THE PRINCESS SOPHIA PROBATING INvEsTIGA-
 TON

The Territorial Senate, in session at
 Juneau, yesterday unanimously adopted re-
 solution which provided for the appointing
 of joint committee of the House and Sem
 ate for the purpose of conducting an investi-
 gaton into the probating of the estates of
 the victims of the Sophia disaster.
 The joint committee will be empowered to
 compel witnesses to appear before them.
 The resolution sent to the House today
 and there is not the least doubt that it will
 be adopted.
 The Territorial Legislature moved to
 action by persistent and seemingly authentic
 reports of legal malpractice and criminal and
 unlawful acts being committed in connection
 with the estates of the Sophie victims,
 tons which altogether unsatisfactory to
 the heirs some Of whom are reported to have
 entered strong protests.
 The Nenana. News, in it's issue of March 6,
 published account from clipping from
 the Seattle Union Record of iniquitous meth
 ods attempted by some certain Juneau ap-
 pointees to exploit the dead through the
 manipulation of legal machinery.
 The clipping mentioned was sent to Mrs.
 Maule Bishop. of Nenana, by Senator Dan
 Sutherand-(Ne News)
 The Nenana News is mistaken The Legislature not moved to action by persistent and seeming Y authentic reports of legal malpractice and criminal unlawful acts being committed in connection with the estates of the Sophia victims. There such reports and Senator Roman never alleged that there Senator Roman introduced the joint resolution because of rumors based upon the statement of ONE OF THE HEIRS OF ONE SOPHIA VICTIM-the one whose rawlings were contained in the clipping Senator Dan Sutherland Nenana.
 Senator Roman said explicitely that he had not accepted the rpmors as true probably true He thought, and rightly that the should be brought out and all rumors at rest.
 The investigation is a good thing and The Empire quite agrees with the motives and action Senator Roman While the work and the cost of a Legislative investigation is rather expensive day clearing up rhmors set in motion by Irresponsible individual newspaper that very often is interested in sen sa and trouble making than in truth and justice all lawyers who love fees and politicians who seek to gain advantage by making people think that all who do take, dictation from them are thieves yet the officials concerned the administrators their attorney and the many heirs relatives and friends the victims of the Princess Sophia catastrophe are en- titled to have the facts disclosed.
 It also is good thing thata Grand Jury. composed of business men of Juneau investigated

The best April Fool joke of the present thus far reported played by former President Taft on himself He arrived the station at Detroit absolute y broke He had to walk a mile and half to get the Mayor to cash a check for him. But think of what might have been if the Mayor had not known him. or if he had not had money in the bank back home, and had had to depend on brake beams and handouts until he got back to civilization.

IT! ie we could remember like we can
 forget, The world would be brighter for
 some folks, I'll bet; Our friends would have money, our
 creditors, too, And maybe the outlook would not
 seem so blue. We'd keep every promise we care lessly make, And seldom, if ever, promise would
 we break; We'd have much less trouble, we'd
 not fear to face A host of our brothers who've barred
 us from grace; We'd be free from worry, we'd be
 free from debt If we could remember like we can
