Alaska will have no Senate if the
pending bill for the government of thai
Territory becomes a law. Its Legis-
lature will be but single body of six
teen members. And is not that enough2
Alaska covers an immense area, but
if its Legislature was as large as that
of some States it would draw heavily
on its seant population every time the
Legislature convened. Sixteen can do
the work of legislating for the Terri
tory as well as sixty or six hundred,
and Alaska can look forward to enjoy
ing a two branehed Legislature in thar
distant period when it has sufficient
population to admit it to Statehood

INQUIRY INTO ELECTION OF ILL.
NoIs SENATOR CLOSED.
Opinion 10 Divided q to sherld ans
Ability az stenographer-Dlcta-
graph Test Made.

MISUNDERSTANDING of testimony
in the senatorial investigation Of Sen.
ator Lorimer's election is concluded.
Attorney Hanecy was given permis.
sion to file brief and also present q
plea of res adjudica. Final action
by the senate Is not expected before
June. although the preparation of its
report will be begun at once by the
committee.
The nature of the plea Is that SEN
ator Lorimer's seat was placed in
Jeopardy once before on the same
charge and that the senate decided
he was entitled to his toga. The de-
tense will plead also that no add
tional evidence Of material Importance
was brought out at the second inves-
tigation. and that the present com.
mittee has no Jurisdiction.
The investigation Just ended began
on June 20, 1911. The committee has
been in session 102 days and has ex-
amined $50 witnesses. It is estimated
that the cost Of the inquiry 30 far A.
the government II concerned Is $101.-

Three things engaged the attention
Of the committee on tAe last day OF
its inquiry-tests Of the ability Of
]. E. Sheridan. a stenographer EN-.
ployed by the Burns Detective agency,
to take down a conversation heard
through a dictagraph: an apology
from Milton w. Blumenberg, who lost
his position when he denounced Sher-
idan's notes as manufactured" and
Edward Hines denial Of the story told
by Miss Sewers that be had tried to
bribe her.
The dictagraph tests Of Sheridan's
ability were made under conditions
approximating those encountered In
Toronto when he made notes OF q con-
'versation between Charles MCGOWAN.
a Hines-Lorimer witness, and two de-
tectives. lS a,
At the conclusion OF the tests the
opinion was Just as much divided n
before regarding Sheridan's ability to
take down a. conversation heard
