ON ALASKAN BILL
Measure Providing for Appoint
ment Of Legislative Councils
Arousing Much Opposition.
OBJECTION TO C0NFERRING
POWER UPON PRESIDENT
Advocates of Plan Regard Many
Alaskans Incapable of Self
Government.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-The fact
that the bill providing for the creation
Of an Alaskan legislative council, 10
be appointed by the president, recently
reported from the senate committee ON
territories. will not have an easy road
was made manifest when the measure
was under consideration in the senate
today
Before Senator Bcveridge could have
it read he was compelled to answer q
volume OF questions, and also to meet
Il number of criticisms as 10 the merits
of the bill. The. principal objection was
based on the provision for the appoint
mcnt of the proposed council by the
president. The prevailing opinion of
senators who spoke seemed to be that
election would be preferable. BY some
there was objection to any legislation.
Westerners Object
The opposition TO the bill in its pres
ent form was voiced by Senators Clark
of Wyoming, Clarke of Arkansas.
Borah of Idaho, Frazier of Tennessee
and Crawford of South Dakota The
bill was champIoned by Senators Bev-
erldge and Piles.
Senator Bcveridge said that his re
cent verbal explanation to the senate
had been intended to take the place of
the usual formal committee report, and
Senator Piles, contending for some
legislation that would give the
Alaskans self government, said it would
be impossible TO obtain the passage by
congress of a bill providing for the
election of members of the council.
Being asked if there were other rea-
sons than that of the great distance
between points in Alask "a why the elec-
tive process would not be desired, Mr.,
Piles replied in tbe Affirmative, aud
said it had been coutended that an
element of the Alaskan population was
of such character as to make them un-
desirable as voters.
Borah Speaks Plainly.
Saying that he was not among those
who regard the Alaskan people in
capable of government, Mr.. Piles
was questioned by Senator Borah as 10
why it had not been given them in
the bill He added that he had not
heard member of the committee cx-
press such ap opinion.
''Then why not give 1t TO them -
asked Mr.. Borah.
"Because of temporary conditions, -
responded Mr.. Piles.
Mr.. Clarke of Arkansas urged that
no action be taken on the bill until the
result of the new census could be placed
before the senate.
Without any definite understanding
the consideration of the bill was post
poned until tomorrow.

GARFIELD DIsAPPROVES
BALLINGER'S MEASURES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Iancs A.
Garfield, former secretary of the lu-
terror, TODAY continued his statement
before the senate committee on public
lands in reference to several bills in
troduced at the request of Secretary
approve of the recommendations of Nlr.
Ballinger on several important features
of the proposed legislation.
Mr. Garfield thought the Ralhngcr
bill relating 10 the control of wafer
power sites would interfere with the
improvement of lands for the develop
mcnt of power. lie declared, however,
there should hc legislation for the con
troll of any lands valuable for the de
velopmept of water power, so as 10
prevent mouoroles.
The same principle would apply, he
said, 10 coal lands. Discussing the con
troll of public lands chiefly valuable
for The development OF water power.
Mr. Garfield said that conservationists
generally recognized that the federal
government has no authority 10 enact
laws for the use of The water. rs that
control is vested IN The states. The
only proposition, he said. was that
the federal government govern tho use
Of lands adjacent In the water for the
purpose of building power plants.
which would nccessitate cooperation
with the states 10 obtain the use Of the
water.
Must Protect Settlers.
According to Mr.. Garfield, the gov.
crnmcnt should not weight down future
settlers on these lands in such manner
as would prevent them from compct
ing with others who obtained their
lands and use Of waters under more
advantageous conditions,
Most members of the committee de
clared that they are opposed to any
bills designed merely to enable tho
government to get every cent possible
out of water power sites or mineral
lands II is asserted thnt the commit
tee desires TO make il as easy as pos
sibIc for individuals TO take up those
public lands, aud that no legislation
shall be favored for any purpose other
than 10 prevent monopolies gaining
foofhold.
Mr.. Garfield has succeeded in avoid
ing thc appearance of attacking the
policies of Mr. Ballinger by approving,
in part, many propositions he suggests.

MOTOR BONNETS.

Each month brings new and prettier styles in the motor bOnnets. which range all the way from the counter part of the old-fashioned Quaker bon net to the flower bedecked creation right from the hands of the high priced milliner. A year or so ago it was a common sight to see the women of a motoring party with, oiled silk caps on their heads looking for all the world as if they were going surf bathing. Many women did not seem to think it at all necessary to look their prettiest when motoring; but times have changed. and now the motor bonnet is as artistic as the chapeau milady wears to the society function. There are cute little bonnets which set close to the face and tie on one side with coquettish bow of rib bon; there are bonnets with poke brims of shirred silk and fluffy crowns and there are turbans galore one of the handsomest of these turbans is that draped in Persian silk. Black and white plaid silk is used quite exten- sively for the motor bonnet and all ways with a touch of bright color There is such q wide range of colors and. shapes in the motor bOnnets that there is no reason why every woman who motors should not have a becom- ing headgear and yet many women seem to lack taste, for they select hid- eous bonnets which are as unbecom- ing as can be. Why should not a wo- man try to look her prettiest in motor car as well as on any other oc- casion?
