SIMPLY REPEATS ASSERTIONS.

JUNEAU, March 27.--Sen. Suther- land made complete fizzle yesterday afternoon of his announced intention to prove the truth of his former as- sertion that men had been railrOaded to prison in the Fourth division. He took up the hour granted him by the Senate in making charges against of ficials of the division, but despite his assertion of the day before that he would bring forth proof of the truth of his assertions, he failed to produce 9 single bit of evidence to support his charges. He read some newspaper comments on the trials of Rose, Cal lahan and WooIridge at Fairbanks, and attempted to justify the charges he had made by asserting that he never lied, and that the people of the Fourth division knew it.
 Yesterday afternoon the House adopted new rules practically the same as those adopted by the last Senate.
 In the Senate the Sutherland mem- orial to Congress. protesting against the passage of the Alexander bill, was passed, as was also the Hickman bill providing for the establishment of fish hatcheries and a fish commits sion. The bill providing for the granting of franchises to public serv- ice corporations was also passed.

Another hear ing on the measure will be had.

Washington, Dee s.--with tre-
mendous financial momentum for a
successful prosecution OF the war
against Germany, the Siyty-fifth con
gress opened its second session to-
day.
America will provide money with

McAdoo submitted estimates calling
for the appropriation of $l3,504 ,S57.-

world ever saw This sum is to coy-
er the fiscal year OF 1919, but is only
o starter Other vast sums will be
asked later as the emergencies arise.
Claude Kitchen. Democratic lead
er OF the house sounded his belief
that every man who is not obliged to
shoulder q gun ought to shoulder his
bank account and dump 1t into the
common Golfers and stand behind the
fighting forces. He declared that
every man who stays at home should
be taxed until 1t hurts"
Speculation as to the nature OF the
Presidents address centers largely
upon the question whether he Will
recommend declarations Of war by
the United States against Germany's
allies. General belief is that he will
not, at least for the present, and that
congress will follow his desires.
Sentiment Tor such a9tiosl, is vide
spread, however, and individual mem
bers probably will introduce war res
olutions One or two senators were
prepared today to offer such resolu-
tions but were prevailed upon to
withhold them.

He came out fatty and said he ex-
