Merry Time In
 House Today

House Bill No. 16, Representative Kennedy's measure to eliminate the walking delegate of labor organiza- tions, couched in such terms that the title and text are at war with each other, caused merry time in the House this morning. The title of the bills reads "A Bill for an Act to Pre- vent Interference with Workmen in the Territory of Alaska" No where else does the term "workmen" appear in the bill. Section l of the bin says: 'Tt shall be unlawful for any person to exact by threat or coercion, any money tribute, or support whatsoever, from any person; or to induce him by threats or coercion, to join any or ganization. The House was consid- ering the bill as committee of the whole. Gafrney turned his burst of oratory against the measure condemn ing it as a measure concocted to intim- idate workingmen and direct slap at organized labor. Burns, of Fair banks, also opposed the bill saying it could only be construed as adirect slap at organized labor. Ingersoll was op- posed to the bill on the ground that it was class legislation and that any such bill that would be effective would of necessity be class legislation. As a lawyer he said that it was his opin. ion that the bill could not be enforced and that court of competent juris- diction would annul it on account of the defect in the title. It was aiming at one thing in the title while the text was broad enough to embrace many other things. The bill as now drawn was frivolous and would be unll and void.
 Those supporting the measure were Kennedy, Driscoll, and Collins. They claim that the measure is not designed to interfere with organized labor but at the undesirable trouble makers who never work and want to keep good men from working through intimida- tion and coercion and who live off the tribute exacted by organizations. The committee of the whole by vote of s to placed the bill on the table
 Senator Millards legal holiday bill passed the House, which will be the second law to be sent to the Govern or for approval.
 The House passed Svindseth's alien fisherman bill and if the Senate con CUTS it will be unlawful for any but cit. izens of the United States except na- tives of the aboriginal race or descend ants of those who were living in Alas ka at the time of the transfer to the United States, to fish or take fish in Alaska waters.

GAFFNEY EXPLAINS
 HIS OPPOSITION

While I am in favor of all reason able humanitarian legislation. am op, posed to interference by the Terri torial government in Indian matters at all. and | believe that conditions exist ing in Alaska do not require the ser vices of a juvenile court at this time" said Representative Thomas Gafney of Nome. this morning in talking of his vote upon the juvenile court bill Explaining, further, Mir Gaffney con tinued:
 Alaska is sparsely settled as yet, and the people of every community know pretty we'll what is going on about them. The inhabitants up here are warmhearted, sympathetic and generous. Public sentiment is whole some. and demands a square deal for everyone. and particularly for those that are not able, on account of ten der years or other physical conditions, to care for themselves. I cannot imag- inc a case that could arise any place in this territory where the interests of a child cannot be trusted to the people acting from the impulse of friendship or out of the goodness of their hearts. As long as that con dition obtains it is far better for the child that aid should come to it's as- sistance in the natural. whole-hearted manner that it always does come rather from the cold hand of a court of justice
 Tn the large cities where it is i'm possible for the community to leern without careful investigation of the existence of perils to children or of particular instances of distressed con. ditions there are. and rightly so, jul venfe courts that guarantee a square deal to any youth that has been denied a fair opportunity by fate, but so far as Alaska is concerned, I would rather put trust in the independent action of the generous and warm-hearted people
 These are my reasons for voting against the juvenile court bill"

LONDON, April 9.-Miss Zelie En-
erson, the Jackson (Mich.) suffra-
gette who was released from Hollo-
way Jail yesterday because of illness
brought on by a hunger strike, IL to-
day a nervous wreck.
Miss Emerson is a patient in a
nursing home where she was taken
by her mother after her release from
prison. Her condition was so acute
to-day that Mrs Emerson, the moth
er. was allowed to see her daughter
for only a few minutes No one else
was allowed in the sick room save the
nurses.
Militant sunragettes failed in an
ATTEMPT to seize Miss Emerson and
place her on exhibition as the living
example of torture I'm English pris-
ons." Doctors said that such an act
would probably have resulted fatally
for the girl.
In spite of her weakness and the
agony of illness. Miss Emerson pluck
iIy declared that she would again take
part in militant demonstrations
against the British Government.
Although ! am an American, l am
fighting for MY sisterhood,' she &c
clared
The doctors warned her that she
must not excite herself by thinking OF
militancy or talking about il, but Mis-
Emerson was so enthusiastic that she
insisted upon telling her nurse of hel
plans for future demonstrations
Special precautions were taken to-
dav to prevent any attempt TO moles'
/ King George and queen Mary on theil
visit to Woolwich. Squads of plaiT
clothes policemen accompanied theil
majesties, and all suspicious looking
women were kept at distance from
