House COncurS In Senate Reso
luton and Notification May
Come Very Soon

Until yesterday evening it was
an undecided question whether
there would be any draft at all in
Hawaii this spring and summer.
II had hung IN the air, waiting
upon congressional "ction on the
amendments TO the Selective Draft
Act PROPOSED by Provost Marshal
Crowder and recommended by the
war department. II the amendment
faf cd to pass, there would have
be~r 20 draft in Hawaii
Last night the Associated Press
dispatches to The Advertiser
/ brought the news tb"t the house,
after q bitter fight, had concurred
In the senate resolution that the
coming draft be based on the num-
ber Of Glass l men, as determined
by the QUESTIONABLE, and not, as
has heretofore been the law, upon
the populations Of the various
States.
This means that Hawaii win re-
ceive notification within a very
few days regarding the quota she
Is 20 supply, and the draft will be
on.

After receiving treatment at the Fair haven Hospital, Moran. returned to the Kobuk with the natives. AS the breakup is apparently on, he felt it was necessary to leave as otherwise ho could not get back until in July, which would ruin his mining prospects for the summer. The shooting was re- ported to the marshal at Kiana who no doubt has Mike in cutody before the present.

The following detailed account of the shooting of Martin Moran by Mike Twohey some days ago was received on the last mail from the Candle cor respondent of tho Nugget.
 Moran was shot in the back and left arm by Mike Twohey on the Lucky Three Claim at Long Beach on the Kobuk. Moran thinks Twohey ire sponsibe mentally. It seems many years ago Twohcy owned an interest in this claim, since which time it has changed hands several times; finally being bought by Moran from Chas. Dankert and T. Shay, Twohey being a witness to the deed. Last year Moran allowed Twohey to work on the ground personally, and to have all he took out He has evidently been up there too long alone and, thinking over the mat ter he grew to resent Morans owner ship. Moran was warned of his dan- ger b,A thought nothing of it until a couple of days before the shooting, when they had some little worly dis. cussion about the matter. Twohey who. is an old man. took a poke at Moran who gave him a slap, then caught him and made him promise to he good. On Moran's going into Two hey's cabin for news bulletin he had lent Twohey, he was followed by Two. hey and, on reaching point where Jas. Donovan and Olaf Nelson were flashing a sled received the contents of the shot gun which knocked him into Nelson's arms. Donovan. who saw Twohey coming. called to Moran.

In response to d number of inauirie es regarding the SO called "Dateless" tele- graphic reports published in this paper, the Nugget will explain that undated reports are a general summary of the war situation on all fronts on the day of issuance compiled by the Associated Press from the reports Of the various war offices and the reports of corrc- spondents actually on the war front. The summary is designed to give the reading public more complete des- crlption and a broader understanding of the war developments than can pos slbly he achieved by a perusual of the baro and oftimes meager official state ments issued by the belliserent war offices. The summary gives what may he termed a general view of the dcvel
 opments of the mighty war drama, in- cluding the political aspects associated herewith, thus enabling the reader to obtain a broader grasp of the war sit uatfon than may be acquired by read. ing detached reports of the military and political features involved.

owing to the doubts thrown on the validity of the Alaska Eight Hour law by the decision of Judge Bunnell of the Fourth Division holding that meas ure unconstitutional. local parties are reliably reported to have submitted the question of enforcing the law in this district to District Attorney Geo. F. Aundy recently and were informed that in view of the Bunnetll decision holding the law invalid and also be- cause of the additional fact that Judge Bunnelrs decision in force and effect establishes the law in Alaska on the question, Mir Mundy feels that he is bound to follow the same and would, therefore, feel himself constrained to refuse to prosecute under the law as long as the Bunneu decision is in effect and unreverscd. From recent issues of the Interior papers we learn that the Bunnell decision is, or shortly will be, appealed to determine the actual status of the law. According to report, a number of instances of violation of the terms of the law have already developed in this section but are apparently rendered immune from
 prosecution by the Bunnell ruling.
