FREE TOLLS BILL
 IS IN SENATE

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The tolls repeal bill, which was received from the House yesterday, was referred to tho Senate committee on interoceanic canals, of which Senator James A. of New York, is chairman. The committee will meet Tuesday and take up the bill at once. Senator O'Gorman, who is opposed to the bill, will not, it is believed, do anything to impede the passage of the measure.
 Senator Robert l.. owen, of Okla. homa, who lead the fight for the cur rency measure with such signal abil- lty, may be selected to have charge of the tolls repeal bill. He is mem- Der of the committee, but well down on the list of members. The senior member, after Senator O'Gorman, is Senator John R. Thornton, of Louis lana.
 The fight over this bill, which has ceen transferred to the Senate, Is be- Tng warcueu' wIrn great interest. wnr,~- an overwhelming majority of the Dem- ocratic Senators will support the meas are. it is believed that 1t will not be possible to pass it with Democratic votes alone.

DRAPER CLUB MOVES
 FOR PUBLIC LIBRARY

At an enthusiastic meeting of the Draper Club held yesterday afternoon it was decided to establish and main tain free public library for this com muity. In seeking support for the movement. the Draper Club issued this statement:
 William J. Bryan says: The sys- tenn of free public libraries now being established in the country is the most important development of modern times. The library iss "a center fyom which radiates an ever widening in' fluence for the enlightenment, the up lift and the advancement of the com mmity.'
 ''The club will need the support of all the citizens of Juneau in this un- dsrtaking. which will supply n long felt want. That the Capital of Alaska should continue longer to be without a public library and reading room would be deplorable. As conner cial center and distributing point for Southeastern klasks. Juneau cannot cannot afford to be without library, which Sir Walter Besant calls The greatest educational factor we have. Not only the towasfoik. but the stu. dents in the high school and gram mar grades win reap the benefit of this movement"

FIRE DESTROYS BUNK
 HOUSE AND HOIST

Fire destroyed the old Hammond house at the lower end of Sheep creek basin and the hoist house for the Sheep Creek tramway this morning and for a time threatened not only the experimental mill nearby but also the Sheep creek settlement on account of the raging forest fire that resulted from the burning house. At 7:3O the fire had gained considerable headway in the forest and things looked ser ious. Practically all the men in camp, between 300 and 400 were called out to stamp it out. At D. m., the situa- ton was reported to be safe and what fire that remains Is under control and will be effectively stamped out before the fighting force quits.
 The Hammond House was a large two-story structure built several years ago for a residence for the manager of the old Sheep creek mines, and it was being used as bunk house by the Alaska Gastineau Mining company
 The flames from the burning build ing caught in the dry grass and under brush and the heavy wind that is pre- vailing carried the fire toward the beach camp. Before it's progress could be stopped 1t caught the hoist build ing and reducing it to ashes swept on toward the settlement. The hill soon swarmed with men and it's further progress in that direction was stopped. According to latest reports 1t was all out except a little stretch of timber on the opposite side of Sheep creek,
