.WILL TALK OUT MONDAY
Fourth Division Senator Seeks to Refute the
 Certain Charges
 That Are Made.

Senator Dan Sutherland, of the Fourth Division announced this at' ternoon. just before the Senate ad' iourned. that he would ask unani nous consent of the Senate as mat ter of personal privilege to present documents to the Senate to disproYe lp editorial remark of the Juneau Daily Empire made in the issue oi March g.
 q shall ask as a matter of person al privilege" said Senator Suther' land, "as a matter that affects mo personally. to offer evidence in the shape of documents that have re ceived to disprove remarks made by the editor of the Empire to the effect that I said something in the Senate which was untrue. These documents form conclusive proof on this point, and I want to refute the charge made by The Empire.
 "If the editor of the Empire cares to be present Monday I am sure the matter would be beneficial to him as we'll as to the Senator's"
 What The Empire Said
 The statement that Senator Suth' erland will offer documents to dis prove. taken from the editorial page of The Empire of March 9, reads as follows:
 we are inclined to believe that Senator Sutherland's charge last night that men were railroaded' to the penitentiary in the Fourth Di vision was the result of anger and a natural partisanship that causes him to make extravagant and undignified accusations in heated partisan cam paigns. That it is unthinkably untrue he knows, and we do not believe that he would make the charge in a mo ment of calm"

amended resolution was voted down by the Senate, Senators Aldrich, Gaustad Roman, Sundback and Presi. dent Hubbard voting against it's adoption.

The com mittee also reported out Senate Bill No. 2l, abolishing the commission for the promotion of uniform laws, recommending it's passage with one change. The amendment is to strike out section 9 of the proposed act so that the bill will take effect in the statutory time after passage, in stead of at once.
 Senator Sulzer introduced Senate Bill No. 2S, providing for the estab' Iishment of a home for aged wo' men at Skagway. and making an ap- propriation of $2O,OOO for that pur- pose. The bill was referred to the committee on finance and contingent expenses.

 Senator Gaustad introduced Sen ate Bill No. 2S, making change in Section CPS of the Compiled Laws of Alaska, providing that municipal councils adopting ordinances be re- quired to publish the text of the ordinance once a week for three weeks in a newspaper published in the city.
 There was no business on the daily file. so the Senate declared a recess until the joint memorial service at 2 o'clock.

 Johnny Held was just plain man that spokc right on but he was man. every inch of him
 "He was not oppressive to those beneath him nor obsequius to those above him; his character was con. sistent one always knew just where Co find him; one expected sympathy md he did not find indifference one expected generosity and he did not find hardness of heart; one eX. oected sincerity and he did not find hypocrisy; one expected mercy and he did not find cruelty. You loved him as one of your body, and the lawyers and the court loved him for what he was as a man and citi. gen."
