Gou. Strong Makes Plea for Enlargement of Powers of
 the Territorial Legislature
From the Annual Report of the Governor of Alaska
 to the Secretary of the Interiorl

The Alaska Legislature was created by an act of Congress ap- proved August 24, 1912. and the first session was held in March. 1913. The legislature meets bien- nially and the next session will convene on the first Monday in
 March, 1917. The legislature is vested with limited power. In fact, the limitations are such as to make its legislative powers partake more of shadow than substance.
 While Congress extended to the legislature the authority to alter amend, modify, and repeal laws in force in Alaska, such authority naturally does not extend to the customs, internal revenue, the pri- mary disposition of the soil, postal, or other general laws Of the United States; but such purely local or Territorial matters as the game and fish, and laws relating to fur-bear- ing animals of the United States. applicable to Alaska. or to the laws of the United States providing for taxes on business and trade, or to the establishment and Maintenance of schools, are under the exclusive control of Congress.
 Further, the Territory is prohibit- ed from creating any bonded indebt- edness, and so are the municipali- ties; the Territory may not levy for Territorial purposes tax in excess of per cent in any one year, upon the assessed valuation of the prop erty therein. Municipalities are limited to per cent per annum. The above are some of the llmi- tations that should be removed and the powers of the legislature ex- tended so as to provide Alaska with the full form of Territorial government, which was granted 10 every Territory by Congress, Alas ka excepted.
 In his message to Congress, in December, 1915, President Wilson recommended that the full form of Territorial government be so eX- tended. but no affirmative action in this respect has been taken, al- though bills with that object in view have been introduced i.l Con- gress.
 An elargement of the powers of the legislature should be welcomed by Congress. If the Alaska Leg islature were permitted to legislate upon all matters bearing an in- innate relation to the Territory and, therefore, not general, Con- gress would be relieved from leg islation covering matters of purely local concern. It is to be presumed. therefore, that the legislation thus enacted would be better adapted to the immediate needs of the Terri tory. If Alaska is to receive the full measure of progress and growth to which it is fairly entitled by req son of its commanding preeminence in the matter of great natural re- sources, liberal extension of local Self-government is imperative. As at present constituted, Congress and the Territorial legislature can not cooperate in a satisfactory
 manner, and conflicts at times will
 be inevitable. It is not asked that Congress waive its right to control
 those subjects of legislation that are national, ana not local ID their

 According to the story of Mrs. Beau vais, her daughter left home early yes- terday afternoon to go to the Clay home where she claimed to have been engaged to do some sewing. Later in the afternoon the sounds of revelry reused the neighborhood and Mrs. Beauvais sent her granddaughter down to the house to see if the child's mother was there.
 While there are nominal charges against Mrs. Clay anc \Tuinney the police are conducting an investigation that may result in even more serious charges being preferred. In the mean time a mother is wondering what hap

X white man, a negro, woman and white girl are under arrest at the city jail as result of drunken orgy in- terrupted yesterday afternoon by Chief of Police Brisbois and Policeman Thur man and Wilkerson. An air of mys- tery surrounds the entire affair which may have been nothing more than drunken debauch indulged in by the trio and at least one other negro who made a getaway, or it may have been a case of giving liquor to the young white woman as a preliminary step to forcing her into life of shame.
 Rosie Whitlock, aged P years, moth CT of six year old little girl, and the principal figure in q Kidnapping case Tn California that resulted in the sending to the penitentiary of deputy -sherift who kept her a prisoner on his ranch near Beaumont, for several weeks, IS the young woman who was found at 609 South Third avenue, in state Of profound intoXication when the police visited that house.

Clarence Tuinney, white. who was found in the Clay ! house with the colored woman seated upon his lap, is under arrest charged with disorderly conduct. He appeared | to have been drinking, although he was not intoxicated. That there were others in the house when the police were called who made their escape be- | fore the arrival of the officers, is gen. orally believed.
 All of yesterday afternoon. say peo-
 pie living on South Third avenue, there was a carousing at the Clay home
 Late in the afternoon call was sent
 to the police station, with the result i that Mrs Clay and Tuinney were talk cn to the city jail. The Whitlock girl ! was unable to move and she was re-
 moved to the home of her mother, Mrs 1 Mary R. Beauvais, at 515 South Third avenue. There a physician did what | he could to restore her to conscious
 ness. Instead Of becoming normal she became hySterical and made incOherent
 remarks indicating that she had had 1 liquor or some drug forced upon her
 The discovery of the condition of Mrs Whitlock was made first by her little
 daughter who ran to scr grandmother i and told her that her mother was be- ing locked in a room and that some
 men were going to kill her The po-
 lice made a quick run to the house ant | found a condition of affairs that re
 suited in the speedy arrest of the two who were making the disturbance. Th'
