 HAVE HARD NUT

One of the hard nuts the Alaska Leg islature is having to crack is the ques' tion of raising revenue to conduct the government for which they are making laws, rules and regulations. Many of the members of the Legisla- ture are opposed to anything in the nature of a direct tax. Delegate Jas. Wickersham, when he was here early in the session took strong ground against the necessity of levying a property tax or a tax on the output of the mines. If this plan shall final ly be adopted it will mean, of course that some other method of raising revenues must be devised.
 Whether or not the Legislature shall finally attempt to get along without direct tax and raise all the needed revenues indirectly, it is cer- tain that they are seriously consider ing methods of getting money through an extension of the licensing system that the federal government has em- ployed in this Territory.
 Among the plans to raise addition al revenue for Territorial purposes that have been proposed is one to put a tax on fish traps and the cannery output. It has ben suggested that an annual license tax of $15O on each fish trap would yield $3O,OOO a year, and that an additional tax on the output of canneries would increase this amount to such proportions that it would give considerable sum for the use of the Territory in addition to the extra expense it might be put to in connection with enforcing fishing laws,
 Another suggestion has been that lawyers and physicians be required to pay a license tax.
 What the cannerymen and the law yers and physicians think of these proposals has not developed, but it is not unreasonable to suppose that they will not think well of them. Profes sional men that have discussed the proposition as applied to them point out that there is no where in the country a tax placed upon individual services, and that it would be just as reasonable to tax trades and all lines of occupation, where payment would be made by the individual for the priv ilege of working, as 1t would be to i'm pose a tax upon them.

Representative F. NJ. Boyle of Val dez. the only physician in the Alaska Legislature. and chairman of the com mittee on education, public health, quarantine and morals, has introduced bills in the legislature for the regula- tion of the practice of medicine and surgery and of pharmacy in Alaska. He is preparing bill for the regula- tion of dental surgery, but it has not yet reached the point of introduction.
 Dr Boyle's bills propose boards to be appointed by the governor to have charge of the examination of physi- clans and surgeons and pharmacists, the issuance of certificates to them and the enforcement of laws on the sub feet. Each of the boards must be com posed of eight members, two from each Judicial Division, and their terms of office run for two years. It is pro- vided that no one can be appointed on the territorial board of medical exam iners for more than two terms in sue cession.
 In pointing out the necessity for leg islation on these subjects Dr. Boyle says the various States are constantly making their laws regulating the prac' tice of medicine. dentistry and phar' macy more stringent. and the result ing tendency is for those who cannot meet the requirements of the more rigid laws to go to country where the laws are more lax. It is to protect the people of Alaska from incompe tent physicians. dentists and pharma tests that he desires the passage oi his bills.
 Under the terms of Dr. Boyle's bill anyone desiring to practice medicine in the territory must show that he is a graduate of a responsible medical college, having a four years course and take an examination to be con ducted by the board. It is provided however, that a showing that an ap plicant has been admitted to practice

FIND WOMAN DEAD
UNDER DRUG STORE
Pittsburgh Police Arrest
Clerk Who Says She Came
There Night Before.
MINUS CLOTHING, HE
TOOK HER TO CELLAR
Prisoners Story Doubted, as He
Says He Was Assisted by a
MYSTERIOUS "TOm."

Pittsburgh, Nov. 1.-THE body OF Mrs.
Mayme Greineisen. aged thirty-fve, wife
OF oliver Greineisen, a West End drug
clerk, was found late to-day lying face
downward OH a cinder pile in the cellar
Of c. A. Givens's pharmacy. on the South
SIDE of the city. Practically nude, the
body was scratched and bruised. The
woman's left eye was discolored and her
hair knotted and unkempt.
Michael l.. Sweeney drug clerk, em-
ployed in the Givens pharmacy, was ar
rested in the store a few minutes after
the voman's body was found. Sweeney
was in a highly nervous condition and
told a disconnected story of how the
woman reached the cellar. lie said Mrs
Greineisen walked into the Givens phar-
macy about o'clock last night, almost
nude, and that he and Tom Hawkins,
or "Harkins." picked her up and carried
her into the cellar.
Mumblng incoherently, Sweeney was
locked in a police station cell tonight
and will be turned over to the coroner
tomorrow A search is being made for
the Tom" mentioned by Sweeney.
The authorities doubt the story told by
Sweeney as TO Mrs. Greineisens appear
ance at Givens's pharmacy, alleging II
to be impossible for a woman, almost
nude. to walk through several streets
early Sunday evening without detection.
The police found the body dressed in a
short dressing sacque, a white under
skirt. two stockings and one shoe. The
shoe appeared to be that of man.
Thrown over the body was ragged,
heavy. dark cape. A short skirt had
been cut down the back. Blood had been
flowing from the womans mouth, and
the body was lacerated from the cinders.
The body was discovered in the cellar
through a remark alleged to have been
made by Sweeney to a neighbor that a
woman was in the cellar AS the body
was being carried to morgue ambulance
Sweeney's nervousness attracted the at
tention of Captain Alt Upon being asked,
Sweeney told who the woman was.
She came in here about o'clock last
night" he said. without any clothes on.
She made noise. and Tom and car
ried her down TO the cellar
Sweeney then refused to talk further.
