Little Miss Helen Perry whose skull was fractured yesterday by a large pice of ice which was dislodged from the roof of the Key Building in the passageway which connects the Main St. with Third Ave-, is slowly recovering. The operation which it was necessary to perform to release the pressure on the brain, revealed fracture that runs from the top of the skull to the base of the brain. She is conscious and moves her limbs freely. She recognized her parents and bro- ther this morning and expressed de- sire to drink from her favorite cup which she always uses at home. While her condition is still serious and will remain so for several days, her age and splendid vitality will do much to- ward assuring complete recovery. She is receiving the best of medical atten- tion and nursing, both day and night and nothing is being over looked by
 the doctors in attendance that will as
 sure her ultimate recovery.

NIFR-DFPARTMFNTAL COMM. MEMBERS NAMED

The Post Inteligencer received to. day by special despatch q list of tho new members of the Inter-Depart- mental members. Secretary Payne has appointed one for each department re- presented as folows;-
 George L. Parkes, representing the Department of the Interior; E. A. Sherman, the Agricultural Depart ment; Colonel Clarence o. Sherill, the War Department; Captain w. c. Cole. the Navy Department; Doctor Hugh M. Smith, the Department of Commer- ce; Harry Y. Saint, the Shipping Board; James B. Corigan, the Post Office Department. It is hoped that the Committee appointed for co-ordi- hating the Government activities in Alaska, will provide a medium by which the twenty two different Bur- eaus now functioning in Alaska can be operated without the present fric- lion in administration affairs. Secre. tary Payne is evidently departing from the design of Sec. Lane, who favored a departmental board of resi- dental Alaskans. The despatch further states that the Army is now ready to expand the work of the Road Commis. sion and carry it along on more pro- tentious lines.

JUDGE F. M. BROWN
 TO HOLD HEARING

According to advices received from Judge F. M. Brown, of Valdez, there s a question as to whether "incorpor- ation" of the town of Anchorage car ried by the necessary two-thirds vote at the November 2 election. There were S5 ballots cast which signified no expression as to for or against incor- ,oration, but did signify the voters preference as to council candidates. It j said that Judge Brown holds the blank ballots cast are to be considered .n the total vote on the question of in corporation. Eliminating the blank ballots, incrpration safely carried.
 Counter Opinions.
 Local attorneys contend that the .!ank ballots cannot be considered as votes on the question, as they express no opinion. Reference is made to sec tion 625 of the Compiled Statutes of Alaska which explicitly state that the certificate of election shall show two figures, viz; The number for and against the question.
 The law does not authorize any statement relative to the number of blank ballots cast, according to com ,etent legal authority.
 Munly Retained.
 Wm. A. Munly, district attorney, has advanced the following opinion: 'The blank ballots cannot be consider ed in making an estimate of the nec- essary two thirds vote. Such blank ballots fail to express either one way )r the other the opinion or the voter. In this connection, it is said, that MT. Munly is substantially corroborated by other reliable and numerous authori- ties. Judge Brown will hold a hearing on the legality of the question within a few days. MT. Munly has consented to appear for the Alaskan Engineer ing Commission.
 Judge Brown this morning cabled Sidney Anderson, of the Bank of An chorage, advising of the hearing ,and states that Anchorage citizens oppos- ed to incorporation may secure legal advice through one of the Valdez att torneys, to represent them at the hear ing. - Anchorage Times.

The telcgraphic report from An :horage, following the recent elec- ion there, that incorporation had carried by large majority is not borne out by a canvass of the vote, which shows that the required num- cer of votes to insure the ;ncorpora- jon oi the town were not forthrOm- ing.
 .s,St summer q petition signel by many of the residents of Ancl'jra:ye ras presented to Judge BrowA, of ..e District Court, praying tha; ap order for election be issued: Subse- luently number of the owners of Acreage tracts within the boundaries of the proposed incorporation filed ] protest against the incorporation, out at hearing by Judge Brown -leld in Anchorage in September, no material opposition developed, and he Judge ordered that ap election be leld on November End, general cleo jon day, to determine the wishes of he residents in the matter.
 A certificate of the Judges of Elec- tion, filled with the Clerk of the Dis .rict Court here, shows that the to- tal number of votes cast at te cleo. ion for incorporation was 543, o1 which BPS were for incorporation 50 against incorporation and S5 ex. pressed no choice.
 The law providing for the incor' poration of towns in Alaska requires hat two-thirds or more of the total aumber of votes cast at any election for that purpose shali be in favor o1 incorporation, lacking which the el' ection shall be deemed to have car lied against incorporation.
 As the total number of votes cast in the election at Anchorage wal 543 and the number of votes required to carry the election for incorpora tion with this vote was 362, the vot' was 34 short of the required mum ber. s'.l
