BILL
 STRIKES A SNAG

House Bill No. 4, Shoup's compul- sory education bill is having hard sledding in the Senate. The com mittee on education. public health, quarantine and morals reported back the bill with the recommendation that it do not pass, but after a heated argu- ment the committee again found them selves in possession of the measure with instruction to give it further con- sideration.
 The legal talent in the upper house is of the opinion that under the organic act the legislature has no power to en- act laws bearing on educational mat, ters. But even if there were no legal bars against such legislation the Shoup bill would still have opponents on the ground that the education of Indians is matter belonging by right to the general government Some of the solons of the upper house are of the opinion that education for the na' tive is not only not a benefit but on the contrary is a positive detriment to his well being. This view of course is not general.
 The law under consideration is said to have been drawn after the same measure that Prof. w. T. Lopp, su' perintendent of government schools in Alaska, will have presented to Con gress.'

ACME OF PHOTO PLAYS
 AT ORPHEUM TONIGHT

The attraction offered tonight at the orpheum is almost an inconceivable attraction of wonders. In "Homer's Odyssey" we have the acme of photo plays, and the superior of many great legitimate stage productions.
 The destroying of the one blazing and evil eye of Polythemus, the Cy- clopes giant, located in the center of his forehead, and the binding of the cannibal monster and the subse- Quent escape of Ulysses and his fol lowers, is the greatest thriller lmagin- able and holds the spectator palsied with bated breath.
 This is only one of the many thrill CTS of "Homer's Odyssey" and the pro, duction will no doubt prove a rare and pleasing treat to all who attend the Orpheum tonight.

Said They were
 MisquOted

This afternoon, under the order of other business of the House, Represen- tative Driscoll rose to the question of personal privilege. He said that he wanted to place himself and the Speak CT right before the people One of the local papers had only published fair account of one side of the debate and giving out the impression that him. self and the Speaker were opposed to organized labor. He said that he only argued for the virtues of the bill and wanted to be so understood. If such a thing happened again he would ask the privilege of bringing in resolu- tion setting forth the true facts of the case.
 Speaker Collins called Mir. Kelly to the chair and endorsed the statements made to by Mir. Driscoll and said that he only asked to be fairly quoted by the papers and that if he were wrong he would stand for it. He claimed that the article in one of the evening pa pers was biased, prejudiced and un' warranted account of the debate that took place yesterday over the Kenne' dy bill He said that he had been a laboring man all his life and was not against organized labor. He did not ask for a resolution clearing the false impression; that the people who elect ed him knew him and had sent him un' instructed and that he did not care what the newspapers said so long as they were truthful. He did not care for an apology or and retraction.
