NEW ERA BORN IN NORTH With 24 Members, Formative Stage of Period1 of Self -Government Is Marked, All Reaching Juneau In Rub-Zero Weather. JUNEAU. Alaska. March 3. fSne- claL) Marking the beginning of a new era lor Alaska, the formative stage of the period of self-government, the 24 members of the first Alaskan Terri torial Legislature met here today In the Elks' Hall. . Thousands of miles were traveled by members of this assembly, which is the beginning of lawmaking on the last frontier. From Nome, 2000 miles away; from Iditarod, 1600 miles, and from other points In the Interior equally re mote, the benators and Representatives came, braving snow and snow - laden winds, fighting their way In sub-zero weather along trails of wind - packed snow. Pioneers and gold-seekers who came north with the early rush to the Klon dike and who have followed the Alas kan camps through their days of for tune and solid progress will dominate the newly-born assembly. . Alaska Solons Ambitions. A Senate caucus had already chosen Senator L. V. Ray as president of the Senate and John B. Marshall as chlel clerk. The House caucus had chosen Representative E. B. Collins as speaker. A flood or bills to enact all sorts of legislation, as well as many petitions to congress, are to be presented by the ambitious solons. Among the most Im portant and hardest, to handle will be the eight-hour law. Other measures that will be presented Include one to regulate Alaska banks to protect the depositors; amendment of codes to con form to modern practices: a modern corporation receivership act: territorial probate law; board of health for the control of sanitation and quarantine; care of indigent sick and statistics; a law permitting service on foreign cor porations doing business in Alaska when application is made to the Sec retary of the Territory or clerk of the courts. There will also be a cannery Inspec tion, law and a lien law to protect workmen colecting pay. Contrary to the prevailing notion that the act of Congress creating the Legislature so restricts its Towers that the members will have nothing to do but draw their pay,, the measure treats Alaska better than any ot the Government's former territories. Power to Alter Withheld. Introduced in the House of Repre sentatives by Delegate James Wioker sham, of Fairbanks, the enabling act was approved on August 24. 1912. after passing Congress. It extends the Con- sltution and laws of the United States to Alaska, but withholds from the Leg islature all power to alter, amend, modify or repeal laws relating to the customs. Internal revenue or postal de partments, or extending or amending the laws relative to the hunting and taking of game, fish, fur, seal and fur bearing animals In the territory. It prohibits the Legislature from creating any debt or issuing any sort of notes or bonds. Other than in this particular the powers of the Alaska Legislature are liberal. It cannot create a county form of government without special leave of Congress. It can permit the organization ot corpora tions for general business purposes, but such corporations as It does per mit must do their principal business in Alaska, so that the territory cannot foster the Incorporation of trusts, as most ot the older territories could and. in many Instances, did. While It cannot authorize any change In the liquor laws or In the laws of the United States against lotteries and gambling. It Is specifically permitted to adopt woman's suffrage if it desires. It cannot meddle with the Jurisdiction of the, district courts of the territory, l ade Sans Pays Bills. The Federal Government pays all the bills for running governmental artlvt ties and, as well, the salaries and ex penses of the new Legislature. The pay of thp' Senators and Representa tives Is $15 a day while the Legislature is in session, and. in addition, the solons are allowed mileage of li "cents a mile to the capital from their homes and return..

District Attorney Fredericks, as wit ness.

He promised leniency, he said, in the Franklin case. Fredericks denied taJctog part In a conference with Davis and Darrtfw. tes tified to by both, prior to tha denoue ment of the McXamara case. . Ha de clared that he had not been approached directly on the subject of a compro mise plea for both brothers until the night of Thanksgiving day, the day before the McKamaras entered their pleas, although he had been summoned to two conferences called by those projecting tha plan, which he had at tended for a abort time. 1P0LICY IS ASSAILED Senator Fall Sees Plenty of Ex cuse for Intervention. AMERICANS' PERIL RECITED Declaration Made That United States Troops Are Used to Harass Amer icans Instead of Crossing- Bor der to Protect Them. WASHINGTON, March J. An attack on the policy pursued by the United States in patrolling the Mexican bor der during the Mexican revolutions was made in the Senate today by Senator Fall, of New Mexico, a member of the special investigating committee that has conducted a recent Investigation Into border conditions. Senator Fall declared that the com mittee, in Its Investigation along the border from San Diego, Cal, to New Orleans, bad come In contact frequent ly with cases where the armed forces of the United States had been used to arrest American citizens on American soil. "The American troops have been used to oppress American citizens in their own country," said Senator Fall, "In stead of being used to protect them when they were being robbed and mur dered on this side of the border line. Americans have been thrown into prison and deprived of life and liberty. "This Is not a single instance, but a condition that has been general along the border for more than a year." Senator Fall reviewed, in some de tail, the testimony taken by the spe cial committee, of which Senator Smith of Michigan was chairman. He said that scores of witnesses resident In Mexico teatnied to tha fact that they had been attacked simply because ot their American citizenship. The United States, he said, had ex tended no protection to these people. "We would be much mora Justified in sending troops Into Mexico than we were in sending marines Into Nica ragua," be declared.
