HOME RULE TALK

One o( the strongest argu- mens> in favor of home rule. and one that has never been touched upon. Is our present helpless condition in the matter of opening roads to onr mining sections. There Is no authority by which property outside of incorporated towns can be tax ed. and consequently there is no way of obtaining the money necessary to build roads to points where mines are being developed. Take Valdez for i'll stance. Around this city on all sides are being developed many promising prospects. To reach these embryo mines We are compelled to use the primitive pack train, as there are no road and no provision in law by which such needed avenues of trade can be built. making the opening of this vast and rich country more difficult and ex- pen>iye than there is reason for. With home rule at least la portion of the money collect ed from cannerie> and other li- cen<ed business could be placed
 n local roads. propOrtionate to the importance. instead of un- der the present system of pIac- ing all license moneys collected outside of incorporated towns, in q fund to be used solely on main trunk lines.
 We certainly need home rule to attain the just degree of de- yelopment We have 6 right and a reason to anticipate. Mir. Booher of the house committee on territories spoke the truth when he said the people Of Alaska are particularly unani nous in favor of home rule We are III accord with that sen timent with the same degree of unanimity WE are in seeing the rapid progress Of AIa>ka's mat erial wealth.

AMPH|THEATER AT
ARL|NGTONPROBABLE
Building Has Approval of
Both Houses and Is Ad-
I vocated BY G. A. R.

The House Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds ordered fav-
orable report yesterday on the bill
authorizing the construction of a $750,oO0
marble ampitheater at Arlington Gene
terry. The building will be dedicated to
the soldier dead, and has been advo-
Gated by the Grand Army of the Re-
public.
The Senate committee already has
reported the bill providing for the
erection of the memorial.
It is the plan Of the House committee
to include the AUTHORIZATION for the
amphitheater in the omnibus public
buildings bill, which will be brought out
at the next session. The Democratic
caucus action prevents the report of
such bill at this session, but the
action Of the committee today is notice
to the @. A. r. that the House Will
join with the Senate In erecting the
marble amphitheater at the National
Cemetery. ...
Ivory q. Kimbali. former Judge of the
District Police Court and chairman Of
the legislative committee of @. A. r.
veterans. who are in the public service,
appeared before the House committee
today. Judge kimball limited that the
memorial project had political as

Mr.. Ashbrook Of Ohio said there could
be no objection to including the am
phitheater authorization in the omnibus
bill, and this plan will be followed.
Congressman Austin. during the COM
mittee meeting today, asked Judge KIM
ball II the amphitheater would not con-
stitute an excellent convention hall for
G. A. r. and Confederate reunions.
Judge Kimball approved the suggestion.
Judge Kimball continued:
"The great army of veterans ask for
this amphitheater. because the Gov
them except the monument to the un-
known dead. 1t would not be a sec
tional affair, as the Confederates
would be able to hold their meetings
within its circular walls.
We do not want a cheap place. The
nation cannot afford to build cheap

I'VE want to see this erected In our

COMMERCE COURT
MAY BE ABOLISHED
Conferees Agree On Bill To Do
Away With Tri-
bunal.

II the conference report on the legisla-
tive bill. as 1t has been agreed to by
the House and Senate conferess. is
adopted, the Commerce Court will be
abolished.
The conferees. however. decided to re-
tain the five circuit judges in office. as
signed to such duty as may seem prop
er. This decision was in the nature of a
compromise, as the Senate voted to
abolish both the court and the Judge
ships when II passed the bill in the first
place. The conferees agreed to a pro-
vision in connection with the retention
of the judges that as vacancies occurred
in the places they should not be filed.
Considerable debate over the matter
Is expected in the Senate. Many believe
the President will veto the hill II 1t
goes to him carrying a provision to
abolish the Court of Commerce.

that this was not granted in the origi-

QUESTION Of FEES
!. TO BEACH GUARDS
WILL Be DECIDED
Corporation Counsel to Rule
on Pay for Swimming
Lessons.

In response 10 request by DR.. w. B.
Hudson, superintendent, the Commits
sioners, 1t was announced today, will
refer to the Corporation Counsel the
question of the right of employees of
the Bathing Beach to make use of the
pools in giving swimming lessons to
patrons for pay.
1t has been the custom since the es-
tablishment of the Bathing Beach in
1893, to permit the life guards TO give
special lessons to patrons desiring them
provided 1t did not interfere with their
regular duties. Their right to do this
has never before been questioned.
II shall be glad to obtain from the
Corporation Counsel an opinion as to
the legality OF the practice" said DR.
Hudson today. mo attempt has beer
made to conceal the fact, and l shall
welcome any investigation that ma,
be made" ....
DR.. Hudson said today that he has
received over 500 letters commencing
his administration Of the bathing beach,
many of which contained offers of
financial assistance In the event Of ar
investigation.
The statement was made by Com
missioner Rudolph today that as far as
he is able to learn no inducements have
been offered by the guards to patrons
to take private swimming lessons. Spe-
cial instruction. II was said, has beer
given only on request. There Is no
doubt in the minds of the officials as
to the right Of employees of the beach to
act as swimming Instructors outside OF
the regular hours. The question the
Corporation Counsel will be asked to de-
eide Is whether a public institution can
be made use of for this purpose.
