Alaskan Legislative Council Bill
Likely to Find Rough Shedding
Before Being Passed.

Washington. Feb. H.-Strenuous oppo-
sition from unexpected quarters was the
reception met by the Alaskan legislative
council bill during its brief consideration
in the Senate today.
Assaults upon various features of the
measure by Senators Clark, of Wyoming:
Crawford, Borah, Hepburn, Fraser and
Clay, were answered by Senator Bever-
idge. who has the bill IN charge. until his
voice gave way, under q severe cold. Con
sideration of the bill was then postponed.
Senator Clark took exception to the
power given to the proposed council to re-
peal laws enacted by Congress; Senator
Clay to the control Of public lands, vested
in the council, and Senator Hepburn to
the appointment Of an army officer as
member Of the council.
Replying, Mr.. Beverage said that local
legislators would understand conditions in
the territory better than Congress possib-
ly could, and the President had reached
the same conclusion.
