House Is Evenly Divided Between Appointive and Elective
 Boards.
WANT PEOPLE TO SAY
Nelson School System Is Given a Hard Shot by
 Casey; Amendment Finally Lost.

Yesterday afternoon during the discussion of the bill providing for the uniform school system for the Territory, considerable division oi opinion developed in the House ov- CT the question of the formation oi school board, The House was evenly divided on the question as to whether the Board should bt elected, one member from each Di- vision, or whether the board shauld be composed of appointive Territor- ial officers.
 Representative Daly opposed the elective board and contended that the expense would amount to be tween $20,000 and $25,000 whicl could be spent to better advantage in actually paying school expenses He contended that the board would only meet one each year, if elected and that questions would be con stantly arising which would require immediate action. representative Daly also held that good men could HOt Ut lOUAu NIlO WOulu their business during the summer months to come to Juneau for 9 board meeting from the Nome and interior divisions.
 Representative Burns contend ed that the people of the Territory should be given some say in the matter of choosing the board. Rep resentative Coombs stated that il he could be shown where a board composed of members elected from each division could accomplish any more than one composed of appoint ed officers who would be in Juneau almost constantly, he would sup port the measure and cheerfully stand for the additional expense.
 For Elective Board.
 Representative Casey stated that in his opinion the elective board was the best and the little money which the Territory will spend il education is not exactly wasted al the children of the people of the Territory will be the ones to con- tinuc the development after the present generation has gone and that in his opinion, on account Of the diversified conditions, every di- vision should be represented by { man elected by the people.
 "We have school system al present with an appointive board and when you compare the present Nelson school system with the schools in the cities where elective boards manage them you will blush for shame for your Nelson schools, he said.
 Benefit for Children. 1 Representative COOmbS stated that he was not in favor of retard
 ing education through lack O. funds, but that he wanted to SCI the children get the benefit of O. every cent spent.
 Representative Hess favored thu elective school board, but not tn, provision for an elective school su perintendent. Representative Mur ray stated that he did not SC, where an elective board would d. l the Territory any particular good. l Representative Snow stated tha 1 the Territory has practically n' school system at present and tha 1 in his opinion, right now, whel 1 the school system for the Territor is being formed, the people shoul

have say in how it should be done. He stated that to him it did not seem reasonable for the people of the Territory to saddle the add ed responsibility on officials appoint ed by the government at Washing ton and paid by the Federal gov- ernment. tssSe
 The proposed amendment pro viding for an elective board was then put to the body and lost, the vote being a tie. Price, Casey, Snow, Burns, Nerland and Cannon voted for the amendment, the oth- CTS opposed.

EXTENSION OF The
SEWER SYSTEM Has.
BEEN AU THORIzED

Several estimates for the extension
of sewer system were on Street Com
missioner Johnsop's desk yesterday
afternoon. One of the proposed ex
tensions, to connect the woman's
home, was brought up at the meeting
of the city commissioners later in
the day. It was stated that for the
expenditure Of $50 the needed extern
sion could be made. This was favored
by the mayor and other commission
erss~and the work was authorized, to
start Immediately.
The street commissioner also sub
mitted an estimate of S348 for the
changing of the drain at the foot
of Donelson street, and also estinlat-
ed the cost for connection of the
sewer to the negro school property on
West Gregory street at s257. Neither
of the two latter estimates were acted
upon, and were allowed to lay over
for the present, on account of the
large amount of work now in hand

Jules yerne's 100000 Leagues Under
the Sea-"
By Bob Reel.


While the whole world read about
and waited the latest news of the
submarine warfare which has touched
the very shores of the United States,
hundreds of people were turned away
from the big Studebaker theatre last
evening, where the audience in silent
wonder watched a torpedo made
ready, loaded and fired from beneath
the waves, and saw it spin under
water to its mark and wreck ship.
They saw beauty and horror at the
bottom of the ocean. They saw some
thing absolutely new in films. They
saw the unfolding of Jules Verne's
classic story, Twenty Thousand
eLagues Under the Sea-" skillfully
welded with parts of Mysterious
Island" and all accompanied by ex
quisite music which made for the
greatest evening of cinema ever Of
fered in the history of the young art.
It was the premiere of the first
and only submarine photo-drama pre-
scented by the Universal Film Manu-
featuring Company, produced by
Stuart Patton and made possible by
the Williamson inventions.
While the submarine features are
the ones which will create the most
widespread interest, for they are
epoch-making in the realm of public
entertainment, this celluloid will at
tract many for its beauty of land
and skyscape. There are some ex-
ceptional "takes" of jungle vegeta-
ton and sunsets. These, combined
with those made in the cradle of the
deep, make the feature stand out as
the most unusual film yet produced.
Alan Holubar. as Captain Memo,
Jane Gail in the dual role of the
Princess Daaker and the "cl1ild of
nature" and Matt Moore as Lieuten-
ant Bond, the staunch defender and
sweetheart of the jungle child, arr
the featured players. They were
chosen with a deal of sagacity and
acquit themselves well.
The producers have done admira-
bly, in weaving the unrelated threads
into a compact whole. There is
scarcely a break in continuity of
thought and action. The story as
pictured holds interest for all, from
those who reveled in Jules Verne's
fantastic yarns to the kid who 'snever
heard of the guy" To doubt the sue
cess of the picture from any point
of view you have a mind to take
would be as absurd as to question

Licensing of Companies
"Unsafe and Unpatriotic,"
Says r. H. Hurd
Barred by the Allies
Agents Would Have Access to
Munition Plants; Aid to
Propaganda
[Staf Correspondence

, WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Licensing
Of German and enemy-ally insurance
companies was declared unsafe and
unpatriotic" to-day by Richard NJ.
Hurd, chairman Of the board Of trus-
tees of the American Defence Society,
who headed New York delegation ap-
pearing before Assistant Secretary
Rowe of the Treasury Department to
protest the granting of such licenses.
Mr.. Hurd said that such companies,
if licensed, would have access to the
work Of the engineers and inspectors of
the national or state boards Of under
writer's and also could send their own
inspectors through insured properties,
including munitions plants, -four mills,
storage warehouses of all kinds, docks,
wire factories and many other indus
trial establishments. ~
Little, il any, argument was needed,
he said, to demonstrate that it would
be "unpatriotic" to permit such enemy
and enemy-ally companies to do bust
ness in the United States.
Mr.. Hurd said there were four direct
writing German insurance companies
now operating in the United States and
seven reinsurance companies, of which
four are German, two Bulgarian and
one Austrian. Their assets in the
United States on December 81, 1915, he
gave as s27,720,000 and their risks in
the United States as $3.50. 200, or
less than one cent of assets for each
dollar of risk.

ginning Of the European war the Ger

they have been suffered to continue so

Hurd. obviously, there is no argu-
ment permitting enemy or ally Of enc
my fire insurance companies TO do
business in this country which would
not apply equally to banks, mercantile
companies, manufacturers or steam
ship companies Of Germany or her al
lies.
"A very important consideration, in
view of the worldwide campaign OF
German propaganda, is the sentimental
effect of tolerating German companies
in this country. Germans can and
doubtless will use this throughout the
