LAWS FOR ALASKA.
Little Else Discussed at the House
Opening Session.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The house
spent today considering the bill to de-
fine and punish crimes in Alaska and
provide code Of criminal procedure
for the territory. Sixty-seven pages
were completed and the bill was made
continuing order until disposed Of,
priation bills or special orders. The
bill was prepared by the commission
appointed to codify the criminal and
penal laws of the United States.
Mr.. Moody ,Rep., Mass.) said that.
as the bill proposed a code for the gov
eminent of a dependency of the Unit
ed States, it might be well to consider
whether we were able to deal intelli-
gently with dependencies generally
He then launched a bitter attack upon
that section of the bill which repealed
ali existing laws relating to the sale
OF liquor in the district of Alaska, and
made it only unlawful to sell liquor
to Indians. This was a monstrous
proposition, he declared. Virtually, it
meant free rum in Alaska, the sale
of liquor without license, without reg
ulation and without restriction of any
kind. Such proposition was with
out parallel. 1t meant a relapse into
barbalis1n.
While Mr.. Moody was in the midst
OF the provision in the bill, against
which he was directing his assault,
Mr.. Warner Rep., Ill.), in charge of
the measure, created a laugh at Mr..
Moody's expense by informing him
that the section to which exception
was taken was to be amended.
Mr.. Maddox Oem., Ga) said, if Mr.
Moody had waited to hear the amend
ments read, he would have been with
out speech. The committee amend
no
jections.
An amendment was adopted giving
a jury, in ease verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree was return
ed, discretionary power to inf1ict capt.
tai punishment.
When the section was reached pro-
hibiting the sale or gift of intoxicat-
ing liquors to Indians, Mr.. Moody Of
fered an amendment continuing the
existing law, which prohibits the i'm
portation of liquor, except for medical,
mechanical and like purposes.
Mr.. Tongue Rep., Orr said it was
utterly impossible to enforce the pres
ent law. The Inhabitants of this dis
trict will not uphold officers of the law,
and liquor is openly sold.
Several minor amendments were
adopted. Sixty-seven of the 232 pages
Of the bill were disposed Of
The speaker then laid before the
house the memorial resolution adopted
by the senate out of respect to the
late Senator Morrill,. AS mark of
respect the house adjourned.

December the president of the United

Mr.. Ryan's attempt to prevent the con-
