ALIEN CLAIMS

Washington, May Is. The house
committee on revision Of laws, after
practically deciding to include the
! 5lHiianIsbrough e amendment forbidding
aliens from holding mineral claims in
Alaska. concluded to rescind that ac-
ton and leave the bill as it passed

posed action and threatened to talk
the bill to death if that amendment
