TWO WEEKS OF
DEBATE CONCLUDED
Full Discretion is Left With
President To Select Route
And Arrange Details of
Construction. Republicans
Favor Bill.
RY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, .. c., Jan. 22-The
senate recessed late this afternoon un-
til noon tomorrow without taking q
. final vote on the Alaska railroad bill.
THE legislative day of January twenty
second will continue until the votes are
taken.
The project for a government
owned and operated railway in Alaska
was UP for vote in the senate toda ny
after nearly two weeks of debate. By
unanimous consent 1t had been agreed
TO begin the roll call at o'clock after
Senator Pittman and Dillingham; con-
cluded their announced speeches on
the bill and senate leaders were con-
fident 1t would pass by an overwhelm-
ing nonpartisan vote.
The subject is yet in the first stages
OF debate in the house where Deleg gate
wickershan of Alaska has offered a
measure virtually the same as the
Chamberlain bill. Several weeks may
elapse before the house acts.
The Chamberlain bill, as amended
IN committee would authorize the pres
ident to construct about a thousand
miles of railway at a cost not to ex-
ceed $4,000. 600 to connect some point
on the Pacific coast of Alaska with the
interior Of the territory.
Full discretion is left with the press
ident to select the route and ARA ge
4he details OF construction. Efforts
70 amend the bill to include a gov
ernment steamship line from the ter
rninaI Of the railroad to Pacific coast
port and to provide for government
operation of coal mines in Alaska we're
rejected by the committee but were
expected to be renewed on the floor.
-Four republicans, Senator Jones,
Borah, Poindexter, and kenyon, sup
ported the bill in lengthy arguments
during the debate and Senator Norris
also indicated an intention to vote for
it. But two democrats, Senators
Williams and Bankhead opposed it.
Virtually all opposition was based on
objection to government ownership of
railways.
1t was expected that before the vote
in the senate a strenuous effort wiz
be made to amend the provision per-
uniting the president to lease the line
when constructed if, in his judgment,
better terms could be made by pri-
vate contract, than for the government
to run it.
