COMMISSION ASKED
ON RACE SUICIDE

Boston, Mass, Jan. 31.-The reso-
luton which Representative Newton.
OF South Boston. has presented in
the house, to provide for the appoint
ment by the governor OF a commission
to consider the matter or race suk
eide, is attracting considerable inter-
est. The resolution reads as follows:
RESOLVED, That a commission OF
three persons, be appointed by the
governor, to consider what steps can
be taken to counteract the tendency
known as race suicide, and especially
to prevent discrimination by land
lords against tenants with children.
The commission shall consider, what.
If any, legislation in the premises is
expedient or possible, and what means
If any might properly be taken, the
commission to arouse public opinion
in respect to the aforesaid evils. The
commission shall serve without com
pensation, but any expense necessarily
incurred by them shall be paid on
approval by the governor from the
treasury of the commonwealth. They
shall report to the general court not
later than the first day of February
Of the year 1907"
There is strong probability that
this resolution will be passed by the
legislature, as the matter OF threaten
ing race suicide and particularly some
of the features of the problem, like
the attitude of landlords against fam
lilies with many children, has been re-
peatedly brought to the attention of
the public.

ALASKA WITHDRAWS
FOR JAMESTOWN FAIR

Richmond, Va, Jan. 31.-The friends
and promoters of the jamestown Ex,
position are highly elated over the
information that the promoters of the
Alaska-Yukon Exposition, which was
also planned for the year 1907, have
decided to withdraw from the field
and TO postpone their exposition till
1909, thus leaving the jamestown Elk
position a free field, without danger
Gus competition.
The Alaska-Yukon Club of Seattle,
Wash, of which ]. E. Chilberg is
president and w. E. Sheffield, secre.
tary, has been devoting its time to a
propaganda for the purpose of organ.
izing an Alaska-Yukon Exposition III
1907. A short time ago the promoters
of the jamestown Exposition wrote a
letter to the president of the Alaska
Yukon Club, requesting the club to
postpone their planned exposition, to
avoid competition with the jamestown
Exposition.
The Alaska-Yukon Club gave due
consideration to the request of the
jamestown Exposition promoters and
decided that 1t would be better for
both parties to postpone the Alaska
Yukon Exposition for two years. Mum
erous requests from various branches
of the Sons and Daughters of the
American Revolution, for a postpone
ment of the Alaska-Yukon Exposition
added weight to the request of the
exposition people and the postpone
ment of the northern fair was de
clded on.

give the permit if the Company would file

Company refused to do, and said they did
not want any Woodbury. business anyway.
