PROGRESSIvES WILL
 GO TT ALONE

WASHINGTON, April SO'-At the close of their recent meeting the mem- bers of the Progressive party nation al executive committee issued a state ment declaring there is no possibili- ty of the new party ever amalgamat- ing with either of the old parties. They criticised the action of the Dem ocrats in Congress with regard to the tariff.
 "There is neither prospect nor pos sibility of any amalgamation or com bination of the Progressives with eith- CT of the old Tory parties" says the official statement. "The Republican party under permanently reactionary leadership, presents no hope of gen. uine progressive achievement. There can be no progressive Democracy be- cause the Democratic theory of State rights and progressive legislation are incompatible with each other"

NEW TARIFF BILL MAY
 BREAK TREATIES

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The possi- ble violation of over score of trea- ties between the United States and for eign nations, through one provision of the new tariff bill that proposes a concession in tariff on goods brought in by American-built ships, is giving concern to officials of the State and Commerce departments.
 The section under consideration would reduce by 5 per cent the tariff on all foreign goods brought to this country "in vessels built in the United States and which shall be wholly the property of citizen or citizens there of."
 Treaties now in force with Great Britain and with a score or more of other nations provide in effect that the same tariff shall be levied on the imports from those countries, wheth- CT brought in American ships or in the shipes of the country from which the imports come.

SACRAMENTO, Califo May l. A new alien land bill has been prepared that it is believed will be finally passed by the California legislature. It provides that aliens eligible for cit izenship may acquire land Other aliens may acquire property under the provisions of rights they might have under the terms of any treaty of the national government that is now in force between this Nation and that of the country of which the alien is sub feet. Corporations may hold lands in accordance with treaties of the United States now existing regardless of the citizenship of their stockhold' CTS.

AFTER FOREIGN
 HALIBUT P0ACHERS

The charge that the waters of Alas. ka are being ravaged by foreign fish. ermen in defiance of law resulted in memorial being passed by both houses of the legislature at last nights session calling the attention of Con- gross to the alleged facts and asking that revenue cutter or other suitable vessel be directed to patrol the coast al waters of Southeastern Alaska dur ing the fishing season to enforce the provisions of existing laws.
 The memorial was introduced in the House by Boyle and after passage hur. riedly rushed through the Senate. It reads as follows:
 To the Senate and House of Repre-.
 sentatives of the United States of
 America in Congress Assembled:
 Your MemoriaIists, the Legislature of the Territory of Alaska, do most respectfully and earnestly represent that
 Whereas, There is much fishing for haIibut by foreign vessels within the three.mile limit of the waters of Alas ka, and
 Whereas, This is a gross injustice to the citizens of Alaska and is in contravention of the provisions of the alien fisheries act of Congress, ap- proved June IA, 1906, and
 Whereas, fisherman from the above named alien haiibut vessels are ruth. lessly and illegally slaughtering deer, and
 Whereas, the Federal Bureau of Fisheries with it's present limited fa' cilities cannot effectively patrol the region affected
 Therefore, you memorialists earn estly and respectfully petition your honorable body that a revenue cutter or other suitable vessel be directed to patrol the coastal waters of South east Alaska during the fishing sea. son to enforce the provisions of exist ing law.

Revenue And Appropriation
 Bills Passed Last Night

water works and other public utilities. The latter passed the House by vote of l3 and no opposition, and the Sen ate with votes and no opposition
 The Senate refused to concur in the House amendments to the fisheries memorial: a committee on confer ence consisting of Syindseth, Burns and Jones from the House, and Suth- erland. Willard and Tanner from the Senate reported back that the Senate receded from it's position and the. memorial was adopted as amended
 House Joint Memorial No. $. by shoup. asking that several items of license tax be removed or changed by Congressional action, was rushed through on final passage through the House and transmitted to the Senate It was defeated in the upper branch of the legislature but vote to recon slider resulted in it's passage with cer- tain amendments. The House refused 10 concur and conference committee was appointed. The stumbling bolck was the request to have the tax on banks removed. A compromise was arriving at by changing to graduated license tax on the capital stock. The memorial asks that the tax on stamps in stamp mills be removed, that trans, fer companies be assessed according to number or rigs instead of a flat rate. that general merchandise stores be permitted to carry patent medi- cines without paying the vendors h- cense tax now imposed.
 Two perfectly good clocks, one in the Senate Chambers, and one in the Hall of the House. refused to record the lapse of time toward the latter moents of last nights sessions. That the day might be continued and the battle won President Ray of the Sen ate and Speaker Collins of the House commanded time to stand still and it was even so.
 The city clocks showed that May first had been ushered in before the weary solons had left the legislative halls.

TFCISI IATURE ADJOURNED AT NOON
FIGHT
 CROPS UP AGAIN

Senate Joint Memorial No. IF, in troduced by Senator Roden early in April. was the cause of a wordy tilt in the House this morning and brought to the fore the Clark-Wickersham reud, and the political contentious eX- isting between the factions in Fair banks. The memorial asks Congress to make an appropriation of $4,OOO for the purchase of land on which to erect a detention hospital for insane persons. The memorial recites that although there has been a Congress- ional appropriation of $25,OOO vailable for the construction of two detention hospitals. one at Nome and one at Fairbanks since 1910, that the board charged with the disbursement of this fund has failed to act because of the disability that the act appropriating the money failed to make a provision for acquiring ground on which to er- ect the building.
 The memorial had passed the Sen ate, and had been in the hands of Chairman Driscoll, of the House com mittee, since April 12 ,and was not reported back to the House until this morning. Driscoll moved to lay the memorial on the table. Kennedy was on his feet instantly and declared that the measure was of great importance to the people of Nome and he objected to the memorial being sidetracked.
 Driscon then went into the history of the detention hospital from his view point He declared that the board was in error as to the grounds on which the hospital had failed of being erected. He charged that Gov ernor Clark was responsible in that he would not, as member of the board, select a building site that had been offered by the people of Fair banks. The memorial had purposely been held back to prevent its passage because it was his belief that it would interfere with the erection of the hos pital this summer and because it would interfere with Delegate Wicker sham's plans to get an appropriation Of $1OO,OOO for a public building in Fairbanks He charged that the mem orial was introduced for political pur poses in order to embarrass Delegate Wickersham.
 Gafrney, of Nome, read a tel egram from the Commercial Club of Fairbanks, asking the legis- lature to memorabilia Congress for the appropriation of the necessary funds for the purchase of the site and then launched into a great argu- ment for the passage of the memorial and the defeat of the motion to lay the measure on the table. During his address he took occasion to read from the report of Governor Clark bearing upon the subject in hand. The speak CT declared that so far as Nome was concerned there was no land avail able without purchase and that if Fairbanks wanted to be excluded in sharing in the advantages to be gained he would not oppose it but in- sisted for the sake of Nome that the memorial should pass.
 The motion to table was lost and the memorial went to final passage re- ceiving 13 of the Is votes.
