SHIPPING BOARD
 POWERS ARE PUT
 INTO NEW HANDS
Senate Measure Appeared Today Eliminating One
 Territorial Board.

Senator Collins today introduced Senate Bill No. 45, which practically places in the hands of the Governor of the Territory, of Alaska many of the powers heretofore given into the hands of the Territorial Shipping Board.
 When the Shipping Board measure was recently discussed in the Sen ate, in Committee of the Whole, Gov. Riggs was present and it was he who suggested that if the Ship ping Board act was repealed some authority should be given other Ter ritorial officers to appear before commissions and the power to de- mand transportation statistics. The bill introduced today is along the lines suggested and is an act constituting the Governor of the Territory of Alaska, an agent of the Territory upon whom service of summons or other process or notice of hearing shall be made in any action, suit or proceeding in any court of the United States, the United States Shipping Board, the Interstate Commerce Commission or any other board of officers of the United States, or any of the states of the United States providing for the appearance of the Attorney Gen. eral in such actions, hearings or pro- ceedings; authorizing O. providing nf nht htoi inin tinent to the matters thereat con- sidered on the part of the Terri tory relative to transportation and traffic, into or from the Territory and providing for institution of pro- ceedings for the benefit of the Ter mission or bureau.
 New Procedure
 The bill makes it the duty of the Governor of the Territory to call into conference the Secretary, Treas urer and Attorney General, to deter mine what actiCn shall be taken in behalf of the Territory. The Attor- rley General can then be authorized to protect the interests of the Ter ritofy and employ additional eannsel after being so permitted by action of the Governor Secretary and Tfsasurer, ,$a M.
 'sThe AtorRey General is also given the authority to. demand information from any source, which may be per. tirent at any hearing.
 This bill was referred to the Transportation Committee.

The Premier Is Busy.

To cement their relations with the
representatives of the public, the
japanese hastily arranged for n grand
reception in honor of the correspon-
dents. This was given the next night,
Sunday, at the Japanese embassy in
the Shoreham hotel An effort was
made to reach every newspaper man
of Importance who was here. Invita-
tions went out by special messengers
when the hour arrived the press
was there In force-and swallow-tails.
Ambassador Shidehara officially wei
coined the guests, and presented each
man y Prince Iyesato Tokugawa,
/ President OF the japanese House of
Peers. and the brainy Admiral Baron.
n unique feature of that reception was
the presence of one Japanese for al
most every visitor. These took the
guests in hand. and saw TO il that
each person had a short private talk
with the Prince and the Admiral
Baron. They also led the way to the
refreshments. Don't forget that.
or course Prince Tokugawa made a
speech; clever speech, too And the
Admiral Baron said a few enlirh.en-
ing words.
