that Daly, who is a Democrat,
was elected as an Independent last
November, Is said to make serious
consideration of him unlikely, al
though he Is admittedly one of the
beet qualified members for the posi
tion. In case party Vines are not
strtctly followed in the organization,
It is said he will be given considera
tion as chairman of some Important
committee, possibly of the Ways and
Means committee. J. H. Murray, of
the Third, who has served in two
other sessions, 'is also considered
likely material for the speakership,
and some mention has been mad? of
H. H. Ross, of Fairbanks, who was a
member of tha 1921 legislature.

•'KING OF HOUSE OF DAVID" IN TROUBLE.
Startling charges of immoral ty and forced marriages In wholesale lots, without consent of either
the girl or the man, are contained In affidavit!) tiled in Benton Harbor, Michigan, in damage suits for
$goo,(iiMi against Benjamin Borne 1, “King of the House of David," a sooalled religious order. The suits
were filed by Mrs. Ruth Baniford Reed, 17, and Mrs. Gladys Bamford Rmbel, 19, sisters, of Detroit, who
aline that they with 27 other girls, ranging from 10 to 15 years, were placed in a separate house,
when they were given a long cour :e of instruction and taught to believe that whatever Burnell asked
them to do was right, sacred and an act of God. Burnell’s defense will be that the gills are suffering
from hysteria and hereditary insanity.

Abandon Tradition of
Cutting Down Trees
TOK.IO, Feb. 2U.—Beginning this new

in front of the government offices.
; Tlie authorities think it is a useless

trees just to celebrate the short l'es-|

I the city was partly deprived of the j
